4/13/2011 - "Where did you place God Today?"

Scripture:
2 Corinthians 13: 5 "Test yourself to see if you are in the faith; examine yourself! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you -- unless indeed you fail the test?"

Observation:
Very straight forward to put it out there. I think I forget a lot of times in the day, Christ is with me, giving me this big bubble space of love, blessing and protection you name it, it is all within the bubble. But yet I reluctant to remember that as I move on with day to day. Though when I read my bible and Sunday comes, I question is my faith strong enough? Maybe I need to set back and really take in and acknowledge it.
For Christ is in me, I know I am already better position then anyone else. Since this journey I have taken I can see some small very minor changes in me. I know that just because people can site off the versus in Bible, doesn't me they have stronger faith. Though I am not at that stage, which I wish and hope to be some day, I know my faith is stronger then yesterday and last week and tomorrow it will be stronger then today.
Christ is stirred my heart and way to live day to day in his glory. Everything we have and are around us is work of God. We need to preserve and respect that. So I say this to you Margaret! Respect God and Listen to God through the air breeze he gives, through the circumstances he present to you.

Application:
I am not sure how to test my faith, however, all I can say is I know my faith is growing daily. It is a bit difficult to put into word but I know it is. I need to still continue to listen and meditate on his word, for his word is only way to learn.
Putting my faith should be priority, just like wanting to do well at work and excel at work, be the best, I need to keep that attitude with my faith and walk with God. If my faith and Walk with God fails then I have failed this life. It is pointless to work for it. I have to work in the direction and steps which God approved and is God centered.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I love your heart, I love your words, I love your grace. Thank you for your unconditional love and blessing for my family and me. We have been so blessed despite all the troubles my parents have face and we have been affected.
Father your love so grand, you are so big, help me understand and accept your grand plans and teachings you give. Open my heart and mind and soul to you, help me to put you as my priority. All the blessing didn't happen because of myself effort but because you have blessed me with.
You are magnificent, you love me for who I am. Father thank you for pouring out so much love for me that sometimes it is overwhelming but good overwhelming. Continue to love me. Lord I am sinner who you have loved that you have sacrificed your one and only Son to wash my shames. I am here today in the flesh you provide because you have save me.
Father, thank you! Help lead me not into temptation but deliver me from the evil. Lord help me to be ready and strong to fight battle to be wiser servant of you Lord. Thank you for your blessing and love in your name I pray Amen!
