You Never Let Go

Worship songs hold a special place in my heart because often times they give me a voice when words cannot express my heart's desires. They also serve as good reminders of God's truths and promises. What stuns me the most, however, is the body of Christ unified in worship. Everyone takes comfort in the words and they offer their voices up to God as an expression of their gratitude and their awe of Him.

It's powerful. And it moves me every time. It makes me evaluate my relationship with God.

He never lets go. He pursues me. Even when I don't pursue Him. He is determined to bring me back to Him, and that is how great His love is. Why do I let sin tell me otherwise? Yes, my sin is offensive to His Holiness, but He sent His Son to die so I can have a relationship with Him. To take advantage of something like that is horrible. I should be living in a holy manner, submitting myself to God and resisting the devil.

Again, I struggle with the basics of the Gospel and I find myself grasping at what little I do remember. But I'm determined to relearn it all and hold these truths close to my heart.

This Diverging Road

It's been a while since I last posted a text post on this blog. I want to write in an actual physical journal but it's harder to document stuff in that and be able to look back. This post is inspired by my previous post, in which I found myself with no direction and not knowing what I want to do or what direction life may take me. God opened doors for me. I finished some schooling for a certificate. That will be useful for me in finding a job in that field. The original job I applied for is still going on, I'm in the last stages and waiting to hear back. I'm flying to a different state to take an entrance exam. There's a lot going on, and I'm thankful to God for opening these doors, but I'm also concerned because my growth at church is just beginning. I don't know if I am ready to leave church just yet for a different area. But only God knows what is good for my spiritual growth. In this time I should focus on doing everything I can to glorify ...

Proverbs 1:1-7 | The Beginning of Knowledge

Proverbs 1:1-7 The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel: 2  To know wisdom and instruction,      to understand words of insight, 3  to receive instruction in wise dealing,      in  righteousness, justice, and equity; 4  to give prudence to  the simple,      knowledge and  discretion to the youth— 5  Let the wise hear and  increase in learning,      and the one who understands obtain guidance, 6  to understand a proverb and a saying,      the words of the wise and their  riddles. 7  The fear of the  Lord  is the beginning of knowledge;      fools despise wisdom and instruction. For my Personal Devotional this new year for as long as this format lasts, I would like to study the book of Proverbs by sections (subheaders). I feel like Proverbs will be the most stra...

Let's Pray

Something I forgot to mention in my previous post is that in an effort to cultivate a heart for other believers and to be more God-centered, I am determined to create a prayer list and pray for a fellow believer (or non-believer) each day. Of course, this list will be private. Still trying to make a calendar. But hopefully this encourages me to ask for prayer requests and follow up on them in the future.
