Revelations

"My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the LORD. "And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.”(Isaiah 55:8)

It has been so good to be back in a Bible study! Of course, I joined one on Revelation, which is overwhelming and super hard to comprehend, but I already received many revelations through the first 5 chapters. One of the things God convicted me of is my outlook on life. I have gotten into the habit of expecting hardships and obstacles. This has been a great disservice to God considering how many blessings I have received! My new goal is look at my life as an adventure. Instead of worrying, planning and trying to figure out all the details of my life, I am going to try to embrace the changes and challenges that come my way. I keep having to remind myself that it is not my job to figure everything out. God has already done it. It’s time for me to wait on and welcome God’s surprises.

Another revelation I have received is I need to surrender. Yes, if you read my blog, you might remember that I talk about surrendering all the time. Well, I have yet to master this monumental request. It is battle for me. Recently, God showed me again how surrendering results in freedom! I have been stressing and praying about a very important decision. I was hitting roadblock after roadblock. It was so frustrating! Yesterday, I held out my hands to the Lord and said, “I give you…” Today, the solution came. It wasn’t just a good solution, it was a great one. God is so good to answer my prayers. Maybe not exactly how I want them to be answered, but his ways are by far the best!
