Rolling Waves

 

Rolling waves of the ocean flowing to towards the shore, beats across what ever is in its path. Even though there is a moment of friction, the waves still reach, the shore.

As life throws waves of friction, continue to stay strong and keep moving towards the goal. God will still the waves.

Psalm 89:9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

Back Down or Move Forward

When you are doing something positive for God that will affect others, the enemy gets busy. What will you do? Back down or move forward?

Psalm 18:32 KJV
It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

Continue to move forward. God will strengthen and make the way for success. You will make a difference.

Blessings

 

Refresh

Don’t let the issues of life over crowd your life so that you forget about your creator the Lord God. Set time for God to refresh you. Make room for God. If God is put first He will direct your day. The stress that is present will begin to diminish.

Isaiah 54:14 KJV
In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.

Enjoy!!

 

Plans Change

 

The day starts and your plans are set. A few hours into the day and your plans start to fall apart. What do you do?  Fall apart or keep it moving. That was my day. My plans had a detour, but it was for good. At first I was trying to figure out how was this going to work. I just had to trust God. At the end of the day I got things accomplished and still had my Celebration on time.

What is the moral of this blog, sometimes adjustments need to be made and it works out for good.

Romans 8:28 KJV
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Blessings

 

Stay Focused

As you go through out the day, do not look at what others are doing around you compared to what you are doing.  Focusing on what you think you deserve stops you from focusing on your goal.  Keep working in the straight path to your goal and God will do the recognizing.

 Proverbs 25: 27 NLT Just as it is harmful to eat too much honey, so also it is bad for men to think about all the honors they deserve!

An Encouraging Word

Today is a another day in which God showed me that He loves me. Yes me.

I write this while I am exercising the body. I choose to work out in the early morning hours and I have been diligent for the past 2 months. Some people I see often and we are friendly and say good morning.

Today I walked in and a lady whom I see, but not recently says” have you lost weight? ” Say what!!! A smile beams across my face. She continues and says “you look different and you look great “. That was my encouraging word. Yes! My mindset became that of you got this and God sees and is encouraging you to keep going.

An encouraging word goes a long way. Today I will pay it forward. Who will you encourage today?

Confession

You ever read something and when you read it the 2nd,3rd or 4th time, you get an understanding that you did not have before? For our scripture focus today, I got a better understanding.

Confession is good for you. Really? Yup!  What is even more amazing to me, I found it in the Bible.

Psalm 32:3-5 New Living Translation (NLT)

³ When I refused to confess my sin,
    my body wasted away,
    and I groaned all day long.
⁴ Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me.
    My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Interlude

⁵ Finally, I confessed all my sins to you
    and stopped trying to hide my guilt.
I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.”
    And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone. 

 

So, we see that when you confess what ever the issue is, the guilt is gone.  Remember when you were little and you did something wrong and you felt bad. Especially when you did something to a friend. It was not until you said sorry, that you felt better and the guilt was gone. There is something about speaking truth that is freeing to the soul.

Be Blessed!

 

Faith- Does it Move God?

Luke 18:35-42 (KJV)

³⁵ And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:

³⁶ And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.

³⁷ And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. ³⁸ And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me. ³⁹ And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. ⁴⁰ And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, ⁴¹ Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight. ⁴² And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.

The Faith of the blind man moved Jesus in such a way, that Jesus stopped an asked “What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee?  It did not matter that the man was in the crowd and people told him to be quiet.  No!  He yelled louder, Son of David, have mercy on me!!   His Faith, stopped God!  His Faith moved Heaven!  He received his sight!

Does your Faith move God?

Be Blessed!

 

Balance

 

A routine is not always easy to get used to. It is trying, as it goes against everything you have been doing. It also throws you off-balance.

Balance here is key. One must be able to balance the things required and still follow the new process.

Proverbs 16:11 (The Jewish Study Bible) The balance and scales of justice have their own origin in Adonai; all the weights in the bag are His doing.

Know that Adonai (God) is the originator of being in balance and He is with you. Do not give up, keep pressing forward.

Be Blessed!

 

Praises To My God

The Lord, my God, lights up my darkness.
In your strength I can crush an army.
With my God I can scale any wall.

God’s way is perfect.
All the Lord’s promises prove true.
He is a shield for all who look to him for protection.
For who is God except the Lord?
Who but our God is a solid rock?
God arms me with strength,
And He makes my way perfect.
He makes me as surefooted as a deer,
Enabling me to stand on mountain heights.
He trains my hands for battle.
He strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow.
You have given me your shield of victory.
Your right hand supports me.
Your help has made me great.
You have made a wide path for my feet to keep them from slipping.

He is the God who pays back those who harm me.
He subdues the nations under me 

And rescues me from my enemies.

You hold me safe beyond the reach of my enemies

You save me from violent opponents.

The Lord lives! Praise to my Rock!
