Exodus 4:11-12
“The Lord said to him, ‘Who placed a mouth on humans? Who makes a person mute or deaf, seeing or blind? Is it not I the Lord? Now go! I will help you speak and I will teach you what to say.”
Its not your ability, but your availability that determines how God will use you. Something I personally still struggle with. Some points not knowing what the heck I am doing and what God is doing in my life, and other times just so in awe of seeing Him work in my everyday life. I find myself in fear and questioning what God has laid before me; yet He created the moon and the stars and knows the number of hairs on my head and calls me by name. Still I find myself sitting in questioning the One who created the universe by a vapor of His breath. Just like Moses here I question God and what He has called me to do. I wonder if it’s the right thing or if its just me trying to do it in my own strength or me trying to be my own god. I struggle with the thinking life, the “what if’s” of this world. I never want to do anything wrong but then I bring myself in my own strength to the point of not caring anymore about anything. It amazes me, how much I know this of myself but yet I still do it and I still get to that place, God is teaching me the power of His love and grace and that has been the season since the beginning of this year and as challenging and hard some points have been, I am still being blessed with His loving kindness every day. In this verse it says “Now go! I will help you speak and I will teach you what to say.” God is not only telling Moses to go out and do the work He has in store for him, but the same goes for every believer. God will give you the resources and ability to do the work He has called you to do. That’s the God we serve!

IBS- Matthew 8: 9-10 “For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go’, and he goes; and to another, ‘Come’, and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this’, and he does it. When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!” I have read this chapter and have heard it said out loud in church for many years but never really looked to it in depth. For the first time I saw it in the shoes of the centurion- which thanks to Talia I know what that is. I started getting overwhelmed just reading these two verses but then started from verse 5-13. This mans pride stood out to me, I feel as though this man is luke warm with God. Where he knows of Him and all of Gods good works but also is wanting to be a “god” in the life of others. What’s hard for this man is he doesn’t want to let go of what he knows and go into something so unknown and trust someone again. ...

IBS- 1 John 4:4 “ You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” I am His and He is mine. I have to remind myself that God is infinitely stronger than Satan. And in the end God will win- He always does. The Lord is always ready. When times come around and I fall short, He is there, He is never not going to be there, ready and armed for anything. Knowing how far and how deep God will really go is never a question. Many times, I fail, still His mercy remains. It confirms it right here that we (His children) are “from God” comforting right? It is to me for sure. Its exciting! The one that lives in me is the One who concord death. When I stop and really think about this verse and all that it means to me, it takes me back to the feet of Jesus, to the place where I have to come to a place of total brokenness to receive all that He has for me. God has overcome it all, yet I question Him in how He is go...

LUKE 21:19 “ By your patience posses your souls.” The first thing God impressed on my heart was James 1:4 “Let patience have its perfect work.” Patience is something I personally struggle with greatly; you guys are learning more and more about me- how I have major pride issues- walls higher than I ever wanted- and a great lack of patience. But in all of this I have God- God working in me constantly- God opening my eyes to so many new things especially in His word- and God breaking down walls in areas I didn’t even know were built up so high. Before even reading or even knowing what our IBS was God had already opened my eyes to working in me patience and Luke 21:19 was one of the verses He opened my eyes too that I have never seen or read and understood before. Thinking about this verse and then asking God to really help me understand it was interesting this time- interesting but good. I was very overwhelmed with people back in NY and just the things happening around me on a daily...
