Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
[Hebrews 11:1]

“Can You See It? .. No? … Well, You Got It !”

Good Morning Beloved,

HAPPY MONDAY!

The first Monday in a brand new year!

Today is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it! Faith. The currency of Heaven. Faith is priceless. Nothing can compare. Things come and things go. People come and people go, but faith will stand sure forever. It is that never moving rock that we can build our lives on. It starts out as simple child-like faith that believes what our Heavenly Daddy said, because He’s Daddy. As we grow, it becomes a more mature mountain moving, speak to the elements kind of faith..that still believes Daddy because He’s Daddy. That faith is grown out of time spent with the Father, and seeing Him move over and over again. Our testimony can be one of our most valuable assets. We can speak with authority, surety and boldness on what God has done for us. Once we have experienced the provision, grace, mercy, love of God for ourselves, we can tell someone else. Even our brothers and sisters in Christ. Sometimes the road is long and the future looks bleak. Some are dealing with challenges that are beyond belief. We don’t know what to say all of the time. Sometimes we just have a listening ear. There are times when we don’t even know how to pray. In those times we rely on the Holy Spirit to pray through us. We may not have an answer, but He sure does. In everything we are to give thanks. Not necessarily for everything, but while we are in it, we are to think of who the Lord is and thank Him for being Him. These are the last days and the enemy is pulling out all the stops and doing the craziest things. We should never ignore him and his tactics, but our focus has to be on God. Holding on to our faith in God because that is the ultimate goal of the wicked one… to shake our foundation and corrupt our faith turning it into fear. We can forget how powerful we really are. We have the Word of Life hidden in our heart. We have the Spirit of the Living God living in us. We have the Son of God constantly praying and interceding for us, and God the Father is still in control. He will never leave, nor forsake us. Whatever mission we have, we will complete it by the grace of God. After all is said and done, we will discover we lived for His Glory. He wants to best for us because He wants to get the best out of us.

… and that Beloved is Good News!

Y Stress? … U Blessed!

Have A Fabulous Day

TIMING

Good Afternoon Beloved,

I love the Biblical account of David. It is one of the greatest human redemption stories in the Old Testament. Remember, this was before Jesus’ sacrifice. God saw something in David so precious that He called him “a man after His own Heart”(Acts 13:22) … wow… that gets me every time! What an honor. David was no where near perfect, but he never let his issues separate him from his God. Last night I saw a movie on television, that was a pretty accurate portrayal of the life of David. It was saturated with David’s psalms and prayers to God, but did not gloss over his weaknesses and indiscretions. It included terrible incidents in David’s life, such as when his son Amnon raped his daughter Tamar, incurring the wrath of his son Absalom who later killed Amnon, and years later took the kingdom from his father… briefly. David’s love for his children (especially Absalom) is clearly seen throughout scripture. Not long after usurping the throne, Absalom meets his fate at the hands of David’s captain and David is put back on the throne. So many happenings in one life! All stemming from a young boy singing songs to God, while faithfully tending to his daddy’s sheep. He could have never in his wildest dreams imagined that he would be God’s choice for King of Israel. Many years passed between the time Samuel anointed him as king and when he actually received the crown. Timing. We may never experience the level of drama in our lives some of the ”bible people” did, but we’ll have our own mountain-top/valley low experiences. Realizing that perfect timing only comes from a perfect God will make our life so much more satisfying and productive. I wish that I could have met my brother and his wife years ago. I wish I could have met my sister and her husband years ago. I wish I could have attended their weddings, sat in the hospital as their children were born, gone to the graduations, spent holidays together etc… etc.. etc. They are all such wonderful people, and we would have really enjoyed each other. However it did not work out like that. They were all ‘suddenlies’ in our life. One day they were complete and total strangers, the next day we were family, feeling as though there was no separation. I don’t know how or why 2009 became the year of “reconnection” but I’m grateful that it was. Timing. I don’t know what all The Father has in store for us, but His Word tells us that it is good. The circumstances around us may be hard, but His promise is that He would not put any more on us than we are able to bear. With every temptation, He has already provided a way of escape. Every question has an answer. We may not like the answer, but there is one nevertheless. Some seasons in our life when we feel as though we’re getting cut left and right, it’s just God pruning us like a fruitful tree… that we will be able to bear even more fruit… healthy fruit… not corrupt, worm-laden, rotten fruit! Each step we take towards God, we will find a new obstacle trying to block our path, but remember we are more than conquerors through Him that loves us. The bottom line… no matter what….
