It's Sunday....so today I'm going to focus on God!
Today's subject is DAYDREAMING.....I read a couple of daily devotional books, they help me to get my day started. The following excerpt is from My Utomost For His Highest, by Oswald Chambers....
"When our purpose is to seek God and to discover His will for us, daydreaming is right and acceptable. But when our inclination is to spend time daydreaming over what we have already been told to do, it is unacceptable and God's blessing is never in it. Daydreaming after God has spoken, is an indication that we do not turst Him."
This can be hard to understand.....knowing when God is talking to you and understanding what to do.
Are our thoughts, God talking to us, to me? Is knowing I should do something and not doing it, going against what God wants me to do? Not trusting Him?
I believe there are different levels to having a relationship with God. The different levels are...
Awareness Level- Knowing there is a God , Learning about God
Acceptance Level- Accepting God, Following God, Listening to God
Action Level- Trusting God, Allowing God to work through us all the time
I think when you reach the Acceptance level, your thought process changes, you analyze things a little more, you make the choice of following God or going with the odds (doing your own thing) and you are concious about what you choose to do. I am currently at the Acceptance level. I've accepted Him and I am following Him and I am doing my best to listen to Him. I strive to be at the Action level.....really be there, really allow that to happen.
I believe that we all struggle through the different levels of our relationship with God. I do a lot of daydreaming....I am seeking God and trying to discover His will for me.
Where are you on your journey with God? Where do you want to be? Happy DAYDREAMING!
