Learning from the Teacher

I realized that I have not written anything on the internet for a while. I can make excuses for why this is, why I have failed to share the insight God has been giving me over the past few months, but honestly, I’m just lazy. Write something that you will be able to see and hopefully benefit from? Form coherent sentences? Too much work. That mindset is dumb and God is changing that as I sit here and type.

God has been teaching me a lot lately. God has been constantly been moving in my life, allowing sorrows, giving me hope, encouraging me, standing beside me even when I do not feel Him. He has shown me that I am an ignorant person. That I compartmentalize my faith. That I am fake and put on a mask of strength. He is working on getting me past my fear of leadership. He is showing me that trust is not a bad thing when put in people He has chosen for me. He constantly reminds me that all glory belongs to Him. He holds me close and reminds me that He loves me when the world rejects me. He humbles me when I boast in anything but Him. He gives me divine wisdom in foolish world and brings down His mercy and grace when I am not worthy of anything. He has revealed to me that I am a pray-er and that He has blessed me with the ability to remain in constant fellowship with Him. God has told me that it is okay to worship differently, to commune with the Holy Spirit, and to call down His blessings upon His children.

Yeah, He’s been a busy God. And this is just in my life. I could go on a tangent about all of the points in the above paragraph and have hundreds of pages that would not do God, His works and His ways the justice they deserve.

Yesterday during church I was paging through the Psalms. I always find the most amazing passages when I’m sitting in the presence of God at His Home.

Psalm 71:14-23
But as for me, i will always have hope; i will praise You more and more.
My mouth will tell of Your righteousness, of Your salvation all day long, though i know not its measure.
i will come and proclaim Your mighty acts, O Sovreign Lord, i will proclaim Your righteousness, Yours alone.
Since my youth, O God, You have taught me, and to this day i declare Your marvelous deeds.
Even when i am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, till i declare Your power to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come.
Your righteousness reaches to the skies, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You?
Though You have made me see troubles, many and bitter, You will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth You will again bring me up.
You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.
i will praise You with the harp, for Your faithfulness, O my God; i will sing praise to You with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
My lips will shout for joy when i sing praise to You– i, whom You have redeeemed.
