January 20 ... Exodus 7 - 9 "Miserable"
Exodus 8:9 - "When do you want the frogs out of your palace, out of your houses?" asked Moses. "Tomorrow," says Pharaoh. Was he so stubborn that he didn't want to appear needy either? God is speaking to me right now in my life about the 66 Love Letters quote: "Detaching me from everything that numbs my sacred hunger for HIM and makes me feel hungrier for something other than God." I woke up feeling miserable this morning about my life. As I was talking to God about it, a friend texted me and said: God doesn't want you to be miserable. I quoted Hosea 5:15 to her. Then I read page 7: "I didn't create you to be miserable or empty." My plan is for you to share my joy." So I'm setting you free and I'm so grateful to HIM cause I think I've made a mess of life. Am I trusting God's Power to enter my story today? I need Him so!

"But when Pharaoh saw that he had some breathing room, he got stubborn again and wouldn't listen." How often I found myself in this place. When the heat lets up just a bit, I'm not as desperate for Him, and I quickly fall back into old patterns. The first time I read about Pharoah, I thought what a prideful ignorant man he was. This time as I read about Moses and Pharoah, I find myself wearing Pharoah's sandals. What does it take for me to sell out to God's Will for my life and quit trying to do it on my own?
ReplyDeleteOh, Annette, I agree with you so. I amen every word you wrote on this post. Love you...Mary Lou
ReplyDeleteI couldn't sleep last night, and I too woke up this morning with this weird and unsettling feeling in my spirit. And as the morning passed, and I faced some unwelcoming realities, my prayer was not to question what was happening in my life, but to allow the Lord to be unreasonable. To trust him with my difficulties.
ReplyDeleteThis was my small step in selling out to God's will for my life and asking him to work through me today to minister to others, was my little way of beginning to walk in His Will and Not Mine.
