The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.” Philippians 4: 8, 9

Faith Your Fear

Little Thoughts For Big Days

So the journey is long and unsettled and the doubts are large and looming. Fear lurks in the little corners of your world, nipping joy in the bud or maybe they aggressively approach without warning, sideswiping you blindfolded if they fail to hit head on! Yet, here you sit on another day of trying to get it together ~ making decisions and hoping for right ones. Friends are like Job’s friends, probably best if they would remain silent or at least offer encouragement. It seems like you just dealt with “that” and now “this.” World news is anything but good and your news? well ~ let’s just say you could do with a little bit better deal than what was just dealt! Where on this whole, wide earth is life going and where is it taking you?

He only allows it to make your beautiful soul more beautiful and more strong and more graced and more faithed and more steady for still ~ the journey ahead.

Remember the same God that spoke peace and calmed the wild waters and stilled the sea speaks peace into your frightening moments and uneasiness to calm and soothe your soul and smooth the trouble! So beautiful you ~ take heart and let God take control of this moment, the next, the next and the day ahead.

Mark 4: 39
“When Jesus woke up He rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence, be still.” Suddenly the wind stopped and there was a great calm.”

So have faith today and faith your fear. Trust in the One who has authority over the wind and the waves and has you and has your stuff and has your back and has you covered. There’s hope there and peace there for those in need

I’ve Got That

So beautiful soul, just know today that God’s hands are big enough to hold all those concerns of yours, so you don’t have to! Yes, just when your mind’s on overload with it all and you already have enough on your plate and your heart all but stops when yet, something more surfaces, God says, “I’ve got that too!” You can rest assured He does, and you don’t even have to go there except to give it all over to Him. So, that financial pressure, kid trouble, health issue, relational crisis, major loss, and uncertain future can just be given over and left in His hands. We have an awesome God of grace and mercy and He loves dearly and deeply with no strings attached. We don’t have to prove ourselves or qualify for top running, because in God’s Kingdom to lose is to win.

In Matthew 11: 27, 28, 29, Jesus Himself, revealed His relationship with His Father God explaining how everything He said and did was rooted in this Father /Son unity when He explains to His listeners, “All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”

Even today, our Lord speaks for us and prays to His Omnipotent, all knowing Father on our behalf and for our needs. He takes them all before the throne of grace; all the anxieties, the issues, the pressures and the short comings and He lays them out before His Father and our God, who made all things, knows all things and holds all things in His hand and dear to His heart. He's got it for you today! Well, He’s got you beautiful one, and that’s enough! So rest in that thought and know that whatever life throws at you, He'll bring you through.

❤ ❤ ❤

Bittersweet Lies

Little Thoughts For Big Days
Little Thoughts For Big Days

When my son was a little fella, I found a square of bitter, baking chocolate etched with tiny, teeth marks in the corner, tossed into his garbage can. He was known for his mischievous ways, so even though I knew his plan to eat sweetly and secretly had turned very bitter indeed, I asked him if he had gotten into my baking chocolate. He overlooked the facts confirmed by the bite marks and denied it! I knew better and was quite upset to see such a little one tell a lie, and wondered just what we were in for in the years ahead, but even more crucial than my disappointment was his own deception. Oh how deceived he was to think all was well, when it wasn’t well at all ‘cuz one who deceives others will live a lie, but will never deceive a God of Truth. As we all fall short of God’s commandments, he had broken a principle and a commandment of God’s law, “Thou Shalt Not Lie.” He thought by lying he could break even, avoid reprimand and get away with it but those tiny teeth marks told the whole story with clear evidence! Lies are sweet for the moment when they portray innocence but a bitter poison to the soul.

How true in our world of truth versus lies; The evidence of a lie will not stand against the Truth. A man’s lies will entrap Him and catch him in his own web. . In Psalm 119: 29 the Psalmist pleads “Keep me from lying to myself.” Self deception is a fruit of sinful, human, nature, that comes back to sting and bite and lead us to self destruction. Access to God’s Word of Truth is not a right but a privilege made available to us through God’s grace. It’s the only cure for the plague of self deception and the restoration of self destruction. So..beautiful soul, stay true to truth today! Don’t succumb to even a little, white lie because the evil one and the father of lies lives there ready to snag you up and entrap you in the sticky, web of deceit and the more you try to escape the more that sticky web entraps. Today then, just make the wrong right, and trust a God of truth to sustain you in a world of deception, where lies are the norm and truth the minority.

Psalm 119:30
“I have chosen the way of truth; I have set my heart on your laws.”
