Can't Do This Thing Called Life W/o You Here W/Me




I was mad at God... All weekend. But one of my Pastor's major themes is "When I think of the Goodness of Jesus and All that He's done for me... basically I can't help but praise Him." I felt so bad, because something I asked him to do within the next 2 weeks, he's doing it, but I got mad at him for not doing something I asked. I kept telling him I was so disappointed and I wanted Him to make me feel better, but it didn't happen until I went to church today. I was so mad at Him that I broke a promise I made to Him...

The message was about the Holies of Holies, and about how God ripped the veil back in the day from top to bottom to show that we never need a middleman to come into His presence; we can worship Him and get there ourselves. Then, during worship today (which was awesome... Definitely ran to the altar and laid on my face...) I was crying because I felt bad for getting mad at God. Pastor Hannah mentioned Proverbs 3:5... After reflection tonight, here it is in the KJV. (With a lil' extra...)

5.Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6.In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7.Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
8.It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
9.Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10.So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

I have to learn to trust God completely. I also asked him to help me to hear and know His voice, because I get confused... The above scriptures are like the bomb in the Message Bible... I think I'm gonna buy that Bible to supplement my study:

5.Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own.
6.Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track.
7.Don't assume that you know it all. Run to God! Run from evil!
8.Your body will glow with health, your very bones will vibrate with life!
9.Honor God with everything you own; give him the first and the best.
10.Your barns will burst, your wine vats will brim over.

I'm still believing Him for my Ephesians 3:20 blessing:
KJV:
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think , according to the power that worketh in us,

The Message:
God can do anything, you know - far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.


I used to hate when ppl remixed secular songs into Christian songs, but during worship, this young man played the violin, and one of the worship leaders sang a version of Beyonce's Dangerously in Love... Man... It was kinda awesome... I started crying harder...
