Day 39

So I've been on this "Abide Journey" for 40 days now. This has become more of just having time with my Savior each and every day then worrying about how long I'm doing it for. There have been many times I start out on quiet times and really on fire for Christ, keep it up for a week or so and then slowly go back in the habit of not having personal time with Him. This Abide Challenge was just what I needed and this blog I'm keeping to keep me accountable. Whatever time I get with my Savior I will cherish and strive for more each day. Might not be what I desire at the time, but I will make the effort more and more so that I may walk daily with Christ and live for Him each and every day. I pray that for those reading my blog on a regular basis don't look at the number of days but to look at what God has been teaching me and long to abide with Him daily as well!

Longing for a attitude and heart like Mary in her song of praise when she was chosen to be the mother of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the Savior to the nations.

Luke 1:46-56
 And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant. For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;  for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; he has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate; he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever."

She was not expecting for any of the events to happen let alone her to be called blessed by many generations. I want to have that same attitude when the Lord places in my life something that I am not expecting. He has a plan for everything and uses the weak to lead the strong and those who aren't able to on their own so that He can have all the glory.
