Firm Foundations

Proverbs 8:29

Wisdom was there when He ordered the sea
    not to go beyond the borders He had set for it.
Wisdom was there when He laid the earth’s foundation.

**********

The brilliance of God is incorporated into the laws of nature.

You stand in awe of the Creator when walking along the bank of a roaring river or watching storm clouds race across the sky. You are intrigued by each element of nature, knowing it contains vital information about the Creator.

You have a persistent drive to push past surface layer facts in order to discover the deeper meanings behind them. You have a curious mind which seeks to understand oceans, land mass, and geological structural support systems below the earth. You are fascinated by the ratio of water to dry land and the way each supports life on this little blue planet.

You remain keenly aware that all understanding comes from the Creator, and you derive great pleasure discovering the intimate secrets of His character revealed in the details of nature.

You deeply and fully appreciate a belief in intelligent design. Divine revelations you receive while observing nature, reach far beyond human understanding. You are enamored by the evidence of God sprinkled throughout the universe. You yearn to understand more of this great mystery.

You easily make the connection between Creator and Creation. You have been given the gift of divine comprehension which enables you to live life in both the natural and supernatural, simultaneously.

A life of dual loyalties to both the scientific and religious communities is rarely an easy path to walk. These two entities are often perceived to be in opposition to each other. However, with the gift of divine wisdom, you perceive it much differently. You find insurmountable evidence to the contrary.

You see a spectacular harmony between both the spiritual and the scientific realms.  You can easily detect synchronized cooperation between these two dimensions and are equally comfortable in both worlds.

This is an exciting lifestyle that few can understand. You comprehend it well because it has been your reality for as long as you can remember.

Timing is Everything

Genesis 8:8

Meanwhile, Noah sent out a dove to see if the water had gone down.

**************

There are times when you are ready to move into a new phase of your journey, but you have not been given the signal that it is time to move forward. Like Noah waiting for the water to subside, you may have to be patient and wait before taking the next step.

As the anticipation about an exciting new project builds, the wait can sometimes seem unbearable. However, without a signal from God that the time is right, an otherwise successful mission might become a disastrous mess.

If Noah had skipped the waiting period and began unloading the ark as soon as the rain stopped, the passengers and animals might have all perished in the flood waters.

While the ark may not have been the most desirable place to be, it was the safest. It may have been quite smelly and dirty, but it was the place for Noah to wait until God revealed that it was the right time to leave.

The dove in Noah’s story played a significant role in initiating the start of a new era. Noah was selected to rebuild civilization on a planet which had been washed clean by the flood.

Many centuries later, the Holy Spirit appeared in the form of a dove which appeared at Jesus’ baptism. Once again, a dove gave the signal. It was time for the Son of God to leave the carpenter shop in order to establish the new era of grace.

As an avid bird-lover, you appreciate the symbolism of doves. You find their presence soothing. It reminds you that God’s is always near and His Spirit will let you know when it is time to move forward into something new.

Honoring God

Deuteronomy 8:6

Obey the instructions of the Lord your God. Live as he directs you and honor him.

***************

You realize that nature is the expression of God and all human beings are His children. Therefore, you honor Him by honoring them.

You pay respect to your Creator in the way you live your life. You walk gently on the planet and show gratitude for the resources it provides. You lovingly protect the environment and lead by example to create positive change in your world.

You reject flashy fanfare and showy performances.  Instead, you choose the more noble path of walking quietly and humbly with your God.

Out of the Comfort Zone

lastwordrecovery

Luke 8:4

People were coming to Jesus from every town and city.

***************************

Finding Jesus in ordinary places is not difficult for you. While it is true He is not on this planet in His earthly form, you are able to detect His presence when you distance yourself from places and things which tend to distract you.

In your birthday verse from the book of Luke, it states that the people left their towns on a quest to see Jesus.

In a similar pattern, you too have your most intimate encounters with Christ when you are away from the city lights and the chaos of human interaction. You experience the presence of Jesus when you are in a solitary space.

Sometimes this is a literal endeavor, when you get off by yourself into a open air setting to connect with creation. You see Jesus more clearly when you shift your focus away from natural events in order to catch a glimpse of the supernatural.

This is not a rational process, nor does logic come into play. To see Jesus, there must be faith that He will be there when you arrive.

As you practice removing yourself from what is familiar and stepping out in faith, you are able to recognize Jesus more clearly. Refreshed by His energy, you find harmony and healing.

When you leave all the distractions behind, you are open to the sense of His presence in everything you see.

Your desire to see Jesus, and the effect He is having on the world around you, is the driving force for your divine destiny.

You do not remain set in your ways, with a rigid schedule of daily duties.  You sketch out a tentative plan in your mind each morning, but remain open to changes as the Holy Spirit directs your day.

The terms chance and coincidence are not part of your vocabulary.  You set out each day to find new evidence of divine intervention in ordinary events and you are never disappointed by what you discover.

Jesus appears to you in many forms.  He weaves Himself in and out of your day, energizing you with a sense of love, power, and confidence.

Sometimes you see Him in other human beings. Sometimes you see Him in animals and plants. You see Him in science and are passionate about discovering the complexities of the Creator’s design on this planet.

You hear Him in thunder and the whistling winds. You hear Him in music and laughter.

You hear the rustle of angel wings in the melodies of old hymns. You overflow with emotion when the gentle breeze of His Spirit whispers your name in the stillness of the night.

You discover the presence of Jesus when you seek Him. You remain alert and aware of His influence and promptings on a minute by minute basis.

You are willing to walk away from what distracts you in order to get a clear view of His presence.

Your prayers are not traditional or eloquent. They are more like a casual running conversation with a close friend.  His gentle peace surrounds you as His presence lights up the path where you walk.

Ecclesiastes 7:28

I discovered that good people are hard to find. Such people are one in a million!

One in a Million

You do not consider your life to be your own. You know that your life is set on a specific course designed by God. Your existence holds significant implications for future generations and you do not take this responsibility lightly.

This knowledge doesn’t indicate an attitude of presumption or arrogance, but rather, a position of humility. You know that your role is one of duty, rather than that of comfort and self-indulgence.

You know that without God’s gift of guidance, you would be wandering through life unsure of your purpose. Without knowing your purpose, you would be subject to life on the proverbial hamster wheel, struggling to find meaning for your existence.

You are grateful for the destiny you have been given and you know that there is nothing you lack in order to fulfill it.

Contentment comes easy to you, because God has enabled you to see through the deception of greed and envy to find the true meaning of life.

God has provided you with clarity of mind and purpose. Your work is an expression of your gifts and talents. You do not compete for other positions or titles.

You are content with what you have and enjoy working toward something greater than personal happiness.

Your deepest satisfaction comes when you confer with God in creative collaboration. You function best when you are working to improve the world you live in. You find that this is what generates your passion and creative expression.

Your willingness to follow God’s plan and timing is evident in the paths you take, and those you don’t.

God has given you a creative mind which empowers you with enthusiasm and fervor. You dedicate your days of human existence working for the greater good, because you are a good person and according to your birthday verse, you are one in a million!

Never Alone

A Date With Destiny – July 21 – Happy Birthday!

Deuteronomy 7:21

Don’t be afraid of anyone. The Lord your God is with you.

You enjoy a close bond with your Creator. You have a keen awareness of His presence when you pray. During times in your life when you have been most afraid, you sense His nearness so vividly that you can actually feel yourself wrapped in His arms.

You hear the rustle of angel wings in the melodies of old songs. Your emotions overflow when the gentle breeze of the Creator whispers your name while the music encircles you with the sound waves of comfort and love.

You have discovered the elusive tranquility that many seek but rarely find. You are reminded of it on a daily basis as you spend time with God in prayer. Your prayers are not traditional or eloquent. They are more like a casual running conversation with a close friend.  His gentle peace surrounds you as His presence lightens the atmosphere. Serenity is yours because you know that you are never alone and never forgotten.

A Date With Destiny – July 20 – Happy Birthday!

2 Samuel 7:20

Lord God, you love me, your servant so much!

*********

You have a unique ability to internalize the insights which have come to you from the Spirit of God. This personal interaction creates a bond of admiration and affection between you and your Creator.

Your imagination is the canvass on which God paints a self-portrait, allowing you to see Him more clearly. In this sacred space, your love for Him grows deeper.

You recognize Him in places where no one else would think to look. You feel His supernatural strength propel you on your journey. You sense His compassion toward the hurting world around you. You recognize God’s goodness in your life and in the lives of those you love.

You know God is with you, even when you feel surrounded by darkness. You are confident that His light will always shine through, to guide and protect your path.

You identify God as a loyal and devoted ally who has your back and guards your future. You remember how He has appeared to you in some of your darkest hours. Therefore, you have no doubt He will always be there beside you, even when your perception of Him might be obscured by conflict, anxiety, or confusion.

God has always been your safe companion. From early childhood, you have sensed a supernatural bond between yourself and the Divine.

There have been times in your life when it seemed as if the skies opened, and you caught a glimpse of His majestic presence.  In those momentary flashes of clarity, you realized that God truly knows all about you, and His desire is for you to know all about Him too.
