Let Go and Let God!

One day my family and I went to the beach for a picnic. The kids brought along my youngest son's special toy, a green and yellow ball that he had for a long time. We were playing with the ball when it got away from us into the water. The current was strong and the water was choppy and we were all sad to see it go. I felt for my son. At one time it even seemed like the ball was calling out for us to come and get it but we could not. In fact, we were thankful to God that we did not let our feelings supercede His wisdom. The water was too dangerous and the ball was moving quickly. We had no choice but to let it go. To consider it lost. At that time it was the best thing for us to do. Similarly in life situations there will be times that we will have to know when to Let Go.

Let Go and Let God!

There may things in our lives that may look good, feel good, seem good but may not be right for us. We may try to hold on to these things longer than we should to our own detriment. We must be sensitive to God's timing. We must ask Him to show us what He wants for us and when He wants it. Jesus said in the model prayer that we should pray to God, "Thy kingdom come thy will be done." Let us pray this prayer today and ask God to guide us and teach us when to hold on and when to let go. He promised in psalm 32:8 that He will guide us and show us the way we should go. His way is perfect so today we can trust in Him.

My meditation of Him shall be sweet!

This is the declaration of the Psalmist David as he spoke of the Lord's greatness. He blessed the Lord and ascribed greatness to Him. He exponded on His majesty and honor, His splendid nature and faithfulness to His creation. He then declared that He would sing praise to God as long as he lives. He says that his meditation of God will be sweet and that he will be glad in the Lord. Meditation God has called all us to live and enjoy His abundant life. One of the tools that God has given us to preserve and practice the abundant life is meditation. As in natural, so in the spiritual, the right foods when eaten sustains us physically, so the right spiritual conditioning will strengthen us spiritually, guaranteeing our spiritual success. The art of meditation calls for discipline. It is a setting apart of oneself to get close to God. Someone said whatever you pay attention to will grow. My time spent with God causes my relationship with him to grow. I will have greater awareness ...

Count Your Blessings!!

Count your many blessings see what God has done! As the year closes we may be tempted to think of the negative things that might have taken place in our lives. Let me encourage you that before you go off on a negative rant, think of all the good things that has happened to you in spite of. Take on a new attitude, call it an "in spite of -I am grateful attitude." I am Blessed! Whatever it maybe, you have made it to the end of 2011 and now ready for 2012. You have more mountains to climb and more valleys to walk through. You are not getting weaker but in Christ growing stronger. You are not just going to be a conqueror, you are, according to God's word, "more than a conqueror." The fact that you are alive makes you a candidate for God's blessing. So today "count your blessings" and as the song says, "name them one by one and it will surprise you what the Lord has done." You are blessed, so be a blessing to someone. Have a Happy and Bl...

Push Forward!

There are times when you feel as though you are walking through a strong sand storm and the winds of adversity seem to be pushing you backwards everytime you try to move forward. This is what life is all about. Life at its best brings with it lots of joy but with some level of adversity. I want to say to you today to push forward and fight back not in your strength, but in the strength that God gives you. Ways that will help us in pushing forward: Queen Esther had a difficult situation. Her uncle's life was at stake, so she set out to do something about it but before she proceeded she used what I think is one of the greatest tools in helping us to succeed in adversity. She prayed and fasted. She told her folks to pray and fast for her. We know the results, the wickedness that was meant to destroy her and her loved ones fell back on the one who planned it. God helped her to gain the strength during this difficult time to do an unusual thing. Have a right attitude! Another...
