Reading and praying and trying to practice the whole idea of Walking with God has pointed out one huge glaring flaw in my spiritual life. And, that is, I just don't set aside enough time to improve the two-way communication with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Some church teachings encourage us to tithe 10%, but yet I don't seem to spend even 10% of my time in fellowship with Jesus. In order NOT to get discouraged with thoughts of falling short in this area, I just look back at all the obvious times God has been active in my life. Sometimes I KNOW beyond a doubt he's speaking to me and he's showing a clear path of which direction to take, whether it's financial, personal relationships, business, etc. I hear him, I feel him, and I just I know it's him. At other times I can't see his involvement. But, during these cloudy periods, only after a significant period of time has passed am I able to look back and say, "Oh, I see, he was actually there the whole time advising me. all along the way." As for the near future, I'm excited to see what God has to tell my wife and I in regards to some major financial decisions we need to make. We've acknowledge that any financial situations we have (good or bad) are really his to deal with. So, we lay it all before him to make the right decisions. In the end, somehow and some way, it will glorify him. Therefore, our next steps are pray, listen, then act.
