A Quick Post: Calming The Storm

Beloved, as I think about storms now, I can’t help but realize we have a departments, teams and systems in place that try to study storms, in order to create a better warning system and deliver more accurate news of its size and destructive force.

Amazing how the storms of life take us by surprise just like “natural disasters.” Nothing we do can stop the storms from coming, and all we can do is remain informed and prepare the best we can.


Now, as I spend quiet time with God, I tell Him “ Lord, my greatest aim in life is to know You and be known by You.”

I desire to know God’s heart and mind. To know His love and His peace. To know His compassion and His mercy. To live in His grace, and be taught by Him, how to be the best me I can be.


Through careful examination, I say to the Lord, “It’s aggravating to try and figure everything out, and to constantly ask why do You do all the things You do, the way You do them? Why did You allow such things to happen? No! I don’t want the aggravation Lord. I want to walk with You. I don’t want to go against you because that leads to destruction. I don’t want to go away from You because that leads to separation. I want to walk with You, where You know the way. You will protect me. You will provide for me... You will lead me to the life everlasting.”


I want to trust more, and worry less.
I want to laugh more, and stress less.
I want to love more, and war less.
I want hope to remain with me, and faith to shine greatly from me.
I want to desire God more, and desire everything else less.
I want to be strong, bold and courageous, instead of weak, timid and fearful.
I really want to trust more and ask why less.

I know it is possible with God, so with God I will remain. God is the only One to get me where I want to be... The Promise Land, where He and everything He is, is at! Amen.


I believe we as a human race will go further along, as soon as the reality of trusting God more and asking ‘why’ less is firmly our policy.


Beloved, TRUST GOD MORE

Does The Heavenly Father Hear Us?

Today’s blog post will cause the heart to open up and be healed. It will cause doubt to be extinguished. It will cause worry to be quieted, and it will cause you to change the question into a sure answer...

Man! This is tough

*A lesson can be learned from the Book of Daniel. There were three
young men who at all cost were decided on being obedient to God. Their
names were: Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.

King Nebuchadnezzar was the King in that day. King Nebu (as I like to
call him...LOL) in all his foolishness decided what better way to
display his power and respect then to construct a huge! gold statue
for all to worship.

King Nebu, even decreed that anyone who would not bow to the statue
would be thrown into a fiery furnace. Because of Hananiah, Mishael,
and Azariah holiness that set them apart from the world, and their
obedience to God, they would not bow down to the statue, and King
(Nebu) in his extreme anger over the three young men not following his
ways, he commanded that the fiery furnace be heated 7 times hotter,
before the three young men were to be thrown into it. That's serious!

In (Daniel 3:16-18) I love how the obedience and faith these young men
had is illustrated so well. The three young men say to King Nebu,
'they wouldn't have to defend themselves before the king, and that God
who they serve is able to save them,' but they also say to the king
(verse 18) "But even if he (God) doesn't (save them), we want to make
it clear to you, Your majesty, that we will never serve your gods or
worship the gold statue you have set up."

What can be taken and learned from this?
