No Revelation without Examination!

I recently went to a Women's Conference and the preacher made the statement, "No Revelation without Examination!" She was referring to reading the Word. About digging deep and studying and how God will give you a revelation, or reveal to you a certain truth. I was like Wow! that is so good and so true.

I have thought alot about that and realized it applies to our whole life. When we take the time to really examine things even in our own lives we will get a revelation about things we need to change or relationships we need to evaluate.

Before I heard this, I had already emptied my heart of everything I could think of. I examined everything I was doing and anything I could do differently. I realized I am not in control of certain things and there are things I can't change and I need to only concern myself with what God has entrusted to me and leave the rest to Him.

Having said all that, I can't say there are not things in my lives and my family that don't touch me in a way that hurts and I wish I could change. But as for me, my relationship with my creator is awesome, my husband is wonderful, I love my children and grandson and all I can do is all I can do. The rest of up to God!
