So recently I've been having this desire to write. I use to write a lot when I was younger but since graduate school and working in "the real world" I haven't done this in a while. So, I felt like a blog would be the most appropriate. I guess we will see how this goes.....I'm kind of nervous.
God has been speaking to me lately about details. Not just details but also moments. How precious are the details and moments of our lives to our Savior! Recently I've been reading in the old testament about the Tabernacle. The details that God gave Moses in order to build the Tabernacle, his dwelling place, is just unbelievable. So now that Christ has come and now His Spirit lives within us, we are now his dwelling place. So how much more would Christ be interested in us and our details? Our hearts, minds, and bodies. They are so important to him. Every detail. Every thought, every emotion, and every action. This just blows my mind and because of this I should be as careful as Moses and the Israelites were when they built the tabernacle and gave sacrifices. If I am His dwelling place how should I prepare myself for the God of the universe? Taking every thought captive and making it obedient to Him. Not wasting one moment of my day on things that don't matter to his kingdom. If it doesn't have eternal value it doesn't matter. Not wasting one breath on matters that don't bring glory to His name. Moment by moment walking with the Spirit of God. Wow. This is so exciting but also convicting knowing the worries and sinful thoughts that go through my mind on a daily basis.
Lord, make me new, purify me, rid me of this flesh.....every detail. You are Lord of Lords, King of Kings, Elohim, El Elyon, and Abba Father! Thank you Lord for choosing me. Thank you for your mercies. Thank you.
