OverLoad

Good morning family, It's so great to get the opportunity to speak with you today. I know you each and everyone know how it is in this crazy world. 

Who's leading?

Your tasks at hand or You?

Something or Someone?

Colossians 3:23-24 ESV - Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.

Matthew 11:28-30 ESV - Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

I'm late this week getting this message out to you my family, and I'm truly sorry for that. I feel I too just as each of you from time to time tend to get side-tracked and maybe even OverLoaded. I'm not gonna say I'm OverLoaded actually, but it is a reminder of not to get there. One of my favorite Quotes I have on a plaque on my desk that says "Let Go and Let God". I think it important to remember to take everything you do in and discern that if it is of God's will for you or if its just good of the world. 

Romans 12:2 ESV - Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

I know I'm in a blessed season of my life right now and everything is such a blessing right now, but that is the perfect time for the enemy to lay out sticks and stones to hinder my path. I know I must be diligent in taking every thought captive and evaluating every task I take on before doing it. I have to weigh everything in my life by the peace gauge within my Spirit. WE ALL, Yes, We all must take everything to the Lord in prayer. 

Proverbs 3:5-7 - 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. 6 Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. 7 Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.

The part of this scripture that gets me the most is vs.7a, "Don't be impressed with your own wisdom." Yea, if we allow ourselves to fall into pride of the flesh we can get lost here. This ol' flesh will mislead us. It is so important that we do Submit and Humble ourselves before the Lord in everything from stepping out of bed to buying a home to taking a new job or even buying a soda at the store. Some would say this is a bit extreme and I sure wont claim to be the one that does this either, I promise I'm preaching more to myself here than anyone. I never say nothing that I'm not continually saying to myself, but I do have an understanding from the Holy Spirit that is suggesting never demanding that we do this. He is always loving and comforting, He only wants wants what's best for us. 

I'm sorry for the lingering and preaching, I guess I just needed to hear it myself this morning, and wanted to share it with you my family. I love you all and pray your day is NOT on OverLoad as it can get if  WE allow. Keep Him in the forefront of your mind and He will stir you to continual Victory.
