Look Out

As I laid in the bed looking out of my window, I received my "aha" moment. To look out of the window, to see the trees, and to know that there is something so much larger than me. To know there is so much more to God's plan than just what I can see. When have you looked outside of the window of your circumstance? of what you can only see now? You are indeed a part of God's plan and there is so much more to you than you can see now. Happy Thanksgiving!

Start today celebrating your life by reading Habakkuk. It is only three chapters. Allow them to saturate. Journal the time. Oh yeah and enjoy this journey. type to you later.

All a part of the journey

A rose is a thing of beauty. Can you caress a rose without either being pricked by the thorns or bruising the tender petals? No, not unless you are very careful. Likewise you cannot embrace this journey without being pricked by life's little barbs.

Everything you want will never be what you get. Everyone does not think like you (a good thing). Learn to embrace this journey beauty and prickes. type to you later.

Where have you come from?

Before you started reading this - what were you doing? Did you make an effort to read? Or did you grab it on the run? Sometimes in our search for what we are looking for- we realize that we don't know what that is. And so we flit from one flower to another examining the sweetness. There are some places that you prepare to enter by being quiet, turning off cell phones, you know what I mean? There are some that you get ready for, you clean up to enter, you dress a certain way. And there are some places that you must prepare mentally for - you remember your lines, your hours of study.

Ahhh! And there is a place where preparation is only to "be still, and know." In our hectic lives filled with so many stressors we are pulled almost apart. But- when we get still, and know. . . You see, getting still is not enough, the power is in knowing that God is God. Too often, we are physically still and mentally running. Don't believe me? Hmmmm. What happens when you are in corporate prayer? What happens when you are in a lecture? Your body is there but your mind is usually racing about many other things. You can't let go of where you came from in order to move into that particular moment.

When you let go of where you were in order to enter that place. When you get still, and focus on hearing, feeling, knowing, celebrating God you enter a different place. And in that place you can indeed be all that God has designed because you have left your corrupt image of self behind. That's the place to be. . . no matter what anyone thinks. . . not even you.

You can't stay there always. It's too great, so you have snippets. But that will sustain you. When you move from that place, move with that knowledge of who you are because of whose you are. And in that moving you help change the atmosphere because of where you have come from. Make great effort to get still. Go ahead try it now. I bless you with excitement in getting still and knowing that God is indeed God. type to you later!

Shhhh

At what point do we quit asking for guidance and know instinctivly to follow Holy Spirit? Yes, there is a place of oneness when all else really does not matter. We can indeed function here because we are at one. At that point we can indeed hear, feel. . . We can know. . . we can be still and know that God is God.

There is a place that we can actually rise above whatever we go through only when we strive to get there. No, it is not easy, but it is indeed doable. All things are possible . . .

Into the Darkness

I was reading something from my pastor, F.G.Sampson II, who has gone on. He used to quote it often.

"I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year,"Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown."

And he said, "Go out unto the darkness, put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than a light and safer than a known way."

So I went forth and finding the hand of God, trod gently into the night. And He led me toward the hills, and the breaking of day in the Lone East."

Just want to take a piece of that - "Go out into the darkness, put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than a light and safer than a known way."

Memories, and even then as Doc used to say, "I think I said something." He did.

With your hand in God's hand you can- you will find your way. Just be clear - your way may not be God's way. And since you have no clue of the way, why not let God lead you? Yeah, that is an old song. Why don't you let God lead you? All the way.
Watch what God is doing in your life. Oh yes, He is doing grand things. You can't follow unless you are watching. type to you later.

Dwelling

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty" (Ps.91:1 NIV) That dwells is a participle. So that puts a different spin on it, one a little deeper. It translates "dwelling" or "inhabiting." One who is dwelling in the shelter- the covering of the Most High - of God. Now make it personal - You who are dwelling under the covering of God. Whooo! Stop right there. Get there. Go there. You have the capability of being right there. Nothing else matters, but you dwelling under the covering of God. That gives you rest.

Yes, you long for rest. Yes, it is available. Rest-don't worry about all the stuff around you. There is no better place to be but dwelling under God's covering. Do not allow situations or events or people, places or things to interfere with you getting there - dwelling. My God. "Oh what peace we often forfeit, oh what needless pains we bear. . . "

You see, having a Bible open to Psalm 91 has no power. Having it in your heart holds the key to power. Ponder the awesome idea of dwelling under God covering. You see, whatever you go through you can handle it, because of your position. type to you later.

No Limit

This is a reprint from my devotional, God Calling, and titled "No Limit"

"Unlimited supply, that is My Law. Oh! the unlimited Supply, and oh! the poor, blocked channels! Will you feel this, that there is no limit to My Power?

But man asks, and blasphemes in asking, such poor mean things. Do you not see how you wrong Me? I desire to give you a gift, and if you are content with the poor, and the mean, and the sordid, then you are insulting Me, the Giver.

"Ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you." How can I fulfil the promise is My work, not yours, to consider. . . .Have a big Faith, and expect big things, and you will get big things."

No limit, there is not much to say. Ponder these words today as you journey along. type to you later!

Seek

Let this day be day of wonder for you. How? Seek God this day. Don't worry about what others are doing, don't worry about how you may or may not be doing. You see, it only takes a willing heart to step out of the many intricacies of society and seek to hear Holy Spirit's directions, seek to feel the Love of Jesus, seek to know God. In your seeking stand as a vessel emptied out in order to receive. And in that "a ah" moment you will find God.

what will you do the next day? Do it all over again. type to you later.
