Wow! When I wrote about FAITH which 'Follows Adonai In The Heat’ back on the first of June, I had no idea just how challenging and hot things were about to become. Here are just a few things I’ve learned or been reminded of ... maybe they'll bless you too:
• God will make your enemies to be at peace with you (Proverbs 16:7)
• God will use some of the most unexpected individuals to bless you with the resources you need
• God is not only a shelter from the wind and the rain … He is shelter from the HEAT!
• Other than the obvious need for food and shelter, homeless people need sunscreen and TONS of prayer
• There are a million stories out there … don’t assume you know someone’s story without talking to them
• When one does not know what to say, it is a time to be silent (The King and I)
• Not everyone who wants to know what’s going on wants to help
• The people who truly want to help don’t need to know everything that’s going on
• There is nothing like family – naturally and spiritually
• Some of the kindest actions can come from strangers, while some of the most injurious words can ooze from the lips of friends
• The same way God tells you to randomly bless people, He tells others to randomly bless you
• Obedience to the prompting of the Holy Spirit makes all the difference in the world
• Temperatures will often reach an all time high – right when you have no a/c or electricity
• While you may hate raking the leaves in the fall, those trees sure do keep things cool in the summer
• God is turning the hearts of the fathers back to the children, and the hearts of the children back to the fathers
• How good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell together in unity (Psalm 133:1)
• There really is no place like home
• God is still a miracle-working God!
• My kids are my world
• The love for your children will cause you to do things you never thought you would
• There is no place for pride when it comes to your family
• I do not have to attend every argument I am invited to
• I learned a valuable lesson from the little old-lady who used to live next door … sometimes you just have to tell folks, ‘I’m not hearing you’
• There are stormy weather friends and fair weather friends … it’s good to find out which is which before the weather changes
• There are many great people in the world … doing great things, in quiet ways … everyday
• Your dog will stick by your side … no matter what
• I have some of the greatest nieces in the world
• You really have no idea what is going on behind someone else’s door
• Sometimes you reap what you sow … sometimes someone else reaps what you’ve sown … SOW ANYWAY!
• When God closes a door … it cannot be opened … no matter how hard you try
• When God opens a door … no devil in hell can close it … or keep you from walking through it
• God truly does work all things together for the good of them that love God, who are the called … ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE [and timing!] (Romans 8:28)
• Always ask God for HIS interpretation behind any prophetic word you receive … it might not mean what you think it means
• God does not require that we understand His instruction … only that we obey
• If everything looks like it is going in the exact opposite direction of what God said … you might be closer than you think
• Believe the LORD, and His prophets
• Trust in the LORD always … His purpose will manifest in your life (Psalm 37:5)
• Walk by faith and not by sight (II Corinthians 5:7)
• There is a peace which passes understanding (Philippians 4:7)
• There is an inexpressible joy you can experience … right in the midst of the fire (I Peter 1:8-9)
• No weapon formed against us shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17)
• In all things we are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37)
• If God be for us who can stand against us? (Romans 8:31)
• The LORD is great, and greatly to be praised!!! (Psalm 145:3)
I love the LORD more than anything ... and He loves me ... and that makes everything alright!
