Do You?

He was the second of two. A twin. He came out grasping the heel of his brother.

His mother learned of the blessing he would receive before he was even born. 

Rather than waiting on God's timing she chose to take things into her own hands, thus setting the example for him to follow, and he did just that.

He lived up to his name "He deceives".

As a young man his first deception came when he stole his brothers birthright. Then later on stealing his blessing and deceiving his very own father.

We too can be guilty of these very things.

We can deceive others by pretending to be followers of Christ, yet never live as one. Deception can come in the form of appearance, money, a "friend", authority figure, even self. 

We can also ignore God's will and timing by acting to quickly. We are known for our impulsive behavior. There is a reason God does not tell us our futures, could you imagine?

Have you deceived others, your family, your children, your friends. Have you pretended to be someone your not? 

Maybe like Jacob you have deceived others to gain more for yourself. 

What about ignoring God's timing and stepping outside of His will? 

Whether it be a job, a relationship, family, etc, trust God and His timing for your life.

Most importantly, as a parent, make sure you are not deceiving your children.

Either be all in for Christ or not. You will do more damage and confuse them more by living one part in the world and the other part as a Christian.

To read more about Jacob head on over to Genesis 25-50! 

Living Spirit Filled

“So be careful how you live, not as fools but as those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity for doing good in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but try to understand what the Lord wants you to do. Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, let the Holy Spirit fill and control you.” Ephesians 5:15-18

I just don’t want to talk God’s Word yet never live it out. I don’t want to spend time studying, only to walk away forgetting what I have studied.

I don’t want to live one way around certain people than another around others.

I don’t want to be greedy, ungrateful, selfish, angry, bitter, jealous, hurtful, ugly, sinful, or spew meanness and gossip from my mouth.

I don’t want to be like the world, or a spectator in Church. I don’t want to be concerned only about myself or do things that please only me.

I don’t want to be grumpy or rude, lazy or careless.

I don’t want to be an average mommy or a mommy who dumps her kids off at Church for others to teach them the Word of God.

I want to be joyful, grateful, humble, loving, kind, patient, merciful, forgiving, and thankful, a hard worker, a peace maker, an encourager, a servant, an example, and a teacher.

I want to be a woman who is filled with grace, and whose complete identity is found in Christ. I want to be confident, faithful, trustworthy, and committed. I want to lead by example and show my children what a life lived for Christ is all about.

I want to live in such a way that people see only Christ and not me.

I know this is all a work in progress, but I am thankful to be marked as God’s child by the Holy Spirit who is working in me and helping me become the woman Christ designed me to be.

Jesus thank You for the great Counselor who is living and working within me!  Help me to become all You have designed me to be. Amen
