I just have to draw your attention, for a minute, to these pictures. I looked up last years pictures. The red buds have never bloomed when the Bradley Pear does. The pictures of the red buds blooming came at 4/26/11 through May 2nd. The Bradley was already done. April 15th. Can you grasp it? I sure can't.
I chose to do a part two, because I just didn't feel I made my point yesterday. Pardon me for that.
When we talk about inquiring of God and requiring God, it becomes a true pursuit of ALL of Him. We know He is our Light and our Salvation, because His Word declares it. Our part is to love Him so much that we pursue with great persistence . . .Faith. That belief and trust that He really is there when we fall forward into His arms. His arms are that purpose and plan He has for our life. Take Esther for an example. She was a Jew, and she was chosen to be the Kings favored wife. When the whole plot about her people were to be killed came about, Mordecai quieted her comments by telling her what he felt was the purpose for her life. That it was no coincidence that things were in play to save her people. It was God's providence, His plan and His purpose for her to be heard. She agreed and took the mission to tell her King about the plot.
She fell forward into God's arms. She didn't look back. She didn't trust her human
fears. Inquiring of God is seeking Him. Requiring God, is seeking Him in prayer.
It puts you FIRMLY, SQUARELY, in His path for your life. It is fixing your future so it doesn't reflect your past. A Mordecai type individual crossed my path last November and prayed over me (us). Nothing has been the same since. God's providence becomes evident more every day. He is so very real and making Him the center focus of every minute, of every day is quite the adventure. I have had many adventures too! This one is my favorite.
Read Esther.
Happy Spring!
