DANIEL 180: I'M ALL ALONE!
What does this mean?
What does the world say?
What do the Ancient Scrolls say?
"And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not." Genesis 28:16
I must realize that my Journey will bring me into Valleys of decisions. It is in these valleys that I must learn the Power of Commitment!
It is in these Valleys that I must learn how to stay Strong and Stay the Course knowing that just like Jacob my life is filled with times when I am running from the issues in my life!
I used to escape to vices that were out to destroy me even though I knew it not!
I need to understand that when I am exhausted, lonely, afraid and guilty that it is normal. Everyone goes through times of emptiness, loneliness, guilt fear! However God is still in this place even if I know it not! I must cling to my Ancient Scrolls for they Remind me of my Ancient Friends and how my Redeemer never left them nor forsook them.
When I feel Pressure, Trouble, Fear of the Future etc....I need to Remember what my Redeemer said,
"I came that you may have life! Not a boring life of always worrying about what you can't do but an abundant life of Action on what you can do for My Kingdom!"
It is this Power of seeking the Kingdom of my Redeemer first and His Righteousness that everything else in my life falls into place!
I Realize now that an Abundant life is a life of Offense not Defense!
An Abundant life is one of giving and serving others first other than myself!
When Jacob was running away from his family he was serving himself first by manipulating the situation at home.
Little did he know that His Redeemer has a way of making every situation in his life fit perfectly into his Redeemer's Plan!
Now I realize my Redeemer always prepares a way before I arrive at any given destination.
Even though Jacob was tired, beat and stressed he was still seeking his Redeemer's presence.
Jacob was so tired and depressed that he used a rock for a pillow.
When I am stressed about life I must find that same Rock to allow my Redeemer to refresh His Vision for my life.
The ladder Jacob saw reminds me that God is always sending me messages.
Even if I don't feel worthy He is Worthy! He has graciously allowed me to be Worthy with Him!
Knowing this perspective I can now look at stress as an opportunity to get a Refresher Course with my Redeemer.
I need to realize that my Redeemer is always in this place even if I know it not!
I also need to realize that when I serve other's first then The Lord has just shown up in their World or Place!
It is this Attitude of knowing His commitment to me that gives me the Power to commit everything to Him.
By doing this I am one step closer to my Recovery!
