Mustard Seed Faith: Many Thoughts For The Day

I have so many thoughts going through my mind this morning that I am not sure which to write about. Thinking on God's goodness in my life and thanking Him for all His many blessings, thinking on how much work I have to do today and probably won't get it all done...lol. :) Thinking on how trying to know His will for your life can seem like such an adventure, and how waiting for the Lord to show you His will is like waiting on rain during a season of drought.

With this last thought on my mind the most, I woke up this morning and the Lord had put a verse on my mind, Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Psalm 27:14.

I went and got my Bible and read this verse but as I read it I was saying "Lord I have read this verse many times and I know I have to wait on you and I am trying but sometimes waiting is so very hard." It was as if He and I were having a conversation on how much I was really trusting Him, I wanted to cry and say "But Lord I feel like I am getting discouraged and how do I keep waiting when its so hard. Then He gave me another verse. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13. As you can imagine at that point I could not argue anymore! For He truly is my strength and help, I know that while I am waiting, He is working in ways I cannot see and some way, somehow, He will get the glory. I may never understand here in this life what He is doing but I do know that in Heaven I will know. But I suppose at that point I will not even think about it because I will be too busy praising His wonderful name! I thank Him for giving me these verses this morning and the encouragement that I received from them.

I have so many other verses going through my mind as well, but another one that stands out to me at this moment is, Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit Thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and he shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37:4-5. The desire of my heart is to have a life that would be pleasing to the Lord. Not that others would see me because I have done nothing and am nothing without Him. But they would see His goodness in my life. The desire of my heart and I know Jonathan's also is to have a home that would be pleasing to Him.

I know that a home is a place where you find refuge during a storm and a place you find great joy as well. I also know that we must have God at the center of our home and then everything else will fall into place. I know that in a home there will be good times and bad, and things will not always be a bed of roses, but I also know that with Him first in our lives we can make it through anything. I so desire to be a good wife for my husband, a better Christian, that I would have a light that shines brightly for the Lord, a good friend to those around me, and I have a desire to be a Mommy and have children of our own, that we could tell them about Jesus and how much He loves and cares for them!

I thank the Lord for His great mercy in my life. I am not perfect and I have made mistakes and I know that as long as I live in this life I will make mistakes, but I am so thankful to know that even when I fail Him, He is there to pick me up, piece me back together and give me another chance to live for Him! He has done so much for me and I feel like I cannot do enough for Him. I want to give Him my whole heart and I don't want to hold anything back. He gave His life for me, for us, so that we could be free so how could we not give our lives back to Him. I have decided to give God everything I have! Will you join me?
