It's En Route!






Shopping has really changed. I miss the days of strolling the mall looking for what I need. Now I just open my shopping apps from my  bedside.  Which app? You can pick to your liking.  Most places have learned how to reach their customers with ease.  

When I think of this, I can't help but think about what God has for me.  He has promised to provide for me. He knows just what I need and how to get it to me.  I got a text the other day from one of my favorite shopping buddies.  It was a notification that my package was being delivered. When I read the text, I felt a leap in belly and a push in my back! 

When we're facing difficult situations we can get anxious.  We need God to move and in a hurry.  I know what I'm talking about. I've been through sleepless nights, cried all night, and felt the weight of the world on my shoulders. In my most desperate battles, I look to God.  Sometimes, he moves immediately, but there are times I have to wait. 

We can talk about how waiting stirs its own desperation or how waiting can push you to move prematurely. Bottom line is we don't like to wait. 

It would be silly to go buy something that I have already ordered online just because I'm tired of waiting for it to get here. I want to encourage you to take your focus off the wait and place it on the delivery.  Take joy in knowing that God has not forgotten you.  He has heard your prayers and your blessing is en route.   

Be on the lookout for everything you need.  It's on the way!

And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.  Matthew 21:22

Reaching the lost at any cost!

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....
