Have You Asked God About It?



"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering." - James 1:5-6 cf

Dear Friends,

So many times I have heard people say, often Christians, "don't question God."  Well that advice does not line up with scripture. If we are seeking answers, seeking solutions, or aspiring to gain wisdom, God is The One we can take our questions to. He provides answers by directing us through the study and application of His Word.

God wants us to seek Him. He wants us to cast our cares at His feet.  Our cares include our questions. The key accompaniment to the questioning, is the faith with which we approach God.
The scriptures tell us to ask in faith, not wavering. We can't go with a "wishy washy" approach. It is with a steadfast faith in a Strong and Mighty God that we must take our:  Why Lord? What does this mean Father? How much longer? Who can I turn to God? What is Your purpose for my life? 

 Have you ever asked the Lord any of these questions? I have.  Sometimes I received clear answers. Other times I felt as though God 's mighty hands held me, rocked me, patted me on the back and whispered, "Don't worry about it Stephanie just trust that I'll take care of it." 

Conversations, true communication is a give and take.  It is talking and listening. Statements and questions.  Prayer is conversation. In its most powerful form it is talking to God and listening to Him. It is a means of getting to know Him. 

So, what do you want to know? Have you asked God about it?

In Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
