God Knows Best

I was headed to bed last night around 12:30am when I felt like I should get in the Word. Well, by the time I actually got around to doing anything, a few seconds later, I felt God speaking to me. At least I had message that I began writing and this is it. I think it is powerful and definitely prevalent to me (some point very specific and some general) and probably to you since you are reading this. This is how I wrote it down, so it is fragmented. 

GOD KNOWS BEST
         What I am pursuing is not what I really want. 
Complacency
Not taking thoughts captive
Not being deliberate and persistent 
Not saturating my soul with the Word, 
which gives life abundant, because it is energy fueled by hope
Destiny is marked by little things
Faithfulness is in steps
I am in spiritual puberty
My spiritual hormones are out of whack and I feel helpless
There was a time when I was a child and I was growing and enjoying my spiritual life, but that time is coming to an end, I will need to press in and maintain my relationship
I am about to gain responsibility
Responsibility
In secular and sacred, however, in a way there is no such seperation, because God owns all
The Kingdom of God is advancing and is everywhere 
Once I walk with God spiritually, the rest will follow 
I am a prince and a warrior 
God is King and I am heir
He has the Kingdom and I am a steward
He is the Fire and I am the flame
I spread the fire and I am the image of God
I am powerful in Jesus 

GOD KNOWS BEST
Yet he shares with me
GOD KNOWS BEST
I am a FRIEND of God
GOD KNOWS BEST
I will not fall too hard
GOD KNOWS BEST 
The kingdom of God is at hand
GOD KNOWS BEST
Faith is knowing 
GOD KNOWS BEST

    Boy, this is certainly the heart (to me) of what you wrote. There is great wisdom in this statement. I went through a period about 8 years ago just like this. My brother told me, "This 'carefree' dependence won't last forever and basically you need to learn now how to feed yourself and discipline yourself to maintain it."

    I wish I listened to him. A few years ago things kind of broke down for me in this area. It's just been over the last few months have I begun to apply this principle. I think Paul said it. We walk out our own salvation with fear and trembling.

    I did not have the wisdom you seem to have in this regard! I pray that God would keep Himself close to you as you remain in the Word. I know we don't know each other, but I'm encouraged by you! Thanks

    Blessings
    Chris

    Wow Tim. I love you and how God is working in your life! In all honesty, I feel like the Lord is now leading me through my spiritual childhood NOW, despite having believed for so long...reading this has helped me and encouraged me so much! Thank you so much for preparing your brother and speaking the truth!
