Wow, has it not been a hectic few weeks. It’s like I feel the drawing of the Lord to pen down my thoughts – or rather type them down. I can’t believe through, how quickly time is flying. It is already the end of February. It seems like I was only just thinking about goals for this year yesterday.
I think a lot of the things God has been teaching me lately is surrounded and associated with being stuck in a moment, struggling in my own efforts and strength. Due to being so choleric, I find myself driven by the objectives of a task, so focused and committed to seeing whatever is before me, at the work of my hand get accomplished. And not just that, but see it get done effectively, exhaustively, comprehensively, thoroughly, carefully and systematically. Yes, it can be quite annoying to work on a project with me. Beware!
Don’t get me wrong, it is not all bad. It’s just that the sword has two edges (this topic deserves another whole blog entry to itself).
I find so many times though, that my head gets stuck in the moment. And I begin to ask the wrong questions. How can I do this? Rather than, how would God have me do this? Or, what is God teaching me through this? How can I get through this? Rather than, how are You changing me through this?
I think a lot of times the reason why we are just existing rather than really living. Or why we may experience problems, instead of opportunities, is our perspective. What kind of questions are you asking yourself today?
Many times we ask, God why can’t you change my situation? But I believe, God would say right back to us, because I want to change you first.
