On Sundays I’m going to start blogging my notes from the chapel service.
I have been convicted that my worship depends on my heart attitude. I must make a conscious choice to worship.
As a part of my worship, I am beginning the discipline of taking notes during the chapel service in an effort to apply God’s teaching to my life.
The sermon this Sunday came from the passage Genesis 32:22-31 where Jacob wrestles with God.
The biggest lesson I took away from the sermon today was that our walk of faith involves strife and struggle. There will always be struggle in our walk, BUT there will also be blessing in the midst.
CH Brown asked the question, “Have you struggled with Jesus”?
Well, yes, I have struggled.
Lately it seems like everyday is a struggle.
Life is hard and lonely.
And I am tired.
Very tired.
But I know that there are blessings.
Everyday.
Blessings in the midst of my struggles.
Blessings when I am tired.
Blessings when I am lonely.
God is faithful to me. He has always been and will continue to be.
Right now, I am not feeling very thankful for my struggle.
I am thanking him for His blessing in the midst of my struggle.
Nancy says
It is hard to be thankful when you’re struggling. But, that is what brings us closer to Him.
Erin says
I love that post! I love being a stay home mommy, but it can be lonely and tiring. But we just have to remember to look at all that God has blessed us with! Thanks for the reminder!
