Devotional Today (The Language of Love )

Life can appear to be overwhelming at times but take heart the Lord knows all about you and your situation.God really does understand the needs, wants and desires of His children but He also wants us to communicate those things to Him.

You mean really talk to God? Yes, I mean really spill the beans to Him...Tell Him about the Wizard, Oz, Todo, Dorothy....


the Tinman...everybody lol...Ha,ha,ha but no foreal...Dorothy was rocking those ruby red slippers right? Okay, okay back to the devotional...

We can often miss how precious it is to have a God that cares, understands and listen to His children. Your voice really does matter to God. The Lord wants us to plug in and not just drain the energy out of our relationship with Him.

 He wants to have a very intimate relationship with us. So how do we accomplish that? We accomplish that by prayer, talk time and loving on God by our obeidence.

 Prayer must be an essential part of our relationship with God because  prayer is how we communcate with our heavenly Father.  Consequently, when God answers prayer and leads us with His gentle Spirit  this is how our Father communicates with us mostly.

 God has a way of sending someone by at the right time with the right word.  The Lord will speak rhema into our lives and when we leave that encounter we are so refreshed by that encouragement knowing that it was the Lord using that person to address our needs.

 This is one way to know that the Father has heard us and cares about how we feel.  He tells us to be "Anxious for nothing but by prayer, supplication and thanksgiving make our request made known unto God and He will give us an awesome peace that surpasses all understanding."

 Jesus really does care for His children.
How do you know that you are His child?  When you have accepted Him as Saviour and Lord and believed that God the Father has raised Him up from the grave.

 When we do this we have eternal life and also solidify that we are His.  So today put your anxiety, worry, doubt, frustration into the Master's hand and He will reward you with peace.  God bless you...

The Take Away

Know that you are not alone in your struggles. You have a caring Father just waiting to hear the deepest woes of your heart. He is ready to trade beauty for ashes, joy for mourning and peace for your frustration and anxiety.

Prayer

Father you know what we stand in need of today. Help me when I am stressing and feeling hopeless. Always reassure me as your child that you are there and you care about what I am facing today. Give me peace and strengthen my heart in Jesus name...Amen.

Daily Devotional (From Carpet to Hardwood)

Did you know that you can be so careful with life that you will not accomplish much?  Some of us are struggling with a first aid kit mentally.  A mentality that says, "I will never take risks." "As long as I stay in my bubble I will never get hurt." Hmmm...I wonder is this wisdom or fear?

 I know that risk can be risky and fearful at times but some risk is necessary for success.  We must be able to face disappointments and know that we have done our best. Not only this but we must trust God enough that when we have done our best He will reward us for it.

 Just like babies when they are learning how to walk they take risk. My daughter is so daring right now. She will probably jump from our arms if we would let her because she is motivated to succeed and start walking (she hasn't truly processed fear yet at only eight months).

 I believe we need to at times take a babies approach to fear and disappointment. We need to take calculated risk. Now let me clarify...I am not talking about having an affair or robbing a bank or anything crazy like that.

 But I am talking about turning 50 and getting your GED, finding life again after divorce or starting a business in your 30's, continuing to press forward after you and your husband have had a miscarriage and trust God to bring forth that family, saving your marriage even when it looks like the bottom is about to fall out.

 2Timothy 4:7 says, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." Also 1 Peter 5:6-7 says,"Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you."

 So if we will always walk on carpeted floors we can never discover the beauty of Hardwood...  I hope this helps... God bless!!!

Creations Chatter

By Mike Anthoni
God have you heard,  how awesome you are?

The sun shines so bright it warms my body like gramma's apple pie on a cold winter day,

God have you heard the news, how awesome you are?

Every morning like clock-work, I awake from last nights slumber, with no power of my own to control the clock of life,

God have you heard how awesome you are?

Every star in the galaxy has been named, every hair on our heads have been numbered.

God have you heard how awesome you are?

Rain comes down from the sky with the right amount of water to feed your creation,

God how awesome you are,

I can't help but give you the praise for mercies given unto me even though I don't deserve them.

The word awesome is to low of a praise for a God as big as you are,

How Awesome, how awesome, how awesome!

The Journey Man

Only what you do for Christ Shall Last!

By Mikel A. Walker Sr.

There was no place to lay His head;

A kingdom not able to be realized;

A wicked world of closed hearts and eyes;

Sensual, yet not alive;

Created to be alive, yet dead;

God's creation had gone awry;

A machine who chose to reject the Operator;

A creation with child like character, with no site of maturing;

A people wanting to control itself;

A spirit that rather rebel then to humble itself under almighty God;

A people that had lost the sense of what it meant to be kept by God;

The Journey Man surname, "Savior";

Fully God, fully Man and fully Creator;

He journeyed a long way from home;

With one goal in mind, "humanity";

A noble cause one might exclaim;

Death was the only remedy for the sickness that sin had caused;

Perfection of the law demanded a price to be paid, that only a perfect lamb without blemish could pay;

Sin had crept into the holy place and turned over the alter and ruined the sacrifice;

But God replaced the sacrifice with one who could make atonement, for the wrong caused by man;

Jesus Christ became that sacrifice, that we might have a chance once again at eternal life;

The Journey Man, off he went to His throne in a distant land until he will descend again.
