Journey to Jesus

I want the year 2014 to be the year of great revelation from God. I want Him to reveal himself to me in ways that I do not know is possible. I know I have my own ideas of how He may do things, but then I have to come back and remember what Isaiah 55:9 says, "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts". I am so thankful that my God has better ways than me and that I am able to trust Him because in Numbers 23:19 he says, "God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?" 
I don't know about you, but I'm tired of this so called "Christian" life that isn't going by the Word of God. In 2 Timothy 4:3 God tells us that, "For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear." By the grace of God will He hold me with His mighty hand and that I would always think of the "Foolish Galatians" that Paul talks to saying, "Who has bewitched you?" I want to be a follower of Christ that takes God at His Word. I know that I need to exercise my faith and in doing so, my faith will grow. For example, in Matthew 14:25-32 when Jesus came to the disciples walking on water in the middle of the storm. They were scared, but Jesus told them that it was He and to not be afraid. Peter said, Lord if it is you command me to come to you on the water. So Jesus did and once Peter started looking around at the storm he started sinking and He cried out to Jesus and Jesus saved him immediately, but Jesus also told him, "O, you of little faith, why did you doubt?" So Peter had faith…he just had little faith. So what I want to go after is BIG faith that God is looking for! I want to be the person that the Lord is looking for when he comes back…2 Chronicles 16:9. Do you?
