Circumstances got you down?

If you missed Sunday's sermon, let me recommend that you listen to it online. Very good message for the earthly situations we are facing right now.

Read Matt. 6:25-34. This is the "Don't worry about tomorrow" command. It is so true. God knows what we need, when we need it.

As was suggested a couple of weeks ago, read a Psalm every day. Tonight he read Psalm 121 and 123.

Psalm 121 begins; "I lift my eyes to the hills; where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord; the Maker of heaven and earth." (Sound familiar - Praise You in This Storm)

Psalm 124 begins; "I lift my eyes to you"

Notice that in both, the psalmist is "lifing his eyes". We should focus our eyes upon God; lift them toward Him. Instead we lift our eyes to the thing of this world. We focus on the things of this world. DO WE EXPECT THE EARTH TO HELP US WITH OUR PROBLEMS; THE SAME EARTH THAT ONLY HAS CONTEMPT FOR GOD?

And always remember, we make time for the things that are most important to us. Where is your time spent?

Answering the call

When God talks, we should listen. Sometimes we don't slow down enough to really listen and if we do listen, we don't always act. We can come up with excuse after excuse to keep from answering the call. Obstacles are obstacles if we let them be.

I choose to listen. I choose to support my fellow women of God with encouragement, accountability, friendship, a listening ear.

Email me with suggestions, ideas, etc. that you want to share and I'll enter it into a post. We can "talk" through the comments.
