Where Do I Look?

First things first: I wanted to make a statement of faith.

. . . . 

That was easy.

Ok, no, really. I have an amazing God who, even though we may not see it or understand, has a perfect will and is faithful to each of His children. The weird thing is I am one of those children. Why? I don’t know. But somewhere in history God wrote me down in His book as His, and is ready to carry out a portion of His plan through me. (Now here comes the wonderful segue:) And that’s what this blog is about.  You’ll notice the website is psalm1611andephesians32021.blogspot.com. Translated that’s Psalm 16:11 and Ephesians3:20-21. I know, I know, that’s a really long website, but I chose those passages because they have been true in my life as of late.

Psalm 16:11 says

                “You make known to me

             The path of life;

         In Your presence there is fullness of

            Joy;

         In Your right hand there

  Are pleasures forevermore.”

So basically, this year especially, I’ve had to learn to keep my focus on Christ, my God and my Savior. Without Him I have nowhere to go, no reason for joy, and I will never be content. But with Him I have a purpose, I will be filled with joy, and more than satisfied. By the way, I’m still working on this. Just ask my family. However it goes beyond me.

Ephesians 3:20-21 is as follows:

“Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according the power that works within us, to HIM be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.”

So when I focus on Him, not only is my heart contented, but He carries out His plan that is far, FAR bigger than I could ever imagine! But wait there’s more! (Sorry, couldn’t resist =P.) I, in my humility, must see, and will see that He is to receive all honor and glory – FOREVER! So it’s an awesome thought that I, as does every believer, have the power of Christ (the one who rose from the dead) in me that I could do the unthinkable all for the glory of the One who loved me enough to die for me. Praise the Lord!

Consequently, thou wilt understand my tale in addition to my present method of belief. (Ok, so I’ve been reading Shakespeare, and, to be honest, I don’t know if that’s even good grammar. Oh well.)

So I hope that was an encouragement to you. I promise not all of my posts will be this preachy. Oh, and I have a disclaimer: I’ve never been one to journal much, but I hope I can keep this up so that you all know what’s going on, where I am, and remember to pray for me no matter where I end up. Thanks, Christina.
