To keep my eyes on You.

It’s been a while since I’ve written, but I know that You have been with me, leading me and listening. Reading today from a blog about the Goliath in the blogger’s life and realizing that we all have at least one in our lives – or Paul’s thorn – those things which humble us and at times defeat us. Perhaps it is how we see them – as enemies or opportunities. I sometimes feel so helpless and weak and yet that is not Your purpose for me – but it takes Your Spirit to really make me strong. Kent spoke to this yesterday, and I need to daily remind myself that although I can do nothing without You, I can do what You have purposed for me to do because You will supply - You have supplied what is needed to accomplish Your call on and in my life. There is a part that I play, an effort on my part to co-operate, to allow You to work through me. I think sometimes I think to much, try to hard to figure it all out, to understand the why instead of just trusting You to know what and how and when and all the other little details. I can rest in You, I don’t have to be afraid, You will provide, You will finish what You have started. To keep my eyes on You, to look beyond the Goliath that is facing me, and keep my eyes on You.

I have set the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved. (Psalm 16:8)
