Being right with God

I am trying to be better at going to bed earlier, so I will have to be quick with this entry. :) I have finished a very eventful day, just finishing up my monthly newsletter for school which I should have finished before I even left for Christmas break....well, it is done now with plenty of days to spare in the month of January at least.

I just got off the phone with my sister a few minutes ago that gave me the final direction of what to write about today. We were discussing the events of her day, and eventful it was. With ten kids, you are bound to have a little excitement now and again. :) She is amazing, as always, at working through her own personal tutorials. As she shared some of the days events, the Spirit kept whispering understanding to my heart of how although it was a chaotic day, Heavenly Father was in every detail of it. I won't go into detail of the events as they are of little consequence to the lessons that were learned, just as the events in all of our daily lives vary in personalization to each of us. Exactly what WE need to grow and take us to a new level.

From this discussion with my sister coupled with an e-mail I sent off today I was reminded again of how God is in EVERY detail of our lives, but it is up to us to let Him be. Also that there are a lot of things of every day life that pull and tug us in every direction, but at the end of the day, what really matters most is that you are right with God. Everything else is of very little consequence in the grand scheme of things.

"Although God created all things and is the ruler of the universe, being omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent (through his Spirit), mankind has a special relationship to him that differentiates man from all other created things: man is literally God’s offspring, made in his image, whereas all other things are but the work of his hands." (Bible Dictionary, God)

"God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath , and all things;

And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring."

Acts 17:24-28
