February 11 - Motion is easier than waiting

February 11

"Do not kid yourself into thinking that any woman is so secure that she won't go after somebody elses man to boost her ailing ego. An insecure person's greatest need for control is directed towards those who have the most potential to either threaten their security OR strengthen it."   Beth Moore

Lord Please protect my spouse, my sons, and son-in-law from 'that woman type'.  Please protect me, my daughter, daughter-in-laws from being 'that woman'.   Let us all get our sense of worth from You.   Give us wisdom and security that comes from You.

"On your watch lift up your hands for the lives of your children."

"I am walking with you, guiding your path, your journey.  
The journey is life giving when it is with Me.  
Motion is easier than calm waiting.  
Wait until I show you My will. 
It is not the end point of the journey that is important, but the focus on Me.  Walk with Me ON YOUR JOURNEY.

Pray to the ONE who can truly rescue you from your pain.

Ever feel like you are at a stand still?

Feel like you are going nowhere?

 

"I speak in everything to you.

Be linked to Me.

You cannot be overwhelmed when you are linked to My Power.

Trust and do not be afraid.

A tree stripped of beauty, pruned, cut, disfigured,

But the Spirit of Life flows through you.

Silently, secretly.

New life will come up..

Remember you are at the hands of the Master Gardener.

Rejoice..."        

 

Let my roots sink deep into You.

Let me feed on Your Word.

Bless me with the confidence in Your care and direction.

Help me to notice the good things when they come.

Help me to fix my mind on what is pure and lovely and upright.

When the winds of life's storms come,

I will not be afraid when I know You are with me.

You help me not to worry.

Help me to live a life that is a reflection of You,

a blessing to others.

 

"Your desire is for us to be free of every unhealthy motivation.

Grant me a supernatural confidence that I am safe with You

and loved by You.

Lord, you know me better than I know myself.

As you reveal Yourself to me,

I ask that You also mercifully reveal myself to me!

Make me wholly unafraid of anything that I might see in myself in the light You provide.

Help me to trust that You only shed light

where You are willing to heal."  -Beth Moore

 

HOPE.

 

 

Be quiet.

"The Divine Voice is not always expressed in words.
It is made known as a heart conciousness."

"It is better to stay quiet and be thought a fool rather than to speak rashly and remove all doubt."

Humility. KNOW THYSELF -Socrates

"You must not depend on men, but on ME.
Your strength,
your help,
your supply.
Am I your supply or not?
You must wait until I show you the way.
Trust and do not be afraid.
WAIT.
TRUST.
HOPE.
JOY."

-Words do not make a man holy and just, but a virtuous life.
If I know all the Bible by heart, and all the sayings of it,
what good is it without God's love and grace working in my life.  
                                                                                      My imitation of Christ

He who knows himself well is not great in his own eyes.
And the praise of men does not delight him.

The humble knowledge of myself is a surer way to God then the deepest search after science.

"Oh how quickly the glory of the world passes away. " 1 John 2:17

This is what is important:

1. Enjoy your work and walk humbly with your God.

2. Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.

3. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.

4. Be not wise in your own eyes, but reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn away from evil.      Proverbs 3: 5,6,7

Not by mens power or might, but by God's Spirit.

"Trust and do not be afraid.
Life is full of wonder.
Open child trusting eyes to all I am doing for you.
Fear not.
Soon YOU shall be lights to guide feet that are afraid."

God works through individuals.
Winning a heart.
Through this heart,
He pours His purpose like a mighty river.

Be with quality people.
Be humble.
Be yourself.
Be generous.
Be a hard worker.

Dwell in My Presence

"Just be near Me.  
To be near,
not for teaching,
not for material gain,
not  even for a message.
but for ME."

Distracted, aggravated, frustrated...

Distracted?

"Continue to meet Me in spite of all the oppositions. 
Persist in this.
Make it a life habit.
I will reveal My will to you.
The problems and difficulties of your lives can be explained by
Me more clearly and effectually than by anyone else."

Wait patiently for the Lord. 
Be brave and courageous.
Wait patiently for Him.  psalm 27:14

In spite of days when I have not heard His voice,
In spite of days when I feel no heart to heart telling,

I know that you tell me:

I lead you daily
I give you a peace that you cannot get any other way.
I order your priorities,
I arrange the meetings,
the 'coincidences',
the people,
and
I give you the eyes to see it.
I open your eyes to see.
I turn the boring and mundane into the purpose filled.
I transform the routine into the Divine.
