Breaking New Ground

What Feels Like the End is often the Beginning.

Have you ever asked God to break the ground?  On my worship walk the song SPIRIT LEAD ME came on. 

All I could do was shout hallelujah at the top of my lungs over and over as God’s crisp air blew on my face. 

I’ve lived decades bound to routine fellowship with God so now to be walking freely in His grace led by His Spirit there’s no words to describe that feeling.

When they sang—my life is an alter let your fire fall...I immediately fell on my knees on the old dirt path. A path I walk often. It was just me and God.

You see I don’t want God to consume me just one day a week but I desire that consuming fire every second of every day.

Since 2014 God has been breaking the ground of my heart. He’s been positioning my heart towards Him and Him alone. Not towards going to church, reading my Bible, being a Good Samaritan, but positioned to loving Him with all my heart. 

Loving Him most. 

And I can honestly write this knowing that I truly love Him more than anything in this world despite my many shortcomings.

As I touched the ground with my hands, I cried out for God to keep breaking the ground.

Hard ground is useless...but tilled, soft ground is like clay in the potter’s hands. 

It’s in the breaking that God is able to prepare, position, and plant us into His perfect will...and more than anything that’s where I want to be.

That’s always been my prayer...Lord, your will not mine. Plant your seeds to sprout in my heart and let it be a Kingdom Harvest.

So as I look to the new thing God is doing in me, in my husband, in our kids, in our home, in our calling...I’m holding on to what is good, and I’m letting go of what is bad.

I’m seeking Him wholeheartedly.

The Lord says, “Forget what happened before. Do not think about the past. Look at the new thing I am going to do. It is already happening. Don’t you see it? I will make a road in the desert. 

I will make rivers in the dry land.”

Isaiah‬ ‭43:18-19‬ ‭ICB‬‬
