Sometimes I need to remember where I was when God found me. He saw me as he saw Hagar and in a way asked, "Where are you going and is that the direction you want to go in?" I decided at that point I wanted to go in His direction, but now I need to daily answer the question, "Whither wilt thou go?" I can easily go head long into life with out thinking where I may be going. Am I going in the direction God wants me to go, or am I aimlessly wandering with no direction?<br /><br />I also was impressed with the fact that God directly spoke to Hagar and even allowed her to give him a name.It shows that God not only speaks to the mature Christian or Spiritual leaders, but to babes in Christ or those that have a simple faith. "Let no man despise thy youth...." I Tim.4:12<br /><br />I also was reminded that I can sit in judgement of Lot turning his tents toward Sodom, but what am I little by little allowing to come into my home and confuse my family? Movies? Books? Games? Things that I've said to myself, "They're not so bad." Lot didn't end up in a prominent place in Sodom in one day. It happened little by little.<br /><br />As Abraham called himself dust and ashes in Gen.18:27, so are we, only God can make us more.MANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08228850902533661294noreply@blogger.com
