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

Help…My Help

  Psalms 46:1   “God  is our  refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Help.  God is my Help. Always present…in trouble and in triumph.  Help. God is my Help.  I lift up my eyes knowing my help comes from the Lord.  All my help.  Every need supplied. He is My Support. He is The Solution. My Benefactor. Ever providing. Always nourishing. Constantly replenishing. Help. God is My Help. God bless. In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

THE WHAT AND THE SOEVER

  Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things  are honest , whatsoever things  are  just, whatsoever things  are  pure, whatsoever things  are  lovely, whatsoever things  are  of good report; if  there be  any virtue, and if  there be  any praise, think on these things.” The truth is Jesus. Honestly. This is a fact. Scripture declares Him to be. The Way, the Truth, the Life. His ways are holy and just. His Word is pure. He is altogether lovely. Focusing on the whatsoever things is to abide in the peace of God. Thoughts centered on bountiful blessings. Determined to dwell on the goodness of God rather than the constant chaos perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The What is also the Who.  He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. Matchless in power and might. He is the Faithful and True. He holds the balance in His Hands. God weighs the intent of the heart. True Hones...

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...
