God Provides

I am learning that as long as we are doing what God has directed, He provides. God gave us another reminder of this last week. Ray called me to let me know that God had prompted someone to bless us. God provided us with and extra $500. This was such a blessing and help us to pay the bill that were due this week. I am so thankful for God's promise to take care of His children. I am learning that all we have to worry about is developing our relationship with Him and He will take care of the rest. Not an easy task but better than worrying about my problems.

God, Truth, and the True Worshiper

The other night I was crying out to God because I have been struggling with a desire to be faithful everyday and yet not being faithful. As I cried out for help, guidance, and understanding God gave be several verses about Himself, truth, and the true worshiper. I desire to be a true worshiper.

John 3:33 "He who has received His (Jesus') testimony has set his seal to this, that God is true."

John 4:23 "But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshiper will worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers."

John 3:21 "But he who practices truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought by God."

John 5:19 "Truly, Truly, I say to you, the Son of Man can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner."

This are the things that I have learned from these scriptures:
-When we receive Jesus' testimony as truth we acknowledge that God is true.
- In order to show this we need to be worshiping God in spirit and in truth. If we are claim to be a Christian and are not living life to be pleasing to God, then how can we say we are true worshipers.
-When we practice truth, Jesus allows our deeds to be manifested to all. This is so that the world can see that our deeds are from God.
-The way to practice truth as a true worshiper of God is to daily seek God's will in my life. If we are doing this we are practicing what Jesus practiced in John 5:19, doing nothing unless He first sees the Father doing it.

I can say that I have a long way to go in achieving the status of a true worshiper. I hope that by the time I face my Father in heaven I can say that I have attained this status. Until then I will be getting on my knees and seeking the Father's will in my life. This will be a struggle because there are days that I just don't want to know what God's will is for me. There are other days that I allow worldly things to come before God. I am not perfect, but I am a child of God and He is faithful and will to teach me.

I thank You, Lord because even if I am not always faithful, You are.

The Internet

I was going to post on my blog a week ago but our internet was not working fast enough to download my page. Can you believe? I do plan on posting something that God has been working in my heart but have to go to church soon. I will have to wait until tonight. Anyway, even though the internet here is still not up to speed, I can post now, so hopefully....

I just praise God that the internet is not the end all to everything.
