The GOD of the whirlwind

Life changes ~ this cannot be controlled, but can only be embraced.

We may not want change, we may be content with things just as they
are... but something happens to change our lives and our thoughts.

Sometimes the changes are slow, barely noticeable... and other times they come as a whirlwind. 

The whirlwind hit my life this fall.  It shook me to the foundation of my faith.  I have read my Bible for 32 years, and never experienced a walk with GOD like I am experiencing now. 

I have read the words of the Bible over and over again....  but they were not my reality. I thought they were.  I really thought they were.  I thought I trusted God. But His truth was not my core.  His words were not the foundation of my innermost being.  I thought they were.  I was very much mistaken.   

The changes I have endured, suffered and embraced are hard to describe.  I have been yanked from the clothesline, turned inside out and shaken so hard that my insides tremble.  My very being has changed.  Every little piece of lint of sin in my pockets is being shaken loose.  Every day I repent of one more thing the LORD GOD shows me I have been doing.  Every day I see new mercies and truths as I sit at His wonderful feet.  Every day I am changing from glory to glory into the daughter GOD desires me to be.  Each step is a decision.  I consciously must choose GOD over all that I have ever thought, known, or been. 

No longer is the whirlwind my focus.  The deepness of GOD is the treasure I seek.  My soul can barely grasp the wisdom and the strength of I AM. 

I can say with Paul, that I will glory in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ will rest upon me.
