In the middle of praying and worshipping God I had to stop to write this. My prayer began repenting and asking for forgiveness of my sins. I prayed that the spirit of conviction never part from me because I never want to get to a point in life where I feel I have "arrived". Regardless the amount of peace, joy, and contentment obtained. I never want to feel like I'm at a point where I can't grow , be corrected , or held accountable. Suddenly my lips began to flutter thanks unto God. I began to shed tears. I couldn't even request anything from God all I could do was thank him. The more I thanked him I began to feel a deeper understanding for "even if I had 10,000 tongues I couldn't thank God enough". I could only thank him for the things I can remember , then I realized there are things he did I don't even know. And for the things unknown I have to thank him. The times he was puling me away , shielding and protecting me. All the times he rerouted me to protect me. I acknowledge he can see past situations and things I can't. We serve an all knowing God and for that I'm thankful. We serve a God that operates in the spirit and natural. Just sitting here thinking of how thankful I am , all I can say is "God is a loving God". We can only comprehend what God wants us to know. I could never wrap my head around the unknown of God. In that is glory and beauty.
I hear God saying "you have to remember to thank me for the unknown". Because that's where his identity is. God is saying in the unknown is where he is , that's where he hides. He is saying that's where he is operating "in the unknown". God said the unknown is what he is using.
I could also hear God saying he just used me the way he did because I gave him thanks. I am so humbled. I want to remind you sometimes in your giving thanks alone God will release you to be used by him. It doesn't always have to be when you plant a seed, etc sometimes it's in pausing to give thanks.
While I was praying God was telling me he was giving me that moment during prayer to get it right with him. He woke me up this morning , allowed me to make it home from work and gave me a moment to stop and make it right with him. Im thankful for that moment because alot of people didn't get it. But he saw fit to give me a chance. So use this moment to get it right with him. Close your eyes and get it right with God. I can't tell you what to say. Just close your eyes , open your heart and talk to him.
