Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table - Louie Giglio

Psalm 23 (NIRV) @BIBLEGATEWAY.COM

A psalm of David.

The Lord is my shepherd. He gives me everything I need.
    He lets me lie down in fields of green grass.
He leads me beside quiet waters.
    He gives me new strength.
He guides me in the right paths
    for the honor of his name.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid.
    You are with me.
Your shepherd’s rod and staff
    comfort me.

You prepare a feast for me right in front of my enemies.
You pour oil on my head.
    My cup runs over.
I am sure that your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.
And I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Thank you for the chaos, pain and all the ups and down you allow me to know I am alive given this new day.   Undeserving but so very blessed.

As I am reminded when it hurts, I am so very alive when it really hurt during a therapeutic deep tissue massage for a tweaked back today.

Brings me to that mind maze swirling around the comparison of when our hearts and souls hurt?

 

Having physical pain and emotional pain in this life.  I do not wish either on anyone.   But the thing is one little discomfort for one can be total destruction for someone else.

One look, word, lack of words, lies, actions.    We never really know what it will take to shatter and trigger the already fractured beings we are in this life.

When I tell you never will I purposely do anything to harm anyone.  Oh yes, even those that well deserve it as I am not that get even girl.   I have always lived with the philosophy life goes full circle and the same God that created us for love, peace, and harmony.   Will truly look out for his chosen that believe openly in him. 

Sure, common sense says protect us and always do the right thing.  Even when no one is watching.  Cause you know what; someone always is.

 

Learning to be brave and believing in our own inner selves to become more of what is deep inside us created in the image of the creator.   And stop worrying about what the world says we must be like.

Truth is eventually beauty on the outsides fades away, money disappears, and all those other material things we collect over time break, are stolen or we give them away if we do not throw them away.

What we do for our own self and the beings we are that a priceless cost was paid to allow us to be here.

 

We will never repay the cost of what happened up to or on that cross.   And really if this is not true, why has the story remained unchanged for centuries?

 

So, as I put my trust in those here on earth to help lift my spirits, to help fix the me that I push so hard to be something that matters just for a moment in time for those in need, those who listen and dream big dreams and want to grow forward.   Those who I pray are true to the words and actions they are living out that touch me soul.

And when I feel those thorns as I walk through the garden of life trying to be more than just someone going through the motions.

I will always know it was you Jesus that it was because of the love of the father that never gave up on me that stuck around even after you got my attention.   That is has always been you that has never needed or taken one thing from me.  But always gave me abundant life.

That the season I am in now is preparing me for greater things yet to happen.

That no matter how this flesh dreams, yearns, churns, and even burns sometimes you Jesus will always be first. 

 

So, as I breathe through the pressure points found in life unexpectedly feeling the burst of indescribable spin and pain.    I know you are breathing with me, as it is you the same that allows the wind to blow that allows air in these lungs.

Come what may; give me the strength and common sense to just let go and stop pretending I got this.

What is love without truth, hard work, communication, commitment.   What is this where we pretend and playhouse even getting unified in front of witnesses and making a good effort than giving up; fighting and creating all kinds of havoc  as excuses to quit.

Collectors taking what they want tossing it out once the novelty wears off or things do not go the way they expect.   Cry babies not fighting for change and always pointing fingers when we hold the guilt just as deeply. 

Wanting to believe until the story page changes and does not go as we thought.

Oh yes.  Been there done that.   And fought for 2 years to not quit and would still be there if I did not have to protect more than me.

This mind maze is not calling out, pointing out it is just pouring out.   What is love we are to have; and why were we created to want, yearn, burn, or churn?

Our freedom of will and choice seems so senseless at times if we cannot think for ourselves and learn what to hold on and what to let go.

Our behaviors are our own.   Be it we are out there rescuing the world and being that bright shiny voice on a stage giving hope or that person on the street corner thinking that is all they can be.

It’s all lies…

 

We were all made for so much more but yet we choose to grasp on to the chaos, mass destruction and all that is temporal while ignoring the signs until the pressure cooker switch breaks and we can no longer make sense of what is or will be.

I won’t settle and I will never believe what I can not prove to be real.  And in my time, I have been proven to understand you could know something or someone all our lives and never really know the real, true something or someone.

 

I mean look at us in the world becoming this let’s not upset anyone so we will change what always was just so we can allow those around us to have their way.    Changing history or truth does not happen by changing or removing our gender, changing statues, changing our looks, and only you God knows what else.    We can be come less offensive or politically correct in how we talk and what we are allowed to be said.     We can decide we do not like who we are because of no bodies business and change.    Or we can have a billion reasons.

Truth is truth no matter when or how many decide to change.

Real is real and words are just words.   Even mine.     Why in this world have we made it so damn important to be the judge and jury that so many are fighting to change things that no matter what you call it still does not change?

I know it is time for me to stop and look around and decide how will I go forth with whatever days I have left and how much pain will I take on before I finally address the root cause and stop being fixed for not being better aligned in my future for me than I should be.

 

What about you.    You are not out here in this world alone.    Trust me you can be surrounded by abundance and be so very lonely and feel alone.   We are never alone.  Christ is always waiting for us to invite him in.   

There is so much beauty in the pain when you see through His eyes and the truth and what it could be.

That simple ole What would Jesus do?  WWJD!

That does not mean walk around on this Pius high horse and think just because of your status in a church or affiliation or even title makes you any more important that those out in the sandbox.   Most of our biggest ministers have fallen hard because they too are human and have forgotten the kingdom as they became greedy slowly one day at a time with their power, their words, their wants and even what they did for those in their circle.

Full circle

That circle of life always comes around and the price will be paid, and we will reap what we sow.   Here today and gone tomorrow maybe not mine, maybe not yours but the price always is paid.

 

You think you know that person next to you.    I am sure there are secrets in the dark that you will never know and most likely never want to.

But the point is they are not what they do.   They are creations of the almighty no matter what they choose, how good or bad a person they are or what they believe in.   Guide them from harm the best you can but you can never force anyone to drink from the cup.

 

Even if they do, they could be fighting a battle that only they know why they do what they do.

Pray for them.   Pray that all the misdeeds they may have done to you will be forgiven and that no one gets harmed and if you did; you are healed.

 

Let it hurt, Let it go, Let it heal!    Be your best self and if it is not good enough for anyone in your circle.  Or anyone you are trying to bring in your circle.  It never will be and was not meant to be.    Let it go…

As for me and my tunes motivating and such today.  No clue but anyone that knows me; I am just always me and people, places, things, and more music than can talk about triggers all kinds of things that dump out.

No matter, I believe God will give me mine someday too.  He already has blessed me beyond all deserving and either in this life or what comes next.

 

Until then prayers and blessings now and always for all that is good and fills you up with peace and abundance courage, strength, life, laughter, and more love!

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Thank you for this new day and all that can transpire in the moments given.

Be with those dear and tied tight to my heart strings Lord as they are going through the loss and heartbreak of the losses, they were never ready to deal with.

None of us are but for some this is all new territory.   

There is nothing even from those who have already been through it that will make the pain or sadness go away.   I can put my little pick me ups out there; little writings about no matter what just keep speaking life and fight forward and the heaviness will lift.

But we all must handle what is given in our own circumstances ourselves.  

My heart cries out for those close and in the distance.    For all of us that have received that diagnosis, that have been broken physically, emotionally, or mentally just worn down.   Lord may the same hands that hold this universe comfort them now.

May the strength they have then be more important to find now.

 

For all the changes we go through.  Planned, unexpected.  You know those planned out and either turn out well or not at all.  To those that turn out because we believe in others, and well yes, some rare but do bless us while others leave us scratching our heads and wondering what in the world were we thinking; if not the fact we are left without more piece to who we are because of broken trust.

What we do with all of it in any situation matters.

If we beat ourselves down and speak negative and hold on to the negative it comes to be.

So how do we get off that ride and still walk towards the blessings and goals that add to life and not take it?

For me it hurts, still every loss I am exposed to.  My own and others it does not matter.  Perhaps for me it is easier to get back up because there have been so many.  Or my hope in you Jesus makes me aware there will be no more suffering, no more hurting when we see you face to face.    I have no answers for sure.

I lift all that I am in blood, in purpose, in you to you.   Please guide, comfort, and show us what is next.

 

Be it a friend, a child, a pet that took place of children, something that we have worked for in this world just to survive.   May it all be blessed in and with you.   Lift and guide us to the new horizons waiting Father God. 

In all my insignificance Jesus, you let me know my worth, my purpose when I cannot explain any of it.   Be that for all I am connected!!!

We are made for loving all you are Jesus.   Never let us go when we just cannot see or hear you in the static and spin, we get caught up in. 

Be it twelve days before you take us home and we give our souls back to you or a lifetime jumping in and out of the vehicle that teaches right from wrong.  

May we come to call upon your name first each day we are given while being our best selves no matter what that looks like to believe in all the good, all the love and all the life you have waiting for us.

This is a miracle that we even this day you allow us up Jesus.   May we just keep fighting forward for you, with you.

Lead me, lead all I am connected for all that is pure; all that is purposeful; all that has meaning and shines even the smallest flicker.     Make us like you Jesus.  Never stop leading me to the cross.

Thank you for all that I can be.

Thank you for the forgiveness and promise in hope within each new day given.

Walk With God Every Day | A Blessed Morning Prayer For God To Order Your Steps

 

Meditation Opportunities Daily Devotion

@Jesus Calling 365 Devotions with Real-Life Stories @Sarah Young)

“When you start to feel anxious about something, relinquish the situation to Me.  Back off a bit, redirecting your focus to Me.  I will either take care of the problem myself or show you how to handle it.  In this world you will have problems, but you need not lose sight of me.”


Luke 12:22-31 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.  Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.  Consider the ravens:  They do not sow or reap; they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them.  And how much more valuable you are than birds!

Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?  Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?  Consider how the lilies grow.  They do not labor or spin.  Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.  If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!  And do not worry about it… But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.” 

John 16:33  “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.  IN this world you will have trouble.  But take heart!  I have overcome the world.”

Sidewalk Prophets - To live is Christ


  Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

  WE do not have to measure up to anyone in this world but the God who allows us to breathe.   Wow it sounds so easy to believe when in truth we all know we get nowhere without the world approving what we do, what we look like, what we score on a test or even how we win the competition to the race we run to live.

Our reputation seems to either be everything we care about and will do nothing to jeopardize it or just the opposite we do whatever, whenever and care less about what anyone says.  Even if it is hurting others or defying the same rules that apply to keep us safe and out of harms way. 

 

I believe me; I care what people say about me to a point.   I would never purpose to ever want to lead those that I am blessed to be connected in the wrong or unsafe directions.   Especially the children of our future. 

Never do I take anything I could not work for or repay if I had to.   Truth be told, yes it has not always been that way that I had a conscious or that I put everything I am into fighting forward.    There were great portions of my life that I just gave up and could not see anyway out of the darkness.    

There have been many reasons, and times that I have been blessed in guidance when, since I called upon the name of Jesus to come dwell in all I am.      Many more that I can look back in hindsight and see just how protected and beyond deserving I have been given healing, gifts of living and strength and courage far outside of who I am without him.

There is no hidden secrets when it comes to the truth of the mess I have been over my lifetime and the roller coaster ride I have taken all the while forgetting to keep my hands and feet in the ride while in motion.

 

I won’t always own everything this journey has allowed.  Good, bad, or indifferent.   Some at my own doing, others at the hands and feet of others even if I let them within arm’s length to be able to do so. 

Always my blessing to change it when it is not working, change me, or whatever is tied to me that is not helping me grow forward.  

To give away hope, and the promises of anything good that God breathes in this universe is foolish.  Yet we all do so at one time or another. 

We hold on to things and people that we believe in even when the best intentions just cannot come to life; or the empty promises have a way of filling up our reality and truth smacks us head on.

Sometimes we just like to hold on to the dream and risk the lost time we will never get back because of how it makes us feel.   Others we like forget that stuff and keep moving fast and furious never looking back.

We all get to deal with all our choices in our own way.  

Oh, mind maze what is the point as I sit here and wonder?

Stay out of the weeds and away from the predators.  They come at all times, all places, and can trip us up in so many different ways.

They can make us think of something beautiful and leave us bleeding out from the thorns and stinging nettles when we stay focused on the dream and bold colors of what could be on the other side of that canvas being painted.      

If it is not in the moment if it cannot reveal its true colors.  If someone always has excuses.  If you are not a priority now.   Do you really think you could be any tomorrows give?   

 

Just because you were broken yesterday.  Does not mean you are any less perfect from starting to be your best self today.  

I go back to again wondering what is it that you stand for.  And are you standing firm?

If there are secrets and hidden agenda’s today with you from others; you can guarantee there will always be from you with someone else down the road.

 

Worry does nothing positive for any of us.  Truth hurts but you cannot grow into what you are meant to be without working through it and owning who you are and the days that you have been given.

 

Get back up, shake it off and be your best self for what you were created to be.  Not for the world.  Not for the empty promises or temporal flattery or feelings someone makes you feel.  

If you were given breath today.  If you were given movement, hearing, feeling, vision.    Dive in and make it count.     Be all you were meant to be for the God that created you and if you are blessed with something real along the way.   Something that balances you, and you know you can lean on or a someone can lean on you, and you purpose to grow forward together.    Give thanks. 

 

Death eventually becomes us all.  Don’t accept defeat or starve yourself of life before it is your time.   Don’t depend on others to bring you life.   Know your boundaries, know your worth.  And count the blessings when you get that extra bonus that someone else  is a part of your journey for all the good and right reasons.  

 

I could go through and try to rewrite these thoughts that pour out of this mind maze any given day.  Yet, then I would not be always me and just unloading some of the things that just come with being me.   

All I know is if I am growing forward.  Lord let me grow forward in and with all you are, all that your son died so we could live for.    Forgive me for all the short comings I know I have. And all the moments I allow the flesh to drive me into the unknown when I should cling to the place you chose for me.

Thank you for this day and any other that may come.  Thank you for all that have led me to you hearing your call.   Thank you for all I am connected and all the beauty, all the ashes and all that is yet to come.
