This morning as I was walking I came
up with the brilliant plan to stick my car key under my arm band that was
holding my phone, thinking if my keys fell I would feel them or hear
them. LOL... you know how that worked, right! As I finished my second
mile I realized I had lost them. I was dumbfounded for a minute then I
was a little panic stricken, then I realized where they probably fell... on that
little hill I like to jog up. The problem is the little hill was at least 2/3
of a mile away which meant I had to walk ALL the way around to that place to see if
in fact they were there. I of course looked on my way there and I kept
saying God where are those keys... my spirit answered, you know exactly where
they are. I was a little frustrated I could not just snap my fingers and
be there, but I figured since I had to re-walk the path I might as well
use it usefully, so I started praying....
God started whispering, Nora
sometimes you get so caught up in the moment or things around you , that you don’t realize you have dropped your
keys... you are wide open and it is only when you get to a place of needing
those keys do you realize that you are trying to operate without a very
important thing... Just like you have been operating the last few weeks without
Me. Just like you have to walk around this path again to find the exact
place you lost the keys, I had to walk you around the path to the place of
where you dropped Me off. I need you to understand where you dropped ME
off & why you dropped ME off.
We like to holler OH God where are
You, OH GOD why did YOU leave me when things get tough or the enemy is in
our face laughing at us as we are stumbling the path blindly. But the
truth is we are the ones who leave HIM on the side of the path when it isn't
convenient having Holy Spirit in our ear going... no that is not a wise
choice. We may not even notice the first lap or two, then there comes
a moment when you realize you are not hearing HIM as you have, you are not at
peace about anything and every little wind that blows scares you. You
can’t see people the way HE sees them, you view them thru your mistrust or
need, you question their motives, your motives and you have no way of seeing
the truth, because chaos is the enemies best friend. We will realize
where we let go of HIS hand and then in our selfishness we ask GOD to just
transport us to that moment and just start from there, but alas there is
a process. That process is meant to teach us something so that maybe we won’t
take one more lap without HIM. I experienced that in the last few
days.
Two things I learned through this, I still feel the need for others approval and I see myself as
alone and in need... OUCH! Correction is
a hard thing, and it hurts, but the peace that comes with it is so past any
words I can put to paper... here is the truth HE gave me.... I am accepted in
the Beloved even when I miss it, I am chased daily with a love that surpasses all understanding,
I am not alone, I never have been... My DADDY GOD has been there thru it
all! I am a blessed daughter of the MOST HIGH GOD! Thank YOU FATHER
GOD for YOUR forgiveness, grace and love!!!!
My beloved spoke and said to me,
"Arise, my darling,
my beautiful one, come with me. See!
The winter is past;
the rains are over and gone. Flowers
appear on the earth;
the season of singing has come,
the cooing of doves
is heard in our land. The fig tree
forms its early fruit;
the blossoming vines spread their
fragrance.
Arise, come, my darling;
my beautiful one, come with
me." (Song of Solomon 2:10-13 NIV)
