Hey guys, sorry to not post earlier about this, but back on Oct 21st i was really wrestling with some stuff with God. He ended up giving me Psalm 96 & then Psalm 102:12-22. I was sure that it went with the year of the Lord's favor stuff...
Then tonight (as many Sunday nights recently) I couldn't go to bed, though flagrantly tired, because I'm just eating up the Word... so many passages from the past jumping out at me.. it's like the most starved sheep giving full room to feed.. and suddenly my eyes fall on this passage, one that has never struck me before at all, but strikes me now..
"As God's fellow workers we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain. For he says,
'In the time of my favor I heard you,
and in the day of salvation I helped you.' I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation." -II Corinthians 6:1-2
I seriously got the chills when reading this verse, and thought I should share it with you. The day of salvation part seemed strange to me, but I think I'm getting another message from that, which goes with some stuff I've been holding back on God about.. things that I'm sure He wants to change in me, but I am too stubborn & prideful to give up and work with Him about.. today when I was being really blah about it all, He reminded me of some lines from a song that keep sloshing through my head, "I got dirty hands,/ I got dirty feet/ From all the things/ I can't repeat./ I talk all the day,/ Of how I want it to be/ But it's my own fault/ That I'm not free." (The Elms) See, He's already set me free, right? So that I'm still walking around in chains is really my deal.. but this is it, today can be the day of salvation..
Honestly, I still don't know how things will turn out.
