If you are needing a bit more encouragement and teaching in your own walk with the Lord, take a listen to some of these sermons. I feel so convinced and convicted of my own laziness when it comes to walking with the Lord....I haven't ever enjoyed the book of Hebrews this much before - except maybe the faith passage - but I am learning so much this time as I read it over and over and listen to these messages. If you go to church with us here in Regina, you maybe be awed as I am at how much these sermons will add to what you have been living through Ecclesiastes. Following the advice in Hebrews will keep us from sounding like poor Solomon at the end of his life. So much of what I have read, even in only the first 3 chapters is like the "fleshing out" of what Solomon is warning us against in his dying book.
Occasionally I have caught Joyce Meyer's show on Vision in the morning while nursing my baby (don't throw stones at me if she is not your favorite) and what I listened to today in Hebrews is always what she talks about. YOU HAVE YOUR OWN CHOICE to make regarding your circumstances. Your stance or God's. Your hurt, or God's faithfulness, what will you cling to...and on and on! Oh I love it! Our salvation doesn't come through us and what we do alone, but how we live out the life that God has given us does only depend on us!
There have been times of 'wilderness' since we moved. Many times I have blogged about and things that I haven't. So much of this part of life is different than I expected it to be. But guess who's problem that is? MY OWN!! I need to let go of my expectations, and roll with the punches. Since when have I been an "It's not fair" kind of person?? Ugghhh...I hate when I realize that I have been being deceived! I hate it! Even when I thought I had moved past it, I really hadn't entirely! Guess what illuminates it clearly??? The Word of God - funny how that works, heh?
The other thing that helps me keep perspective it to remember that this moment, this day, this week or month or year is only a PART of my testimony. It is only a PART of the story that God is writing of my life. I often find myself thinking that way...and it helps me to think - at the end of this situation, what will my testimony be if I keep going the way I am going now? How has God helped others through similar situations....and remember Charity, he will help you too!
Anyway, I encourage you to read the Word, study it - and if you are an auditory person - listen to some teaching - MP3s are great for that! I only included the above website as a nudge in the right direction. Biblical teaching is ALWAYS the right direction. You will find a lot of sermons there, covering many of the Bible's 66 books - Hebrews is just where I am!
