Dad life
This weekend my wife Kristin went to a Worship Conference. So.. that means Avery's (my little girl) life is in my hands. I'm responsible to change the diper, make the bottels and keep her on schedule. Avery usually gets 1 last bottle to drink before she goes to bed. Bed time came and it was time for me to stop playing with Avery and go and make her last bottle. As I was making the bottle for her, she began to cry. Avery couldn't see me... but I was making her bottle for her. Her dad was already preparing what she needed!
Then it hit me... How many times do I complain, worry or fret about things I need in my life when all along my heavenly father is already making the exact thing I need. He knows what we need and when we need it. I admit... I'm a BIG BABY sometimes! I worry about things. And sometimes I even find myself complaining. This really opened up my eyes to how much my heavenly father loves me. And how much he loves you as well.
Luke 11:11-13
11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for[f] a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

Even if you don't Save me....
I was in prayer earlier this week and God told me to turn to Daniel 3:17-18.
The 3 hebrew boys were standing in front of King Nebuchadnezzar about to be thrown into the fire because they would not bow down to him. And they made a statement that has really impacted me.
Daniel (NIV)
17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us[a] from Your Majesty’s hand. 18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”
I think we have become a culture that has been serving God with strings attached. I have prayed this prayer before "God I'll serve you if you do this...."
"I'll sow a seed only if you give me a harvest."
What ever happened to serving God just because. Taking personal gain out of the equation and living for God because he is worthy. Truth be told- if God stopped blessing me today I'm still in his debt. I think God wants to see our hearts. Will we serve him when we are standing by the fire? In good times and bad. And if he doesn't save us or help us... will we still worship him? This is a deeper level of surrender.
Lately I have been bringing my dreams and everything that makes me who I am and laying it before God. And asking him to make me into who he wants me to be! God you can have it all!
God asked Abraham for his Issac.
Pure worship is giving up our lives expecting nothing in return. Worshiping just because we are grateful for what Jesus has done!
Even if you don't save me from the fire.. I'm still going to worship you!
