You might get tired of this, but I have to start out again with saying I praise God for today, and yesterday. I really, really felt good yesterday. I watched Christian TV, and then laid off TV pretty much for the remainder of the day. I prayed yesterday that I would be healed, and feel that way. I literally got on my knees, as I read the story of the woman with issue of blood who said "If I can just touch His garment I will be healed." My prayer was "God, I want to touch your spiritual garment. Because Lord your Word says that you're at my right hand, and at the right hand of the Father."Psalm 16:8 I have set the LORD always before me.Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.Psalm 45:4 In your majesty ride forth victoriously in behalf of truth, humility and righteousness; let your right hand display awesome deeds." And as I prayed I literally took my hand and rubbed His spiritual garment. Glad there was nobody home, or they would've thought I was crazy. I hung up about 500 things laying in my closet floor. I also cooked our family some form of dinner. (It wasn't good, but that's beside the point) I realized as I was cooking, I didn't have ANY sensation of the stent being in place. I had totally forgotten. I was in momentary awe. Because I had forgotten to take the bladder med that I take every 8 hours, because I was feeling so good. It's just like the song Alabaster Box. You can't even understand exactly, you just have to choose to (or not to) take my word for it. I went to church last night, and again was glad I did. Amanda finished up her teaching for me. She taught on James 4 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%204:1-10;&version=65; and it was very good teaching on "getting serious." On my drive to church I saw the Good Year Blimp. I remembered various times in my life when I've seen it, or someone who was with my would see it and declare, "Look! The Good Year Blimp!" As I looked at it I realized that I had no idea what the purpose of the Good Year Blimp was. Does it drop down Good Year Blimp fairy dust? Is the driver just blowing kisses down that we can't see? Is it an "undercover FBI" tool? I thought "What does this thing do?"
Is that how your Christian life is? You're just present, but without purpose. I think churches are full of Good Year Blimps today. People who offer a big and beautiful showing that's full of hot air. They're outspoken, but yet say nothing of meaning. Oh that we can realize God is so much more concerned with our inside than our outside. God desires more for you than existence. Be bold today. Ask God to show you what He wants for your life.
