Faith

I imagine that God wishes we would be a little more like children at times. As a child, when given a possible opportunity to lead in any capacity, we didn’t stop to think how long the act of service would last. We didn’t care so much what would be required of us … would it cost us anything, or if there might be something else that we would rather do.
When God calls us into service, often the timeliness of our response is a measure of our faith. Procrastination is a sign that we are not trusting that God will lead the way and guide our paths. Procrastination leads to confusion and indecision, giving the enemy an opportunity to work at convincing us that we are unworthy, unqualified and incapable of carrying out God’s will. As a result, we become paralyzed with fear, doubts and insecurities.
Stepping out in faith requires us to fully rely on God, and not on our own assessments of our abilities. Philippians 4:13 reads “I can do everything through Christ which strengthen me."
Romans 8:28 reads..... 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.
Colossians 3:23 reads....And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
Be strong have faith!

Audrey and Belle

Audrey and Belle (at Belle's T-ball game) aren't they so cute....Belle reminds me so much of Audrey when she was little.

Daily Bible Reading

This quote is from my daily bible devotion this morning.......

^{Revelation 3:10}Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

God has heard your cry, and he knows the timing, the very hour, to open all doors. So, never give up. Never doubt. Stand on his promises. He will not fail you.

"While I'm waiting"

I love this song the words are so true.....

"While I'm waiting"

I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Takeing every step in obedience
While I'm waiting
I will serve You
While I'm waiting
I will worship
While I'm waiting
I will not faint
I'll be running the race
Even while I wait

I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it's not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve you while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord


Song has a very important meaning to me and in my life.....



Psalm 37:34
Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
Psalm 130:5&6
I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope....My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

GOD IS FAITHFUL, WHO HAS PROMISED.

No matter what you may be going through, no matter how trying your situation, this Psalm will be a source of great strength and encouragement to you.

Psalm 37

¹Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

²For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

³Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

⁴Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

⁵Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

⁶And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

⁷Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

⁸Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

⁹For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

¹⁰For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

¹¹But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

¹²The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

¹³The LORD shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.

¹⁴The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

¹⁵Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

¹⁶A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

¹⁷For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

¹⁸The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.

¹⁹They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

²⁰But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

²¹The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.

²²For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.

²³The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

²⁴Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

²⁵I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

²⁶He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

²⁷Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

²⁸For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

²⁹The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.

³⁰The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.

³¹The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

³²The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

³³The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

³⁴Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

³⁵I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

³⁶Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

³⁷Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

³⁸But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

³⁹But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

⁴⁰And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

We Moved!

We got moved...wow what a job that was....I have been so tired cause moving is a job...Audrey is happy as can be she even cooked our supper last night.....

Prayer

Prayer......

Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
From a commentary out of my bible.....Out warfare against the spiritual forces of Satan calls for an intensity in prayer, praying "in the spirit" "always""with prayer and supplication," "for all saints," "with all perserverance." Prayer is not to be seen just as another weapon, but as part of the actual conflict itself, where the victory together with God Himself. To fail to pray dilgently, with all kind of prayer in all situations, is to surrender to the enemy.......

Mark 11:24T herefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
From a commentary out of my bible... Faith that receives is not something humanly produced; rather, it is a believing faith imparted to the believer's heart of GOd Himself. Sometimes the fulfillment that true faith desires is granted immediately; at other times it is not. Yet God gives the faith that the prayter has been heard and the request will be granted. The uncertainty concerns the time of the fulfillment, not the granting of the request.

Bible Reading for today.......

Isaiah 43:1-3
1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

²When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

³For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

Matthew 28:5-10
5-And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. ⁶He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. ⁷And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. ⁸And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. 9And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. ¹⁰Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

Wait upon the Lord...

Psalm 37
5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

³⁴ Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

Thought for the day......

When I was a small child I always remember Mom never wearing shoes it did not matter if it was raining, sleeting, or snowing Mother never had shoes on. I always wanted to be able to do the same. During my childhood I looked forward to the first day of summer because it meant two things. First, I did not have to attend school for three months, and second I did not have to wear any shoes unless I wanted to, or if Mom made me. Everyday I would run out to play leaving my sock and shoes behind......
Those first few days of summer were always a painful shock to my tender feet because the driveway that we played on was gravel. At the end of each day my feet would be grimy and filthy, often bruised and sometimes slightly bloody. Even now I can remember the pain that those sharp edged rocks would do to my feet. But I knew within time that my feet would grow callused and tough. It would not be long before running on the gravel wouldn't hurt anymore. .....
You know I have come to realize that sin works the same way. The first time we commit a sin it really bothers us....We feel guilty and mourn the fact that we have grieved the heart of God...If we allow sin to settle into our lives, refusing to confess it, that sin hardens and builds sprituial calluses in our soul. When we become comfortable with our sin we are walking in the enemy territory and setting ourselves up for spritual discouragement and failure.
1 John 1:9-If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
This verse is an encouragement to believers to deal with sin and a promise that when we do so, God will be faithful to forgive us and clean up the mess those sins have caused. We are not perfect----just forgiven. The means being sensitive to sin and immediately choosing to do something about it....
