Being STILL....

As I inhaled the word of God this morning it struck me that God does provide exceeding, abundantly over everything and anything any of us could ever imagine. Again, how promising and alive the word of God is. Yet I still find myself analyzing over every little thing. As I rummaged through some of my books that I didn’t pack up I managed to get my hands on the book, How to read the Bible for all it’s Worth. This little book is packed full of great information and facts but there are so many interpretations, so many denominations, and so many different translations that…..“Chasing my tail” comes pretty natural to me. Instead of using the peaceful words of being still and knowing that I am God I run in circles digging and searching out endless names of who, what, when, where and why. God will provide me with all these questions; my realization is that it takes lots of studying, spending time in prayer, devotions and just reading the word of God. More than that, it comes with having an intimate relationship with God and being still in His presence.

Not sure what I’m trying to say but I found it quiet humorous that in all that digging and searching this morning, I got from Him to, JUST……….BE STILL!!

Have a blessed Day!

My Hope is in You all Day Long....

No matter if all the food I pull outta my frig seems to be growing hair and developing eyes

….my children seem to not be able to function if I’m not right by there side

……my home looks as if a tornado has landed permanently

……..my thoughts of the word school seem to chill me to the core

……….I can’t seem to remember the date and time of anything

…………My trees are dying and my turtles look as if their starving,

I know that my hope is in the Lord all day long! As I have managed to get myself into this pit of self pity this verse has made me smile! I can read something and tears wail down my eyes…So many possibilities and so many options yet when and where do they take place? And he says, “Patience my child.” For I know the plans I have for you says the Lord, I know with these promises that He will see me through. I read something that isn’t new to me but it struck me in a way as if I had never read it before. Put on the whole armor of God. Duh!! Who goes out to battle without a sword…or for that matter what about the shield and the helmet? God doesn’t want us to face these trials alone, He wants us to rely on him and flee from the devil. Our God is in control. Every little thing that we face day by day, He wants to be included.

Here is the Lamb of God….all we have to do is Follow! Praise God!

Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my Salvation; I wait for You all day long. Psalm 25:5

Blessed be Your NAME!

When the darkness closes in, blessed be Your Name. You give and take away; my heart will choose to say, Blessed Be Your Name!! As I’ve pondered what I want to share tears of joy fill my eyes. I’m blessed by his presence day and night, blessed by his grace and mercy and his love and words can’t even explain how joyful I am.

Thank you Jesus for allowing me to be still in your presence. He is powerful and we are blessed!

Every blessing you pour out I turn into praise!
