It is always great to reflect on our actions and our choices in life whenever we have a time to think. Some times we blame God for our misfortunes but really He did give us time to think over our action plans. I, for one, have been working to partner with God over my life. I sometimes subconsciously forget that am in partnership and make decisions without consulting Him first. Afterall am the one that will live with the consequences of my choices, so i think i know whats best for me.I forget my sight is dim and shallow while my partner hears all things, sees all things and knows all things.
Now family believe when i tell you that i begin serious prayers when the going gets stuff. When the situation persist even harder i begin to question God. The worst of it sometimes is I tempt God. I get on my knees and begin to quote His words to him "Why did you let this happen to me when you promised me in your word that you will never leave me nor forsake me?" "Lord i thought You glory in your word above your name." " Jesus! but you promised to leave the holy spirit, the comforter with so tell me why i feel all alone?" Do you remember someone who did this in the bible? Satan! while tempting Jesus. (If you are truly the son of God jump down for the bible said he would give angels charge over you...). May the lord have mercy on me!
You can not partner with God and fail. I was talking with a guy at some point and i really liked him but you know why we stopped talking...better yet one of the reasons we stopped talking. His pastor had not given him the release to date someone at the moment. Every manner of thought ran through my mind about him to say the least. But when he explained why he took heed to him i could not blame him. He said a lot of things have happened in his life that if not for the leading of the holy spirit through his pastor he would not be where he is in life today (trust me when i tell you he is in a good place) and the few times he was stubborn to heed, he paid for it. Its almost like he runs everything by his pastor and his opinion counts heavily to him even more than his earthly parents (could be scary but hey it works for him). Not that i advise you do the same.
Thats how we should be with God though. Every breath that we take, every moment we are out it must be his way only. Like go read about this man that partnered with God, Abraham. He was so prosperous that his servants were enough to fight a victorious battle against a whole nation. God fought battles for him. He did not have a servant- master relationship with God. God called him, His friend. Thats the greatest achievement in life if you ask me.
Back to partnering with God, We start with the little prayers everyday, the little heart to heart talk while driving to work; the 10 minute bible devotion; the one minute speaking in tongues. The 10 seconds to say God I love you and appreciate you in my life. A consistent lifestyle POL (praying out loud; praising out loud). Any moment to spend with him is a great moment.
My time is up but i would leave you with this: "God will do this, for he is faithful to do what he says, and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord (I corinthians 1:9)." And like they say at Household of faith- have a blessed week and a great tomorrow!
