November
Today (Friday), the sun is shining beautifully there's a soft little breeze. The little lake is filled with honking geese coming and going. It's so much fun to watch.
But I'm finding myself so distracted! I want to be at peace and draw close to the Lord but my thoughts keep running off hither and yon. Normally, I want to condemn myself in this moment. But I know I don't have to! The Lord is telling me that. He is right here with me, loving me, enjoying me. And he knows who I am. He knows everything about me he knows whether I can focus or not, lol. I love that. I love him!
I was thinking about the Holy Spirit a moment or two ago, and God reminded me that the Holy Spirit wants to teach us all things. I think there's more to that verse more than just all things but all things pertaining to godliness. I need to look this verse up. But this touches me deeply!!! I know the Holy Spirit teach me everything I need to know about God, about myself, for the future, my ministry. All of that. Oh this is why God calls us to draw dear to him. Oh he gives us all the time and so many ways. But the best when we draw near. Oh Lord help me show me guide me. How do I draw near?
Now that is a really good question. The first thought that comes to me is that to draw near to something, you must draw away from something else. But I bet there are other steps too.
