My devotional time today was in Galations chapter 3.
1 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?[a] 4 Have you experienced[b] so much in vain—if it really was in vain? 5 So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard?
I don't know about you, but these last few months I've been exhausted. I feel like I just get things done and it's time to begin the new tasks that lay ahead. Meanwhile, my devotional time has suffered...I feel farther away from where I want to be. I can never seem to get enough work completed; the more I do the more I need to do. The projects just keep getting bigger.
Yet, not once did I ask my Heavenly Father about it. I didn't ask him about His plans for me and I didn't ask for His help. My day would be much better when complimented with His Spirit rather than my own works. What have I been thinking?!
Each Sunday, I look at the calendar for the wee and inform the family of our plans. I think I must to this to God, too. Realizing the error of my ways, I need to rise and ask Him what His plans are for me this day. I need to thank Him for all things. I also need to stop meeting the demands of man (myself included) and meet the demands of my Lord.
Enough Said!
