Homeless?
Sorting through my head garbage.
Clearing the temple.
That’s what I have been doing since 2006.
Physically I have been homeless since July 2, 2019.
Since August 7, 2019, I have been living in a shelter
located in Flint, MI.
Being homeless within my own temple is the worst.
Lately I’ve been reading Job.
Father has used our story, the
Bible, to guide me out of my “worldliness” and through my spiritual wilderness
all through the last thirteen years.
Job has been used repeatedly.
This time Father is using Job 30.
In Job 30, Job is speaking of his
anguish in the situation he is faced with and how others are treating him.
What Job is not understanding is
that God, Father, has allowed Satan to test him. It is how God is perfecting Job.
The only way to clean out the
temple or get Satan out of our home or to get through the head garbage is to
face our fears.
Job still places value on what
others think of him.
What God wants is for Job to put
nothing before him within his own temple or…for Job to be a good high priest in
his own temple or home.
While we are still here on earth
that is what God wants from us too.
This is the only way that we can
be good high priests and faithful servants to the Father.
Christ Jesus shows us this by
facing his biggest fear too.
What was Christ Jesus’ biggest
fear? Read Matt 26:39-44.
Christ Jesus’ biggest fear was
taking on God’s wrath for us. He prayed
three times, begging his Father not to require him to feel all that wrath for
us.
In the end Christ Jesus did what
his Father required of him. He overcame
his fear and returned to his, and our, Father, showing us the way by his
example.
The ultimate example for us to
follow.
With Job 30 and my big brother’s,
Christ Jesus, example to follow it’s time for me to overcome this gut
wrenching, literally, fear of what others may
think of me.
This is the only way to make sure
that my home is clear and to ensure that I am a good high priest and faithful
servant to my Father.
It’s too personal is just an
excuse for not facing that fear.
What’s your biggest fear?
Ask him for yourself and see what
he says and shows you.
God love you too. You were created in his image. He wants to be your Father.
