I am not sure if I am flying on the "God is blessing me by releasing me from stress because I have my priorities in order"
or if that really translates to:
"I'm not doing any work so I don't feel stressed"
but today is where the rubber meets the road.
Time has gotten shorter and shorter to get the magazine done. The new issue, (slightly behind) is coming today and the April issue is due to layout by Thursday. I have not even started a thing. Are you seeing my point?
I am anxious to see what miracle God is going to come through with. I am just going to try this month to walk out the natural. School during the day...home and husband. Church which includes a 3 hour stint on Tuesdays which would be work time according to the new schedule and then just see how it goes. The worst that can happen is...well, I'm not sure what the worst that can happen is. I guess we are all about to find out.
Today's Bible Study of course follows along this same theme I am in lately. God took me straight to 2 Corinthians 7 even though I am in Mathew and John right now.
2 Corinthians 7:1
Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
Philip kind of hit on this a bit yesterday too...the great and sacrificial gift that has been given to us should at LEAST result in true repentance. You cannot remain fixed in your spot. In your sin. You must turn away from it. You must STOP.
2 Corinthians 6:17 Therefore come out from them and be separate, Touch no unlcean thing and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters.
There is no harmony between Christ and the enemy. Nothing in common between a believer and an unbeliever. No agreement between temple and idols.
We are the temple of the living God.
We ought to act like it.
It is amazing how much we do not act like this! How I don't!
We are the VERY TEMPLE of the living God and yet we seek after idols?
Whatever idol it is...work, material things, food, praise, security even...we have nothing in common with idols or those who seek after them.
Surround yourself with those striving for holiness so that you are pulled up and toward the Lord as you are pulling others up as well. You have nothing in common with the world.
God's Speed this day to you all in whatever capacity you need it.
Healing, finances, hope. Whatever. God's plan for you is better than your own. Seek hard after Him and the rest will come.
Shalom Ya'll.

I think Paul exhorts us to pray without ceasing so we remember to seek Him first in everything... if we pray without ceasing, we can more easily let go of things and loosen our grips on other things. It takes that for me... otherwise, look out! I'm poinging everywhere! And the Bible study... oh my, when I start slipping with that, it's like taking my hands off the oars.
