Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, and
ever-present help in trouble.
Psalm 63:7-8 Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of
your wings. My soul clings to you; your
right hand upholds me.
James 4:2-3 AMP Consider it wholly joyful, by brethren, whenever
you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations. Be assured and understand that the trial and
proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience.

“Dear friends,
don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something
strange were happening to you. Instead,
be very glad-for these trials will make you partners with Christ in his
suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it
is revealed to all the world.” @Peter The
Apostle Crucified upside down in Rome, A.D.65 (1 Peter 4:12-13)
Daily
Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives or feelings)
Some messages today between church and daily devotionals. God speaking out making it clear he is our
help through all challenges we face. Especially those to great for us to handle. Even in His silence. He is always with us unless we choose to go
it alone. We turn and walk from Jesus
he never walks away from us.
The world is so full of troubles.
Then, now and into the future for me I am feeling it is just going to
get progressively worse. I think
because we have all become so desensitized to whatever anyone does and we are
all so very quick to react in that strength to prove no one will hurt us, someone
will pay for the hurt that has been done to us.
And even those who just thrive on drama twisting and shaking things just
enough for more and more to just react before thinking and planning how to address situations for
positive outcomes.
My thoughts!
I am guilty. There are days
I do my best and things are managed well.
However, there are those days that I just react with words, with
shutting down, shutting out. Or even
back in the day with that never back down retaliation persona.
Trying to solve things right here, right now and not wait and summon
for help on the way.
We really are messengers of good or bad. The choice is ours with what we will do or not
do, during any of the highs or lows in life.
If only we could magnify all Jesus is. Taking away all the pain, sorrow and
replacing it with love and kindness when we correct, when we react. When we mess up. Oh, and every one of us mess up at
times. No doubt about that. Some just never talk about it and some do
some really bad things and just never talk about it; thinking no one will ever know.
But they do. Someone is
always watching and not to mention the same God of all the heavens and earth
that knows where each and every star has been placed, each and every hair on
our heads. Knows each and everything we
have done or are thinking to do.
There is only one true judge in this world. Even though the world is full of so many who
will force upon someone judgement for even just being alive.
No doubt it really is no full fault of our own when we rarely have
anyone in our lives speaking positive and planting seeds of beauty and
truth. Talking about the book that has
sold more copies than any book ever in the world. The same book that has been unchanged for
thousands of years.
It is hard to stay motivated or on track for anything good if we
do not have accountibility partners. No
agenda friends, or even just that personal want and relationship directly with
Christ Jesus.
We get so caught up with everything around us and all the noise of
those who we believe matter, so we buy in and do whatever they say because it
is supposed to take us somewhere worthwhile.
While temporary almost always it is.
Yet like the celebrity who sells out and no longer has their lives and
are managed by their people. Where they
are judged just because they made it to the top of their swim lane and have all
sorts of blessings that one day will mean nothing and one day it all just gets
caught in the spirals that the world just looks for ways to take advantage
using what they started out for good. Or
worse yet. They are so very alone they
turn to all that slowly destroys everything they once leaned in on as life.
Broken pieces, broken promises no matter who they stood in front
of and swore it would be just how it should.
Lord not sure where all this mind maze is coming from or
going. I just know I don’t want to be
afraid and lose that peace you calm me with.
I pray all that I am, all I am connected are filled with the same peace
that calms the oceans and winds calm and fill all I hold dear for what ever the
storms are now brewing.
All that playing hard, living hard we die so much harder Lord. Please be with all the brokenness Jesus and
may their faith rise up and call out to you.
May they put away their hurt and anger and cling to you.
We are all so much more than anything we did. Be it we just did
not know or kept doing it anyway once we found out. Until the one day we heard your voice.
Lord be with all those who still have not heard your voice. Friends, family and so many connections; Jesus’
wash over and through everyone of mine.
Continue to be through me; Gently but through and through humble
me Father. I love you more than
anything I can ever come close to. And trust
me as I try to find that love through the eyes of others or even dream. The problem with dreams is they can be good
or bad, but we always wake up into what reality really is.
Eyes wide shut or open we all will face the truth and sometimes
that hurt as we do can be unbearable. So,
thank you Jesus for the moments I myself have had to deal with waking up and
dealing with what is, what was or what was just foolish admirations and wants
for what could never be.
You alone Jesus when you call us out is far more than a whisper of
a name or storm that blows it all away.
You alone Jesus make a way; you alone say when.
Heal this world Lord.
Let every ear hear your goodness call out. Let every soul know what life is only just
beginning with you. It is not over
because we walk with you. Everything
just becomes more intense; more beautiful; more everything!
May we let it go, let it hurt if it must and let it heal through you,
Jesus?
May we learn to silence and stay still. May we learn to speak in mercy, grace, and
the same abundant love you pour out.
Thank you for this new day.
Thank you for what any tomorrow may look like.
