My God will supply ...

Habakkuk 3 the prayer that Habakkuk prayed, I want to personalize for myself.  Dear Abba Father, “ O Lord, now I have heard your report, and I worship You in awe for the fearful things you are going to do.  In this time of my deep need, begin again to help me, as you did in years gone by.  Show me Your power to save me, in Your wrath, remember mercy.

Lord God I see You moving across the deserts from Mount Sinai, Your brilliant splendor fills the earth and sky;  Your glory fills the heavens, and the earth is full of Your praise!  What a wonderful God YOU ARE!!!!

Lord, Abba Father from Your hands flash rays of brilliant light.  You rejoice in Your awesome power.  Pestilence marches before you; plague follows close behind.  You stop; You stand still for a moment, gazing at the earth.  The You shake the nations, scattering the everlasting mounts and leveling the hills.  Your power is just the same as always!!!  I see the people of Cushan and of Midian in mortal fear.

Abba Father was it in anger, Lord you smote the rivers and parted the sea?  Were You displeased with them?  No, You were sending Your chariots of salvation!  All saw Your power!!!  Then springs burst forth upon the earth at Your command!  The mountains watched and trembled.  Onward  swept the raging water.  The mighty deep cried out, announcing its surrender to the LORD.  The lofty sun and moon began to fade, obscured by brilliance from your arrows and the flashing of your glittering spear.

Lord You marched across the land in awesome anger and trampled down the nations in Your wrath.  You went out to save Your chosen people.  You crushed the head of the wicked and laid bare his bones from head to toe.  You destroyed with their own weapons those who came out like a whirlwind, thinking Israel would be an easy prey.

 Your horsemen marched across the sea; the mighty waters piled high. ¹⁶ I tremble when I hear all this; my lips quiver with fear. My legs give way beneath me, and I shake in terror. I will quietly wait for the day of trouble to come upon the people who invade us.

Even though the fig trees are all destroyed, and there is neither blossom left nor fruit; though the olive crops all fail, and the fields lie barren; even if the flocks die in the fields and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will be happy in the God of my salvation.  The Lord God is my strength; He will give me the speed of a deer and bring me safely over the mountains.”

Amen

Awesome Birthday for myself

Perseverance

2 Peter 1:6  New International Version (NIV)

⁶ and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;

I am currently a temp at a company and they are facing changes, the winds of change are rising up some standards for some and not for others.

Listening to them talk about their situation I feel sympathetic towards them but I can also see God’s hand at work in each one’s lives.  The person I really think has persevered is a lady that really went the extra mile and after a number of years she now faces the chance of being promoted.

It is clear to me that she persevered and God saw her heart and realized her dream of being promoted.  How awesome is our God, He promotes each of us as He sees fit.  It sad the others are angry and feeling resentment but they didn’t worry about her while they were moving up in life.  Now it’s through her perseverance that she finally is being rewarded for a job well done.

To describe her I want to refer to the above passage, ‘to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;’ this is so clear in her live.  She is a person who is self-controlled, she has persevered and she is wearing a garment of godliness.  Praise the Lord for her!

Take a chance on life!

Take a chance on life, love and your future!

It feels like I have missed out so much in my life and that I only recently woke up.  I was always so afraid of taking chances.  Risk seemed to be something I would not consider and it kept me locked up inside.

I met my school boyfriend after an interval in my life of 30 years plus.  I started changing and I started venturing out and taking chances.  My now husband is someone that seems to invite intrigue and wonder in my life.

The wonder of all things in the world and how it’s made and whether I am able to conquer it seems to drive me right now.  The challenge of writing and getting noticed is always so awesome and wonderful to see the number of ‘hits on my personal blog’.  The driving sense of being able to write a couple of spiritual words and my own thoughts and publishing it bring me a satisfaction I cannot explain.

Since I seem to feel so versatile I want to expand as much as possible and of course I was able to secure a temporary position with a company.  I realized the need for baking and I took the opportunity and started baking some cakes which I enjoy decorating.  I have sold a number of my cakes and the orders are still coming in.

Taking chances in my life right now is what I am all about.  The driving force behind me is the fact that I have someone that believes in me, that this man thinks the world of me and always helps me.  I cannot think of one reason why I shouldn’t take chances.

I am alive and my chance to expand is growing each day.  I am a chance taker with great opportunities.

Are you on your Damascus Road?

Acts 26 New International Version (NIV)

¹⁵ “Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?’
“ ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied. ¹⁶ ‘Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen and will see of me. ¹⁷ I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them ¹⁸ to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’”

Are you on your Damascus Road?  Goals set and tasks at hand Paul and his companions were on their way to persecute a number of Christians.  Not knowing that Paul now was traveling into a destination of change.  A Pharisee with his mind made up against these Christians talking about the risen Christ.  He would purge them from this earth.

A supernatural encounter occurs, a bright light, lighter than the sun engulfs Paul and his companions pushing them to the ground.  In this light Paul hears a voice speaking to him in Aramaic, saying: ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’

Paul hears the voice stating that it is Jesus and Jesus now has appointed Paul as a servant and as a witness of what he has seen and will see of the LORD Jesus.

God sure does have a different perspective on life and He does come into our lives so differently.  It is my desire that the LORD will touch my life with His spirit and open my eyes to the Word of God.  Helping me to understand more and grow more but most of all so that I am able to become more like Jesus.  

I want to be a vessel the Lord God is able to use as I don’t feel that I have the required skills and knowledge.  I feel that I let the Lord down constantly.
