Spiritual Quietness

Sometimes, it good to get away from the noise. Go somewhere quiet to gather your thoughts. That's a rare commodity in my life. There's the noise of the road, noise of the boys, and noise of a busy office. Often times I can't wait to be alone with the Master. We all need spiritual quietness from time to time. Spiritual quietness is a mini revival where you get into the scriptures and absorb all of God's wisdom. This is a time to repent of sins, to renew spiritual promises you made and to communion with the Creator. It's a time of reflection of the past and preparing up for the future. You can have your spiritual quietness early in the morning when everyone asleep or take a nature walk in the middle of the day. How about grabbing your bike and ride the bike trail. Wherever you go and however you get there, take your Bible. On your spiritual journey of quietness, remienscence on the goodness of God. Awe Him! Thank Him for all the times he came to your rescue. Spiritual quietness is a time of reflection of Jesus' death. Therefore, grab that blanket, cooler filled with food and drinks, and take your bible to some place away from people and be with God. He rarely get the chance to have uninterrupted time with you. He deserves that much, don't you think?

Understanding It Better By and By

Funny how life has a way of showing you what you’re made of. When adversity hits, what you say you wouldn't do becomes easier to do. When the rubber meets the road, yes! you do the unthinkable. Let's say you have a house fire and on the second floor is your baby and mom. You can only save one, which would it be? I've heard many say they would grab the baby since mom has been around a long time. I couldn't say. I'm not in that situation right now. There's no way to know what to do until tragedy hits. Some can handle atrocities, whereas; other have no clue how to maneuver suffering nor know why hardship occurs. Stop trying to figure out why hardships happens--only the Father knows. He won't have you guessing long. The underlining reason at the end of your trials gives away the mystery. Experiencing hardship isn't fun but you will come out with more insight than ever before....

The Rain

There is something about rain. It is soothing. Therapists play relaxing sounds of rain during sessions. It calms the mind. On my way to church, a drizzle of rain hit my windshield. The sky was dark and gloomy. I noticed above the clouds the sun shining regardless of its surroundings. Troubles in your life mimics the dark clouds and the sun represents the Son of God shining in your life (2 Samuel 23:4). The Old Testament speaks of rain in the aspect that God gives and withholds rain, which is a sign of God’s favor or disfavor: Joel 2:23; Job 29:23; Jerm 3:3. Who tips the water-jars of Heaven (Job 38:37)? Who gives the rain in it season (Jeremiah 5:24)? Who sends an abundance of rain when needed (Psalm 68:9)? It’s not just the presence and absence of rain that’s important but the timing. God provides what you need at the right time: Rain teaches us: · Wait for the Father to fight your...

Get Ready

W hen the Children of God came to the Red Sea, no doubt their motivation levels were very low. They had Pharaoh and his army behind them, mountains on the sides of them and the Red Sea ahead of them. There seemed to be no way out of this saga. A movie where the villain has the good person cornered. You wonder how they were going to get out of it. God's people waited 450 years to be released from Egypt and right at their blessing (crossing the Red Sea), the God's Children cries out to Moses, "Because there were no graves in Egypt, has thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? Wherefore has thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than we should die in the wilderness." Moses answers the people by saying, "Fear ye not, stand still and see the salvation ...
