The Father Knows Best... Week of January 27, 2019

Jeremiah 6:16 King James Version (KJV)

16 Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

Dear Friends,
The prophet had declared previously that a great national calamity was imminent. He instructed the people to stand and seek advice as to what direction they should move in. He proclaimed the Word of the Lord:
  • Stand ye in the ways and
  • See
  • and
  • ask
  • for the old paths
  • where is
  • the good way
  • and
  • walk therein
They were given good advice but they rejected it and chose to go their own way.

The Father knows best.  God gives us directions that are for our good.  This is true even when it hurts.  Proverbs 3 tells us to trust in the Lord and lean not unto our own understanding. Why?  The Father knows best.
We are told in the Word: Be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath. Why?
The Father knows best.  We are told not to be wise in our own eyes but to fear the Lord and depart from evil. Why? The Father knows best.
We are told: He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Why? The Father knows best.

The decision you are facing...the job you seek...the relationship you desire...whatever the path...please remember to consult The Father.  The Father knows best.

God Bless!
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
