“I COME TO NICE UP THE WHOLE NATION” (REPOST)
With some vital information that we can live the best lives with God as an excellent Guide and Partner helping us in every moment:
“God wills that we should push on into His Presence and live our whole life there. This is to be known to us in conscious experience. It is more than a doctrine to be held, it is a life to be enjoyed every moment of every day.” – The Pursuit of God by A.W. Tozer
Are you having a conscious experience of Him? Let me tell ya, I’m having constant conversations with Him and He has led my life to a beautiful place.
Yesterday evening we had a conversation about why I allowed myself to get so upset by my hubby’s comments that I’m not working hard enough. It was a reminder that I’m not genuinely dead to the world. I want to be unflinching/unshaking and calm, no matter the situation I find myself with my focus on God and what He would have me to do.
Which is what I did around 3 am this morning when the topic came up again with hubby. I calmly and respectfully stated what I felt God wanted me to explain to him. I said, “You know you hit the jackpot with Nikki, and Nikki has hit the jackpot with you.” I told him all about the yin and yang and how are differences as a couple are what make us stronger together. We see life from two different perspectives. His focus is on some important areas and my focus is on other important areas, which makes us a stronger team. We balance each other out!
I also read him an important message from my book:
“The faithfulness was a big one that day. We’re called by God to be loyal, dependable, and trustworthy, no matter what anyone else is doing.”
Letting hubby know that’s my calling from God; to always be a faithful and loyal wife to him no matter what.
And that’s the conscious experience of God I guide my life by; doing what He would have me to do. The human Nik could have gone entirely in the other direction, ‘Oh, he doesn’t appreciate me! Why do I have to always give my best to him!’ But God would have me to give my best, anyway!
And when I live my life doing what God would have me to do, things always go extremely well. Like coming home late, I met hubby waiting for me to eat a beautiful meal he had prepared for us. He actually waited for me to eat with him!
Stick with God in every moment, every example and every experience, doing what he would have you to do. That’s the vital info for today! I’m talking the best life here!
Your strength will come from settling down in complete dependence on me. – Isaiah 30:15 (MSG)
KEEP CALM—YOU’RE ROLLING WITH GOD
