Trust and Obey
It is in the quiet moments, after the children are in bed, that I hear God's voice the clearest. I am unwise to neglect time alone with the Lord during the day. I could say that I have no time to duck away from the chaos for some time alone with Him. But that is only an excuse, something to ease my mind.
If not for the nights, I would undoubtedly lose my way altogether. I have abandoned all contact with a church body. I have become a recluse since losing my husband and continually find ways to justify my behavior. I know this grieves the Holy Spirit. I feel it deep in my core. It would be so easy to walk away from His chastening, but I would not get very far!
I have discovered the secret of being content. Like Paul, I can be either well-fed or hungry, I have discovered that my life is found in Christ. As long as I adhere to God's Word, the love of Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirits direction, I am safe and secure. His love is all that matters. My life is actually a mess right now and my worries threaten to destroy me at times. I have to place these fears in God's hands, over and over and over again. Not my will but His.
And I WILL find a church!
