I remember I used to get discouraged by my son who acted out EVERYWHERE we went.
The grocery store
Friend’s houses
In my house
At the park
On the plane

You get the picture. His sin was so visible. I would measure the impact I was having on him as a mom by what was SEEN, oh gosh did that make me emotional, cause it was looking BAD.

But, how wrong was I?

Haven’t you realized, Mikella? What is seen is deceptive, what is seen can easily be attributed to the work of human hands, but the real power is in the hands of the unseen God, it is what is being worked out in the unseen recesses of his little heart that truly matters.

The power to change my child’s heart did not lie within me, it was not being worked out within the walls of my home by reading more books and laying down more rules. Don’t discount that the TRUE power is through my continual obedience to surrender everything to Him. It is through FAITH that I KEEP going despite the challenges because the real POWER to truly change my child’s heart lies directly in the hands of God-so I am going to trust and PRAY that God has his way, not my way.

So, keep working mama, keep being diligent, don’t for a second think God’s work won’t completely surpass your wildest expectations, and wash over your meekest attempts at parenting with His never ending GRACE on your child’s life.

I think we are more focused on the I WILL statements as a culture than the I AM statements. But, if we don’t know who Jesus IS, the I AM, then how do we know who we are IN HIM, and through him and what he will’s for us? Pay attention to the pride of Satan’s, “I WILL” statements.
Satan’s downfall shows us his desire for self-exaltation, pride, and making everything about his kingdom,
Isaiah 14:13-15 (NIV)
1. I will ascend to the heavens;
2. I will raise my throne above the stars of God
3. I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.
4. I will ascend above the tops of the cloud
5. I will make myself like the Most High.

Satan had 5 I WILL statement’s in Isaiah.
God had 5 I WILL statements in Exodus.
Jesus had 7 I WILL statements in the Gospels
Jesus had 7 I AM statement’s in John.
As a culture, are we more obsessed with what we WILL do, than what God will do? How can we know unless we are familiar with the I AM’S and I WILL’S of Jesus? “I will make you fishers of men” (Matt 4:19)
“I will give you rest” (Matt 11:28)
“I will keep you.” (John 6:37)
“I will love you.” (John 14:21)
“I will do what you ask in my name.” (John 14:14)
“I will come again and see you again.” (John 14:3)
“I will send the [Holy Spirit] to you.” (John 16:7)

Oh friends, when we get to know the I AM, than the 7 I WILL’s and I AM’S in John and Matthew come into perfect view. "I am the bread of life.” (John 6:35)
"I am the light of the world.” (John 8:12)
“I am the door of the sheep.” (John 10:9)
"I am the good shepherd.” (John 10:11)
“I am the resurrection and the life.” (John 11:25)
“I am the way, the truth, and the life.” (John 14:6)
“I am the true vine.” (John 15:1, 5)

Today, revel in knowing the GREAT “I AM”
I don’t want to be so caught up in my own, I WILL’S that I forget to savor the sweetness of knowing HIM, the I AM.

The more we focus on the I AM the clearer we become on the I WILL. #chasingsacred

I look at my three boys every night and I think. Oh child, you might travel the world, you might do big things, you might go far… But, what I can truly tell you is this: If you give the Holy Spirit the chance, and spend time in the Word, oh how much you will GROW. Move towards change.

The definition of theology: the study of the nature of God and religious belief. (dictionary.com)

Read and be encouraged but don’t ever substitute Instagram for your Bible! The voices on here are loud, and there are a lot of opinions! Lots are good, and some are not! It is your duty as a believer to research your teachers and hold them to the standard of scripture INCLUDING myself! Now, go open that BIBLE!!!! #notperfect #stilllearning #chasingsacred #ministryminded #ministry #dailydevotionals #soundtheology #truth #doctrine
