Do not worry...

This message is for you:  I didn’t know what to write about today and then I thought of you.  I’m not sure exactly what you’ve been anxious over but God says, “Do not worry.”  You have been drained of your time and energy because of that situation.  You have to do what you’re going to do and let it go.  Everyday, you think about it, even if just for a moment.  You need to release it.  When I searched the scriptures for God’s Truth on worrying, His message was clear – “Do not worry.”

·         Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?  Matthew 6:27
·         Therefore, I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about  your body, what you will wear.  Matthew 6:25
·         Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.  Matthew 6:34
·         Do not worry beforehand about what to say.  Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, it is the Holy Spirit.   Mark 13:11

God doesn’t want us to worry about anything at all.  From the top of our head to the bottom of our feet, He is fortifying us.  We should not worry at all.  Worrying infers that we do not believe God is able to make everything alright.  Worry implies doubt – where there is doubt, faith is absent.  And my friends, when God is taking attendance, you do not want your faith to be absent.  Let go of that worry and remind yourself of the Almighty God you serve (before He has to remind you Himself).  : /

All that I need, I already have

  So, what are the things that are necessary?   Because I refuse to do busy work.   Many have fallen prey to the belief that as long as I’m busy doing things, I’m actually getting things done.   Not true.   And painfully so because most of us live on the brink of exhaustion.   To think that more than half the things we spend time doing is a waste of time and getting us no closer to our goals is heart wrenching.   My sleep is so sweet when I hit my pillow because I feel like I’ve done well, the things God has desired me to do.   And when I was a poor steward of my time, I toss and turn with a to-do list in my mind of things I still need to do. I pray, “Lord, turn my eyes away from worthless things and preserve my life according to your Word.” Psalm 119:37. Why?   Because it’s so easy to lose hours on social media, reality tv, daydreaming, starting and quitting projects before they’re completed, etc.   Anything can be busy work. ...

Stop Expecting the blessing to be the Blesser

For lack of a better word and to prevent a miscommunication of the main concept, Blesser : refers to the Almighty God – Creator of Heaven and Earth; omnipotent and ever-present and powerful Being.   Blessing : refers to everything and every one God has ever placed in your life to increase your value and to provide you fulfillment.     Blessings are all around us. They take many shapes and forms.   Blessings flow from the Blesser.   Your spouse is a blessing.   Yet sometimes you may expect him to be your God.   You may be expecting your spouse to perform duties only God can perform for you.   You may be expecting your spouse to fill a void, an emptiness you feel when only the Blesser can satisfy those requests.   There is no wonder why there is so much strain on our relationships.   Do not be confused on where your provisions are truly coming from.   Your job is a blessing.   Whatever way you are being provided for economica...

Woe to the Complacent

Amos 6:1-7 is a call to action for the blessed, full, contented individuals of the time.  During this time there were some who lived incredibly rich and abundant lives, while others were extremely poor.  Kind of like today, isn't it?  The Lord said, there will always be the poor among us.  Knowing that, I'm not sure he was looking to fix the economic imbalance, but more so fix our internal dispositions.  The Lord desires us to take care of one another.  He desires the fortunate to consider the unfortunate.  He desires the haves to look after the have nots.  He is pleased when the wealthy take care of the poor. The thought behind it is simple.  If you can, you should.  Giving keeps us from becoming greedy, insatiable people.  I often find myself saying "But I barely have..." and the Lord corrects me.  "A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed." Proverbs 11:25. My pastor, Josh Teis, in his...
