That was my bible lesson this morning as I sat and read the Word and did my devotions. Time spent alone with the Lord is so important. I know I have said it so many times before but it is so true. I reflect back on my old self and I get so saddened when I recall my old Sunday routine. I would rush around the house getting ready for work, commuting fifty minutes one way to make it to work by my morning shift and just working all day without any time to worship, praise or devote. No church, no fellowship, no time for God. I am embarrassed to confess my sin to you but it is the truth and when we confess with our mouths, we are forgiven and set free. And is it any wonder the Lord asked me to lay down my office pen, my financial secured position of over 21 years to follow Him and rely solely and completely on Him? For those that thought I was crazy and irresponsible should now see clearly why I was made to let go of it all and trust in Him only. For I learned quickly that the very thing I held on to the tightest was the very thing the Lord told me to lose. I held on to my job for my paycheck and my "security" instead of relying on the One who signed those checks. The Lord told me later that my blessings never came from my employer, they were just who He used to bless me. All my blessings then and always will come from Him. The bible tells us that no matter what we face in life-and we will all face our challenges....that God will be with us. He will never abandon us nor fail to help us during our difficult days. We must never forget Who it is that is our true life line. So give thanks to Him today for He is worthy to be praised for He is so faithful and loyal to us. I just love my Lord so....
