Yeah it’s only January and I’m passion judgement on ya, right? 
Here’s the deal – it was a rough year leat year and I am not the only one that saw a lot of changes, redirection and well, honestly loss of income. The plug got pulled on some projects – cutbacks whatever.
But two things can happen in those times. you get bitter , angry and fall back orrrrr you get bitter angry, fall back for just a few days and you re-direct your anger appropriately to your passion. You find out what is important and you build yourself up in God and go for it once again with a “steely” resolve. Yeah Disappointments ‘r me last’ year but I decided to get intimate again with God.
Sure I pray and I read but there is a difference when your hungry and honestly desperate to hear from DAD. I found out some things and I am still learning. What did I find out?
None of your bus…just kidding. Get your attention? it’s that shock factor thing. Abruptness can be good.
I found out again God is my source..simple stuff , right? But we don’t even realize what our trust and security rests in until it’s yanked away. little by little I got attached to them and stopped seeing God as Jehovah -Jireh. Man was. As I got closer I stopped praying that God would return those very projects to me again and began to just say, God you know the needs, the wants..you supply as I follow you.
People tend to miss what led up to Abraham receiving the ram. There were many mountains – he had to in the right spot at the right time for the ram to show up. My point? Continual Provision from Jehovah – Jireh comes when you are in step with Him. When your steps are ordered, right? You see that’s part of the name of Jehovah- Jireh…”in the place where He provides”. That’s where we get it wrong a lot. WE make out own choices and miss that spot in the center of His will. That place He provides and blesses! Yeah i know He does it anyhow sometimes because He loves us…but make no mistake…there is a definite “sweet spot? in His will for us…a perfect place. And in that place..God sends a ram of provision to us.
I want to be in that place….abide there..not vacation there once in a while! How about you this year? Hungry to find that spot?
What else did I find out? I came back home..to my passion He put there. Writing for myself…for Kickrick..to write what He gives me in the special way He gifted me. I got away from that and I rediscovered that. Even though some of the other was fun and profitable..even right for a season…I know what I have to do. My passion is writing for kids and to equip teachers and leaders to do that in a unique personal way. To partner and co-write with God and yeah sometimes simply give it away where He tells me..to bless others.
Yep I was passion judgement on myself
We all need a little introspection regularly…to see what our passion is and re-prioritize and realign. Blessings await us - in that spot God – Jehovah Jireh will show Himself to you
