Breakthrough

I was so amazed at the revelations on my way into work, that I forgot to blog this morning. I have been listening to a series by Chip Ingram on Breakthrough. It has been a constant slap to the forehead and it has been very good.

I was struggling to see the truth about so much, but maybe it isn't about the truth that I need to see, but about that I am not in control, that I was looking and searching for the answers, but yet they have been staring right at me. The answer is not in others, it isn't in church, it is in a deeper personal relationship with God. It is more of Him, less of me. It is more of Him and my problems become less and less, because I am no longer focusing on the problems at hand, but focusing on God's hands.

We have heard many stories about the idols in the bible and all the false gods, but we say oh that is from the old days. We don't have idles now, but the problem is the littlest things could be a stumbling blocks, things that you think have no harm could be causing our focus to be lost. I didn't see that and the more I reflect on me I realize how many things I need to change. I need to confess them, surrender them and let God deal with them.

It is not my way, but Gods way. We want connection with people, but maybe the connection we should search out first and foremost is the connection with God. When we are able to put God first in all we do, then the connection with people will come. It is Jesus, others and then myself (you). That is pure Joy. I know these are words on a page and maybe it is time to get my life back to where God wants me to be.

I fell short and it is no excuse to bring others down with me. It is time to stand, it is time for a breakthrough and the breakthrough starts with choices, with praying big and believing in what I am praying for. It is an amazing walk, but scary.
