prayer meeting tonight for me personally i think was pretty good. i haven't been spending enough time with Him lately and have been feeling really distant/far.. never really had time to go in deep. But prayer meeting tonight gave me the opportunity, and i realized what i was missing.. so no more! Gonna start pressing in deeper, His presence is just too good to miss out on.. it felt weird not being in the place where i used to be, and it was rather uncomfortable and made me restless at the same time. i want to return to going to sleep and still feeling His presence around me.
Was reading Hosea today, and i didn't really understand most of it.. mainly the language that was used i guess. Just want to point out a few things that spoke to me..
Hosea 2:8-9
8 For she did not know
That I gave her grain, new wine, and oil,
And multiplied her silver and gold—
Which they prepared for Baal.
9 “ Therefore I will return and take away
My grain in its time
And My new wine in its season,
And will take back My wool and My linen,
Given to cover her nakedness.
May we not forget about what God has given us, and recognize that everything good that we have comes from God! We also have to make sure that what we have been given to us be used for it's right purpose. If not He will take it away.
13 I will punish her
For the days of the Baals to which she burned incense.
She decked herself with her earrings and jewelry,
And went after her lovers;
But Me she forgot,” says the LORD.
Second point, we mustn't get too caught up with things of this world(for me is the holidays and fun/games). And start going after the things that we desire by spending time pursuing it, and in the process forgetting about God.
14 “ Therefore, behold, I will allure her,
Will bring her into the wilderness,
And speak comfort to her.
But it's good to know that God is faithful till the end! even when we ahve gone astray, God's love will still be there. He will bring us into the wilderness(not an easy place), and there speak comfort to us! Why? I'm guessing when we're in the wilderness is when we're more desperate for God? and there we will listen to Him.
