Created to Awaken, Called to Abide Series
AWAKEN -- I am whole for God made me His very own (WORKMANSHIP)
ASK -- Who am I when over-thinking, keeping busy, sarcasm and/or suspicion reside in my being? What lies does such behaviour expose? What desire is lacking? (security). How does passive-aggressiveness pretend to satisfy that need?
Gideon was called to rescue Israel, but he was hiding, DOUBTING his own strengths. God came to him with REASSURANCE, saying, “The LORD is with you, O mighty warrior,” but he still asked God for signs to confirm his leadership. (SUSPICION) .Gideon later gathered an army, but God reduced it to a seemingly small, insufficient source for victory. Gideon was AFRAID to go ALONE against the enemy's camp, so God provided a man and an interpretation so He would know GOD would win the battle for him (TRUST). From WORRIER to Warrior! Judges 6-7 (BELONGER)
TRUTH
ALIGN -- Where holy courage replaces inner confusion. (I am strong).
I am enough, (I am wanted) I do enough, (I am loved) I am more than enough. (I am never alone, I am trusting)
I embody reality (not ideals). (I lay down the need for certainty, I am at ease)
SACRED PEACE
ADORE -- Where God is perfect love
I accept God’s steadfast presence
I allow God’s blessed assurance
I admire God’s everlasting faithfulness
FAITH
ABIDE -- Where “Christ in me” rules. (STEADY)
Who I am becoming…(day by day). Fearlessly COOPERATIVE!
"For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline." - 2 Tim 1:7
