Who Would Want To

And who may stand in thy presence when once thou are angry? Psalm 76:7 As a man built on self sufficiency my biggest issue before Christ is to be constantly broken in spirit. I have been taking care of my self since I was fifteen. Always one to be a saver I was the one to give when my single parent mother needed help. I bought her a better mattress when I was sixteen because her back was hurting. When the washer died I took out a loan against my savings account at seventeen to create a good credit rating. I have been self-employed for thirty three years. So often I want to rise up and take over a situation. It is in this trained upbringing that I have to surrender my self-will to Christ. I cannot remain hungry, thirsty and eager for God any other way. But I have come to realize that I don't want to be in God's presence and face His wrath by trying to do anything without Him. God really doesn't care it has taken me all these years to stay in a surrendered state. But I do know He is going to continue to bring us back to what we rebel in until we learn submission. I no longer want to subject myself to His wrath so I will surrender all. I don't want God's anger to be in my world today. So of course I am going to do what He says. I have found that the weight of regrets is too heavy to bear. Now, my eyes are fixed on being a blessing and doing His will. As a child trusts His father and takes hold of his hand, I will trust my Father and live by His commands. One regret can't brake the heart or stop our walk indeed. But it is the regret of multitudes that makes our Father bleed. When I obey each and every day I will not taste regrets. The peace and love our Father brings will always be heaven sent.
