Day 9

Wellness Check It’s 7:55pm and I get the call that my co-worker has the COVID virus, immediately my mind goes into wellness check mode, was I wearing a mask around her every day, was I wearing it the day before?And, then the thoughts questioning whether or not I have exposed my family? I mean I don’t wear a mask around my family, why would I? Oh boy here we go I thought.
In the midst of all the thinking I hear the words “shhhh, be still, trust Me like you have been”Now the thing about my relationship with God is that He speaks to me as clearly as I would speak to you, so hearing the voice and the message stirred up a sense of peace in me And then the conversation began Doing a wellness check up with God frequently helps me to see where I am at, every turn of my walk Him, how often do I do that though? Truth be told not often enough as many times I get so caught up in “life that I don’t take the time to stop and say Lord ‘ what’s my faith thermometer looking like, and what’s the gauge on my heart towards you?’
This is what God requires from me but I just don’t take the time to commit to it like I Should. As the conversation continued I was brought to how Christ was and even David. They both took time to Commune with God on a regular basis and as such they were both able to carry out the various tasks before them. God showed up in major ways for them both and just as He was for them I have no doubt that He would do the same for me when I commit to checking in on a more consistent basis This is what the narrow walk consists of: it consists of being dedicated enough to want to do and be better and the only way that can happen is when I am focused on checking in with Him. If there are things in me as I am sure there are that needs changing how else will I know if I don’t ask Him
So today as I sit here thinking about my spiritual wellness my prayer is: Lord, search me, search my heart and if there be anything in me that is not pleasing to You please help me change, show me where I fall short and lift me up I pray. My desire is to please you and to walk as You need me to so whatever there is in me that may be affecting that help me Lord to do and be better I pray In Jesus name So Be It
