I don't know weather to say... "thank you Lord or I'm sorry Lord" I came home today from work and felt tired. Knowing we were going to go to church tonight, I was already thinking in my head and hoping that my wife would say, "honey, lets just stay home tonight!"
Now I'm sure that I could of came up with a few good reasons to convince her to stay home tonight and she would of probably listened. But I just started asking God to give me strength so I wouldn't be so tired for service.
Needless to say, "we went on our way." Was it a little bit rough? of course it was! I was tired! God's holy medicine didn't kick in yet! lol
So as we pull up to the church, I noticed that the parking lot was looking quite emptier than normal. As we get even closer, we noticed it was quite dark in the building too. Yep, you guessed it... their was no service going on there tonight!
First thing that went through my mind was, "thank you Lord" Now I know that probably wasn't to good of a thought, but you know what? I'm human!! And the one thing I want my readers to see and know is...that I'm real and you can be real here too!!
Here's a thought...
Maybe God just wanted to see if I was going to be faithful and go? Who knows? I do know that God will test our heart, mind and faith. (Jerimiah 17:10) God knew there wasn't any service tonight!
And to end this note, Lord, I am sorry for having those thoughts of excuses, please forgive me Lord. Continue to work in me and mold my heart and my ways to yours. Amen!
God bless,
Dan

What's that we're always being told? Obedience is better than sacrifice? That was totally what I thought of when I read this. I definitely know that feeling though.
