I found this simple writing today. I wrote this after the first launch of my scripture tanks. The timing couldn't have been better as I needed this reminder...

John 6:29
This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.
My brain is exhausted after this week. I was feeling uninspired. You'd think after a stepping out in obedience of launching the scripture tanks, I'd be on a high. But I wasn't. I couldn't figure out why either. Instead I hit a low. An extreme low.
It wasn't until I read John this morning...
John 6:29
This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.
... that it hit me. I was taking what God had placed in my heart ( the scripture tanks) and making my own dreams out of it. I was focused so much on what I wanted to do next, what I could create, what I could design. My thoughts on my "business" consumed me. I left very little room for God. Even my morning quiet time I was distracted, checking my new likes, my emails.
Sometimes I think we all feel this. We feel like as seekers we have to figure out what God wants us to do. What works does he want us to pursue? How can we change the world?! What can we do to please God?
This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent. John 6:29

So today, I live by just believing. I stand in awe of his presence. I gladly allow him to fill my soul and consume. I simply just believe.
