A PLACE TO LAY HIS HEAD

 

Matthew 8:20

“And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.”


As a young girl I heard a sermon where the preacher said 

Jesus didn’t have a place to lay His head. 

Now I am sure the preacher said more than that. 

But the thought that stayed with me was that 

Jesus didn’t have a house, 

a bed, 

or even a pillow. 


At least this is the narrative I created in my mind.


I thought, I have these things. 

Poor Jesus. 

People are treating Him so bad.


When I went to bed that night 

I slept on the edge of the bed, 

on the edge of the pillow. 

I told Jesus He could lay His head on my pillow.

A child’s heart.


I know the Lord remembers the “me” of yesteryears.


I came to realize that the residence the Lord seeks is a willing heart.

If we abide in Him, 

He will abide in us.


A willing heart.

A place to lay His head.


God bless✨ 

In Christ,

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...

Believing God

  Philippians 1:6 “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform  it  until the day of Jesus Christ:” Preparing for the next chapter. Cleaning the clutter inside and out.  Reevaluating priorities.  Seeking a revival.  Believing God.  Slowing down a bit.  Focusing on spiritual wellness.  Taking care of my business.  Exercising faith.  Believing God. Stopping to view the sunrise.  Appreciating the sunset.  Planting flowers.  Picking some… Believing God.  Being thankful.  Being kind.  Being… Just being. Believing God.  God bless. In Christ, Sis.
