Sometimes We Just Have to Stand Still - Week of November 4, 2018

Psalm 119:10-11 King James Version (KJV)

10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Dear Friend,
Sometimes we just have to stand still.  Stand still until it is clear which direction the way the Lord want you to move. Standing still is not doing nothing.  It takes faith, it takes gumption to stand still.  Put on the whole armour and stand.  The scripture says, having done "all to stand."  When we are in what seems to be a holding pattern we must keep on serving.  The true test of our faith often comes when we are standing still.  For it is in this posture that we often face the most criticism.  "Look at her, look at him...she used to be..."  Well truth be told there are no use to be's with God.  God is accomplishing His purpose in our lives in spite of what it looks like to others.  "Don't matter what it looks like it only matters what it is." - sdktyus   Sometimes we just have to stand still until His will is clear.  May God bless you as you stand
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
