For the past few months I’ve been telling myself “Christina, you really need to go to church.” I would plan on going but then Sunday morning would come and my flesh would win every time! I would sleep in and say “well maybe next Sunday I’ll make it.”
This past weekend I was blessed with an invitation and tickets to the “Women of Faith Conference” at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. I initially declined the invitation because I had homework to do and a class project I had to have ready by Monday. With a little persistence from my friend, she finally convinced me to go. I have to be honest my flesh did not want to go. I wanted to go home and relax start working on my project and do whatever else happened to come up. Something inside me said “No Christina, you need to go.” So, I went and all I can say is WOW! God knows exactly what He is doing. I was blessed and encouraged with great messages from wonderful people God is using. He used this conference to reach my spirit that had been slumbering for quite some time now. While I was sitting at this conference listening to these speakers and enjoying the praise music I said to myself “What have you been doing with your time? You have so much more to offer. Why are you wasting your time on things that are not going to edify and lift others up?” I realized right then and there I’ve been wasting such precious and valuable time slumbering in the flesh instead of awake in the spirit. The second day of the conference I heard a worship song that has always been dear to my heart “Shout to The Lord” there is a line in this song that has been a comfort to me because it reminds me that no matter what or who may come and go in my life “nothing compares to the promise I have in YOU”, Jesus my Savior.
When you feel that things and people have let you down or not fulfilled a promise or commitment they said they would. Remember that NOTHING COMARES TO THE PROMISE YOU HAVE IN HIM. Nothing or no one can ever fulfill your need or complete your life like HE can.
