I have set this as my aim. However, first I must accept the assigned portion and cup given to me in this present moment. Do I believe all conditions of my life are God's ordained choices? Yes. So, be it; May I practice the presence of God.
To see God in everything.
I believe when we concentrate on God's approval, with a teachable spirit, we begin to desire and learn how to "rightly handle" His word in all we do. I am also a firm believer on disciplining our thoughts, and the help memorization can be. Elisabeth Elliot's writings have opened me to see that the more heavenly my thoughts the more faithfully I will perform the meanest of earthly duties and tasks.
I just recently memorized this stanza, and hung it on my wall in my room:
Teach me my God & King
in all things Thee to see,
& what I do in anything
to do it as for Thee
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind."
-Matthew 22:37
To see, know, & experience everything with my Savior today- my prayer, my plea, my Grace given to me.
