***Audio Version For Paid members: Come On Home Audio 488
From the moment we are born, we are put on the path of discovery regarding our life choices, how we grow, and what we believe. It is all a matter of what other people decide: how we decide to be raised up in the Lord, how we learn and process, whether we are in public school or homeschool, whether we choose college or not. All of it is fundamentally a part of our growth, and the person that you are right now is a result of decisions you’ve made that were influenced by the environment you were raised in. Whether negative or positive, the influences have been there.
From that moment that we step into the world ready to grow and ready to spread our wings, so to speak, the growth and relationship we have with our God becomes clear. How we have grown, what we decide, how we move in the world, and whether or not we return to the Body of Christ or whether we ever leave, all of that is a part of our journey. It’s a part of discovery. It’s a part of knowing God and having a personal relationship with Him.
In the cornerstone scriptures, we see in Revelation 3:21 the importance of sitting with God and being in fellowship with Him, opening the door to your heart and letting the Lord in. In the second cornerstone scripture, we see in Ecclesiastes that the Lord makes everything beautiful in His time. This is followed by more information on time and seasons.
In Ecclesiastes 3, we see it starts off with there’s a time for everything. There’s a time, there’s a season for all things, and as we go through 10 verses of that, this verse 11 shows us that everything is made beautiful in God’s time. Everything works out in the end.
And so we see these scriptures, and when we really sit with them and meditate on this word, we can begin to see our life, begin to see the decisions we’ve made, begin to see the things that we’ve cried out for, the things that we prayed for that God would perform, and the things that we have prayed for others. We begin to see that we come into agreement with His Spirit. We pray to the Lord our God, but it is He who brings the increase. It is the Lord who brings about change and turnaround in season.
When we are out looking for things in the world, looking for solutions, looking for the way to go, looking for growth and stability in the world, and learning eventually that the growth and the stability and all of the things have their purpose, but nothing replaces that relationship with God.
Nothing can snatch you from the hand of the Father (John 10:28-29). Nothing can get between you and the God that you serve when your mind is made up. And in doing the “making up” of your mind and in becoming the woman that follows God completely, everything else begins to change.
