Last weekend, my mom shared her sabfab time with me. I enjoyed the ACTS (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and suplication) method of prayer with the movement of my body.
(Deuteronomy 6:5) "Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength."
We were made to love and admire God with all our heart, mind, body, strength. And yet, this is many times the most difficult thing to do. Praise or worship or adoration means to get outside ourselves and take a look at who God IS and not what we think He is or should be. How do we know who God is then? We MUST look to Scripture to tell us, because otherwise we are just making our own assumptions based on our limited experiences and feelings.
First and formost, God is Holy. Ps. 99:9 "The Lord our God is holy." Whole hosts of angels were created to cry out (Isaiah 6:3) "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory."
Emil Brunner expresses: "Holiness is the Nature of God, that which distinguishes Him from everything else...Holiness is not a quality which God possesses in common with other beings; on the contrary, it is that which distinguishes Him clearly and absolutely from everything else."
I was once asked about the fact that the word "fear" is used in the Bible to describe how we feel about God. Well, I think that due to His complete holiness, to encounter the living God who is completely separated from sin and blameless in every way is a frightening experience.
It is frightening, because I know that I fall short. I miss the mark of perfection. Because I am sinful and prideful and want my way instead of God's way in my life I deserve death. Does that sound too harsh?
Paul reminds us, "For the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23)
Because God is all holy, he hates sin, he cannot have anything to do with it, because He is all goodness and Light and there is no room for darkness with God. And He will exercise His wrath on sin.
Isaiah 13:9 "See, the day of the Lord is coming- a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger-to make the land desolate and destroy the sinners within it."
I know that God is just.
Isaiah 5:16 "But the Lord Almighty will be exalted by his justice, and the holy God will show himself holy by his righteousness."
I have been thinking this week, about all the injustice in the world today. Murder, rape, freedoms taken away, hatefullness. Don't you want justice? I know I do. It is good to know that God is good and God is just. He will set all things right. I like this until it comes down to me. When I am the one who has done the wrong, that is when I really want the Holy God to show his mercy and love. And he does! As much as God hates sin, He loves His people, He wants us to CHOOSE to love Him and choose to turn away from whatever else drives us in life to be driven by love for Him!
"Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." - look at this passage from Deu. "love the Lord your God" He is MY God, not only the God of nations, all powerful and knowing, but my personal helper and friend. There is a Christian song I have been listening to, and one of the lyrics says, "Could the Maker of the stars, hear the sound of my breaking heart?"
God is so personal, we are made to be so personal with Him. He wants in on all aspects of our life. Last week, I was working, and I had been sick the day before. I was exhausted, I felt almost numb. Between patient visits, I was just in tears crying out loud to God because in my own strength, I felt helpless. I could not go on. I told Him that He was going to have to do this last visit, give me the energy and strength. I was too weary, He needed to pick me up. God is always faithful. I felt a rush of joy come over me, and I made it for my last visit. I realized this was another example of how Jesus comes to our rescue. God wants us to call on Him, can I go to heaven? Yes, because you are covered by Jesus, he did it all for you if you just believe in Him. Can I get through this work day? Yes, because God is going to carry you through if you just believe in Him.
God is loving and merciful, he gave us Jesus. I would not be alive if not for Him.
John 5:26 "For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself."

Walk Like a Christian, talk like a Christian
This week has been absolutely banannas! I really don't like the fact that I have to take time off work and the fact that I am not sitting on a beach or at a ski resort during this forced time off! But, it has given me the opportunity to take care of the things that I have been neglecting lately. I finally signed up for my 401k this week, I renewed my gym membership....went to the gym....spent time with parents, and most importantly, spent time with my Lord and Savior whom I love. Having the opportunity to marinate over conversations and experiences of late, an article by Darrell Johnson had been coming to my mind. Titled: Demands My All, he begins:
"'Life is difficult.' That is the way M. Scott Peck begins his very helpful book The Road Less Traveled. Most people do not see this truth. Most people believe that life should be easy. The road most traveled is the road of moaning and grumbling about life's difficulties. The road less traveled is the road of accepting life's difficulties and meeting them head-on."
Some good stuff. I want to take a closer look even. At first glance, one may speculate that what Johnson is pointing out is that we should just "get over it," with little to no sympathy. That we only have two choices in life, to be upset over the wrongs and hurts we endure or to pretend there are no wrongs or hurts. A pitfall for many Christians is that we think we have to have it "all together" in order to be a good Christ follower, that if things are ugly and testing us we need to slap on a happy face, hide it so others don't know we struggle, for the world to see that as a Christain, you too, could have it "all together" like me. This is a lie, and not what Jesus intended for his followers.
(2 Corinthians 12:9)" But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."
We have heard the term "take up your cross."
(Matthew 16:24) "Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me."
I want to point out something here, Jesus is completely validating the fact that we each have a cross to bear. I know believers and non-believers alike who suffer with depression, death of loved ones, betrayal, cancer, loniness, chronic pain, and regrets. Jesus is not telling you to deny those very real pains, He is telling you to take up those hurts and pains, own them, and bring it to Him. Denying myself does NOT mean denying my self worth, denying myself does NOT mean denying my feelings. Denying myself does mean that I no longer answer to "Lord Haley"
D. Johnson says, "Human bondage in all its forms is the result of being our own gods."
If we can put aside our pride, jealousy, argumentative spirit, resentments, then we become free to be ourselves in a very honest and real way.
This raw exposure of ourselves seems intimidating, Jesus doesn't want you to be a basket case either. It is risky, to go against what the world tells you, and put your whole faith and joy in God. But I know from experience, that it is completely worth it. Remember, Jesus rose from the dead on Easter! He had to go through Good Friday, all the suffering and death, before he could overcome it.
It is also just as important to remember that the gifts God has given you, the unique mixture of your personal checkbook, home, brain, heart, talents, feet, mouth, etc. when given to God for HIS benefit and glory will never leave you short changed in life.
I have been reading Isaiah 43: 1-4 these past couple of days. I like how these verses give me some answers and insight into 1. Who God is. 2. Who I am and 3. What that means for me. When you go about denying yourself, its good to know what your doing it for (or Who in this case: God) and what we do receive in return.
God takes ownership of me (His creation)
"But now, this is what the Lord says- he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine." (v. 1)
God protects me
"When you pass through the waters, I 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." (v. 2)
Who is God?
"For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your sted. (v. 3)
Who are we?
"Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you," (v. 4)
God sacrifices for us
"I will give men in exchange for you, and people in exchange for your life." (v. 4)

With Confidence!
A friend of mine is blogging, I want to take a look at a Scripture passage she used.
(Hebrews 4:15-16) "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are - yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."
In my Woman's Devotional Bible there is some commentary on this passage.
"Jesus as our high priest, offered the ultimate sacrifice of his own body so that no other sin offering will ever be required. When he hung on the cross, the curtain preventing access to the Most Holy Place ripped in two (see Matthew 27:51). Now everyone has access to the mercy seat. Our great high priest has opened the way for everyone to confidently enter the throne room of God."
I have struggled ( and still struggle) with lack of confidence, doubt, and fear. It gives me great joy to know that God wants me, urges me, to come to Him WITH CONFIDENCE!
This is also stated in 2 Corinthians 5:21, "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."
Maybe this concept is just too simple for some folks. I feel there is much debate over this, that we must add something to our grace. Jesus +. Jesus + "I go to church" Jesus + "I will help the poor" Jesus + "I am going to get better at respecting, showing love, doing good" Jesus + "other good human beings"
NO! Acts 4:12 says "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
I used to feel that if I just tried hard enough, then I could get good enough, I could earn light, life, goodness. Or maybe if I just do what some other good people do, and look to them to give me answers. That did not work. I only felt like I was falling further, and further in despair and failure.
I love what Paul says, 2 Corinthians 6:2 "I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation."
It is now! And once I realized that, everything fell into place. I have been having the image of a puzzle this week. I felt, my whole life I was gathering pieces to a puzzle, but they never seeming to quite fit together right. Jesus came along and put it together for me! But, I have the image in my mind and on my heart, that there is one piece (a corner piece) still not in place because that will be what I recieve when I go home. When my work here on earth is done, and the job God set before me is done according to His will. And everyday God gives me here, I am getting a clearer and clearer picture of what is on that puzzle. How my life fits into the bigger picture God is painting.

Christ's power
"But he said to me, ' My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."(2 Corinthians 12:9)
This weekend was amazing. I am proud of my husband for following the will of God with me in standing before our church and confessing his sins with me to proclaim the power of Christ. I felt his love and protection, just as I feel the love of God. I just have to brag on him! In our weakness together, we were made stronger!! I am so proud of my husband, for giving himself for me and for the sake of God's kingdom!
Ephesians 5:25 commands, "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her." Christ died that we might live, He humbled himself to the cross. Christian husbands, you have the incredible task of humbling yourself for your wife's sake! For me, I pray that I might heed the instruction, Ephesians 5:22 "Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord."
I have to say, that as much as I wanted Zach to do card board testimony with me, I did allow him to make that descision on his own. Throughout the week, I found myself holding my tonge, wanting to tell him it was the right thing to do! I remembered something my cousin Ana did one time when I went fishing with her and her husband, Mike, one summer. We had driven up to a lake to go fishing, and Mike said when we got there that it may start to storm, and we should not go out. It seemed to me and Ana that it was not about to storm, and we wanted to go out on the lake since we had driven so far! I said to Ana, "Tell him we should go out, we have time!" Ana said calmly, "It has to be his idea."
I was pretty floored, when he finally said, "Ok, lets go out just a little ways, so we will have the chance to get in if it starts to rain."
I looked at Ana and asked, "Does that work every time??" (Me, not being married yet). She smiled and said, "No, but if I had told him what to do, that would have just made him mad and we would be back in the car right now." Then she said, "I know he really wants to take us out on the lake, it just needs to be on his terms."
How amazing!! Now, I am not saying I was perfect in submitting to my husband this week. In fact, I confess that I was starting to make suggestions as to what his testimony should say when he told me he was not sure about the right words to use. But in the end, it was on his terms, in his own words. I will get better as I go along in our marriage. I have faith, just like Ana, that he really wants my best interest at heart.

Card board testimonies
(Galations 2:20) " I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."
This Sunday, 1/23/11, I have been asked to participate with about 50 other members of my church in card board testimony. A before and after Christ in our lives. This will be a challenge for me, and a shot at my pride and therefore; I know I have to do it.
go to this link to get an idea of what we will be doing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rxojHiZoto.
God wants us to share His love with the world, and allow His healing and light in the dark places of our lives. I gladly obey.

Ask, seek, knock
My mom had a great post regarding patience in the life of a Christain. Romans 8:25 "But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently." Observing this passage- But is a structural indicator meaning a contrast-points out dissimilarities between throughts or ideas. The prior verse says, "Who hopes for what he already has?" so in contrast to that is v 25. "Hope" and "wait" are present tense verbs and patiently is the adj that discribes how we wait. The definition of wait: To remain in expectation. The definition of hope: To wish for something with expectation. In the noun form, "hope" is a desire accompanied by confident expectation.
Psalm 40:1 "I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry." But what exactly are we to DO while we wait?? I ask. Even when I am sitting in a doctor's waiting room, I need to be DOING something while I wait. I struggle with being patient, and I am really no good at waiting. I think God is using the things that I am wanting for in order to bring me closer to Him. Yesterday, Zach said, "I think we should ask God for this." In Matt 7:7 Jesus commands us, "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Ok, that's a little better for me, it's active; I can ask, I can knock, and I can seek! We prayed that morning together, and I was in tears, pleading with God to allow the hopes and dreams of my heart to become reality. Later in the day, I was at one of my patient's home, a family that only speaks Spanish, very minimal English. But somehow, we got into a conversation about how great God is!! And how much we love the Lord, Jesus! Background: This mother and father have a severely disabled child. Then they asked to pray for me!!! This was extremely humbling. I said, sure, yes; that would be great, thinking they would later go in their room tonight and mention me in their prayers. But no!! This faithful man of God, the father of one of my most difficult and severe patients, jumped up and grabbed my hand! He led me and his wife in prayer, pleading with God in Spanish, the same desires of my heart Zach and I had asked that morning!! It reminded me, that God doesn't just speak English, He is not white. He transends race, color, language, and cultures!! He is the God who Comforts us all!! This family, that I have to call in a translator to talk to them about their son, prayed a prayer that I could understand perfectly!
