Happy Truth Bomb Tuesday Friends! I have missed you!

I woke up today knowing TODAY IS THE DAY!

I need to write My Truth Bomb! God has given me a gift and a calling and I must exercise it!

That’s right! The EXCLAINATION POINTS are back!!! Did you miss them?

I took a break from writing My Truth Bombs every week, not because I was discouraged! I didn’t take a break because I didn’t have enough followers on social media. I don’t write My Truth Bombs to gain followers!

I didn’t stop because someone told me to. 

I simply stopped because my “To Do List” had gotten too long.

So, I thought I would take a break and chip away at reducing my “To Do List.”

Long pause…

The more I chipped away at it, the longer it seemed to get! And I woke up this morning, all these months later, and 

I FEEL LIKE I ‘M GETTING LOST IN THE LONG LIST OF “TO DO’S!”

As I rolled out of bed and put my feet on the ground and spoke these practiced words to God, 

“This is the day that you have made, I will rejoice and be glad in it,”

He said to me ,

TODAY IS THE DAY!

WRITE YOUR BLOG!

Have you ever felt like life is a battle? You forge ahead and feel like you have gained a bit ground, just to find yourself not far from where you started.

You get back up again just to get  knocked down. You find that all the ground you seemed to have gained, is lost?

And you ask yourself…

What is this battle I’m in anyway?

What am I fighting so hard for? 

Is it worth it?

I think that Gideon felt exactly like this!

In the book of Judges chapter six we find Gideon hiding.

His “To Do List”

had gotten too big big for him and his “Get Er Done” gumption had got up and went!

Gideon was hiding! Hiding from God!!! He was scared, tired, hopeless and done!

Then God speaks to him through an angel! 

God doesn’t tell him that he’s blowing it!

God doesn’t tell him to get up and get on with it!

God doesn’t say he failed!

God tells him he is a WARRIOR!!!!

Instead of condemning him and making him feel worse than he already feels, God reminds him of the greatest truth of all.

We are not how we feel! We are not even how we act! We are who God tells us we are!

Gideon is a warrior because God has made him a warrior! Gideon does not have the ability on his own strength to be a warrior, but through God and his strength in Gideon, Gideon is a warrior! He can accomplish all of the “TO DO’S” that God has given him to accomplish!

His ability to “Get Er Done,” is not found in his own gumption, but in the strength of the Lord, his God and who God has called him to be!

God has put a call on my life, and I cannot accomplish that call in my own strength! I can only accomplish that call through my obedience and willingness to allow God to make me who he has called me to be!

God has called me to SPEAK HIS TRUTH IN LOVE!

If God is first in my life, then He needs to be at the top of my list! 

God has called me to read His word, pray, and listen to Him and to write and speak His Truth In Love!

I’m going to keep chipping away at my list, no matter how long it gets! 

I’m going to trust God for my “Get Er Done Gumption”when my to do list gets the best of me! 

GOD COMES FIRST! I’m going to fight to keep Him at the top of my list! I’m going to live my life believing and knowing that I am who God says I am!

I AM A DAUGHTER OF THE KING OF KINGS AND IN HIM I CAN DO ALL THINGS!

TRUTH BOMB

DON’T LET THE WORLD, THE ENEMY OR YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE! ONLY GOD CAN DO THAT!

Speak Truth Love
