My Timing or Focus, was Off.

In order to keep this post, a readable length, I’m going to try to set the scene, by just giving some short bullet points. (Not sure if I want to write an entire book about it, and there would be probably less people who would want to read it. 🙂 )

A Revelation was given to me.

I got Excited!

I had a massive Desire to Share!

I did share, mostly not a problem.

But one occasion, I should have asked, “Father, what do You want for me to share, tonight?” But I didn’t. Instead, I just shared MY latest revelation, without asking the question of, “Father, what do You want for me to share, tonight?” 😦 Did my Heavenly Father want me to share, that revelation, at that time??? …

The results say, …. NO!!!!!

Instead of being carried along, I was carried away. 😦

End of scene setting.

I know that there is a need to keep in step with Our Lord God! I’ve written about it, in many different ways, some of which are listed below.

Don’t Get Carried Away, Instead, Get Carried Along

The Church on the Clifftop

Can you Hear the Beat of the Drums?

So, I know that it matters, and that to there is a need, to keep in step, with Our Lord God Almighty. So why is it that, the moment that I’m given a small revelation, that I then get distracted enough, by that revelation, so that I don’t even ask Our God, “Is it right to share this thought, in this setting?” Even when I’m asking everyone else, “Please bring a thought, that Our Father would like for you to share tonight.”

I was asking others to bring a thought that Our Heavenly Father had given to them to share, whilst I was thinking, “I already know what to bring!” …. ??? I should have asked myself the same question that I was asking everyone else to ask. But I didn’t. I thought that I already had my something to share…. But, was it Our Lord God’s thoughts, to be shared, on this occasion???

I had even shared a picture about a correct word, at the wrong time, can do great damage, with a friend, just recently. So, how is it that I can manage to get it so wrong, by bringing a good word, at the wrong time? All because I didn’t ask myself, (or more to the point, my Lord God), “What shall I share tonight?”

As I’m writing this, I’m kind of thinking, “Aren’t you being a bit harsh on yourself?” But I know that the answer to that one is a resounding, “No.” As I’m very much so, aware that I did get carried away, when I should have been keeping my focus on what, My Lord God, wanted me to keep focused on. Namely, His Thoughts and His Steps, instead of mine.

In a very recent post, I’ve even written…

Will we speak His Words, when they are given to us, or will we prefer our own words, thinking that we know what it is that we want to say? (His words will actually be better.)

It makes me smile, that I’m able to write about a better way to do things, but the question to myself, is, “Am I able to do the things that I write about?” I’m hoping that the answer to that one is a “Yes”, or at least that it will be.

For now, I’ll just have to say,”OK, ball dropped, now try to learn from it, and do better, next time.”

I feel the need to cry out, please help me to try, to not be like the army that kept wanting to keep going back and forth over the same ground, over and over again. But instead, help me to ask the questions of, is it right to share this here and now? Is there a something different that You would like for me to share? Is there a new something to take hold of, or step into? Ultimately, can I please hear Your words and thoughts for what I should be doing, so that I can then follow Your ways, that much better. My Lord God Almighty.
