It was noted in the Bible that Jesus was tempted after the 40 days of fasting and that perhaps we Christians should be most worried after Easter, that that is when the we will be tempted. During these 40 days I am trying to focus on doing away with things that waste my time or keep from communicating with God, and I said that I would do a devotion and read the Bible daily. We'll I've been doing the devotion but I think I could be more "into" it. Tonight I read it while in the tub, but I think from now on, I should come into my room and just spend some time with God, in quiet, with no distractions.
I had a conversation with God this morning, as I do every morning on my way to work. Today was a bit emotional as I found two condos for sale (one exactly like ours) for a great deal less than we had our condo listed. So after only 1 day on the market, I lowered the price. Now I wonder if I did so prematurely. Either way I know we're going to sell the condo this year and celebrate our first Christmas in a new home, we'll be able to have a Christmas party and family Christmas at our house for the first time. I just can't wait. Yes I can. I've waited this long, what's a few more months. I'm excited to see what God has in store for us b/c I know it's going to be far greater than I even dream of, that's usually how God works, He has always surprised me. He does it all the time.
Today, just when I need to hear it, Natalie Grant's "Held," came on the radio. She was talking before the song played and she reminded the listeners that "when everything else fell, He promised us, we'd be held." There could be nothing more truer than that.
He's holding us.
