"Our individuality is to be rendered radiant..."

You have a call, you have a vision that you believe God has given you. You find your self in the midst of making a decision. Should I go or should I stay? You want to do what you feel is right for your life and for you relationship with God. If you think of what Moses had gone through when he came upon the burning bush. A lowly (in his mind) Shepard being the leader of millions of people.

We may have the vision of God and a very clear understanding of what God wants, and yet when we start to do it, there comes to us something equivalent to Moses’ forty years in the wilderness. It’s as if God had ignored the entire thing, and when we are thoroughly discouraged, God comes back and revives His call to us. And then we begin to tremble and say, “Who am I that I should go . . . ?” We must learn that God’s great stride is summed up in these words— “I AM WHO I AM . . . has sent me to you” (Exodus 3:14). We must also learn that our individual effort for God shows nothing but disrespect for Him— our individuality is to be rendered radiant through a personal relationship with God, so that He may be “well pleased” (Matthew 3:17). We are focused on the right individual perspective of things; we have the vision and can say, “I know this is what God wants me to do.” But we have not yet learned to get into God’s stride. If you are going through a time of discouragement, there is a time of great personal growth ahead.

The Lord’s Prayer

The Lord’s Prayer is the prayer above all prayers. It is a prayer which the most high Master taught us, wherein are comprehended all spiritual and temporal blessings, and the strongest comforts in all trials, temptations and troubles, even in the hour of death.
Martin Luther

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. Matthew 6:9-13

Birthdays

Birthdays can be so much fun
It is another year to look forward to
What Jesus can do for you?
And another year to look up and ask
“Jesus, What can I do for you?”

You are one year older, but as all can see
You are one year better
You may feel older and you may feel younger
But all in all you have to admit
You look pretty good

Birthdays are just another day
Live long and prosper
Live hard and Love it
Live righteous and Love Jesus
Live like today is the last day of the Rest of your life.

HAVE A GREAT AND BLESSED DAY!

God wants us to approach life, full of expectancy...

God wants us to approach life, full of expectancy that God is going to be at work in every situation as we release our faith in Him. Colin Urquhart

Do you let God control you life or do you tell God what you want Him to control in your life, or perhaps you just want total control and on the occation ask for God's help.

For us to live a God fill life and Christ centred life we need to consider giving total Control to God.
Then we can live by the scriptur that reads in Philipians 4:13:

I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.

So when you aer about to do something pray  and ask for God's help. He is so waiting to hear from you..

The Small Stuff

Little things come daily, hourly, within our reach, and they are not less calculated to set forward our growth in holiness than are the greater occasions which occur but rarely. Moreover, fidelity in trifles, and an earnest seeking to please God in little matters, is a test of real devotion and love. Let our aim be to please our dear Lord perfectly in little things, and to attain a spirit of childlike simplicity and dependence.

Jean-Nicolas Grou

Wow how deep is this. If you think that God in Hi infinite wisdom takes care of the sparrows why do we center ourselves on the large events in life. Consider this when you have just a small thing comes up, that you might think at that very moment, is so insignificant that it doesn't matter, but in God's eyes it does.
You ask what little things, well how about holding the door for someone or when you have someone say "Thank you" say "Your Welcome" rather than saying "No Problem". The little things in life do matter. Smile at someone. Or walking in a mall or down the street, look at people and smile and say good morning! Keep your countenance one of Joy and you will find the little things often come. They give opportunity to perhaps even share your love of Jesus.
 
God Bless You This Day

MOMENT INTIME

I write this blog wondering if there are any individuals that read it (other than my gorgeous love - Lorie)

Do you ever just sit and think about all the goings on of life?
Do you ever just sit and gaze at the stars at night?
Do you ever just like to hear the rain fall or even walk in a rain?
How about listening to the wind blow through the trees? (I like wind blowing through poplar trees best)

Is there is a time just a moment in time that seems to slow for you.
Just think about it. When I was a young lad I remember going down the stairs fast, yes too fast, then I remember falling, but not really falling I never got hurt, I just seemed to float down the stairs. Was it that moment in time? or was it an angel guiding me? I will never know, but what I do know is that I did have that moment when I saw my Lorie walking down the isle at our wedding day...what a beauty. I will never forget that.

Well think about it.. more to come...

Have a Blessed day!

"Oh, That Will Have To Do For Now!"

How relevant to what Mark Hughes preached on Sunday at http://www.harvestcity.sk.ca/messages/index.htm

If we allow some area of our life to spin out of control, God will continue to bring it up until we deal with it. Many of us appear to be all right in general, but there are still some areas in which we are careless and lazy; it is not a matter of sin, but the remnants of our carnal life that tend to make us careless. Carelessness is an insult to the Holy Spirit. We should have no carelessness about us either in the way we worship God, or even in the way we eat and drink. Not only must our relationship to God be right, but the outward expression of that relationship must also be right. Ultimately, God will allow nothing to escape; every detail of our lives is under His scrutiny. God will bring us back in countless ways to the same point over and over again. And He never tires of bringing us back to that one point until we learn the lesson, because His purpose is to produce the finished product. Beware of becoming careless over the small details of life and saying, “Oh, that will have to do for now.” Whatever it may be, God will point it out with persistence until we become entirely His.
Oswald Chambers
