About Complaining

The cares of this world can sometimes be overwhelming, it's possible for them to demand so much space in the very hearts that our Lord cautions us to guard with all diligence for out of them flows the issues of life. It's possible for these cares to bring us to moments of vulnerability. 
"Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.." A heart captured by the cares of life and a mind ruled by their weight is a weary heart"

Hard truth; it's hard to lift up pure worship from a crowded heart unless  the Holy Spirit brings you to the place of knowing that God is perfect, He is good and no fault can ever be found in Him regardless of circumstances and the issues of life.
Look at this, 
Isaiah 43:2 'When you pass through the waters, I (The Lord) will be with you;and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.' 
It is given that these seasons of life will come but the promise of God over them stands that He will be there with us. So then the biggest reflection should be the end result and the attitude we carry through the waters, rivers and the fires. If the Lord is there, set a guard over your mouth not to complain, watch over your heart lest it broods bitterness and an attitude of giving up, guard your mind not to process murmurings. 

When we get to the point of wanting to justify the overflow of a crowded heart, remember the response of God to Job...


Job 38:2-3
Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said,

“Who is this that darkens counsel [questioning my authority and wisdom]
By words without knowledge?
 
“Now gird up your loins like a man,
And I will ask you, and you instruct Me!

Its a fearful thing to think we can question the position of God and get away with it.
Learn, carry a thankful heart through the seasons and most important have an avenue to let out your pain in an acceptable way, the grace will always be sufficient because scripture is true.
Trust me these are the moments that make us, they are the moments that make us stronger!

You have no rival,
You have no equal,
Now and forever God you reign,
Yours is the Kingdom,
Yours is the glory,
Yours is the name above all names
(What a wonderful name; Hillsong 2016)

'The perfectness of God can never be questioned' (Terry Nzaumi)

...the nakedness of my heart

Worship is close to my heart, it's a lifestyle worthy striving for everyday, it's a language I have come to love, expressing myself through it brings an indescribable experience. Expressing self to a God who is all knowing, who searches the hearts of men, who tests the mind even to give every man according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings, can only be possible and fulfilling from a place of nakedness and brokenness. By being naked I am telling God, I am hiding nothing from you, my heart lies open before you, the wickedness of my heart is known to you, nothing you do not know about me, not even the slightest offensive thought I had...and I ask that you would search me, cleanse me and bring me back to you. I believe that God values and honors a pure heart; Psalm 51...."for without holiness no one shall see God" ; Hebrews 12:14 Brokenness is a continuous lifestyle of agreeing with God about the state of my heart and life as He alone can ...

We need a community....

A community is a social, religious, occupational, or other group sharing common characteristics or interests and perceived or perceiving itself as distinct in some respect from the  larger society within which it exists. For the last few weeks I have been reflecting on some interesting thoughts which I thought would help someone else reflect and learn as well... Spiritual muscles are often developed in the context of a community. People who remain connected with their brothers and sisters in the local church almost invariably grow in self-understanding, and they mature in their ability to relate in healthy ways to God and to their fellow Christians. This is especially the case for those who are courageous and stick it out through the often messy process of interpersonal discord and conflict resolution. People who stay grow, People who leave do not grow and if they grow, not much. We all might know people who are consumed with spiritual wanderlust, but you never get to know th...
