I’m just not much in a writing mood. Not sure why. Just not. BUT I am in the mood to share other folks writings.  Like my You Version devotion for this morning. Take a look.

THE WAVES

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale told of a trip he took on a sailboat in the Near East. The skipper told him, “The ocean is a tremendous force, and our ship is only a small force. But, we know how to make our little engines adapt themselves to the timing of the waves so we are practically carried along by the sea.”

Praying could be defined as adjusting ourselves to the plans and timing of God. When Sennacherib threatened Judah, Hezekiah first went to God (2 Kings 19:14-19). There was a childlike simplicity in the king’s faith. He took the threatening letter and spread it out before God to read. It is as if he said, “Okay, what do we do about it?”

This same childlike faith should be ours in this modern world. Our frustrations and anxieties should be spread out before God for His direction. As we adjust our lives to God’s plan and timing, we find we are carried along by His power. This puts to highest use the forces of our own lives to meet the battles of life. Hezekiah and his people were delivered, and so shall we be.

Is that good or what?

And if you have some more time for reading, please go visit my Friend Elaine. The post is entitled: The Woman I No Longer Need to be . . .

ABBA, perhaps some sisters are not much on doing what they usually do, whatever good thing that is that seems to have lost some luster – guide us I pray. Guide us to coming to Peace with who we are now and resting in Your promise that You are not finished with us yet. Yes. Israel. America. The Election. Truth to prevail. Evil to be exposed. Repentance. Dori. Kerri. Pam M. Pam K. Sharron and Others.  As a dear soul used to say, ‘take a reading on our hearts’, ABBA. See what’s there, see the needs and meet them. See the love and concern for others and express it through us. See the need to love others and the need to express Your love and change us to do it. Safety and protection. Transformations for That One and This One. And let our hearts be not troubled but believe YOU, LORD JESUS in all things.

Blessings to you Dear Friends    +++

Remember YOU have the God-given RIGHT to do right in this wrong world!

Another World

Between my thoughts and my actions spans another world.

The Land of Courage.

In this Land of Courage, I have strength. Strength to take my thoughts of good and right and turn those good intentions into deeds of righteousness. In the Land of Courage, I have power to beat back those thoughts of evil and unkindness and refuse to turn them into works of darkness.

Where will I live today? Where will you live today? In the Land of Courage?

A world away is as close as a choice.

2 Chronicles 32: 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
6 And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city, and spoke comfortingly to them, saying,

7 “Be strong and courageous. Be not afraid nor dismayed by the king of Assyria and all the multitude that is with him, for there are more with us than with him.

8 With him is an arm of flesh, but with us is the Lord our God to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

ABBA, thank You for this picture of words on the screen of my mind; I pray it will sink into my heart and I will live in the Land of Courage today so my right thoughts will be turned into deeds of righteousness and those evil darts of the enemy will be rejected and expelled and I will know victory for Your Honor and glory and for my good and the good of Your Kingdom. I pray all who come here to read and to pray today will also take up the challenge to live in the Land of Courage today.  And today we boldly bring our sick and afflicted asking You to heal them and asking You to rescue, to pursue and woo until the rebellious and oblivious surrender to live in the Land of Courage with You, LORD JESUS. I pray too for the Peace of Israel and for the subduing of all Her enemies; and for America, I praise and thank You for birthing this great Nation and I ask that You have mercy and pour out Your Spirit upon us, pouring out the power of conviction and conversion to live in the Land of Courage found only in JESUS.  Amen and amen. 

We have the God-given Right to do right in this wrong World,
Praying (PFT)!
