What I will Answer

Janelle:
So I was confronted about something, and you know how it is when someone is critical of any of your actions. I immediately defend myself. I hold a trial of all that I have done and thought, and lay all my evidence before the jury (me) and the Judge (me again) and point out to the prosecution in minute detail all the why's and wherefores and "how dare you come against me in any case." But because of the life I have chosen to lead and the call that I believe in, I have to stop. To open my heart and to ask God what He is wanting to say to me. And not only that but asking how I should answer.


Hab 2V1 "I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

2And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

3For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry."

It really goes along quite nicely with what I was thinking about before. That being the watchman, and the vision. I was also thinking about the scripture about make the vision plane and "your call and election sure". It sounds so beautiful and poetic, but how to make it real and an every day occurrence? I make the vision plane, when I live it. When I, standing on my watch, take the correction, though I don't like it and my response it "Lord, make me what you want me to be. Make my actions to be what please you and where I need to pull up my pants and get with the program, show me, so I am not left out of this election."  So when I am reproved, it's time to remember the vision. To reiterate in my life once again, that I am here to be perfected. So that means all the stuff that God doesn't like needs to be brought to my attention. That also means a lot of stuff being brought to my attention... Yuck. But it's that or not be a Son of God. 

Dan: Prayer

Prayer is a tool that the Lord gives  us to use. It is also a tool the Holy Spirit employs when he intercedes for us. The more we use it and are in right relationship, the more we will be asking for the right things and know how to pray for each other. John 16:24 " Ask in my name, according to my will, and he'll most certainly give it to you. Your joy will be a river overflowing its banks!"
