Mondays are my favorite!

Someone might have asked you before "What is your least favorite day of the week?", many venture to say Monday, not me...I definitely think it is ranked up there right along with Sundays. =) Sundays are amazing for me because I get to spend a good portion of my day at one of my favorite places to be, my heavenly fathers house (church). The comfort of knowing that my Savior lives there and I am going to visit! I love it! Mondays are a little different. Now I am still at the church, but there is a different reason.
When I spend time in the word I pray that the Lord will teach me something, that he give me some sort of spiritual wisdom, knowledge and understanding, and Monday nights is my night of accountability. It helps keep up with my studies. Now am I great at keeping up NO, but I usually have at least one day read.
So anyways, back to me asking for spiritual, wisdom and understanding. As I read I try to underline the verses that stick out, that make me think, that challenge me spiritually. When I am not being selfish with my time I will write down what I believe the Lord is showing me. Or I will write down just the verse just because it stuck out, even though I don't know why. Well during study on Monday nights we are to discuss what the Lord showed us during the week. My God is ever so faithful to show me greater things than just the words underlined. I a great group of God fearing men and women who are there to teach and guide me.
This last week I had underlined a portion I believe was Luke 22:10-13 where Jesus tells his disciples to go and prepare the last supper. He tells them to find the man with the Water pot and follow him to his masters house, and then it goes on to say "...and they went off to the city and found everything just as Jesus had said." I underlined that section because it reminds me of the faith that the disciples had in Jesus, and what faith I lack. I know that I would have question Jesus asking "well what if there are two men that have water pots?" or "what if I see a man that has a pitcher and another that has a pot which do I follow?" I wouldn't want to be confused and make a mistake and go the wrong way. But that is not what the disciples did, they did just as they were told.
As we all began discussing it someone brought up a huge point for when I start to question the action. "Is it truly God? God is not an author of confusion." It hit me hard. How often do I battle with my flesh and spirit worrying about making the wrong choice, worrying about all the "what ifs". If there is confusion I need to stop and wait on the Lord. He will answer and I will know that it is him. It may take years to get the answer, but at least I would have then made the right decision. It reminded me about an event not too long ago that I was totally stressing and worrying over. I kept going back and forth is this something the Lord wants me to pursue or not. Is this something that is in my head or not. I didn't know what to do, I was confused about the whole situation. It lasted for well over a year. But never once did I think that God doesn't send confusion our way to test us. Pastor Rick said that God sends assay. To examine, to try or test. Its like test we take in school, we were tested on the information we had been taught. A test that would strengthen our knowledge but not to confuse us. God is the same way. His true desire is for us to learn to be more like Him the same way our teachers desired for us to learn what they had taught.

I love it when I see something so small and those around me teach me something that is much deeper within the entire passage. One day I hope to be able to listen more to the Lord that I can hear Him tell me that. =)
