What are you believing God for?

Do you trust God enough to take Him at His word? Not only for your neighbor or friend..., but for you?

Ps. 34: 4&5  I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.  Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.

The Lord is working on me to work out my fears, my anxiousness, and to just stand on His word, His promises, and watch and see what He'll do in and through me. To be still and know that He is God.  I need to relax and just enjoy the each moment, to pass through the gate. (Isa. 62:10)
Today, I will be going to An Affair of the Heart craft show.  This show is the largest craft show in Tulsa, and I have looked forward to it for a couple of weeks.  Here is my fear, silly as it sounds, I become overwhelmed.  Not so much with the people, but with the stuff...the "eye candy".  My sense of focus, direction and purpose become lost in the hoards of stuff.  It has been so overwhelming sometimes, I just have to leave.  The moments lost, the joy lost, the day lost.
I am tired of being overwhelmed, and tired of missing the joy, tired of losing my focus, tired of succumming to defeat!  Today is the beginning of a fearless me!  With the Lord hemming me in, and the angel of the Lord encamped around me, who am I to fear!  I will Rise, by His strength, I will Rise!
Today, I will go expecting to meet Him there!  To see God and let Him overwhelm me!  I will rest in His peace, because I trust in His unfailing love!  I fully expect my face to be radiant!

Jer. 32:17 Ah, Sovereign Lord,  you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you! 
Phil 4:7  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus!

Prov. 16:9  In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.

This is what I learned yesterday.  The day was neatly planned in my mind, however none of it went the way I thought it should.  From the git-go, because of a delay, I was out of step all day.  I was headed toward the gate, but couldn't find my way in.  The day was not a bad day, I just didn't get my way.  Lord forgive me for my selfishness.  Thank you for this new day, Sunday to start the day with Thanksgiving, and praise for you!

Col 1:9-12  For this reason, since the day we heard about you , we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.  And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way:  bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.

Lord, let it be!  Amen

He's Calling

He's Calling me....

Come in, enter fully through the gates!

Isa. 62:10  Pass through, pass through the gates! Prepare the way for the people.  Build up, build up the highway!  Remove the stones.  Raise a banner for the nations.

He's Calling me....
Requiring me to be fully present in each moment of each day. My mind fully engaged in the now (not what I'm doing next, or what I already did) and seeing Him in it all.
Come in, enter fully through the gates.

He's Calling me.....
To see, to hear, to feel, to smell, to taste - and to spread the fragrance of the knowlege of Him, to be the aroma of Christ. 2 Cor. 2:14, 15
Come in, enter fully through the gates.

He's Calling me.....do you hear?  Is He calling you too?
