Take Heed






Have you had one of those days where everything is going well?  The children doing well in school. Spouse happy.  Your job is going well. Bills all paid.  Then disaster hits. Stuff happens you didn’t expect.  The microwave stops working.  A storm comes through and destroy towns. The car dies.  You name it, it happens.  When all is good, take heed.  Remember who owns this world. Satan doesn’t want you to be happy.  He feeds off your misery and sadness.

Jesus had a day when all went well.  In Luke 3:16-17, John baptized Jesus.  Immediately coming out of the water, Jesus saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit of God descended on Him like a dove.  Suddenly, a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased.”  A great bonding time with the Father! Then comes the devil.  After Jesus’ baptism, the Holy Spirit led Him into the wilderness to be tempted by Satan. Although Jesus led into the wilderness by the Spirit, this shows Satan fell within the purpose of God. The temptation happened because God allowed it.

It seems Satan finds the wrong time to attack you, when in fact God allow the attack for His purpose.  You say you love the Lord. Do you? This is the time to show it.  What do you do?  Pause!  Pray and allow God to guide you through your trying time. Don't panic. Satan can't do no more than God allows.  Keep  the faith and obey when it seems impossible.  God tested His people in the wilderness. He rained manna and Quail from Heaven to see if the people trust Him to feed them every day.  He told the people to only take a days’ worth and no more. People will be people. Israel failed the test as hoarders. Learn from their mistakes. When your test comes, take heed that you do not fail.   Make the Father proud. Remember what He taught you through His word.

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....

Freedom

Freedom Fighter For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures” --1 Corinthians 15:3-4 (Meanwhile in Heaven) “Now let’s see what they will do.” “Does anyone know what just happened?”   “I don’t think so Father; look at them scurrying around like ants. They are oblivious to my death.”   “Give it time, Give it time.” “How much more time?”  “Look! There’s one praying. She talks to me all the time. Her heart is so tender and loving like us.”   “Listen.”

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 ...
