If you don’t have a target, you sure as hell won’t hit it.
Zig Ziglar says, “Desire is the fuel for motivation.”
It’s crucial that we have a plan in life, for our wants and desires etc…
The bible says, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.”
I’m reminded that the foundation of everything I do MUST be Jesus Christ.
He is our rock. Our foundation. If you build anything else on with Him as your foundation it will be meaningless.
Like the builder who bui...Read more
Sometimes life is just hard. Today seemed especially tough. I woke up earlier and went back to bed. Looking at my circumstances I should be happy and thankful, but let’s just face it. I’m not. I could be somewhere, I could be doing something, I could be blah blah blah.
I woke up a second time this feeling a bit more refreshed. This reminded me of the bible verse, “His mercies are new every morning.” Also, “I will give you rest.” and.. “Those who wait on the Lord will not grow weary…” So I began having a conversation with God.
Ed: Wh...Read more
And David said to the men who stood by him, “What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?” (1 Samuel 17:26 ESV)
The spirit of God goes throughout his army looking for one person who is not afraid. God is looking for “one” person to stand in the gap. He searches for “one” man/woman who will be courageous.
“All the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and were much afra...Read more
Genesis 27
After hearing Isaac tell Esau to go out and hunt game(to receive the blessing) Rebecca prompted Jacob to go and get the blessing before his brother returned.
I never understood this story, of why would Rebecca tell her son to steal her older brothers blessing. Why would we deceive his father and gain something dishonorably?. It wasn’t until last night i gained a little more insight on this story.
Reading earlier chapters we see how while Jacob and Esau were in the womb, God told Rebecca “the older sh...Read more
This morning I listened to banning liebscher, and again he preached about the process. Really hit home again. What he said is so true. “It is dangerous to be out of season.”
The example he used was a semi truck that “jackknifes.” basically what happens is that the trailer is moving faster than the truck causing the the whole vehicle to loose control.
Whatever season we are in, God has us there for a reason. He is God, and I am not. How ever long he wants me in this season, Lord let me do it well.
Last few weeks The lord has been speaking to me about process.
Esther was prepared for “a time such as this.”
Joseph went through through his process to becoming a ” father to pharaoh.”
Today I was listening to Danny silk and he too was talking about the same thing. Ultimately it is all a build up for breakthrough.
The process and trials we go through today is the dam that is being built up for breakthrough tomorrow.
“Do not think to yourself that in the king’s palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews. For if you keep slient at this time, relief and deliverance will rise from the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish.”
Security isn’t found in gold, palaces or riches. Security comes from making the right decisions at crucial times. For we’ve all been called “for a time like this.”
Hi everybody,
I guess I’m back on wordpress.
It’s been about a year and I’ve learned a lot about myself.
I guess a big part of why i’m starting again is to get know myself, and more importantly who God’s created me to be.
I’m Learning to love, and more importantly… Learning to be loved.
