Seeking Wisdom I'm finally past Psalms, and unto the book of wisdom - Proverbs. I took the longest time to go thru the book of Psalms, because I haven't been faithful with my quiet time.
I blame this unfaithfulness on a multitude of things - my late coming homes because of bible studies/cg/service/ministry. And of course the occasional outing on a cool night out with lovely friends (for eg, the nice bloggies). I felt tired, drained, and very unbalanced. Complete with the hurdles to cross in work, I was almost ready to sink right in.
Many people I spoke to this week really enlightened me. Of course with God's own talking to me via Proverbs, the service and in my QT, I gained some understanding that probably won't go down well with many of the church leaders.
God desires obedience, more so than sacrifice. Burning you out is what God want to do the least. Whatever you do should be translated from God's greatest commandments - loving Him, and loving people.
What good is a Christian is he stays within the 4 walls of the church 24/7? So what if he's salty and bright? The world outside will still remain oblivious to his existence.
How do you know you're doing what God wants you to do?
To feel the joy of the Lord in all that you're doing. To be able to glorify His name in all your works. To be in a continual fellowship and gratitude with Him.It's really as simple as that.
