It's always interesting to look back and analyze a play by play. Thinking what could have been differently, asking if more preparation could have made a difference, analyzing other scenarios.
Yesterday's devotions spoke about not looking past God's ability to use anyone, and I guess that was in reference to me, as I faced a situation where I found myself utterly helpless, and unable to make a difference in the life of someone I love very much. But as we talked it over and spent time tackling the problem, I could feel the grace of God overwhelm me and give me words that began to heal the situation. It was a refreshing and tiring experience. Refreshing to feel God use me, tiring emotionally. I already feel vulnerable and have noticed that I am more tempted. Or rather more susceptible to temptation, which is not a good thing considering I will be going for another potentially emotionally draining meeting tonight. - Which was just cancelled.
GOD IS GOOD! ALL THE TIME!
As for the latter portion of the teaching on spies to investigate the land we're invading, (Gathering information on the new things we're trying), it actually just gave me a spark of interesting insight. Into how we should gather information and solve the problem I was being strong and courageous about two days ago. Spies, what an idea!
Well I guess we'd see how that goes in a day or two. It strikes me how the word of God is not just teaching, but wisdom and insight into how to tackle complex situations.
The strangest thing is I was kind of bummed out about writing this today, because I felt like God hadn't used what he taught me, but rather his spirit within me to accomplish what he had planned. The strange thing is I only realized what God was saying in hind sight and I see how him refreshing those ideas in me yesterday made a huge impact on how i viewed the situations I faced as they came about.
Now I see that all things really do fall into place in his time.
