After ten years I moved from my “exit” house. At least I hoped it would be where I made my exit into heaven’s door. In my heart I knew it was not.
How did I know? I was under the conviction of the Holy Spirit. And how did I know that? I fought too hard to control all aspects of it. The first sign was in the heavy furniture I bought that was only movable by professionals, and another was many times we traveled for Du’s work which also piqued my quest to see many places and their peoples.
And then the Holy Spirit called me out on my heavy furniture. He let me know that there are people that will take care of that. He simply said “let’s close this door.” I was excited, yet reluctant, but because I belong to Jesus l will follow Him.
He allows us the Ecclesiastical time to reflect and so I did.
This past home was a time for personal soul growth. Observations were made, messages given and received. Theirs is on them. Mine is on me.
And then my reflecting turned to self-doubt with a tint of pity. Leaving an opening when the devil came around to find me looking back at the routine, the order, the knowing. I was looking back just like Lot’s wife; the only woman in the entire bible that Jesus mentioned in Luke 17:32 “ Remember Lot’s wife”? She left her heart and her attention back in Sodom.
My lesson was to be an up close and personal reflection regarding this comfort of “knowing.” The humanity version of it steals!
Proverbs 18:15 states “An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.” This acquiring and seeking are action verbs. Like in GO.
Mark 10:52 "Go," said Jesus, "your faith has healed you."
Mark 16:15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
And so on. So I will go and grouse no more. ☺️
