My word for June 10th is CONFUSED
I struggled today with what to write. Words usually jump
into my head and out onto the page, but today the word wasn’t there. I began to think about yesterday and it
hit me, yesterday I had a meltdown!
I was driving through the car wash and just broke down in tears. I have no idea where it came from, but
the flood was flowing down my face. I have many things going on right now and I
think I am just confused.
Have you ever been confused? Confused to the point where everything you do you
question? You ask, “ what are you
really suppose to be doing?” Then
after I question I will second-guess myself. “Maybe the Lord doesn’t want me to get involved in this
situation? Am I doing the right thing?” I have many times begged the Lord to please tell me
what I am to do, just give me a sign.
If the Lord would just give me that peace sign I would be glad to follow
through with whatever it is I am to do.
As I was trying to figure out what to do with this piece, I
prayed, “Lord lead me to the words.”
As I prayed I opened my Joyce Meyer Bible and turned to page 1690. On the top in bold letters were the
words, “believe and achieve”. The
first two sentences read, “So many times I have said to the Lord, “Father, what
do You want me to do? If You will
just show me what to do, I will gladly do it.” Here it was right on the page of my favorite Bible where the
Lord has led me. That always
happens and the answer to the question of confusion is this, all you have to do
is believe!
To achieve and do what the Lord wants us to do we must first
believe. We have to get rid of the
doubt that runs through our heads.
If we believe it frees us from worrying and reasoning. God has work for us to do, but faith
must come first and then our work will follow. The people in John 6:28 wanted to know what God wanted them
to do, how could they please God.
In John 6:29 God gave them an answer. “This is the work (service) that God asks of you that you
believe in the One Whom He has sent…”
When we are confused and we question what we are to do,
remember we are believers first.
If we believe then we will achieve.
Dear Lord help us not to be confused. We know that apart from You we can do
nothing. Assist us in remembering
that achieving comes from believing.
With faith in You and Your Son, the Holy Spirit will live within us
allowing us to do many good works. During our journey of 2012 never let us forget
how much You love us.
