Topple that Giant
Been doing a bit or reading, reflecting and seeking this past few days, always nice to have a bit of time off to do that, having kids seems to have made that a little harder to fit into the schedule (stop making excuses Phil).
I’ve been Reading a Tozer book, and a little bit caught something in me, He was talking about that God shaped hole in our lives and how we sometimes let other things be in that 1st place in our life, he then brought out the point that sometimes we wonder why good things that we have, own or belong to etc fall to pieces, So often we pray and surrender to God without realising the power in the words we speak to God, and all of a sudden we blame God for destroying things that meant a lot to us, but the fact is if we pray for God to come into the highest place of priority in our lives then the things that are their at present are going to topple, fall down, fade away or be destroyed.
I guess the two points I got from this were,
1.What things need toppled in my life? and is someone / something preventing God from being first in my life?
2.Be very careful with what I pray and how I pray! Prayer is more powerful than any nuclear weapon, it can have consequences that are humanly impossible to fix or turn around – Handle with great care!
Unfortunately I’m still trying to get closer to God as I’m not were I want to be, But then if I was were I want to be then I wouldn’t be here – What I mean by that is I personally think it won’t be possible to be as close to God as I would want until Heaven dawns for me. But that doesn’t stop me from trying harder and desiring more of God.
If I’m going to spend an eternity with God I want to get to know him before I arrive, no point in spending forever with someone you don’t know now, is there?
