Messy
My Journey Magazine did me good this morning.
I knew the moment I read the opening Scripture that it was new and fresh and for me.
Proverbs 14:4 New Living Translation (NLT)
4 Without oxen a stable stays clean, but you need a strong ox for a large harvest. source
I am not well familiar with oxen, but I am familiar with messy. And today I am grateful for the reminder that messy is a necessity. What else does the Text say? A large harvest. When we want a large harvest — some messy is inevitable. So, I can fuss at the mess (and the ones who made it) or I can rejoice by lifting my eyes
Psalm 121:1 King James Version (KJV) 121
1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. source
for the mess and the harvest!
For Now
Good Morning.
Let’s pray.
Abba, thank You for another morning; a day we get to greet with You, to listen and discern that You love us and nothing comes our way today without Your power to overcome. Or on the lighter side to enjoy and find holy fun in family, friends and Your creation. Thank You that not one of our sufferings goes unnoticed; not one of our anxious moments is taken lightly and sluffed off by You as frivolous and beneath Your watch-care. Thank You Holy Spirit for administering within us all we need to succeed today for Your glory. You know better than we the sins and consequences of the people of this world, we ask for Your mercy and the gifts of repentance to be lavished on us in JESUS name. So be it, for now, ~ ~ ~
The Cure
I saw a tweet. I saw a post. And to me both were inflammatory; yet, I think they were not meant to be. We the People are inflamed and we need no more fuel for the fire. Racism. It sells. It promotes. It hurts. It kills. And it is totally curable.
Abba, I pray for every person of every color and shade in this Country that is contributing to racism that You will confront them, convict them, and convince them to repent of this sin. It seems to me, and You know I want You to correct me every time I am wrong about anything, that racism has been with us too long. And it seems to me that what we humans have been doing is obviously not working to cool the flame. I see nothing on the human horizon that will douse the red hot tempers we witness nearly daily on media screens. But I have seen Your Ways and they work. Every time. You deliver people from racism. I have seen You do it. And it is so good! I want to see more. So I am asking You to make a way; open doors for us to do this thing Your way. This I know, Abba, You are the only way to heal a soul and cure them of racism and that is what I am asking You to do; one by one get all up in our mess, our business, our families, and our friends and heal us I pray in JESUS’ Holy and Mighty Name.
