This morning as I awoke this raced through my brain: “Crushing Satan’s Pebbles”. Didn’t know why or exactly what it meant. Maybe a good sermon title?
As I pondered it over, these thoughts followed: we recognize those big boulders or mountains that Satan can put into our paths to make us stumble or veer off the path, but do we even begin to recognize and deal properly with those little tiny pebbles. Those little pebbles are there to annoy us, pain us a little bit, steal our joy, or even make our minds wander where they shouldn’t. They are like a grain of sand in our shoes that irritates us as we walk. We are eager to remove the shoe and get the sand out. We need to be so in tune with God that we will recognize the “pebbles” and eagerly ask God to remove them from us, protecting us from the potential dangers. Zippy
I think my Sister heard a Word for herself and many of us. Like she said we are eager, we can’t wait to get that shoe off and get that sand out.
Got any little pebbles (sins) to rid from your shoes (walk) today?
Song of Solomon 2
15 “Catch the foxes for us, yes, the little foxes! They are ruining the vineyards when our vineyards are in bloom!”
I see it, ABBA. I understand and Thank You. Thank You for my Sister. Thank You for this Word to her and thank You that she shared it with me and that I can share it here. I pray this Word will do all that You plan, for as long as You desire. I pray for us to recognize the pebbles and be as eager to get rid of the sins in our lives as we are to get sand from our shoes. Forgive us. We are an insensitive people when it comes to our own sins.We dismiss the ones we deem small and pride ourselves that we don’t do the ones we think are big. Forgive us and help us, ABBA. HOLY SPIRIT, bless us with conviction, conviction too strong, too loud or perhaps too quiet and too steady for us to ignore. Help us repent. Some people and situations are coming to mind. And I am reminded that all things are possible with You; I’m glad about that because these things feel impossible; but I am asking. Asking for Your Light to come on in hearts and for caring people to be steeped in wisdom. Help us be not overwhelmed with all the troubles of this life; with the illness and disease; with poverty of spirit; with hunger and lack of hunger; with sexual slavery; with hard heart-ed rebellion; it often seems endless; let us not be defeated but rather arise in victory with our Savior. We dare not forget to pray for healing-s for these, physical and otherwise, for Jamie. Dylan. Dori. Kerri. Lance. Adalynn. Carol. Donnie. Terri & family. and Others. All Others that Readers bring here with them in prayer. And for each who reads or visits this page, I pray for them to know the beauty of Your Presence and for them to rest in Your Grace and Your strength, finding You sufficient in all things.
Is it really okay to not worry over something of which you have no control? Is it really okay to even forget her suffering for a few moments here and there? It just does not seem right to not worry when she is suffering. It just does not seem right to not worry when things COULD go really wrong! But you have prayed. She has prayed. Yet could it really be okay to not worry?
The answer is yes. It really is okay to not worry.
To NOT worry doesn’t say I love her less. It says I love HIM more.
I Peter 5
7 Throw all your anxieties upon him, because he cares about you.
Thank You, ABBA, for conversations within. Thank You for offering comfort; for offering and making a way for us to cast our anxieties from ourselves to You. Thank You for caring for us. I know things could go adversely, even bitterly but they could go well too, even good. Even so, YOU are GOOD and IN CONTROL so forgive me when I worry. Thank You for conversations that remind me it is okay to trust You instead of worry. Thank You for letting me know I am not betraying her or him or them when I trust You instead of worrying over what is or what could be. And so, ABBA, with all the what is-s and the what could be-s in our collective and individual lives we cast them and we accept the grace to choose to trust You instead of worrying. So for the loss and the potential we trust You; for the needed comfort and healing we trust You; for the means and provisions we trust You.
For Dylan. Kerri. Carol. Donnie. Terri and her family. Jamie.Lance. Adalynn. For their healing-s, for their families’ well-being we trust You. For each collective hurt and need finding his or her way to this page of prayer we trust You. We pray for Israel for peace and protection. For America we pray for revival. We ask You to raise up people, men, women, young men, young women, children to boldly proclaim YOUR TRUTH to set souls free. I ask You for blessings for all Readers and Pray-ers here; for courage and wisdom and strength to be hidden in You so their lives can be seen shining Your glory.
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
