Comments on: Whose Name Are You Working to Exalt? Jesus’… or Yours? https://temporaldomainfwg.soaringwithhim.com/2017/08/whose-name-are-you-working-to-exalt-jesus-or-yours/ Patricia Holbrook Sun, 03 Sep 2017 21:54:13 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 By: Christa https://temporaldomainfwg.soaringwithhim.com/2017/08/whose-name-are-you-working-to-exalt-jesus-or-yours/#comment-32086 Sun, 03 Sep 2017 21:54:13 +0000 https://soaringwithhim.com/?p=2803#comment-32086 Definitely something we all have to balance. I appreciate your perspective. There is good that comes from making God’s name famous. And people who throw the social media baby out with the platform bath water are missing that opportunity.

A big Amen, Lynn! I love what you said and just realized that’s exactly how I feel… when I strive for deadlines, feeling like I “have to” write, it’s almost like the Holy Spirit crosses His arms and says: “Unless you rest in Me, I don’t have anything else to say.”

May He continue to be the only force that drives us to serve!

Blessings to you!

Thank you for sharing this encouragment, Neca! I’m grateful that the post has confirmed what God was already telling you. The word is indeed His… our only work after doing our part is to rest in Him.

Blessings,

It’s a real trap, Sue… and if we are not careful, we all fall prey to it. Thank God for His Holy Spirit that gives us warnings.

I’m so glad you stopped by! Blessings to you,

I’m personally trying to get back to that in a way, although haven’t quite figured it out! I want my creativity to be a reflection of Him, however found myself writing for the deadline of a post, or for the number of times daily, weekly, you should appear on social platforms. When writing this way, the content seemed weaker, most likely from the wrong intention of seeking recognition instead of just for Him. I like how you mention that we can get caught up in trying to do our work like others are telling us worked for them, instead of listening to God’s voice for us, directing us as our unique selves He made each of us to be.

God reminded me that I didn’t have to do it all because that’s His job. Thank you for sharing this needed post!
