Week One Part 2 - Day Five: End of Day

We’re at the end of week two, and if you’re keeping up it’s Friday night.

If you’re here, you’re completing the circle for another day. Good job.

Let’s take a minute to reflect before we hit the lights.

  1. Survey your week. What are the take-aways? What sticks out?
    1. Register those feelings and thoughts with God.
    2. Also think about visiting the blog site and registering those feelings with some of your co-conspirators.
  2. Were there any experiences or thoughts this week that might qualify as God trying to get your attention?
  3. End your day by praying this: “Guide us waking, O Lord, and guard us sleeping; that awake we may watch with Christ, and asleep we may rest in peace.”
  4. Lights out!

I'm really starting to get into the rhythm of this (or cadence, as Ed called it), and am really excited about the consistency with which I am remembering God throughout my day. On the other hand, ever since I asked God to show me what my doubts were, I've been having THE WORST nightmares...waking several times a night, driving Neil crazy while I make sure that someone didn't just break in the house, or freaking out because I didn't get something done or was late for something... So while He's answering that prayer in a strange way - showing me that I don't fully trust Him enough to give up my worrying about all kinds of crazy scenarios - I'm ready for Him to shift gears and also answer the prayer that I may rest in peace. Looking forward to this next week. The study is out of this world awesome so far.

As rational Greek minded people we look at cause and effect. With God we tend to think A+B=C. If A) God loves me and B) I am good enough then C) my life will be good. So, when things don't go write either A) God is holding out (most of us don't go there) or B) We're screwing up (most of us are all over this one). The truth is that there is another VERY important variable. Satan. We must remember that it's not just us and God; we have an ENEMY (1 Peter 5:8-9). Our enemy loaths us and will do anything, whatever it takes, to seperate us from God. Attacking us in the middle of the night is one example. Talk to me about this ... we've had experience here and for those who have been at Gateway for a while remember what happened when the church started praying about "Up To Something Good"? There was a lot of attack - sickness, marriage issues, job loss, etc. It's not coincidece Jen it's our enemy.
