Burning issue: Am I a stumbling block? [Jesus Christ is my Lord]




Psalm 69: 6 

6 O Lord God of the armies of heaven, don’t let me be a stumbling block to those who trust in You.  O God of Israel, don’t let me cause them to be confused, 

A constant checking and searching of my life I truly hope that I am not a stumbling block to any of my family and friends.  God knows my heart and I can be difficult and I don’t accept things just the way they are.

I have noticed people will place little notes around on Facebook for instance if you feel people have disappointed you, it is because you looked to people for guidance and not to God.  Seriously!  In all my ears have I come to realize that people are fickle and they will disappoint you?  I cannot say that I will trust people on face value; I have to get to know you before I will let you into my personal space.
I trust and believe in God, not matter what other people say or think.  To me if it is written in the Word of God then God said it and I believe it and that is that.


Prayer

Lord God, it feels like I am born again, I believe and trust in You.  Thank You Lord Jesus that You died on the cross for my sins; washing me white as snow with Your Blood.  Lord and giving me the boldness to confess “I am the righteousness of God in Christ.”  Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
