I am having an amazing holiday weekend. I seem to be living for all it is worth. Without God, I am nothing. Without God I would not be. I did wake up anxious again today. For some reason today again, I had a temptation to cut my time short in the morning. I think it generally happens anytime I wake up after 5 am. It is easy to spend time with God when I wake up at 5; I have nothing else to do at that time of morning anyway. But if I wake up at 8, then half my morning is gone by the time I wake up, clean up, and spend time with God. There in lies the temptation.
I spent my morning in John 13-17 again. Then I moved on to I Corinthians. I am on a quest to see if Paul or Peter or James or John ever tells anyone to get more faith to overcome their habits. I feel like Paul says to kill things and cut them off, not just believe harder. This is who you are in Christ, now kill the desires of your sinful nature.
I did not know holidays were something I could enjoy. It is so cool to celebrate as part of His family.
But now, this is what the Lord says— he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; – Isaiah 43:1-3
