My Lord,
I wrote this yesterday and as I read back over it this morning, I clearly heard you say, "It was meant to show you my love and to lead you to repentance."
Written 1/21/15
Father, today I was reading Gospel Wakefulness during my lunch break and you revealed something to me as you always do.
It came to light, that all those years I spent working overtime were virtually meaningless.
There was no great need nor was there a crisis or health concern but just a fear of the unknown.
You literally sustained my life, my lifestyle and provided my every need. The money was an idol, plain and simple...the money was my idol.
I worked overtime for many, many years. At the end of that long season of my life, there was nothing to show for it except for material possessions.
There was no significant savings nor were there any CD accounts or retirement investments.
Looking at my life today comparable to the years past, I stopped working overtime in the year 2010 and I have been in your loving care without a need or a want.
So amazing to me that I have lived from September 2010 to present which is January 21, 2015, without overtime and I am just fine!
Psalm 23 is so true, "The Lord is my Shepherd and I lack #nothing!"
Without you (as my Savior and Lord over my life) I made hundreds of thousands of dollars, and with you, I'm on a fixed income "so to speak," and I have everything that I need or want, and so much more!
"Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you." (Psalm 73:25 NIV)
Eternally yours
