I did my best to stay off of social media this past Wednesday (aka National Sibling Day). I had marked it in my calendar as a day to avoid and to stay away from social media. Well if ya'll haven't noticed lately Facebook doesn't behave and it will show you days old posts at random times. Needless to say, I've still had to see several Sibling Day posts. It became a topic of conversation with God this week and He was pretty blunt, He said so? I was like so what? Then it hit me.....The posts didn't cause the feeling emotional mess that they did last year. The dread of not getting on social media because of seeing them was worse than actually seeing them. That was what He was trying to get me to see with His so question. That's when I realized and I almost had me a shouting fit....(if I hadn't fallen flat on my hiney the day before and am still sore I may have). It was then I realized the page finally turned, the season had shifted....the mountain I had been circling was in my rearview mirror and forward-focused I was again. You see I think we can find ourselves circling a mountain and feel like we have gone backwards....but that's not always the case. Sometimes the mountain we find ourselves circling is a new mountain that just looks the same. Needless to say, mountains aren't meant to be circled when there is a promised land to be possessed. Now before you start thinking the promised land means easy road.....umm NO....promised land means walking in that place God's called you to....it means finally taking that step, seeing the Jordan part, and knowing that you can have everything that He said was yours to have. Are you starting to see what I'm getting it? PC's been preaching a message at Highlands called What's Next and it's been the catalyst I needed to clean the rest of the junk off of these almost 40-year-old eyes to see what God's doing right now. I have a lot of chapters in my story from things that God has done in the past and how He has moved in ways only He could....but there is an expectancy in my Spirit for what He's doing right now. Greater things are still to come in this Next season....
I don't know where you are at today, but you do and so does God. This is the season of the amazing...of pages being turned, of light being shone on the dark places, of those things that seemed to be bound up being loosed in Jesus name. Scripture says we have not because we ask not...what's God had ready and waiting for you to ask Him for? If we could truly grasp all that He has for us...This week take some time to let Him pour in as only He can and remind you of what His vision is for you. It's not about what you can see for yourself because we look through eyes of flesh, but if we can look through our spiritual eyes.....game changed.
