Getting Humbled

God has been telling me that I needed to start a spiritual journal perhaps not on a daily basis but regularly. And me being me have been putting it off and putting it off. He has also been telling me that I need to remove myself from weather, the news, my silly games, etc in the morning until after I spend time with Him. That too, I have been putting off. Until this morning. And to be honest, it was because He forced His hand and made me.

I woke up and read my daily devotional first thing, as always, because that was the promise I made to God when I bought it. Then I went and spent a few minutes with Him and headed out to the internet to read the news and stuff. God was still on me about how I needed to spend more time with Him. My reply was that I would but I needed to start slowly. LOL. Right

At that moment, the power went out and He commanded, not asked or suggested but commanded, that I go and spend that time with Him. I did. What choice did I have at that point?

I can't say I got that 'ooey-gooey' feeling you sometimes get when God is working but He was with me. He took the time to make me spend time with Him, and for that I was heartbroken. That the God of the universe, the Creator, the Almighty, had to MAKE me spend the kind of time with Him that He wanted. Lesson learned.
