Isaiah 63&64; Ps 107; John 2

Isaiah recounts yet again the works of God among a stubborn people. And now isn't it the same and yet for those who accept Christ forgiveness and grace
Something done 2000+ years ago - so many miss the relevance...I did

Abba help us to live lives of GRACE, MERCY and LOVE showing all it IS relevant
only looking to You
Your Son
with Your Spirit guiding us to every step...doing the Hard things...making the HARD choices
to BE relevant and weird
telling our stories to show???

it is weird
it is supernatural
and if we don't get that, it becomes about us doing it
and left to ourselves
we become SELF righteous

in the Spirit it is soft and weird and attractive
probably not to everyone
but
we can't care

in Your Spirit we can - mostly- only care about pleasing You and not others

loving them, because You say to

telling our stories, because they must be told
You're writing them
if I believed this could I be different??

Is. 64:4 No ear has heard, no eye seen a God like you who works for those who wait for him. You meet those who happily do what is right, who keep a good memory of the way You work.

Ps. 107 Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story.

John 2...If his own earthly mother got it wrong - asking something of Him...why do I expect not to ?? and her response...'do whatever he tells you'
wanting what God wants more than anything

more than looking good
more than pleasing the other guests
more than......
trusting Him and His will
still asking...not demanding her way

waiting
asking
telling

Abba with Your Spirits guidance perhaps I can try.....
I will wait
I will ask
I will tell

Becky... it's so hard to not be captured by fear of men and be wholly captured by fear of God... I am afraid of being thought wierd... but that was an encouraging post so thank you. We have to tell our story and not be afraid of what people think b/c they don't matter on the day of judgement...
