What are you allowing in your life that Christ would urge you not?
What are you coveting that He would have already cast away?
Sometimes, our lives seem to be on hold, and we blame it on circumstances, being held back, and maybe even our own incapacity to overcome a certain handicap in our lives.
Yet, I have found too often, my limitations aren’t due to someone or something around me, but rather it’s from pursuit of something I should have never been chasing in the first place.
When we start chasing God stuff rather than me stuff, we will find success will come on a whole new level.
Ask Him what tables He would flip in your life, and let Him start cleaning house.
It’s a whole better place when He’s in charge and He comes to abide.
Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ ”
Matthew 21:12-13

Especially enjoyed your post today, even though it might well have been written to me.
I’ve often wondered why it’s so hard to pray like King David in Psalm 139, where he says:
“Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!
And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting!”
It takes courage to ask our LORD to identify grievous ways. But why? If a way I am entangled in grieves the KING, wouldn’t I want to change?
It’s just hard!
But the rewards are great. His love is boundless, His grace a comfort. Spirit is a gentleman Who leads me toward in His Way.
Keep writing, Mia.
Lord Bless, Keep, Shine in and through you and yours. . .

Thank you for your encouraging words. And yes. It is so very hard because the Scripture is true: the flesh wars against the Spirit, and the Spirit wars against the flesh. The one that wins is the one we “feed” the most. I wish it was easier than that, but the reward will definitely be worth the fight! So, fight this fight of faith and carry on to the win! 😉🏅 Blessings to you and yours!
