I read an awesome devotion last night that really blessed me. I was amazed because normally this book (My Utmost for His Highest) will be confusing for me or I'll only understand part of what he's trying to say. Last night I got all of it.
It says in 2 Peter that we are partakers in the divine nature of God. We have to try to work that divine nature into our human nature. One of the first habits to form within the divine nature is recognizing God's providence in our lives. He said "God would reach for the last grain of sand or the remotest star to bless us if we will only obey Him."
It really ministered to me and made me realize the importance in trusting in God's providence. He is God Almighty - capable of anything and everything. And we have access to Him. Why do we worry so much? Why are we anxious about how we're going to pay bills? I pray that I would be able to live in this divine nature where trusting in God's providence in part of who I am.

ReplyDeleteConfessions. I felt so bad for myself. I'm on one of those "I hate you dessert!" kicks and I decided to just pitch all this leftover gourmet Whole Foods cake into the trash. But it was oh so good and as I'm dumping it into the trash, I'm thinking WHY GOD WHY!!?!?!?! Why does it have to be this way????????? I'm scooping out bites into my mouth as the blobs are falling into the trash can and I'm battling with my conscience thinking, STOP THIS! No I can't it's so good and I paid a lot for it. QUIT FATTY! But it's got strawberries in it. YOU SUCK. Ok fine!
ReplyDeleteLili, why is this thing so difficult?
