I need a Word from the Lord. Seriously. I am speaking in two weeks at the women's retreat at Camp Perkins. God has given me the map, I know where I am suppose to go...but my page is blank. The theme is MORE. And looking at my journal, that is what I need, just a little bit more.
I really am not worried about it...in fact I am waiting for God to wake me up one night and set me down at the table in the quietness of the house and let it flow. He does that sometimes. Thank goodness for prayer warriors whom I am sure God will wake up with me and will be sitting around the country at some silent moment and be praying.
But something did strike me tonight as I sit here at Moxie reading the Word. I was reading about Adam, trying to get a good grasp on the Hebrew translation and oh my, what our english misses is incredible.
Genesis 2:7, "...the Lord God formed the man froom the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being."
When God formed the man, the Hebrew says that He squeezed the man from the clay...just as a potter forms his or her creation. God was so deliberate in the creating and then as that lifeless body lay there, God puffed or blew a blast of raw, fresh, strong life into that man.
As I sit here, alive...breathing, I know I need that breath. Though I am yes, alive, I need a blast a raw, fresh, strong life that sees the world that God created through new eyes. Through eyes that are in total relationship with Christ. And as I walk, I want to walk with God beside me...in conversation with me...with me listening. Oh, if I would only listen.
May God do that to you today too. May God puff a blast of life into you and may you walk remembering that every moment God is whispering to you, "Sweet child, that is for you. So is that." Look around and behold His glory.
