Do what He's Blessing

It wasn’t my idea to write this blog.  While praying about teaching a class, the idea to write mini-lessons as blog posts dropped into my spirit.  I thought I would write, have others edit.  I wouldn’t have a timeline so my efforts would make it to the blog when they were finally well-written. That was my plan.

As I started writing, the Holy Spirit gave me His plan.  I was to post often and immediately – just put the ideas out there. So what if the wording and grammar were rough, I could fix it later if at all. My ego was not allowed to be involved in this blog.  I was not to include other people’s stories in my posts.  I wasn’t to teach and certainly not preach.  I was to briefly relate stories of revelatory moments I had experienced. I wasn’t even to comment on my revelations. The Holy Spirit, knowing the needs of each person reading, would do that.

So recently I hit the Publish button imagining the type person who could benefit from reading the post. In a moment of misplaced piety, I asked, “Lord, please bless this blog post…” He interrupted me with, 

“Don’t ask Me to bless what you do;
      ask to do what I’m blessing.”

(Have I mentioned that I LOVE THIS LIFE!)
