I feel so motivated to grow in godliness, that I feel as if I am about to burst out of myself! I have such a hunger for God and such a motivation to be a godly woman and I�m so eager that I�m afraid that I�m going to miss some of the great things I�m learning because I�m reading so much good stuff! I want the Lord to till the rocky ground so that all these seeds can be planted in me.
As I was thinking about these new seeds falling on the soil of my heart, I also thought about how they must be watered by God in order that they may grow. As I was praying for God to do this in me, a little thought came to mind�
Sometimes God uses His watering can. Sometimes He sends a downpour.
Sometimes we learn things and take them in upon quiet reflection. Sometimes we only learn things through trials.
So I think in light of this, when I see dark clouds on the horizon, I will not go and hide inside but I will go out and run around in the rain!
Psalm 16:1-3, 7-9, 11 (NKJV)
Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.
O my soul, you have said to the LORD, "You are my Lord,
My goodness is nothing apart from You."
As for the saints who are on the earth,
"They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight."
I will bless the LORD who has given me counsel;
My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
I have set the LORD always before me;
Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will rest in hope.
You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
