In An Orderly Fashion - Week of February 24, 2019

Psalm 50:23 King James Version (KJV)

23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.

Dear Friends,
Several years ago I found myself in a place of chaos.  I remember sitting on my bed surrounded by papers and in exasperation I cried out Lord please "order it" for me.  I just continued to repeat this over and over.  Lord "order it."  All of it.
I was not just concerned about my steps but I wanted God to order all of my life.  Order it Lord.  Ordered thoughts.  Ordered family.  Ordered conversation.  Order me.  Set it right Lord.  Fix it Jesus.  Please line things up.  Father God straighten things out.   I am at the end of myself and I cannot do it.
I cannot move.  I cannot think straight.  Things are not going to get done.  God just order it for me.  
In an orderly fashion, step by step and situation by situation God is putting things in order for me.  Through His Word He leads me.  By His Spirit the Lord assures me that everything is being put in place.  
I found out as a result of that day not so long ago that true transformation begins when we get to the end of ourselves and relinquish control of "the all of it" to God. It is then, in an orderly fashion that the Lord quiets and steadies our spirit.
Thank you Father God for order.
God bless,
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
