Today I am back in Romans 8...(a replay
isn't bad. Smile) In vs 5.....it sez,
“Those controlled by the Spirit
think about things that please the Spirit.”
We are BUSTED from the start,
because Ps.90:11 sez,
“The Lord knows our thoughts...”
Isaiah 55:8 sez,
“My thoughts are not your thoughts...”.
Very interesting!
So according to the Scriptures, our
thought life makes or breaks our Daily Day.
But always, God makes a way out and
Phil 4:8. proves this......
”Fix your thoughts on what is
, True--Honorable--Right--Pure--Lovely--Admirable...Think on these things that
are excellent and worthy of praise.”
Normally I have a plaque above my
phone that sez just that....I need daily, hourly to be reminded. smile
Phil 4:6 sez...
”Don't worry about anything, instead
pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank Him for what He
HAS done.” (already)
Phil 3:15…
”For God is working in you
giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him.”
Father, how, how, how do we do this?
How?
As a baby, as you learn to walk, you
don't just say at 1 month, 2 months, or 3...o.k. now I am going to walk.
(what came first, the chicken or the
egg, an age old question, but I know the answer, and so do you. God created all living things, in the
beginning. The Word sez he started all, with grown, mature things,
animals, trees, bearing fruit...there you have it, the chicken came first....my
trivia for the day...SMILE)
So as a baby you learn the
teensiest, things...focus your eyes, get that arm moving so you can touch
things with your hands......In time we put you on the floor, and THEN you
walk....no…not yet. Finally you can lift your head and hold it steady...the you
learn to roll over, and THEN you start walking? No again...I think you
get the drift, though he will, he will!
Practice. Practice, practice...
The same with our Christian walk,
First you read the Word, and start realizing what the Word teaches us,
then with a lot of prayer and the help of the Holy Spirit, you learn....to
do.....Today I am centering in on our thought patterns, Greg, with which at 82
3/4 years old (smile) I am still learning...so take heart, you will learn, also.
So as a defeating thought comes our
way, the Word sez,
“Resist the devil, and he will flee from
you.”
...so resist the negative thought
and think of something lovely...pure....
Hard work? No! Just consistency....most
of our Walk, is just
being consistent....day by day, hour
by hour.
Remember in this Holy Week, that the
battle was fought at and on the cross, and when Jesus said, "It is
finished",
IT IS FINISHED!!!!
He finished it without me having to
fire a shot! So do as I am trying to do, not to sweat the Big Stuff, let
God take care of that, you have things to do, and we can do it, can't we?
Oops....song coming up.....
"God is able, more than
able, to accomplish what concerns me today,
He is able more than able, to handle
anything that comes my way.
He is able truly able to do much
more than I can ever dream,
He is able, more than able, to make
me what He wants me to be."
Oh, Greg, (I don't
know how we happened to get purple ink just now, but I don't know how to stop
it, so let’s just let it be something beautiful to my eyes, since this is my
favorite color) How you keep walking this week and next, where you will
move to, I don't know!!!!!! But God does, and...give us GREAT
grace, Dear Father, to follow you, stumbling, seemingly blind, to what you want
us to do.....and TRUST....this is soooooooooooo hard, ‘cause as your Mom I want
to fix....fix.....fix...and as My Father, God wants to fix... fix...fix...and
He is so good at fixing. We'll be praying tonight at 7p.m. my time....5
p.m. your time..............God answers prayer!!!
O.K. time to relax in
Him, hang on, look up, and see what God has for you.
You are firmly in His
grasp... We'll see you here, there or in the air.
(You too, Cray)
Nanny
