Living Words Esther Thompson

For the one that feels like disappearing. For you who feel unseen.... Is there anyplace I can go to avoid your Spirit? to be out of your sight? If I climb to the sky, you’re there! If I go underground, you’re there! If I flew on morning’s wings to the far western horizon, You’d find me in a minute— you’re already there waiting! Then I said to myself, “Oh, he even sees me in the dark! At night I’m immersed in the light!” It’s a fact: darkness isn’t dark to you; night and day, darkness and light, they’re all the same to you.
Psalms 139:7‭-‬12 MSG

Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
Hebrews 5:8 KJV
.

It's very easy to see the temptations outside of us, and all the errors in everything but ourselves. We learn however that recognizing and submitting the enemies in our household (us), gives us room to learn and grow in Christ. Here's your invitation to stop fighting everyone else, and face the one person you've ignored this entire time- yourself.

If you don't know the truth, you'd often find yourself accepting of any seemingly sound or almost correct information you find. God's Word is the truth. But how can it become our reality if we do not stay conscious of it, and confront every other word through it. What is God saying concerning you? What has He said about that situation? What is He saying even right now?

Sometimes it's not perfect enough. Sometimes, we've had this picture in our minds on how that thing should be, that job, marriage, kids, friends, or just whatever... It's hard when our expectations don't reflect our reality. But we just might find that it doesn't take perfection for progress to happen. Sometimes it takes someone just showing up.

What if God asked you to quit your job? What if He asked you to put down the very things that identify you? On this episode I share what that looks like for me, and lessons I've learned through obedience, and how the things that define you, might just be the very thing stopping you from coming into the reality of all that God calls you. I pray it blesses you!
