It is funny how we can be doing several different things, but only one thing is on one’s mind regardless of the activities. This was the case yesterday. I had my devotional time and quickly went out and picked 2 gallons of raspberries before heading to Boise for my dental cleaning. Following that I had the lunch meeting with our senior pastor. (This meeting is what I’d written about yesterday). It went very well. Following that meeting I came home and picked the last gallon of berries and then made 5 more batches of jam. This is quite a bit of activity but during all this time the only prominent thing on my mind was learning to rely on God’s Power within me (us). How do we fully surrender to God’s Holy Spirit which is represented so well by ones like Paul, Peter, John, James and so many more?

It is incredible to me that God made the way for us to come to Him so simple. The more intimate however, that I know God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit, the more I recognize my own flesh and the ugliness of its selfishness. All of this is why I (we) need a Savior first and foremost, but then we also need the Lord. Only Jesus can keep us on the path of obedience with God’s Holy Spirit. All of this is just so AMAZING!
