Do you ever feel like you need to get away and re-group and refresh your spirit? I do and I did this yesterday and today. The place that draws me to a refreshing is by the water. It was a gorgeous day yesterday and today with the warmth of the sunshine and in the 60's yesterday and 70's today. I found myself in search of a body of water to be near so I could write. Let me share with you the beauty that I experienced yesterday and today. I met a couple while at this destination. They shared with me that they have a home on this body of water and it gets nice and warm the water temp in the Summer to swim in it. This particular place I found is a very popular boat launch for people that like to fish. I did not just stumble on this place I discovered it by asking questions. It is a good thing to ask questions of local people. I learned something about a boat launch ramp. It seems to be that 2 people need to be a part of this, there is a drop off area where 1 person gets out of the boat and they go and get the truck with the boat trailer that transports the boat and another person is in the boat. When the truck or vehicle backs up to the boat it then goes into the boat trailer and something clicks and when it is connected it pulls the boat up the ramp and then they pull the boat our of the water.
The way the sun was shining it just glistened, you can see that in one of the pictures I posted. It is so peaceful here now that the majority of fishermen came in from fishing, to see the seagulls and a pontoon drive by. Do you have a place in your life when you find yourself becoming a bit agitated that you can go somewhere in nature and re-group? God created nature and run to the hills if you find peace there or the water if your peace and rest is there. I think it does not matter which one you choose it is the area that you connect with God. Away from the city noise and lights. When you are there you can hear and receive more from Holy Spirit, your mind is not clouded or cluttered. The song I shared with you the other day, there is a verse that stays with me"If you call us to the fire You will not withdraw Your hand we'll gaze into the flames and look for you."
When you are in the fire, so to speak, if you learn to not fight it and go through it you will come out. Two choices for you, to come out burned and smelling like the fire and then everyone will know you fought the fire or choice #2 gaze into the flames and look for Him. I learned something new today. When the ground is very dry it only takes one person to throw out a cigarette out their window and the next thing you know a brush fire starts. I asked questions of this couple when we were talking and I shared that I saw a brush fire the other day while on the highway. I never saw one prior to that. Do not create your own fires in your life that is a dangerous place to be. For it is not that easy to contain it and it spreads quickly. If you are called to the fire with the hand of God upon you then it is a controlled environment and it is He that guides you and pulls you through.
Fire can be used to refine you and your life. Do not murmur and complain but lift your eyes to the hills for that is where your help comes from this is what Holy Spirit showed me
God's Fire=purity=love=God
Let me share with the single people now that read this blog. I was at church earlier today and the pastor preached about marriages and he even addressed the single people too. If you are single do not get hung up on the idea of marriage that it will fix everything in your life and will make you complete. Do not let the idea of marriage become an idol in your life. You will eventually wake up confused if you think marriage will make you whole. Searching and trying to find another person, it must come from God. You must love God #1 and #2 is to love your spouse as yourself. God always is #1 and spouse #2. If the two will then seek the #1 all things are possible, miracles can come forth out of it. He cautioned singles to be careful and do not make marriage an idol and worship it. If you get it right, God #1 He'll find and connect you with the #2 in your life. Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all other things will be added unto you. Seek the #1. There was an altar call and a part of that altar call was for the singles to come forward, I did. I asked forgiveness if I sometimes take my eyes off of God and complain to Him that isn't it time that I got married. Our Father in heaven is a loving God that is quick to forgive, if you would just ask Him to forgive your wrong thinking and for getting out of line with where He wants you to be. Keep seeking Him and it is in the seeking of Him that He will reveal you to the one He has set aside just for you. Do not seek out the man or woman in your life in your own strength. Seek God and He will reveal your mate to you and to them also. Rest in His grace and mercy and TRUST in the Lord and HE will direct your path. Amen to that.
