The Journey Continues: Dec. 17, 2016

I think I’m catching on to something I should have known a long time ago but it’s now starting to make sense.  I was wondering why man’s spirit is never content?  Is this God’s Spirit?  At this point I’m at the tentative conclusion that my spirit is only content when I’m fully surrendered to The Holy Spirit.  My spirit is always reaching out and searching for something more that will satisfy it whether in an emotional way or simply peace–which is an emotional state unto itself.  Things or the state of things is never going to satisfy, only God’s Holy Spirit can bring this rich calm.

Today I’m troubled over a meeting I will conduct Monday night.  It is for our Aslan Ministry.  There is a deep division over a pursuit of involvement.  We’ve been asked to participate with another outreach for trafficked girls that is of a different faith which some on the board don’t feel is right.  Others on the board are wanting to join the pursuit.  I will be handling the conversation and decision in this meeting.  The book, Experiencing God, outlines how to know the Spirit of God’s leading.  I am going to take this as a tool for use.  I would also ask for prayer for each of the members as well as for myself.  God’s leadership is often hard to know when man’s will comes into play–especially when man thinks his will is God’s will.  This is why I’d ask for prayer.

My quartet is singing tomorrow night for the correctional center too.  We have a practice this morning @ 9:30.  I also ask for prayer with this.  These teens are God’s children.  Pray for The Holy Spirit to be well known and received in this time.  We want to be His servants as we go in His Name.  To God be the Glory!
