So yesterday we rested and today we take a stand! We take a stand on those promises from God and gird them about out mind! We take a stand against the lies of the enemy and the evil one who tries to defeat us in our thoughts. He knows if he can get to our thoughts he can get to us! So those promises?

Take Time To Smell The Roses

Little Thoughts For Big Days
Little Thoughts For Big Days

It is an absolutely, wonderfully mild day and soooo “spring – like” day that I can’t believe it’s the same weather gracing our outdoors! 🙂 The sun peeks through the clouds on occasion to dot sun splotches in mud puddles from the rains of days gone by and to cast hints of cheery brightness here and there on our green earth. Yes, spring is in the air and did I say I was delighted?

So yes, just take time to enjoy life today ~ to stop and smell the roses today and in spite of the struggles that have you caught in their cross fire, catch the sweet, fragrance of the delicate rose! Yes,enjoy the roses but  they come with thorns, so be careful. The sharp prickles are a natural element of their creation and are there to remind us to be gentle and thoughtful in our choices along the way or we can be easily hurt by the beauty of things. Things that look amazing and wonderful can sometimes put stars in our eyes, blinding us from the truth! They entice yet end up stinging and luring us into webs of deceit and bondage where freedom to choose isn’t an easy option, and a way out becomes difficult as we sink lower into our own selfishness and the downward spiral. So yes, enjoy God’s beautiful creation and catch the fragrance of the rose but take care and be ever so mindful of the thorns today.

Genesis 3:6
“When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.”

James 1:14
“Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.”

Recycle It

So ~ what about all those prayers that you’ve prayed and it seems like no answers come? Well, beautiful souls, they are heard…every single one of them, you just can’t see the big picture yet. Do not lose heart and hope just because you can’t see beyond your humanity. His answers are in a whole different realm other than our little worlds of influence. Just wait and pray on. God doesn’t work to impress us! Contrary to popular belief, He doesn’t put together a neat and pretty little package just because we pray and then present it to us just because we desire it more than anything. No ~ His work goes deeper than surface pretty and plunges headlong into the heart/s and soul/s of the matter. All those issues that we think might be ten giant steps backward are quite possibly three God steps forward in His economy and scheme of things. He won’t waste His energy on nothingness and wrong moves. As a matter of fact, He wastes nothing. He sends it, pain and all, to His recycling program and remoulds and remakes beauty from ashes. You see, we don’t understand His perfecting, designing skills, nor will we ever! Even after we see the final outcome with our own eyes, we will not be able to piece together His plan of action. It’s too involved ~ too great ~ too out of this world and too awesome to go figure. As a matter of fact His works are so mysterious that when things look like they couldn’t get any worse, if you’ve been praying in His will, be assured that in God’s economy of things that disappointment is “in the big picture” His appointment for good things to come. Oh, if we could just be thankful for the little things and tell Him so and watch Him work through our grateful hearts. His work is not a quick fix or an overnight solution. It may take some healing time with Him, but while He’s working on it, will He find us faithful to the end?

John 14:13
“Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.”

Romans 8:28
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
