Late last night I was journaling (something all too common in my life), and I had a spiritual breakthrough.
Kind of.
I was asking "Why can't I understand God? Why don't I understand the ways He works in my life?"
Then it hit me: I will never understand God because if I understood Him, that would put me equal with Him, and then I would lose my need for Him in my life.
I was also reminded of the sovereignty of God: He is above all. I then journaled a prayer that said "God, help me get over myself and the need to understand You."
Talk about a crash course in humility.
Randomly I thought about Summit in the fall of 2009; and how the speaker talked about communion with God
verses
competence for God.
Communion focuses on everything God is: gracious, merciful, loving, etc., while competence is dependent on me: what I do to earn "spiritual status".
This is something I needed to think about because so many times I simply don't commune with God, I am way too dependent on my abilities to move forward in faith.
All for His glory,
Always <3
