Making No Apologies

I usually don't have a title before the post, but this is something that I have not been able to let go. It's something that comes and goes. People around us always want to give advice on our situations. They always want to look at what we are doing, and tell us what  we are doing wrong or that it is the wrong way. They never know the full story. They look at things from their experiences not knowing why you do what you do....

I am reminded of a part of King David's story. This particular day, he had been dancing with the ark of the covenant. He gets home and one of his wives tells him (not necessarily in these words) that he embarrassed her with his actions. David in turn gives the reason behind his praise and then says "And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honor." (2 Samuel 6:14-22). With that last statement, he told his wife that he was making no apologies about how and why he praised. He knew the reasoning behind what he was doing and he did it unapologetic ally.

We need to get to a point where like David we make no apologies for our actions. As a person who lives/is living/is trying to live a God centered life, your directions come from a higher source. While to others it may look chaotic or even be embarrassing, it's the right thing for you to do. It's the right path for where God is taking you. He never said it would all make sense, but what he did say was that he would equip you with what you need. 
  
While it may seem chaotic, trust that God is giving you what you need to fulfill your purpose. Trust that he is equipping you with the experiences you will need to take with you as you move along your path. Because of this, you will never need to make an  apology.

What is your relationship?

This started off as one thing, but funny how that works.  I was sitting thinking of today. So a little back story, today in the Christian Ch...
