This week I have been priviledged to be in the beautiful mountains of Colorado at Vallecitos Lake. I am here for a few days alone working on my talk I will be giving in October at a Ladies Retreat. As I drove here, I was anxious on how I was to organize my talk. Thru restlessness and confusion, I realized that Satan does not want God's Word to be spoken to anyone! As I struggled as to what to say or how to say it, I read this verse "Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.." 2 Cor. 10:5 I read in my devotional these words "we take every thought or project that comes to us by impulse and jump into action immediately, instead of imprisoning and disciplining ourselves to obey Christ." Wow, God really spoke to me regarding my actions - it is not what I want to say, but what does He want to say as He ministers thru me!
I just happened to have started a class on Tuesday nights at church. It is "Be Ye Transformed" by Nancy Missler. It is taken from Romans 12:1-2. Let God transform your mind and heart. All He wants us to do is obey Him, love Him,and get to know Him. He will take care of the rest! Personally, I am still healing from losing my sweet Robin. I miss her so much everyday. I know God has His reasons for taking her home, but I probably will always struggle with missing her and her sweet smile. I miss just calling her and talking to her everyday. I am practicing on giving God every thought that I have of Robin and let Him fill me with Him.
I pray your day and week will be filled with God's blessings. Just try taking every thought captive and giving it to Him, just for one day. You will be amazed how He removes all the junk from your mind!!
Blessings!
