The White Horse

"Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in the righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On His robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.

Rev. 19:11 - 16

So here I sit - reading all of everyone's posts.... just magnificent, and I find myself frustrated with myself. I lack many contributions due to excuses and things in the way, but I hate that. I hate that I see myself lose a passion in one place of community to put it in another. I have lacked my discipleship book through leaving it in someone's car, I've taught for the past 2 and a half weeksish, and I've been working hard to create community here.... but man, my heart needs to be stretched - I need to need God more! I've heard it said before that often we lack the full pursuing of God because we merely don't see how big of a deal He is. Clearly written right here in Rev. is a big powerful awesome God. I need the Lord of lords King of kings to stretch me! To show me again and again how to make faith and works combine - not teeter totter - with a faith then a work then a faith.

My heart wrestles restlessly. My teeter tottering habits get exhausting with each little push.

Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?

Galatians 3: 2 - 3

I ask myself these questions over and over again this morning... and Yes! yes I do! I have been going through Galatians while I lacked my D to E book, yet felt disappointed in myself for not being in the scripture "I was supposed to be in." But did God call me out! I cannot define my "success" in following God based on the mere actions of writing in a blog. Yes the discipline factor is a must, but following God and reading His word in general are the greater good!

This is what God has spoken to me and am I convicted. I feel like a dancing fool! Dance with me :)
