In the midst of a load of confusion this morning, I was randomly flipping through the bible when I felt God nudge me to stop.. I stopped on Malachi 3 and found myself reading verses 16-18, but rereading 16:
Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another,
And the Lord listened and heard them;
So a book of remembrance was written before Him
For those who fear the Lord
And who meditate on His name.
(NKJV)
I was expecting an answer of comfort for my confusion, He gave me an answer of what to do in the midst of my unknowing, and peace... When we are so overloaded in our own troubles and problems, God becomes some sort of wish bank, or fairy god-mother. We have to take our focus off "this&this&that" and say, "okay God.. let you be my focus right now, no matter what, I trust you with the outcome."
Psalm 37:4 (NASB)
Delight yourself in the Lord; And He will give you the desires of your heart.
Notice that God didn't say "I will give you the desires of your heart and then you shall delight yourself in Me." No no, we must first make Him our number one then He will give us what it is we crave.... and if it's Him [as our] first [desire], we get Him so abundantly! How awesome is that? Well I don't know about you but for me it's WAY awesome!
