So I like to talk and for me Blogging is a form of talking. I really like to blog about the things that I hear in church (as most of you have probably noticed) This week I went to Christ Church at Mason, like I said last week I will probably rotate between this church and my brothers. Both just offer such a great message so I figure why not right.
So I started to blog earlier about church yesterday and I was at a loss of words. Yesteday during the service I had so much that I could have written about, but because of a busy scheudle I never got around to it (and the internet was down, so I figured I wait til today.) Well When I started to write I just couldn't put what I wanted to say into words and then I got an email from a friend and it triggered what I was thinking about. The email was about Psalm 55:22. It had a story that went with it, but here is the verse. Psalms 55:22 'Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee. He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.'
This could have been one of the verses used yesterday and if not it fits. Yesterday the service was speaking about how people get frustrated and angry and have thoughts and feelings and they keep them inside, but why do that when you can cast them to God. He is there for us to vent to. If we give him our problems he will carry them for us, he will help us get thru them and help us deal with him. We may not actually see the results right away, but in time the issue gets resolved and if your a believer you know it was resolved because you put faith in God.
There are so many sides to God and what he can and will do for us. We have to be patient, look how patient he is with us. It sort of goes back to what I was talking about last week I think.
I am a true venter, a lot of you know that :-) I pretty much vent to anyone who will listen and believe me that includes God. I get frustrated and I have to go somewhere with it. I am not very good at keeping things bottled up. When I am hurt, upset, happy, overjoyed, everyone knows about it.
God doesn't expect us to carry all of our own baggage, he wants us to confide in him with everything. He wants to carry it for us and help us get thru the tough times and even when it doesn't seem like he is there he is. It could be as complex as a losing someone in your family or something as simple as having a bad day. It doesn't matter how big or small our issues are God is there for us to help bring peace into our lives.
God expects a lot from us and he expects us to expect a lot from him. He is always going to forgive us and be there for us, but we have to let him. If we want peace in our lives we need God in our lives it's that simple. We may not see results right this second, but it's coming. I believe I say it a lot, but the good things in life are worth waiting for and everything happens for a reason. So if your simply frustrated with the bad driver on the road or your angry because you love has left for some reason give the feelings to God, he doesn't expect us to do it alone. When you feel all the pressure give it to God, he wants to be there for us, we have to left him. It's a give and take relationship and God does both so he expects the same from us... at least that's how I look at it.
