I began this blog many years ago because I wanted to write fiction novels, good, Christian-based fiction novels, and I thought a blog might be a good place to begin building an audience. Instead, my blog quickly became a place where I have concentrated on exploring what it means to live a Christian life. In a way, I have been refining my understanding of God and His Word in order to help me write better novels.
And I did continue to write novels. I now have nine of them published on Amazon. Some are pure romances, while others include mysteries in their plots. But they all strive to show what living and loving God looks like when you get down to the nitty-gritty.
Whether you’ve read one of my novels before or not, I’d appreciate you taking some time to check out my work at my website: ramonalevacy.com. The books there are linked to their Amazon pages where you can purchase them if you are interested. In appreciation to all my readers, I’m running a Flash Sale on most of them this Sunday and Monday, just 99 cents per title for the ebook versions!
Is God king of your life?
I want to say yes to this statement in earnest, but I know that I still try too hard to control all the aspects of my life and have not released control to allow God to do His job, to let Him be my king. I know I am not alone in this struggle. When I read about the time of the Judges and the subsequent push in Israel to have an earthly king like all the other peoples around them, I recognize some of that same stubbornness and backward thinking in myself.
In my next blog post, I hope to explore the value of God as my King and the chaos that ensues when I try to run my life all by myself. What does a life lived in such obedience look like? What victories ensue when one recognizes the ultimate authority of God every moment of every day, in every action and reaction that challenges and even just plain living require?
6 When Samuel heard their demand—“Give us a king to rule us!”—he was crushed. How awful! Samuel prayed to God.
7-9 God answered Samuel, “Go ahead and do what they’re asking. They are not rejecting you. They’ve rejected me as their King. From the day I brought them out of Egypt until this very day they’ve been behaving like this, leaving me for other gods. And now they’re doing it to you. So let them have their own way. But warn them of what they’re in for. Tell them the way kings operate, just what they’re likely to get from a king.”
1 Samuel 8:6-9 the Message
In Christ,
