God is
Have you ever been reprimanded by God? Well, if you have you know that He means business. Last week I spoke at the church we have here on the base about my most recent experience of being reprimanded. I was complaining to God about some things going on in life and telling Him that I didn't want to make a decision. And when He repremanded me it actually set me free. Strange, but true. It's funny how He does that.
His repremand came from Exodus 3:11-14. This is where He speaks to Moses and says that His name is "I AM." Long sermon short: Moses is complaining and focusing on all that he is not. Asking God, "Who am I that I should go?" God replies to Moses not about who Moses is, but who He (God) is. Because it doesn't matter who we are, it only matters who God is. I love it! God gave me this conversation that I run through my head a lot and it makes sense, so I though I would share:
Me - I cant do this.
God - I AM doing this, not you.
Me - I am a nobody.
God - I AM somebody.
Me - I am not skilled.
God - I AM skilled.
Me - I do not want to.
God - I AM doing this, no matter what you do.
You are not in charge, I AM. I AM making the decisions. You are following ME. I AM the leader.
What freedom that brings us! We are not in charge. Cause God is. We do not need to make the decisions. It is not up to us because God is making the decisions.
God is the one doing it.
God is the one in control of it.
God is everything we are not!
I love Him.Labels: Spiritual

More and more I think that most of what God is doing with us is for purposes of our repentance at deeper and deeper levels as we learn more about his character and power in contrast to ourselves, our doubts, our pride, our willfulness and oh-so-subtle self-centeredness.
