Treatment Starts

Today is the first treatment day of my 3rd Cycle. I was feeling so much more positive today. Thank the Lord! There where very people at the treatment rooms today, I think a lot of people are on Holiday.

And so guess what....cant sleep....so I'm catching up on my blogging...I think I'll take a sleeping tablet, to help me get through the night. The strange thing about the treatment is that the quarterzone keeps you awake, I guess its a good time to get things done, one seems to have more energy...

I found this amazing scripture about sleeping, Psalm 127;

EXCEPT THE Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; except the Lord keeps the city, the watchman wakes but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to take rest late, to eat the bread of [anxious] toil—for He gives [blessings] to His beloved in sleep.

This scripture is so amazing, if we can realize, that unless 'the Lord builds the house' we labour in vain. Does this not apply to our every day lives, in everything we do. Don't we find ourselves laboring and toiling, without Godly purpose, without the Lord, out of our own selfishness, pride and desire for the things of the world. We get ourselves into things where perhaps He didn't want us to be, mainly because we made the decision, or did things without considering what God wants us to do.

But then where the Lord builds the house! Wow! This is where we find fulfillment and purpose in Him. Without the Lord leading us, in His will for our lives, we labour in vain, rising up early, sitting in the traffic for an hour each way. To find ourselves in anxious toil. I think this is stress! The stress of meeting our financial commitments, the stress of living beyond our means, the stress of being kept captive in the world system.

So the challenge is to get ourselves to the place, where we experience the Lords leading in our lives, out of seeking and fellowshipping with Him. In this place, our yoke's are light, we hear his voice, we understand His will for our lives. He leads us step by step, with His Word being a light unto our feet. A light that can only show the next couple of steps. Being in His will, He gives [blessings] to His beloved in sleep. Its as if being in the Lords rest, He provides for us, we don't have to toil in our own strength.

Oh Lord, how so often we miss Your will for our lives. The pull of the world is so strong, we are distracted from You. Please revive our hearts, in fellowship and in your Word that we should kindle the flame that is within us. Walk the narrow road you have called us to.

2 Tim 1:6 - That is why I would remind you to stir up (rekindle the embers of, fan the flame of, and keep burning) the [gracious] gift of God, [the inner fire] that is in you by means of the laying on of my hands [ with those of the elders at your ordination].
