Vacations are Good For You

'In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.' Proverbs 16:9 (NIV)


 I don't even have one collectible souvenir plate of the states. So, here the planning starts. Here is where it begins. Here's the humans planning their course part. Here, look here, I have charted out a direct route to the east. Here is where I could take a 15 hour, 1000 miles times 2, trip to see the Capitol! It's a place we've always wanted to visit. The Museum of the Bible is definitely a must see. 

In our hopes to collect a plate from each state, we might consider a visit, rather than just a drive through. Vacations are good for your health they say. We wouldn't want to miss catching up with friends and family along the way, so giving it a day per state sounds doable. I can see absolutely no reason to rush through this vacation if it is God's Will. If it is God's Will He will make a way and make it a mission field. Five states here, five states there! Let's do it. There is no time like the present. There is no time to delay. There are so many things out there to see! After I put a pencil to the budget. After tax season. He will direct our steps. All we have to do is to be available and willing to go. This sounds so exciting! He will keep the path laid out before us and will bring us safely to our destination and back home again.

 Dear Father. Thank You for the desires that You have placed on my heart. When I am in Your Will and make Your Glory my end, I know that You will be right beside me every step of the way, directing my steps with Your Spirit and grace. Thank you that You have helped me to start. I see You in it and there at the beginning. I know whenever You are in it, because there is no doubt and fear is gone. I would be no where without You. You are behind the set up and have initiated the whole thing. You put it all in motion, the places where You want me to be are right there on the map. There really are so many possibilities and exciting adventures await us. You are the Spirit that gets me going and keeps me moving. I praise You.

Thank you for the last four years of peace. Thank you for our President who helped reveal the darkness and who built the walls to protect us and tore down the walls of injustice and hate. He set the stage. He believed in us. He cared. He showed us what we could do if we followed Your Way. He fought for freedom. He prayed in Your Name. Yes He did. You anointed Him for this time and for us. He needs a vacation from all of his hard work. Protect him and his family from harm and may the truth be revealed about the malicious plans of the enemy elite. Reveal and bring to justice. You, Lord have great things planned for Your Saints. We worship You for who You are and what You are doing to return us to righteousness. In Jesus's name. Amen.

The Day of the Lord Approaches

Image
' not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches.' Hebrews 10:25 (VOICE) Days of future trials are coming and yet are here. Last days. The day of His return approaches. No one knows the hour. So we are told to be even more diligent in our calling. We should be always watching, praying and bringing a word of encouragement to one another through the power of God. For what signs and wonders happen in the House of the Lord! Oh so amazing. The Miraculous. God provides the Fire. The battle is the Lords. We are told not to fret but only to enjoy the ride as we thank Him. So as I pray I want to thank you Lord. I am totally devoted to You. Equip me to preach the gospel. Now is the time and I will not forget my mission. As I arise I will not forget to put on my Full Armor of God. I will cling to your Bible. I am committed to carry it with me. I will hold it up as a sword in the town ...

The Look

Image
' Looking straight into their eyes, Jesus replied, “Humanly speaking, no one, because no one can save himself . But what seems impossible to you is never impossible to God!”' Matthew 19:26 (TPT) So if the poor deal with envy and the rich with pride, who then can get in? Who can be saved? None, except through the grace of God. Only God can save us. Only God can change the hearts and minds of men. Nothing is impossible to Him.  Dear Father Thank you for loving us and sending us Your Son Jesus our Savior even while we were yet sinners. When we were sinners You pursued us and turned our hearts toward You.  With just one look You could see into our souls. You knew what we needed. You did what needed to be done. You did the thing that seemed impossible to man. You perfected a Way for us to be reconciled to You and even with our sinful natures. You made converts out of us. It's nothing we could have done on our own without You. We could never doubt You. You cleaned us ...

A Warrant to Believe

Image
' By “the Lord” what I mean is the Spirit, and in any heart where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is liberty.' 2 Corinthians 3:17 (VOICE ) Holy Spirit thou art welcome in this place. For wherever the Spirit is there is Life and Liberty. The Spirit brings with it freedom. Joy. Believers, we are blessed. God is gracious. Through the Cross, He has given us a way to be free from the law of sin and death. The veil between us and God has been lifted. The Holy Spirit brings the Light of Christ which illuminates and frees us from former blindness and darkness. The Spirit brings regeneration and sanctification as we are changed and made more like Christ everyday. We are free to walk in the ways of the Lord. Oh how we need thee this very hour Holy Spirit. Issue to us a warrant not as in the world and its laws, but of the gospel to believe. We do believe in You. Thank You Lord! Dear Father We repent to You this day, that we have failed to seek more of You. You kno...
