"Goodness, taste and see that The Lord is acceptable! Favored is the man who takes asylum in Him! - Psalm 34:8
Half a month prior, I hung up the telephone in a way I wasn't envisioning. It was the kind of call where I hung up, shook my head and pondered, "what in the world occurred? In what manner would something be able to get so miscommunicated?"
I had a rush of uneasiness, trouble, and dread wash over me. For me, the greatest issue that originates from miscommunication in my life is that it sends me in a spiral of attempting to make sense of what turned out badly and how might I fix it. It's difficult to concede yet it's a sad defect in me.
In the event that an outcast were glancing in on me during one of these minutes, they may even contemplate whether I recollect my old buddy, Jesus! How odd is that I live for Jesus and serve Christ and His realm, yet my life could recount to an alternate story whenever seen from that viewpoint.
I'm certain you've been there with me previously - one second you're on your knees in supplication and the following second you put on your cape accepting the untruth that you are superwoman and can make sense of this faltering life.
Psalm 34:8 says, "Taste and see that the Lord is acceptable! Favored is the man who takes shelter in Him." My heart has needed to spend time with the "taste and see" part for some time.
Taste happens rapidly, seeing is a decision that may bring about pausing. I as of late read some place that the normal individual will just trust that a screen will stack on their PC or telephone before proceeding onward. 5 seconds. That knocked my socks off yet was convictingly obvious. This propensity for moment everything has tragically corresponded with the manner in which I can in some cases figure the Lord should work as well. In the event that He doesn't offer me His response in 5 seconds, the before I know it I'm settling on a decision that I think best accommodates His character. This shows a-great deal the wicked human heart. We can get made up for lost time accepting we can control the character of God to fit the craving we need, regardless of whether it's an "alright" thing. We've all done this, on the off chance that not in enormous things, at that point I'm positive in the little.
For me this decision of "thinking" I realize what God needs from me is totally not the same as having that harmony in your spirit that lone originates from affirmation in The Lord. These decisions of speedy reasoning consistently accomplish more damage than anything else. While God surely has utilized them to show me things, it in some cases makes things socially dubious. The individual toward the finish of the call from half a month prior would presumably reveal to you that the aftereffect of my "thinking" I got with the Lord has caused her anguish and stress. This disaster areas me and I'm certain it's destroyed you. Recognition God however, this is the place we see our delicate, flighty reasoning gathering the effortlessness and leniency of God. Inside our messed up, hurried decisions, He actually cherishes us enough to utilize them to show us something.
At the point when we don't hold up upon the Lord, we're not looking for Him as our shelter and all-knowing Father. We're looking for our own hearts' wants which aren't generally God's. We race ahead and trust He'll be there toward the end goal.
He will be, I can guarantee you that, however there will outcome standing by as well. Having the security in Christ as our shelter implies we're profoundly observing that we're adjusting every one of our wants to Him. Psalm 34:8 wraps up with, "Favored is the man that takes shelter in Him."
I would prefer not to pass up the gifts of what God needs to do in my life since I'm excessively bustling attempting to make sense of everything all alone. I would prefer not to be the lady who can hardly wait longer than 5 seconds concerning enormous decisions that impact the realm of God, since all minutes matter from a Kingdom point of view. I would prefer not to go snatching for my superwoman cape each time The Lord's reaction takes longer than I anticipate. What I need more than anything is a heart that recollects in hard minutes you and I can't take shelter in ourselves. I need a heart fastened to the words, "Taste and see that The Lord is acceptable" and I supplicate this for you, as well.
