“Anyone who
listens to My teaching and obeys Me is wise, like a person who builds
a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the
floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won't
collapse, because it is built on rock.” Matthew 7: 24-25
For the next month
or so, I will be devoting my blog to the names of God that I received
at the women's night in prayer, 2012, at solid rock. Not only will
this focus my thoughts of God, but I know that it will help us all to
remember all that he does for us through the names that He has.
It's only been
four days since Lent has started, but this season has been difficult
for me. Amidst the daily grind, my mind just gets caught up in so
many things, regardless of whether or not I want to think about them.
This has been a
time for me to really figure out how to take my thoughts captive and
make them obedient to Christ.
Remembering that
the Lord is my rock is really all that is keeping everything together
for me. When I feel hopeless, or lost in the pain that I feel, I
remember that nothing can move me as long as I am founded on the
solid rock.
Today, at bible
study, we prayed over issues that we're all having that we need to
let go. Some people mentioned selfishness, and others believing the
lies of the enemy. But, for me, I confessed my lack of trust in God.
I confessed how I
haven't trusted him completely with the issues that I'm going
through, mostly because sometimes I like to hold on to things. As
weird as it is, sometimes God is there for us but we choose to remain
in the dark for a little while longer.
Just one more
drink.
Just one more
kiss.
Just one more
night in sin.
It's with this
lack of trust that I've felt myself slipping further away from what
He has for me. But, it is with this reminder that He is my rock that
I can really see what God's word says about who He is.
Trust Him when He
tells you who He is. He is the rock, and a solid foundation that you
can build your life on.
In Christ,
Lilia
