In the world today, many Christians and non-Christians, make the comparison of the Blessings of God with care free times. I personally have to deal with the thought that if God blesses me then everything is a bright, cloud free day. Now, we all know we go through seasons. Winter is a season where there is death and little life, maybe even a hibernation period. Then you have Spring, where the things that were once dead have come back to life. Spring can often be associated with God’s Blessings. Right now it is hard for me to determine what season I am in.
Last night I laid on the floor and was talking with my wife. In my body and in my spirit I just didn’t feel right. She asked me what was wrong and this was my reply. During the transition time of moving, God used awesome and faithful people to bless us and keep us. Sometimes it is hard for me to receive a blessing even when I know it was from God. Here is the thing, God will bless you so much, that it will bring you to a place of repentance. This was where I am at. I felt so unworthy and unfaithful. How could God do so much for me and in turn, me do so little for Him. It is a humble place of learning and growth. I know God is taking me to a place where my spiritual maturity and faith need to be at an all time high. I know these times are necessary. So, I embrace the times of feeling unworthy, because I am. But it is these times where we realize without God we are nothing. So, in my season of repentance, I search the areas of my life where I need to “step up my game”, so I can be the Man of God, to the fullest, God has called me to be.
God’s Servant,
