Put GOD in the center and everything will come together. It is the message He wants you to know today. I pray and seek Him always before I write and these are the words He wants to say. I know it can be hard to do this. I know we all have busy lives and it is easier to just do things on our own without thinking twice. For it is something we are raised to be....independent. And yet God wants us completely dependent on Him! So it is a total rewiring of the brain for what we have been taught. But when you give your heart to Him and you confess with your mouth that He is your Saviour who paid your debt on the cross, the act of keeping Him in the center of your life is not that hard. But I urge you to know that He is a jealous God who will get your attention when He feels you are NO longer putting Him front and center. I know this for He got my attention this past summer. I was getting so caught up in taking care of the household and the mortgage and car payments and menus/food shopping and what car needs gas and what credit card is due....that I totally took God out of it. Although I was always a faithful tither, I was no longer attending church because I was at work. That crucial decision was the beginning of it for me. I began to feel enslaved to my job in order to be responsible to my obligations. Things were no longer easy for me. With God everything is effortless and I began to see nothing was coming easy. My income was reduced in the new year which was God's first hint and I ignored it and it was not until He allowed my employers to change my schedule so that I would have been working 6 days all summer long, did He speak directly to me that I said, "Oh know"...and realized all the things that were before Him and He actually brought to my attention that He felt He was behind my kittens, husband and pool. I was crushed and devastated and veryyyy scared for the wrath of God is great and veryyyy real. Thus how my whole journey began....all because I forgot to keep Him in the center of my life. So He urges you NOW like he did that summer day to me....to put Him back in the center of your life....and He will see to it that everything else comes together. Amen!
