In My Sleep

 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord. - Jonah 2:9

Like Jonah I sometimes find myself going in a direction that is contrary to where the Lord has led me. 

This does not work out well. Ever. One songwriter penned: the safest place in the whole wide world is in the will of God. 

I bless God that He often stirs me up in my sleep. 

Sometimes the stirring is a song in the night that lasts all night. 

There are times when He sends shadows, turmoil that shakes me, bringing me back to my spiritual senses. 

Then there are times like last night when he covers my spirit with hope and visions of glory.

I dreamt of a baby girl whose cries turned to humming. I shouted to her parents: do you hear the melody she’s humming? Her parents and I leaned closer as the baby “cried hummed”, “Amazing Grace.”  I was overjoyed, it was a spectacular scene. 

The humming of the baby woke me. That which I heard in my sleep stirred my soul. 

“Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.  I once was lost but now I’m found. Twas blind but now I see.”

I got up from the bed and lifted my hands to the Lord. I asked God to forgive me of my sins. I thanked Him for instructing me, comforting me, guiding me, by the power of the Holy Spirit. 

In my sleep the Lord came near. Hallelujah. Bless His Holy Name. 

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
