Laughing Together
I had one of those moments this morning where I knew that Jesus was laughing with me.
If you have been reading the blog over the past few weeks, you already know that I have been getting in God's way and trying to make my rules His rules. He has been dealing with me about this by showing me when I am blocking my own progress.
This morning I got up as usual to write my blog before I go run. I was struggling with the wording and fretting because I was running out of time when I heard that still small voice say, "Why can you only post in the morning? Won't it still be today after work?"
I lost what little train of thought I had going and began to laugh and that small voice within me laughed as well. It occurred to me that Jesus and I were laughing together.
It was a child-like moment where instead of beating myself up for being so goofy, I enjoyed the humor of my own silliness.
This was another classic example of me making a rule to live by that did not come from God. Does anyone else do that?
Do you want to know what I was writing about when Jesus and I laughed together? I didn't get far but here it is...
This is why the fulfillment of God's promise depends entirely on trusting God and His way, and then simply embracing Him and what He does. God's promise arrives as a pure gift.
Rom. 4:16 Message
God gives us the ability to hear and understand Him. He does not base it on our behavior but on our level of trust in Him.
This was as far as I got.
Hope you had a great day!
