Before You Make Your Move



15 The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16 A man's gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.
17 He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.  - Proverbs 18:15-17

Dear Friends,

Sometimes we are just ready for a change. We can become tired of the same old same old. There is a desire for things to be different.  We resolve that this year will be unlike those that have gone before.  

Please consider the Word of God before you make your move.  There are many accounts of men and women in the scriptures who made decisions, waged wars and abandoned posts without consulting God.  There were consequences.  In some instances there was room for recovery in others the damage done was beyond repair.

In Proverbs 18:15 we are told that the prudent, those who are steady, steadfast -- get knowledge.  They seek wisdom.  

Before you make your move, before you act on any decisions such as:
  • Taking a job
  • Selecting a college
  • Buying a house
  • Getting married
  • Sending that "quick response" email
  • Making that "hasty" phone call
Before you make your move consult God.


Proverbs 3:5-6  instructs us to:

 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Remember, before you make your move...

in Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

SHIFT KEY

  1 Corinthians 13:12 “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”  It all depends on how you look at it. What’s your focus? Is the picture clear or blurry? Do you need to crop the photo for a better view? A little shift in focus can be key.  Shifting the way you look at things can make a big difference.  I am looking at the shift key on my keyboard. I have options. Lower case or uppercase. Numerical or special characters. Failure to shift correctly can cause denied access because my password is not recognized. Shift is key. Some things can be better understood if we take the time to change our focus.  Zoom in on what really matters.  Stop looking at things that appear  insurmountable. Instead shift your focus. Look at God. The view is breathtaking when I look up. I see Jesus. He sees me. I am shifting my focus. Eyes lifted up. I see where my help comes from. My help comes from the Lord. The Lord who

Through the Eyes of Faith ...By Grace

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of work, lest anyone should boast.   - Ephesians 2:8-9  “Amazing grace shall always be my song of praise for it was grace that bought my liberty. I don’t know why He chose to love me so. He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs.”  So much has happened since the last time I “saw” you. The changing circumstances of the journey have been stabilized by an Unchanging God.   Journey on my sisters and brothers. Bask in the knowledge that unfailing mercy and sufficient grace surround you.   Grace makes new beginnings possible. We can begin again. The time is now. The choice? It’s yours. Yours for the asking.  Through the eyes of faith…we see Jesus.  God bless! In Christ,  Sis. Stephanie
