On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

layers

Listening to the radio while I work.




I'm listening to a program where they are talking about a relationship with God. Yesterday another program was talking about how people approach God. You know, like He is their best friend instead of Creator of everything.


 


I've often struggled with that. Because I do talk with God like I talk with a friend.


 


While I was talking with Him last night it came into my mind about when Jesus was crucified. The curtain in the temple was torn from the top to the bottom. Which represents the blockage between us and God being torn so that we can approach Him. Before that time only the High Priest could come before God.


 


And then my mind went to Adam and Eve. God created us so that we could be in relationship with Him. It was us who screwed that up. So, I'm going to still talk with Him but pay more attention to how I approach Him. I am going to trust that Jesus is interceding for me and that the Holy Spirit is praying so that God is hearing what He should.


 


After all of that I was just in awe about how God makes it so that we are protected - so many layers.
