It All Begins Here
Jesus is pursuing our hearts…
I once asked my Father to speak to me about my life and he told me to read Exodus 32. In Ex 32, the Israelites grow impatient waiting for Moses and in their impatience created an idol and began to worship it. In my own life, I was not waiting for God. I was impatient in having what I wanted and basically began to worship something else - I had taken a gift he had given me and elevated it above Him. I had taken my eyes off the goodness and greatness of God and placed my attention on the gift. After a while the gift became so important that instead of resting in God and trusting him to handle the gift, I was trying to manage the gift myself and was only growing more tired. God-sized blessings are not meant to be managed without his leadership - it's the best way to lose it or lose ourselves.
