New

-This was an old post from December 21st.. That I didn't finish or post..Figured I would post it.

[Many a times I've tried posting..and I get half way through and I pitch the whole thing.. Like ehhh...no good. Tonight I reeaaaallly felt like writing/typing whatever.
I dreaded today's work day, as I do all work days..But to wake up and pray first thing in the morning for the day, just makes all the "dreading" fade away. I knew today that I was gonna be sitting, for the majority of the day..And so that is why I brought a book, a very great book indeed. I spent most of my so-called work day, reading. Mind you, that I was warned ahead of time that I should bring a book to read because it was going to be an easy day. Anyhow, I read the Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom...and it was....great. Now I haven't finished it, but I am more the half way through the book. But I spent all day reading it.
She did such wonderful things, for the Lord. His strength was perfected ,in every way, in her weakness.. While I was reading one thing that she said I had to write it down..
"Lord Jesus, I offer myself to Your people. In anyway. Any place. Any time." ]

-So I wanted to write something about the New Year..and I'm not sure what to expect in the New Year..I didn't expect a lot of things to happen last year, so I guess anything goes.. But like Corrie ten Boom, I want to give everything to my Lord Jesus.. Everything. and give Him to everyone.

James

It's like I've read the book of James many times..but every time I read through it the Lord shows me something new. Like James 1:22
"Do not merely listen to the word.....Do what it says."
Umm..HELLO! Wow..don't just listen to it and acknowledge it..Do what it says.. It's a command..Not a statement. Recently in my life I've just been acknowledging it and not doing what it says. Going back to Philippians 4:6-7...Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication let all requests be known to God and the peace that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds.
Once again..Reading that verse and being able to let everything be given to God..and that peace that surpasses ALL understanding will guard my heart and mind...Man, it blows my mind..The Word tells me that I can't worry and be anxious, I've got to give it to Him. Give it ALL to Him...not just 85% on or 99.9%..100% giving it all to Him.
Now I'm just sorting stuff out in my head and I'm rambling and repeating myself.
But the Lord is amazing. Merciful and gracious, loving and just.
So really thats what God has put on my heart..To not worry and to keep my eyes fixed on him (Heb 12:2)....Soo.. that's that.
Reading it and doing it.
