I am in the process of leaning many lessons from God. He is teaching me truth in this life I live. Many times we think we already know what we are doing and how to do it; but in reality we have know clue. Also we think some concepts are so simple but when we have to apply them we are confronted with great distress. The reality of our life is we see ideas with such a distorted lens. The lies of this world and desires of our heart draw us away from the truths of our mighty and gracious God.
I have been living my life thinking I was doing good and that I was really on fire for God; but how can this be when the fear of telling others about the one true God and the greatest gift one can receive is lurking all around me. I should be on top of the mountain shouting the word of God to all who will hear. I am reminded of this each time I see Mars Hill and think of the message of the unknown God.
Then last night at Bible Study we were studying 1 Peter 1:13-16 which says...
"Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do ; for it is written: Be holy, because I am holy. "
These verses are amazing to me because it has great truth and need for application. As children of God we must be obedient; we must prepare our minds for action. So often we conform to the evil in the world and our evil desires; and we forget the one true God.
I pray that I will continue to learn these important lessons in my life and allow God to form and mold me into the woman of God he wants me to be.
