Trust with the Sovereign Lord,

My walk with the Lord is good, He is faithful because thats just what He is no questions asked. I feel like with this journey im taking to once again try to eat up His word He is teaching me a lot that i can and will apply to my life with the desire to glorify His name.


BUT!


although i have been showing you mostly about Matthews i am going to write about Genesis this time, i have been reading the old and new testement simultaneously. So although Matthews is great so is Genesis.

I will share a verse from Matthews that really hits me hard especially as one that leads the people of our Church into worship/the presence of the Lord. it comes from

Matthew Eighteen; 7
Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come!



Genesis Eighteen; 13-15
Then the Lord said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh and say, 'WIll i really have a child now that I am old?' Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son." Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, "I did not laugh." But he said, "Yes, you did laugh."

During this time Abram's name was changed to Abraham because God had made a covenant with him that he will be the father of many nations and promising Abraham and his wife Sarah a son this passage revisits that account. It speaks of the promise that God tells to Sarah that she will have a son even when she was in her 90's. Not trusting in God she laughed, and as I imagined it while i was reading i feel like God had one of the two feelings, it was laughter with a hint of sarcasm or He was just mad. I feel like either way is good for God because i mean HES GOD! haha. But i'd like to think of it as sarcasm because she tries to lie to God but he says, Yes, you did laugh. In my life i think i act just like Sarah, and not like Abraham. I mean he trusts in the Lord with whatever, even later on in Genesis he is asked to give up his son that he and Sarah had together, this promised child to see his obedience to the Lord. But unlike him, Sarah was different and i feel like she is what i am. A lot of times i laugh saying God your not able, i trust but i dont think it will happen. And i tell myself look at my heart or the hearts of others; WE WONT LISTEN and those types of thoughts come. But in praying for this church and for fire to come down i feel like i need to trust in the Lord with all that i have and all i know. Trust that he will bring the lampstand to Purdue if we are faithful in prayer. We need to expect the Lord to do the impossible, which is to change hearts. Change hearts to admire and desire the heart of the Lord.


Application; to pray for Cornerstone. If i as a leader am not faithful in praying for this church and its people then theres no point for me to being a leader. I dont fit its qualifications and im only serving to fill my heart to serve and im not really serving other people only myself.
