Still waters run deep!



Still waters run deep -Latin Proverb

I have fond memories of my recent trip to Hawaii.  The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful, the food amazing, and the company second to none.  Traveling with my daughters created memories I will treasure forever.  Our time on the water was exciting although the boats were small and the water sometimes choppy.  You can imagine the butterflies in my stomach! 

Sometimes our lives can feel small and choppy, but what do we do when the water is still?  What do we do when it seems like God isn't moving? We've learned how to multi-task when life gets busy.  We've learned to try new things when life seems small.  Have we learned what to do when we can't see any change in our situations?

Let me encourage you! Still water runs deep.  Things may look still right now, but there is some troubling under the water.  When we can't trace God, we have to let our faith be our compass.  God in His sovereignty does not and will not share every decision with us.  We can become so entitled, that we forget who God is.  When you can't seem to see what He is doing, that is time you must know God for yourself!

God has the power to change lives.  He can change the very dynamics of your situation.  You may be looking at it as a whole, but God can cut the pie in pieces and deal with each one at the same time.  He is God! Nothing is too hard for Him!  God can take a sinner and take the very taste of sin right out of his mouth.  The desire will vanish as if it was never there. God can do more than we can see! 

If you are in a place that looks stagnant, remind yourself that God is troubling the water! All you have to do now is decree and declare out of your own mouth the word of God.  When you stand on the word, and speak it into the spirit realm, you create an atmosphere for miracles.  In other words, the miracle is in your mouth! Pronounce blessings and favor in your home.  Decree victory in your situation.  Declare healing in your mind, body, and spirit. Speak over yourself!  Take your eyes off the still water, and look to The Living Water! 

For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.  O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.  Psalm 84:11-12

Atleast Say Thank You!

Image
I give honor to God today. I thank him for my life, health, and strength.  I thank him for the activities of my limbs,   I thank him for bringing me over the dangerous highways. I thank him for  keeping me from dangers seen and unseen. I'm saved, sanctified,  and filled with the precious Holy Ghost, and that with a mighty burning fire. And I do speak in tongues as the spirit gives utterance!  As a young girl growing up, I thought that was a cute little speech that you had to say when you stood before the people in church.  I used to think it was a rehearsed cliché that the mothers testified to each other.  Looking back now, it seems like every Sunday we went to altar and "got saved"! It was just something the young people did- either on our own, because our friends went, or because Mama said so.   When I got saved for real, the Lord did a good job! He showed me a better way to live and offered me his love. As I serv...

Prayer Is Essential

Image
Essential is defined as being absolutely necessary and extremely important. I cannot think of anything more essential to the spiritual health of the believer than prayer. As the year comes to close, I look back at the tragedies some of us narrowly escaped, the tests we endured, and the pain we suffered. This glance back isn't global or even national. We only have to look as far as our own front doors.  Even our houses of worship have been subject to trials. It is only through the grace of God that we are not consumed. And it is essential that we pray, and we give thanks. Prayer can sometimes be seen as powerful when the verbiage is great, and the tone is loud. For me, it has been in my quietest moments that I have seen the power of prayer manifest miracles. Though I may be surrounded by chaos, prayer allows me to come humbly before my God and find his peace. As followers of Jesus, we must take heed to his divine example. In the garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:29), while facing the...

Search and Surrender

Image
This is the time when so many are evaluating their lives and declaring change.  You know the season.  When the new year rolls in, we start looking for a new person to emerge in the mirror.  This can be an effective motivation for some.  They begin the weight loss journey and soon begin to see results. That accomplishment becomes a drug that keeps them running back to the gym.   I could possibly make some declarations of my own, but this year I am asking God to do a new thing in me. It would be nice to be slimmer, richer, and all of that, but it's more important for this child of God to be spiritually made new.  I'm not talking about a new shout or dance, but I want God to transform me from the inside out.  This time of year is also a time of consecration.  We turn down our plates and lift up our hearts in prayer. We take our devotion to the next level by denying this flesh. I know you're saying that we should be doing that all of the time....
