Jumpin' the Gun
Blue v41-46 Ch 1 Deuv41-42 got a word
didn't obey word
disobedience got exposed as sin
repented but tried to obey word in own strength,
thinking it was that easy
God sent word not to do it like that, it doesn't work
failed to listen
rebelled against this word too
arrogance now down in the roots
overcome by situation instead of being the overcomer
crying about being defeated
it's God's turn not to listen
resulted in staying in the same place w/no growth, joy, victory
Yipee-Ki-Ya
Isn't that Exciting
Father spoke the directions to take because of wanting to bless and expecting to be obeyed His Way so it would feel like a blessing. Every time it's done the way i want to do it by jumping the gun & seemingly getting ahead, it always pushes me back toward the starting point having lost time and progress. Then by ending up in some prayer meeting begging for ministry help, expecting God to fix my problem, is only another way of saying that i didn't care about treating Him like a jerk since it was so easy to deny Him His place of Leadership when He did speak previously to me and i rejected His intelligent counsel and real Friendship that said He 'was' providing for me if only i had given Him His place as LORD right then. It's not that He can't forgive and fix it but how rude. Why always expect Him to be willing to be treated as if He doesn't have a soft side. It hurts when He gives a word to help but gets disobedience thrown back in His Face. It seems like the appropriate thing to do would be to say sorry for this instead of add insult to injury by asking Him to do more for me than He's already done. Maybe my real sin is that i don't treat Him like a Friend.
Father, i'm sorry, please forgive me for treating You like a jerk. You really are the Best Friend and Perfect Person. I'm sorry for taking advantage of You and belittling You with my actions and responses toward what You do for me. Please let me love on You and respect You, treat You important, like how i treat people here. Thank You for loving on me still. You have very deep Character and i appreciate that You share like You do. Have a nice day. I love You.
