Keep Stepping... Week of March 24, 2019

1 Samuel 20:2-4 King James Version (KJV)

2 And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will shew it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.
3 And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.
4 Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.
Dear Friends,
David was running for His life.  At every turn Saul was pursuing him.  King Saul sought to take David's life.  By the grace of God, there was always an escape plan for David to avoid the snares of Saul.  Sometimes, the escape was "a matter of steps."  David kept moving.  
Each of us by the hands of the same Gracious God are here to enjoy life for another day.  
  • For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your heart... (Psalm 95:7-8a)
He is Our God and our life is hid in Christ.  It is true that we do not know when we are taking the last step, singing the last song, praying the last prayer.  Yet, it is imperative that we "keep stepping."  Keep stepping in our work to bring glory to the Name of Jesus.  Keep stepping in letting our light shine.  Keep stepping in showing love for one another.  Don't stop.  Weary sometimes, but keep moving.  The steps may slow down.  Sometimes we have to keep stepping while standing in one place.  Yet, we move.  We must keep stepping.

  • For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.  - Acts 17:28
Thank you God for the grace to keep on going.  Thank you for the empowering of the Holy Ghost to continue to press forward.  Thank you God for leading us, guiding us and ordering our steps.

Keep stepping my brothers and sisters!
God bless you.

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
