Whatever’s Going Down?

Soul Fire
Soul Fire

We’ve all been there haven’t we? Doing battle with the enemy? Trudging through the trenches, catching on the thickets, walking through the deadly fires of trial! In “deep” and just trying to keep our head above water as we find our way through the maze of whatever it is that’s going down? Yeah, we have! We’ve been there ~ everyone of us ~ trying desperately in our finite, and weak, human frame to just trust through a head knowledge that says “it’s” big and “it’s” steep and it’s out of our control, yet, it hangs over our weary heads, and tired frames like a Pig-Pen cloud! A cloud of thick, messy dust that just wants to settle right there overtop of our world. A dust cloud of “heavy” and “relentless” that wants to lodge right over our heads and weigh us down and push down, down and down even father still. You know it don’t you? Those wars that blow in out of nowhere to distract our spiritual focus and undermine our faith in the God who we say we trust?


So beautiful soul, these are the times to rise up on wings of faith above all the difficult, above all the nonsense, above all the hard places and the tight spots and let God plan the strategy for battle. He’s so skilled and so equipped to do it. He’s got just the right fight for the enemy and can run him off-course so quickly it will make your head swirl. He’s sovereign! He sees ahead and knows just the right move at just the right time. His strategy is out of this world and divinely sealed with awesome and exquiste perfection. His compassion so rich and His grace so sweet and His faithfulness so rock solid, that it can make our problem puny and pale. So you and I and we and us ~ we can trudge through those trenches, get all caught up in those thickets and get burned in the flames of our own futile, attempts or we can simply turn it all over to a God who still cares so deeply and covers our back so faithfully! It’s a no-brainer sweet soul, so whatever it is that hangs over you today, as hard as it is to ‘let it go’, let it go! Let it float over the hard spots and right into the hands of the Saviour of your world. He’s got it and He’s got you and even though there might be difficulty ahead, you can know He’ll bring you through! When the battle rages, and gets hot, step aside and make room for God.

For all of your broken heart and weary, beautiful soul, there is healing in Jesus name.

“Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again.”

Crazy Faith

DSC_0001 1
So you and I and we and us, as Christ followers we have so much to be thankful for. We have a connection with a powerful God who is in control of our lives, and our world! We have a relationship with Jesus, the One and only One who brings us the solution to our sin problem, and yeah, we have some kind of a crazy faith that works. It just a crazy, mixed up faith that fights on its knees and runs on God’s power in His economy, where less is more, weakness is strength and loss is victory. Who can think it? Who can know it and who can understand it? It’s a crazy faith that wars against an enemy with a love and no strings and heals a hurt with forgiveness and no anger! A crazy kind of faith that rises to power, clothed in humility! A kind of faith that fights a war with peace and simply takes a back seat to become an honoured guest at the Royal table. It’s a strange faith for sure ~ but beautiful soul it works. You know it! It works in the difficult places and carries us through the hard times. It graces us in our most undeserving moments and oh don’t we know it when that grace washes over us?

Onlookers, think we’ve lost our minds to this crazy faith and Paul confirms that they will in 1 Corinthians 1:18, “For the message about the cross is nonsense to those who are being destroyed, but it is God’s power to us who are being saved.” The biggest need for those outside of the faith is to prayed into the faith and into the fold and into God’s kingdom. Our biggest responsibility is to do the praying to bring them in. It’s a daily fight ….this spiritual battle ..this war with principalities and powers in a dark and evil world. So beautiful you ~ put on your spiritual armour and grab the victory shirt for God’s team. He’s already won but we have to keep in the game. We have to play it out and fight the good fight of faith through prayer to a God who changes things. Fight for this crazy faith that works to undermine the enemy and put him in his place. Fight for our countries, our governments, our world conditions and for those who wander in search of truth. Fight for wisdom and enlightenment and for spiritual eyes to be opened to the light. Yeah you ~ grab that victory Shirt washed in the blood of the Savior and fight for your families and fight for your kids, and fight for your grandchildren. God’s awesome and amazing power is at our disposal. Our prayers unlock it and our faith unleashes it. Don’t give up! Not even for a moment in time!

Secure in Jesus

January Frost 2011 044
A discouraging day is it? Yeah, there are some of those, when everything that can go wrong does and when it’s all said and done, it’s all said and done and you can’t change it or make it different but you can shake it off, move on and make a difference. Begin with an attitude check and a heaping dose of God’s grace to soothe the discouragement, disappointment and add some mellow to the harsh. Those sand paper moments are difficult but they come and sometimes they trick us into thinking we’re not good enough or smart enough or strong enough to make it. They sneak up on us and catch us off guard and if we’re not alert they can win it over us and run us down. Beautiful soul, you are not defined by your successes or your accomplishments. You are not who you are because you’ve made it or haven’t made it. You are you and who you are is God’s creation made in His image, and made beautifully to fulfil His purpose in your life. He hasn’t left. He hasn’t walked away. He hasn’t left you alone in the journey. Trust Him to meet you right where you are ~ in that heap of insecurity and not good enough. In that heap of impossible and over the top expectation demanded of you. Jesus is your security in your insecurities and your strength and motivation in the impossible. Let Him take your load, your worry and your anxieties and give you peace.

In This Together

Together You and I
Together You and I

So we’re in this together you and I; fellow sojourners in a temporary land, making our way through one crazy, mixed up world to ultimately reach our final destination. Oh yeah, Heaven is so very real and so very close to our hearts but sometimes it seems so distant and so far removed from where we are today ~ right now, this moment when the way is long and daunting! There’s still so much journey ahead, and we wonder through our wanderings of wilderness where its taking us? It’s a different way for us all, and we find ourselves so often in the difficult places on difficult days. The roads are many: long, short, steep, winding and dangerous with each one presenting its own level of challenge. Sometimes the light is dim the way is dark. Sometimes the eyesight wanes, health fails and strength is zapped. Decisions are overwhelming, and choices are hard, but we’re in this together aren’t we? Your way and my way? Our ways our dotted with enemies who lie in wait to ambush ~ taking us down, defeating our cause and distracting us from our heavenly goal. We want to run rather than face! We want to cry because it hurts! We want to just give in because it’s too hard to go on.

But oh we do have the good days too! Those days when we just know that we walk the way with Jesus as our steady guide, and our sovereign Lord who leads the way and just as God faithfully led the Israelites through their wanderings He leads us through ours. He’s given us the best director for the drama and the best tour guide for the journey, all packaged together beautifully in the Saviour of the world. The only one who can meet our biggest need and save us from the perils of sin and it’s ruin. Oh I trust you walk with Him today on your journey. Walk with Him as David and so many other great men and women of the faith did. So when it’s rough, and smack dab in the middle of difficult, reach out to Jesus and say with David as he prayed in
Psalm 86: 1, “Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer; answer me for I need your help. Protect me, for I am devoted to You. Save me for I serve You and trust You. You are my God.”
