Yesterday was a pleasant day getting home after a great weekend with Kathy’s family.  As I got up this morning and had finished my Bible reading I began to journal.  I found myself questioning what I’ve been doing “for God” and wondering just how much was for Him and how much was just for me.  It was discouraging to say the least.  As I finished journaling I felt God was telling me to stay the course and do my Experiencing God lesson/s.  I had begun to do one of them while in Wallowa, OR with Kathy’s family but it got interrupted and I never returned to it.  I ended up this morning completing three of them and with good purpose.  Everything about the lessons was about obeying God’s commands in our lives which will result in having a more intimate relationship with God from the obedience.  I thought it was no wonder Satan was wanting me to be discouraged about God’s work in my life and what He has me working on.  Satan doesn’t want God glorified and he sure doesn’t want me building a more intimate relationship with God my Father.

After getting these three lessons done I started to work with the 7-Pillars lesson which is coming tomorrow night.  In the middle of it I realized I’d never completed my blog this morning.  I usually do it as soon as my devotions are done.  I realized that God didn’t want me writing this message until I was re-grounded in Him and His purposes for me.  OK, now I can go into today knowing whatever I do is for God’s reasons.  To God be all Glory and to Him all Glory be given!  I love our Father.  He is a Good, Good Father.
