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

Unlimited Access

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"     - I Timothy 2:5 Dear Friends, "Please listen carefully for our options have changed."  I stay on the line listening to each option. More often than not there are at least seven.  If none of the options meet the need you have the final option of pressing "0" for the operator.   I praise God that on this Christian journey.  The access options do not change.  There is only One. One God, One Mediator, the man Christ Jesus. Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice to provide us with unlimited access to the throne of God. We are never put on hold when we reach out to God. Prayer is a direct line through Jesus Christ.  Our worship, our praise is to the One and Only God.  Worthy is the Lamb. Praise God for Unlimited Access through Jesus Christ Our Lord. God bless! in Christ, Sis. Stephanie

The Journey Here

  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. - Psalms 23:4 The journey here...that is really something to think about.  Where we are in life as compared to where we had hoped to be.  Paths chosen while other were forgotten or neglected.  Decisions.  Times of indecisiveness. There were times we crawled. Too weary to walk.  We ran. We were too impatient to wait.   The journey.  Here.  That is really something to think about. For me the most difficult and sometimes debilitating aspect of the journey, has been walking through the valley of the shadow of death.  Tempted to fear due to memories of time I could have spent, conversations I should have had, hugs I wish I had given.  This type of fearful fretting is not of God.  I have learned; I am learning that if I truly believe, He is with me.  If I surely stand on His promi...

If We Live

  For  that  ye ought to say, If the Lord  will ,  we  shall live, and  do   this ,  or   that .                                                   - James 4:15 If I live to see tomorrow... I remember hearing adults say this when I was a child.  Tomorrow seemed to be some miraculous day.  Big things were going to happen.  Something special was in store.  I began to think and say aloud: I can't wait until tomorrow. I did not realize that the biggest factor in "tomorrow" was if the Lord willed us to live to see it.  Everything, each and every day rested in the will of God.  So, what about today? How about some reframing.  "The Lord has blessed me with today. He allowed me this day."  How about doing something in the now. Procrastination is a thief.  It is a threat to hope....
