JOY

Posted by William Wall on Monday, February 23, 2009

I am a follower of Christ. I have been from a very young age. I have loved Him, given my life in service to Him, taught my family about Him, tried to reach others for Him… and yet now I realize that I have spent a great deal of my life doing so in my own strength and self-sufficiency. I knew He was real, so I formulated an action plan and executed it, often doing so without bowing my life, my thoughts, and my actions before His throne. My works were not wrong, and they were approached from a motive of love, and yet I continually found myself burned out and exhausted, doing everything I could to serve and yet still feeling like I could never be of much use. Too busy to rejoice and understand the love of the God I was serving. But in His incredible grace and mercy He has opened my eyes to seeing that He has truly called us to be clay – and He is the wonderful potter who shapes us to the perfect form for His use! Now I understand that He has designed us each to be unique and different. His love for us is beyond our understanding. His plans for us are far reaching and equal a “hope and a future! (Jeremiah 29:11)” His promises begin with His asking us to seek Him and respond accordingly – the rewards are too wonderful to express. I want more of Him!!! He has revolutionized my life. His perfect and complete love for me has taken away the fear that I have battled much of my life even as I have walked through difficult circumstances. His word has reached so deeply into my daily life that I have learned that joy and peace are NOT dependent upon our circumstances, but upon our God! I have experienced the thrill of finally worshipping Him as my King on my knees and learning to bow my life in reverence to Him, and experiencing answer to prayer as He has opened the floodgates that I simply had not asked for before! I have learned to trust that while we may think we know what is best and should pursue that, we can ultimately and completely trust in whatever God ultimately deems is best. I have watched Him work in the lives of my children as we together incorporate worship in every aspect of our lives and our focus has truly and naturally become more and more on Christ. I have watched this worship provide the security and purpose that I have prayed for in my children’s lives. One of the most exciting things I have learned is that all of this is NOT about me! That’s the beauty of it all! Such joy and strength IS unattainable for me in my weakness and humanity, and therefore I get to see HIM in my life! WOW. Finally over the last few months as the Lord has introduced and taught the concept of The 5.2 Project to us I have been OVERJOYED in my explanation of it to see the eyes of others light up and their hearts spill over as they express the way that God has been teaching them the same things at the same time! I KNOW that the Lord is doing something great, and I know that I want to see more of Him! I am humbled, amazed, and thrilled that He has continued to reveal more of Himself… and I want more of Him!

Know. Live. Share.

NOTE:

How do we know Him? By reading the Bible. Because it is the Word of God.

This website is not for us to be… or to assume the word of God. Knowing God requires seeking Him through His word. Is has already been established and is complete.

Jesus said… the work is to believe. To act on what He says. To read with prayer. To read while bringing your life into obedience to what you are reading.

As people created by God, we cannot expect more of God until we are striving to live our lives as He has already shown us… and we cannot do that without going into His word. DAILY – and DOING something about it. That is why we must go back to our foundation – to God – through His word - and on our knees – and Know what we know, then live what we know, and share what we know. Do NOT share more than you know. This site is exclusively for a back to the basics study and acknowledgement of our Great God.

Then our part… our responsibility… and our privilege is to share what we know and to thank Him for it.

Praise the Lord!

In a hurry? Drop your thanks, praise, or what you KNOW in the box below. One line… or a paragraph… whatever you’d like – and as often as you’d like. We'll post it very quickly. Please don’t miss this opportunity to share what you know about God!
