Day 10 of 31 Days of Chasing THE Light
Searching Light
“You have circled this
mountain long enough. Now turn north.” ~Deut. 2:3
If you know or have followed
along on Sweet and Sour – you know that I am an early riser. I like to wake up while the rest of the world
sleeps and watch for the first mornings light. I always tiptoe (sometimes while
holding my breath) down the stairs because if the stairs creek any…little ears
will hear and whisper, “Mommy?” Honestly, I think they can smell me as I pass
their door. But, I do this because I need this time alone. Just me, Jesus and
my coffee. This is a priority for me and
it keeps me from searching for something else to fill me.
Do you ever feel like you
are just going around in circles looking for that something to make you feel
good? Looking for something to fill that void?
When I choose to make other things my priority – then I am worshiping
whatever I put there. AND I can put
other things over my time with Jesus.
Whether that is exercise, work, sleep or social media…it will become
something I worship.
God created us in His image
and His law is written on our hearts – and we have free will to choose to love
Him. But, if I choose other things I
will always search for things to fill the void.
Here is the truth…when Jesus
is at the center of my life then everything around me will be grounded with
Him. There will be no searching for something else to make me feel better. No searching for something else to bring me
the freedom I want. The freedom that God
is offering is right in front of me. Right there for the taking. I just have to
remove the scales from my eyes to see His truths…to grab hold of His hand and
let Him speak to me. Let His truths sink
deep into my soul.
His truth at my center
equals balance in my life. And there is freedom in that.
Today, let's go on a hunt. Let's put our eyes where the truth
is. Let's search in His word and allow Him to speak over us. Look for Him today wherever you are…look with your whole heart...Chase!
“You will seek me and
find me, when you seek me with all your heart.”
~Jeremiah 29:13 (ESV)
