Overwhelmed...in a Good Way

God is showing me so much right now and I feel overwhelmed. This overwhelming is actually very exciting and joyful for me...not only that God would have so much to say to me, but that I am actually listening, I tend to be a little ADD when I don't grasp things right away. If it doesn't come all at once...which is normally how I want it...I abandon it for more immediate gratification. But the Lord is making me wait for every element and as it unfolds, it is so beautiful I can't imagine pulling away...pray for me.

The other day at the gym I was riding the bike and reading in my New Testament Commentary. I had wanted to continue in Song of Songs, but for some reason I grabbed the wrong book, which of course ended up being the right book. As I read in Ephesians, the Lord showed me a wonderful new twist to all He's been showing me, not in Song of Songs, but in Samuel. He's showing me three or four things right now and yet, they are all becoming one. Such is the full counsel of God. But I became so overwhelmed I had to stop, close the book and just pray. I told Him this is too big for me and that He will have to do it. And I know He will...in His time and for His glory. Praise His Name.

God wants to talk to you the same way. And there will be times it will be so overwhelming you'll swoon with delight. Isn't that funny...women don't swoon any more. That's too bad. I'm rather enjoying it. Swoon with me! Grab your Bible and ask God what He wants to speak to your heart today. He is sure to blow you away! His Word is one long love letter, but left unread, you'll never know the fullness of the greatest Love of your life.
