>Good morning ladies. I want to start this morning >looking at Exodus 20:1&2. >I do not know if we will get past these two verses, >but let's jump in and see what the FATHER has for us >today. >And GOD spoke all these WORDS: "I am the LORD your >GOD, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of >slavery. >I have to say this morning that GOD spoke volumes to >my heart from these verses. HE is really dealing me >about some things and I have spent my time this >morning asking HIM to show me what HE wants from my >life TODAY. I often find that I want HIM to show me >what HE wants to do with me tomorrow and the next day. > "GOD, what are we going to be doing down the road." >This morning HE has said to my heart, "Vicky, stop and >sit a while with ME. Let's take a look at you heart >NOW. Let's stop worrying about what I might use you >for tomorrow, let's look at what I want to do TODAY." >Yesterday I found myself very angry. Probably more >angry than I have been in a very long time. I was >angry over the fact that I felt like my character and >my motives were being questioned. It is painful to be >(or feel like you are being) wrongly accused of >something. However, during the process of my anger, >and my talking through it with a friend, the FATHER >made it clear to me that the issue was not about me. >What was at stake here was not about me or my >abilities, it was about what HE wanted me to learn >through this situation. It was about the fact that HE >wanted to show me something in my heart. The real >question was would I be willing to put down my pride, >my perceived rights, and would I allow the FATHER to >take the scalpel of HIS WORD and cut out of my heart >an area of ugly pride. This is a place that GOD has >brought me to quite a bit lately. Again this morning >HE has asked me, "Vick, is it about you (your agenda, >your desires, your perceived rights) OR IS IT ABOUT >ME." >Ladies, with all of my heart I don't ever want it to >be about VICKY. You see, as I said yesterday, I well >remember Egypt. With all of my heart I want it to be >about HIM and about bringing HIM GLORY. Let's look >again at Exodus 20:1-2: And GOD spoke all these >WORDS: "I am the LORD your GOD, who brought you out of >Egypt, out of the land of slavery." >"Vick, you don't have to remain a slave to your pride. > I AM GOD, I BROUGHT YOU TO MYSELF AND SET YOU FREE >FROM THAT SIN." >Galatians 5:1 tells us the following: It is for >freedom that CHRIST has set us free. Stand firm, >then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a >yoke of slavery. >The thing that we allow ourselves to be yoked up with >is the thing that will occupy our attention. If we >yoke ourselves with CHRIST as he invites us to in >Matthew 11:28-30, then our hearts will be occupied by >CHRIST, but if allow myself to be yoked up to an >attitude of pride then I will be in bondage to that >pride. > >O FATHER, may I lay down my own agenda and gladly yoke >myself to JESUS. May I come and sit and learn how to >walk with YOU and rest in you. I am reminded again >this morning that the rest that YOU offer is the >direct opposite of the anger I often find myself >feeling. FATHER crush my heart if that is what it >takes to eradicate this attitude of pride in my heart. > Make me the woman that YOU created me to be. Fill me >with more of YOU and spill over out of my life onto >those around me. LORD JESUS, take your WORD this >morning and apply it to our hearts. May we come >always more and more hungry to hear from YOU. Teach >us to walk with YOU. Hold us ever closer to YOUR >HEART. FATHER, may we be willing to do whatever it >takes to saturate our hearts and minds with YOUR WORD. > May I see myself as YOU see me. Give me eyes to see >in my heart the things that YOU see. Search me, O >GOD, and know my heart; try me and know my anxious >thoughts and see if there is any wicked way in me. O >GOD make me the woman that YOU desire for me to be. I >love you. Thank you for YOUR WORD. Thank you for >convicting my heart of sin. Continue to bring me >always to the WATER and refresh me with more of who >YOU are. >It is in YOUR MATCHLESS NAME that I pray, JESUS...AMEN! > >Ladies, have a wonderful weekend. I will be out of >town next week so I will most likely not be posting. >Have a wonderful week and seek the face of the >FATHER...ask HIM to show you what ONLY HE CAN. Ask >HIM to fill your heart with a hunger and a desire for >HIM. > >ONLY and ALWAYS Because of JESUS- >Vicky >Gal. 5:1
