I am shoveling popcorn in my mouth...still struggling with eating my emotions...I know God is trying to tell me something but I'm not sure what...My last blog I talked about wicked Vegas and I'm over that but the devil is persistant. I struggle!!! I am broken--and honestly I am comfortable with the fact I am broken but I just want to always be moving forward and not stuck or back-pedaling. Its hard. There is a new challenge daily...
So last night I was at church for --with one voice--and someone said a verse was on their heart and it resignated with me. It is Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the lord, until he comes and showers righteousness on you. Hosea 10:12
The part that I really feel penetrated by is break up your unplowed ground. I ask myself where do I need some plowing. What area of my life have I left alone to long...hmmmmm...this is deep so I eat popcorn... not one piece at a time but as many as I can so that I have popcorn crumbs all over myself and my chair...like a child...hmmmmmmm. maybe its the next line that I need to hear...Do I need to seek the Lord more? Do I expose myself to too much evil...I read a commentary about this verse and it says that we are so busy with the multiplying evils of this world that we do not seek the Lord as we should...what evils am I preoccupied with?
This isn't the first time God has led me to Hosea. Its interesting! The book is not that uplifting and so I go hmmmmmmmmm...
Well all this has made me sleepy!!!
I pray Lord that you will reveal to me the area of my life that has been neglected--the area that you want me to break up and plow...I know Lord that you want what is best for me and that you have a plan for me and I trust you. You sent you son so that I can be saved and I want to be saved and part of that is digging up areas that are scary. I trust you Lord that you will hold my hand and help me dig. I know you won't make me do it--you give me a choice--but I choose you Lord. I choose to follow you! I do not want the devil to have a hold on me I want to deal with these things so that I can seek you completely--wholy--I am yours! Thank you for the cross! I pray also that you keep my family safe as we sleep this night and we wake up restored and rested--we wake up giving our day to you. Its in Jesus name that I pray amen!
