God Moments Part Two

So I downloaded this new Devotion app... and it is doing great things for me.  It has AM and PM devotions, which is even better!  It's like the devotions are made just for me... which I know they aren't... it's just God's way of showing me He is right here next to me holding my hand.

Well, last night's devotion was Rock of Safety.

"From the ends of the earth, 

I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed.  

Lead me to the towering rock safety."

-Psalms 61:2

In the depths of our despair we can cry out to God when we are overwhelmed.  Pray to him and tell him what overwhelms you, confide in him, share your burdens.  Turn to God for help and he will lead you to a towering rock of safety.

This fits right in with what I have been struggling with.  School is stressing me out, being away from Hunter is hard and I miss him like crazy, not being at camp and being in Summer school is overwhelming me.  The thought of growing up is beginning to overwhelm me, as much as I want it and look forward to it.  Then I read this and I am just reassured that our Heavenly Father is right here beside me holding my hand, walking by my side.  How great is He!

This morning's devotion was Who Long.

"But people who long to be rich 

fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires 

that plunge them into ruin and destruction."

-1 Timothy 6:9

Ask around and everyone will tell you they wish they had more money.  But yet, more than likely, there is food on the table and clothes on their backs.  We must be diligent in our thoughts to avoid longing to be rich.  This greediness leaves us vulnerable to take risks that lead to ruin all for the sake of being rich.  Seek out contentment in the Lord and you will receive many blessings. 

I am also fighting this battle... I fully believe money is the root of all evil.  I was just talking to my mom about this yesterday.  But we make it that way.  I am blessed beyond measure.  I never go hungry, I am working on a college education, I always have clothes on my back, gas in my car, etc.  I definitely do not long to be rich.  I do not want a lot of money but sometimes I do struggle to get by on what I have... but maybe that's because I expect too much?  I don't know the answer.  If we seek contentment in the Lord we will realize just how blessed we are and how little we need.

here's to you having your own God moments!

peace. and. blessings.
