Wholeheartedly

'Caleb and Joshua followed the Lord wholeheartedly'  Numbers 32:12

This is what we are called to do: follow Him wholeheartedly, put our faith and trust in Him, and offer ourselves to do His will.

Psalm 40:1-5
I waited and waited and waited for God. At last he looked; finally he listened.  He lifted me out of the ditch, pulled me from deep mud.  He stood me up on a solid rock to make sure I wouldn't slip.  He taught me how to sing the latest God-song, a praise-song to our God.  More and more people are seeing this: they enter the mystery, abandoning themselves to God.Blessed are you who give yourselves over to Godturn your backs on the world's "sure thing," ignore what the world worships; The world's a huge stockpile of God-wonders and God-thoughts.  Nothing and no one comes close to you!  I start talking about you, telling what I know, and quickly run out of words.  Neither numbers nor words account for you.


Sometimes it's difficult to trust God, especially when things seem so impossible or difficult, but remember the times He delivered us, the numerous times.  God is faithful and will listen and save us.  He is unchanging, He can't help but save us, it is His nature.


'Before you talk, listen. Before you react, think. Before you criticise, pause. Before you give up, try again.'
