Monday.
Since yesterday things are looking up. I started reading the book Habakkuk. Yes, a very random part of the Bible to be reading one must think, but it is a part of the Bible I have not read and also Ray suggested it. I started reading it and in the very first parts of the chapter it is where the prophet of God is complaining. I laughed inside when I read it. How many times do we complain in one single day? in an hour? even just one minute. So much of many of our lives is spent complaining. In habakkuk 1:2 it says, “How long, O Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen? Or cry out to you, ‘Violence!’ but you do not save?”. When has God not listened to us? He always listens and he always answers. Maybe we are not listening. It is funny when you read down a little farther in the chapter. verse 5 “Look at the nations and watch- be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.” Sometimes we just have to be patient and watch and be amazed as what is going to happen. Be patient, still, listen, wait and just watch and be utterly amazed to see what is going to happen. Something SO great we wouldn’t believe it even if we were told. Something we can only imagine by watching.
So I am going to stop being so angry I’ve decided and I am going to stop and watch the good things in my life. I am going to try and be UTTERLY amazed by God and all He is doing around me and everyone I know. I am going to stop complaining that God is not listening when He has been listening the entire time and just whispering in my ear to watch and be utterly amazed.
