2 Samuel 14:14
I finished reading 2 Samuel this morning and reading it this time around, this verse pleasantly surprised me. It takes on the message of the New Testament where God has already given us life, eternal life, and though we were banished because of our sin, we are now accepted as His beloved children.
Sometimes I take on the burden of trying to change a non-believer's heart or mind; but I forget God's sovereignty and the plan He has for each person. It is so beautiful to know that HE devises ways so that we do not remain estranged. It is so beautiful to know that there is hope where we think hopeless. And it is beautiful to know that we might be a part of the "way" to lead someone to Jesus, but that's all we can do. God is ultimately in control and our prayers must fall in line with His wise and discerning ways in order to see success.

it is so truee
we often forget that God will do things for His glory in His own way
its kinda cool what you mentioned in your blog was what pastor doug talked bout at bethel using exodus
he reminded us that ultimately God will make sure His name get honoured, this is His name, He will defend it.
obviously thats not to say that we should be idle, but do not be discouraged, know that God's delight in us is not in the result, but that we went forward, approached and obeyed!
anyways thanks for your msg, ive a long long way to go to become anywhere close to amazing, haha : )
have a good summer, see you sometime in july august mebbeeee
