In Partnership with Elohim

As a person with really bad balance,I learnt during my gym sessions that I needed to develop a method that was going to keep me steady while I lunged.What I found worked perfectly for me, was staying focused on a stationary object as I did my lunges. That way I would be able to walk in a straight line and not look like a dud falling all over the place.

Call me crazy but this got me  thinking about my relationship with God, I came to a very big realisation( This walk with Christ is truly an adventure, you are bound to discover something new at every corner you take). Anyhow as I was saying... I realised that lately the noises had become a little louder, the waves had become more violent and I had become helluva uneasy when it came to certain things in my life. The reason for all of this was because my focus was placed on everything happening around me as opposed to God. I had lost my balance because I had lost sight of my focal point by concentrating on matters that were not of Kingdom business, Oh, oh! All the emotions that I allowed to take over me and the challenges began tossing me around and I was beginning to get " motion sickness". All the stress had taken away the peace I had come to know.

I now know that I have to constantly remind myself when things get shakey of who God is to me. He is the Great I am, He is the creator of all things, the anchor of our souls ( Hebr 6:9), everything becomes alive in our lives through Him. We need to keep our focus on He who is stationary in our lives, He who will bring balance to our lives, He who will keep us steady, that when the waves come, they will merely wash over us. " You rule the raging sea, when its waves rise, you quieten them." ( Psalm 89:9).  Your peace is found in Him, do  not let the circumstances in your life make you lose your bearings, your peace is found in a relationship with Him. You are partners with Jesus Christ ( 1 Cor 1:30), you are not alone, even if you may mess up, He is saying He will get you out of the mess. All you have to do is keep your eyes on Him and trust in His ability. I am not sure if you have noticed that I used the word "Him" a lot here, I did it purposefully because I want you to realise that once you shift focus from "me, me, me" and , make it about " Him, Him, Him" something magnificent happens, as you seek more of Him your worries begin to drown in His unfailing love as He begins to bring peace into your life through His word and works. Trust goes a long way, with no trust there will be no partnership.
 
Honey you were blood bought, you are now part of Christs team, do not let things or people distract you, keep Him  the center of all in your life. 

You are a part of a wisdom filled team, not only are you winning, you are LOVED. *POW WOW*
