Feeding On Faithfulness

Have you ever found yourself worrying about similar situations that God has delivered you from? I often feel that we are no different from the Children of Israel, and their complaints as God delivered them through the wilderness.  There are so many things to rejoice over while in the midst of our wilderness; but we become  consumed with what we don't have.  Instead of  focusing on what you don't have, shift your gaze to WHO you  have.  Not what, but WHO.  We have God, and along with God He brings faithfulness, and His never ending resources. 

Psalms 37:3 Tells us to "Feed" on the Faithfulness of God. Period. Don't fill your self up with insecurities, anxiety, worry, and stress. All of these things are present when we are faced with a situation that we can't handle. Our  problem is we were never meant to operate independently of God. There isn't a Me pile, and a God Pile. ALL OF IT belongs to God.

Trust His resume. Feed on His faithfulness, despite the dark clouds that hover in an attempt to steal your peace.   The threat of death, loss, sickness, and failures  will take your eyes off of God.  Don't do it. Focus on Him. Feed on His faithfulness, because In Him is your only safe place. 

A Place by You..

Living above my circumstances can only be mastered in that place by you. Lord God my Creator, Jesus my Redeemer, Holy Spirit my comforter my soul desires a place by you. 

 In your place is Honor and Majesty.  Strength and Gladness is an instant reward! No earthly circumstance can thrive under the majestic grandeur of your presence.  The sheer light illuminating from You is too much for darkness to stand. IT CANNOT STAY.  

 Lord, welcome me into your presence; customize my comfort that can only exist with You. My home is with you. My eternity is with You, my life is hidden with You.  This earth and everything in it is temporary. It will pass away, but my place by you it is secure!

 I rejoice because no circumstance can ever take away my place by You.  My strength and Joy will remain.  Lord make me glad.  Visit me; rather make me aware of your frequent visitations because I know that you are here.  Keep my eyes fixed on You. 

Help me to remember that you are the most important part of my day.  In your place, I am always safe.   Grace me to never forsake my place by you,  for it is a place that this world cannot Touch. 

God Projects

 "What do I do?" 

"Am I coming or am I going?" 

"Why is my life so hard?"

 "I'm  all out of ideas".

 "I have no clue what's going to happen." 

 "How do I get out of this?"

 "I'm  am scared"

Fear and worry can create a battlefield in our mind as we struggle to manage aspects of our life. We rip and run, we seek advice from friends, family, and  doctors, all to end up more confused and stressed than we were when it first began.   "Why do I do this to myself?" This is the question that I often ask as I sit trying to figure out yet another mind boggling situation that was never created for me to handle.  I can imagine God standing there, with His hands clasped together as He patiently waits for me to remember that this is  HIS project!   Sometimes, I shake my head at myself and think "Girl,  this is not for you!"  You need to dump all of this in the lap of the only Person that can do something about it, God. 

 Just dump it and leave it.  I know, it easier to say than  do. But once you master this you won't ever let worry and stress take root again. God has shown me that every single time I fully surrender a situation to Him, I get to REST..

Be Accountable. Give God His projects.

Accountable to God: The Movement

Today I had my first radio interview on my book , Accountable to God, On The Review with Joy & Company.  The Review provides a platform for authors of faith-based literature to discuss and promote their books. 

I thoroughly  enjoyed the questions and testimonies that stemmed from their review on the book.  It was amazing see that even though this book was written years ago, it is being promoted and shared at the right time.  I am so grateful that God trusted me with this assignment.  I am elated  about this Accountable to God "movement", because it keeps us focused on what's most important, our Souls! 

Accountable to God, will challenge you to seek after God's purpose for your life. We are not our own, but we were bought with a price.   ( 1 Cor. 6:20)

The body that we occupy, and the time that we live in are on loan.  It's time to be about our father's business.  I want to owe nothing to this body when I'm gone, How about you? 

Join the "movement"…Be Accountable to God 

Tired of Waiting

Can you remember as child having to wait on a promise that your parents made? It was one of the hardest things to do.   Whether it was your birthday gifts, a planned vacation, or just a visit to an amusement park for the summer.  We hated waiting!!  Waiting was especially hard when our parents would NOT give us a date or time!  I can recall bugging my mother every chance I got asking her  WHEN???   I'm sure many of you parents can relate to that now with your own children.  It can be so annoying to have your kids focus on when something is going to happen vs. what they should be attending to right now.  As children of God we don't behave much differently.  

God's gives us promises to give us hope, and something to look forward to. A promise is also given to help settle our minds, so we can focus on what God wants us to do today.    In Acts 1:7 Jesus was encouraging His disciples to "wait' for the promise of the power of the Holy Ghost. During this time they were more interested in knowing when the kingdom of Israel would be restored, and Jesus said to them; "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority, BUT you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you", and you shall be witnesses to Me all over the world. 

Wow!  I love how Jesus can divert our attention, and bring it back where it should be.  In other words  He's saying, don't worry about MY business, here is yours: you will be filled with Power to do my will on the Earth. The knowledge of When ,Where, and How something will happen belongs to God alone.  He doesn't want us to focus too  much on the promises that ARE coming, but the work of obedience that is required of us right now.  

Don't Worry, It's Coming. The promises, the gifts, everything has already been prepared and it's just a matter of time! 

An Appointed Time…

We pray. God hears. He answers.  We, by faith WAIT on the answers to our prayers. We ask, "why is it taking so long?"  God's response:  "It is for an appointed Time".  

Ahh the mystery of "The appointed Time".  I believe many of us would have little problems with waiting until the appointed time, if we knew when that was.  The issue with God revealing a time to us, is that, time doesn't apply to Him.  From God's perspective it is already done.  God inhabitants time and space.  So unlike us,  God does not need clocks,calendars and day planners. What He does need is our Faith. 

Our job is to focus on God, and not the time it is seemingly taking for Him to answer our prayers.  Habakkuk 2:3 says, for the vision is yet for an APPOINTED TIME; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie, though it tarries, WAIT FOR IT.  

While we wait, we are focusing on God's character, praising Him for who He is. We are thanking  Him for what He's done, and IS doing  right in front of us.   Live in the Present, with God, because He has already secured your future.
