I think I let my daily life get in the way but can't seem to find a way out. Work, Work, home, kids, cleaning, cooking, shopping ...... Where in my day does God fit?

Job 22
"Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you" v21. Pretty profound statement in my eyes. This took me back to last summer and the mission trip we went on. Our speaker talked about giving up things we were struggling with to God to let him deal with them. Initially when I did this it was really easy, more so than I ever expected. However the further away I am from that time the harder it becomes. There are things in my life I want to give to God but find too hard to do. Sometimes it is really easy but sometimes it feels too much like work.

God doesn't fit into our schedules. We need to fit into God's purposes. Until last week, I thought Jesus came so we could go to heaven. Now, especially after last night, I firmly believe that Jesus came so that heaven could come into us and our lives. Jesus wants everything to be different in terms of our focus. I don't know how many more years I have left on the planet, but until my dying breath, I will be working alongside God to build up HIS kingdom and not my own. It will be an incredible amount of work, but well worth all the blood, sweat, and tears. Please join me.
