The good things just aren’t good without Jesus. I came to this realization after I completed some pretty big tasks recently, and didn’t feel much of any sense of accomplishment. My husband said, “but look what you have done”. And I still couldn’t see or find the fullness of joy in it.
I consulted with a friend and I met with the Lord about it. Not too long after I feel like the Lord reminded me “the good things aren’t good without Him”. This helped to shift my heart posture in a way that it’s needed shifted.
I am finding more of a sense of accomplishment when I do whatever I’m doing as unto the Lord. When I do “this task” for Him, or with Him in mind, I feel the fullness of joy I was missing.
It’s easy to lose sight of this, which is why I wanted to post about it. Consider it an alter for me to come back to, to see what the Lord has done.
The same shift is to be done with my eating habits. I have been seeking comfort in food again. It’s a slippery slope because if we aren’t careful, comfort can become an idol. An idol is anything that takes God off the throne of our life.
From the recommendation of a friend, I’ve begun listening to the book “Gods at War” by Kyle Idleman. It talks all about idols. I am sure I will come across more realizations as I read on, but the little that I have already read has been eye opening.
When God is on the throne of my life, everything else can fall into place.
