I Blog For Him!

I woke up early today and without even looking out the window, (looking out the window is usually the first thing I do when I wake up and the last thing I do before I go to sleep at night) I headed for my computer and I turned it on. Another day, another blog…sometimes I wonder, “what’s the point of it all?” I spend countless hours at the computer thinking of new topics to write about. I agonize to find ways to spark some interest in my hand-full of followers but I can’t seem to break through the barrier of the unknown. I can’t help but wonder, “Am I really reaching anybody out there?” “Is this worth striving for?”

Well, I got God’s version of a slap on the wrist today while I was wallowing in self-pity and sinking in self-doubt. He grabbed my thoughts and redirected my gaze toward Him. He made me take a hard look inside of my soul and reminded me that His purpose for this ministry is not “my” personal fame. He didn’t put me on the path of becoming a Christian blogger as an ego booster to myself. He did it so I could be used by Him for His purposes and for His heavenly plan.

I have left my dreams of becoming a writer get on the way of the real purpose of my writing: to give Him glory! I cannot be discouraged if my ministry doesn’t grow as exponentially as I would like it to do. I better put my glasses back on and focus my sight for I am not blogging for my own purposes but for His.

Today I pray that with every struck of the keyboard, the words that spill over the electronic pages of my word processing program may come from His inspiration and from the promptings of the Holy Spirit. That is my goal and I claim it back today.

Lord, I know that “my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways.” (Isaiah 55: 8) Your goals might differ from mine also, but I know that you have called me to write these meditations even if no one reads them for I know I blog for You, Lord.

I lift up my eyes and look out the window by my desk. The heavens and all the earth are sure full of your glory, Lord. 

I praise Him today, because today I blog for Him!
