Even if…

Stay true to yourself, but always be open to learn.

Even if….

God desires that we cling to Him—even if our loved one isn’t healed, even if we lose our job, even if we are persecuted. Sometimes God rescues us from danger in this life, and sometimes He doesn’t. But the truth we can hold firmly is this: “The God we serve is able,” loves us, and is with us in every fiery trial, every even if. (Extract from our Daily Bread)

Attempt Great Things…

Attempt Great things for God. Expect Great things from God. King David decided to build a house for the Lord (for the ark of the covenant). But the Lord blessed him instead. Building projects for God are costly. It demands vision, time, sacrifice and perseverance. It all begins with a dream! Do you have a dream of how God may want to use you, your family, skills or resources? Then dream it. Plan it. Pursue it; and as God enables, achieve it.

He does wonderful things that can’t be understood. He does miracles that can’t even be counted. (Job 5:9)

Hold On A Little While Longer…

Computer acting up while I was preparing for a presentation. Fed up I said aloud “What is happening Lord?” The immediate response from computer, “almost there.”

I applied that response to my heart. To the Lord’s action on my prayers, pleadings, and supplication in my life. He said to me, I am “almost there.” So, don’t worry, just hold on a little while longer.

Thank you, Lord, I have received you comforting reply. I will wait on you. Though I’m getting anxious about the issues that surround me, I know your timing is always right. Forgive my anxiety. Please help me to wait on you.

Jesus told his disciples a story. He wanted to show them that they should always pray and not give up. (Luke 18:1)

Teaching Someone Instead…

Has the Lord ever made you teach and train someone else for a job or opportunity that you yourself wanted? This happened to Moses. No matter how much he pleaded, The Lord had decided he would not set foot on the promised land. Instead, he instructed him to teach and on top of that—encourage Joshua instead.

But before we judge too quickly, Moses prayed, prayed, and prayed …and the Lord allowed him to see a glimpse of the land He promised the children of Israel.

In the same way, David wanted to build a temple to honor the Lord’s name. But the Lord instructed him to teach his son Solomon instead. David prayed, and the Lord allowed him to start the preparation for the building, but he had to teach his son Solomon instead.

May we be encouraged today knowing that the Lord hears and answers our prayers in His way; in His time

But commission Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, for he will lead this people across and will cause them to inherit the land that you will see. (Deuteronomy 3:28)

We Forgot to Pray!

My grandson RJ awoke with a start and with a loud outburst panicked “We Forgot to Pray!” I replied with a big grin “so let’s do it now.” To which he replied, “no, it’s not night, night.”

Caused me to think of how often I ‘forget to pray’ and when the spirit urges me, I postpone it for the ‘right’ time. With God, any prayer time is always the right time. What about now?

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. (Ephesians 6:18)

I Didn’t Know What Else To Do…

I didn’t know what else to do. So I prayed with everyone.

That was the comment from an eye witness to a tragic accident when 2 teens who were about to graduate lost their lives while driving home late one night. 5 minutes away from home tragedy occurred.

She didn’t know what to do to help comfort the survivors driving behind in another car, so she ‘resorted’ to prayer.

Aren’t we all like that? It’s when we have exhausted all other options then we decide to pray. We have it Skewed. Today let’s give prayer precedence in our lives.

Blessings overflow.
