Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

I know this is no great revelation to most of you, but it really is that simple.

I tend to over think, analyse, worry, justify when all I really need to do is look up.

Last night I tore myself away from my blog to go sit and spend some time with my bible. I dug out my bible quote journal and just started reading and taking notes.

I started where I left off last time, in Hebrews, and isn't it amazing that I was reading about perserverance, faith, don't give up, hold on to hope. Of course I shouldn't be surprised, and I'm not really surprised, but I'm certainly grateful that the Lord prompted me to read those passages when I most needed them.

Nothing startling happened. I had no great revelations, or visions, just a feeling of peace.

So there is a lesson for me. Next time I hope it doesn't take me three weeks to pick up my bible, but I had a strong sense that I just didn't want to do it. I need to learn to recognise that for what it is, and pick up my bible anyway. Satan had me convinced that it was just a book, and wouldn't offer any comfort or help, I had even stopped taking my bible to church and reading along with the bible readings.

Lord, thankyou for perservering with me. I pray that in the future I can recognise Satan's interference in my life and look to you to help me overcome it.
