IN THE BEGINNING...

Keeping it simple and keeping it real becomes vital in this my walk with Him.

Cutting the fuss and getting to the crux, the juice in this case,  of the matter is important to me. 

I am reading Genesis 1:1- In the beginning God created... and His awesomeness seems to be seeping through.

Hardened over years of disobedience, rising and falling, I need to cut out the noise and set my eyes on Him.

There have been too much repetitions, one could almost lose hope. But if I do, then who would uphold me. Yes, God and God needs me to hang in there. 

I also need to let the thirst to see what He's going to make of me overrule all else. 

So I said it was a new beginning today - this is about the date, nineteen years ago when I gave my life to Christ.

And then by night I was failing again, it seemed. Nothing like my worst nightmare but nonetheless... 

And now, here I am reading 'In the beginning...' on my new study bible. And I know there is hope for me again. I feel alive, fresh, sweet, loved.

He said to mind Him. He's all I want to mind.

What strikes me is His Presence so easily ignored, yet so resplendent in everything we see.

Job 33:4 says, 'The Spirit of God has made me, and the breathe of the Almighty gives me life.' 

How far from such a God can you be? Not far at all I think.

His Presence gets to me. 

I want to sleep on that thought.
