MIREY CLAY

 JUNE 2016


Psalms 40:2a "He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay"

 Have you ever seen quick sand or watched people battle in mud?  Quick sand has no foundation and both have a suction that seemingly prohibits you escaping it's grasp.

 Sitting here thinking on God picking us up out of the miry clay as the Psalms states and got such a picture of this.

 There we are, stuck in the pool (pit) of destruction, trying, grasping at the walls, trying to get out. With quick sand the more YOU struggle the deeper you sink. In mud, you keep sliding right back down into the pit. There is no sure thing to grasp hold of to get yourself out.

 What I saw was two different scenarios and both with God calling to each. The one hears but keeps trying on his own and keeps slipping and sliding deeper. The other hears and looks up and all he does is reach up and allows God to reach down and pull him up out.

 This speaks of Salvation in Jesus......and then I believe this speaks of our daily life situations where we can either try to do it ourselves or we can continue to look up and reach up and allow God to lift us up everyday out of the muck and miry of life.

The Mucks and Miry will happen. There is an enemy of your soul that works 24/7 to try to kill, steal and destroy. Until Jesus comes and sets up His Kingdom in the physical where every eye will see and behold Him, we will have muck and miry.

 So if you feel life "sucking" you down....look up and reach up... His hand is always extended to take you and bring you up and set you upright again on that sure foundation of Jeses.

 Psalms 40:2b  "And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm"

Laughter is good medicine

So many people today just don't know how to laugh .. at themselves. Oh we can laugh at others and their shortcomings, failures, faults, "sins", wrong doing, etc. But how many can look at "themselves" and laugh. I am not speaking of a Put-Down on yourself. I'm talking about being able to look at something that happen due to your own action or words, maybe something you can't control, and see the funny side. I think the best people who do this are the ones who truly have a handi-cap or shortcoming that somehow they might not have complete control over. Something in their life that could get them on the down side ... but somehow they push up and get on the top side. They choose to look at the problem and make it equal laughter. Let me give you an example and I hope this makes you get that deep belly roar that just bubbles over. Most people who have been around me .. ah .. long enough for me to say a couple complete sentences . will notic...

MORNING TIME

Image
APRIL 2016 Friday's are my very slow mornings.  Every morning is slow for me as I am not a morning person but Friday's are my "hey, it's ok to be slow today so slow down even more and enjoy" kind of mornings.  So I got my Giant Blueberry Pancake together and in the oven and putting my water on for my coffee and getting ready for some "Him and I" time and just sitting down and talking. And I got to thinking about this and relating it to a husband and wife sitting down in the morning getting ready to start their day and talking and enjoying a cup of coffee and they think and talk about the day ahead. And then I got this horrid image of a wife sitting there and asking about this and asking about that .. "When are you gonna fix that pipe .. When are you gonna do something about that thing in the garage .. When are you gonna fix that hole in the wall ... When are you gonna talk to your son about his actions .. When are you .. When are you .. What are you...

NOT LIKE THE WORLD

 JUNE 2016 1 Sam 8: Israel demands a King. ( to be like the "other" nations ) Selah. Sitting here in my quiet time ( as much as I can with chicks and doggies and a kitty which helps me to understand Mothers needing space ) and opened the Bible and it fell to this passage. Sometimes I just start reading where it opens to and keep reading until His Spirit starts talking.  Sometimes I use a Devotional or maybe I will pull the notes from Sunday's Message or maybe something sparked from a pastor on TV.  Don't ever get hooked on "one" way of spending time with the Father.  He may want to speak to you via a different means and you wonder why you can't hear from Him.  Sometimes I don't even open the Bible but just take some time listening and He begins to talk - many people in other nations do not even have the Written Word - they only have the daily Spoken Word in their heart as they follow Christ. Anyhow just reading and meditating on this.  The people wan...
