Don't get comfortable

The two distinct messages God has implanted in my heart and mind this season: 1. "Don't get comfortable" okay so maaaaybe Im a little comfortable now living in the same location for a whopping 7 years..and same town for 16 years ta boot, a record for this gypsy. BUT when have I ever REALLY been comfortable in all this? God has continuously prepped me for challenges and growth. After this much training, I get it Lord...I'll move where you want me to move. 2."No schemes of man" Its really easy for me to think of ways to plot or scheme when I'm in the middle of a battle, but this theme of "No schemes of man" consistently pops up when I literally am scheming. I heard a sermon a few months ago about a battle between Gideons army and the Midianites (its in Judges 7). Gideons army was thousands big, 32,000 strong. But God didn't want them to boast on their own strength over a victorious battle, so he scaled back the army from 32,000 to 300 men. The battle ended up with the Midianites turning on eachother and killing themselves while Gideons army blew some trumpets and smashed some jars. This is Gods way...thankyou God for always reminding me to trust your ways and not rely on the schemes of man. My flesh will always...always...no matter how often I see your power, goodness and faithfulness at work....I still have a nagging doubt that causes me to turn back to my own foolish schemes of man ways...forgive me and help me to stay weak so I may continuously boast about YOUR strength, YOUR power & your willingness to save. All I want from you is the strength to pray for my enemies. God help me to bless those who curse me. When the storms come you can walk on water...YOU are unsinkable!, give me the faith to trust you 100 percent so I can walk with you. Your daughter, Jen
