Memory Verse:
-Eccl 5:4&5-
"When you make a vow to God, do not be late in paying it;
for He takes no delight in fools.
Pay what you vow!
It is better that you should not vow, than that you should vow and not pay."
-Eccl5:4&5-
Today marks the end of an era, the end of a vow- but the beginning of so much more.
Numbers 6 is what led me to take this act of consecration for the Lord. You can argue all you want about not needing to follow OT law or whatever but who can judge or criticize my unique personal relationship with Lord and what the Spirit compells me to do?...
What have I learned from vowing to not putting a razor to the hair on my head and face and avoiding strong drink for close to a year? That we are all consecrated unto God. We are all set apart for His use and Glory. It is so easy to disregard and overlook this!
For me- I was called to take a vow in order to help me learn this.
God definitely blessed me and used me during that time of physical consecration; and He continues to do so. So despite all the opposition to cutting the locks that have adorned my head for so long AND being straight up convicted by Eccl5:4-5, I am obeying the Spirit in breaking and completing the vow as I go abroad to do missions work in Costa Rica.
I wanted to post some pics of my freshly shaved face and dome-but I am having some technical dificulties in uploading them...so stay tuned for they'll be posted when I return.
PLEASE PRAY!!!
Before signing off. Here's some Truth from Proverbs.
Proverbs28:5-
"Evil men understand nothing of justice.
But those who seek the Lord understand all"
PEACE and God Bless
