Moving On

I just realized that in a lot of my blogs I quote a song. It's not surprising really, since music is one of the ways the Lord speaks deeply to my heart. Realizing the different ways God speaks to us is very important. Sometimes He speaks through His written word, at other times through things we see, through others, or through something we read online, and even through music. I've heard so many people say in frustration that they don't hear the Lord speak to them, when in fact they just didn't realize the plethora of ways that He does!

I was thinking about a song that Cory Asbury sings in which he says, "I finally found where I belong, it's to be with You, to be with You." In light of my personal situation right now- waiting on a move back to the U.S for the past year and not feeling at home where we are now, this song hit the spot! 

So many of us find ourselves in situations that are uncomfortable. Whether you are believing for a spouse, ready for a new job, or hoping to move to another State, there is one place we can be comfortable calling HOME - in His presence. I've realized in my journey that it isn't UNTIL we come to terms with the situations we find ourselves in, that the Lord moves us to the next phase. Trusting Him is both the greatest form of worship and the greatest weapon of warfare. Perhaps your calm attitude in the midst of a bad job is something that will touch the heart of a coworker, opening them up to the Lord. Or perhaps once you find peace in being single, the Lord will bless you with your spouse. 

The point is, our joy isn't based on our circumstances, it is based on finding that our HOME (our peace, our strength, our security) is in His presence. In His presence is FULLNESS of JOY!

All other points of life must flow from this one location - IN HIM!
