WALLS

While journeying through life, there are times you encounter obstacles which slow your progress and block your view of the future.  There may even be times when an entire fortress of emotional walls loom in front of you, standing sure and solid while blocking your ability to move toward the destiny God has promised you. 

These are the times when your faith rises up and you advance, one step at a time, confident in the authority of Christ. Knowing that the He is an expert in emotional and spiritual well-being, you trust His plan to crumble those walls, no matter how solid they appear.

Relinquishing any doubts which may try to invade your thoughts, you look to the insights given in this birthday passage:

Joshua 6:3 March around the city walls one time every day. Do this for six days.

Certain of God’s desire to see you move forward and convinced that He maintains total comprehension of all matters concerning mind, body, and spirit, you follow His marching orders precisely.

With deep spiritual perception, you can envision the walls crumbling, even before the slightest crack appears.   Using the authority of Christ and the power of faith, you put one foot in front of the other, and wait for the results.

Walls of fear, distrust, resentment, and regret are toppled by an unexplainable force.

As the walls separating you from your destiny begin to quake and crumble, you advance through the rubble and lay claim to your purpose.

HAND MADE BY GOD

In a world of competition and comparisons, you sometimes wonder if your value is measured by what you do, rather than by who you are.

This is a concern for many human beings. Some struggle to do more, or to be better than everyone else in order to feel significant.  Others think that money, talent or popularity will make them feel important. Sadly, these schemes are worthless.

Knowing that you are handmade by the Creator of the universe assures you of your value.  Since you are so special to God, He designed you in a unique and wonderful way. Before your mother even knew you existed, God was already weaving together the strands of your DNA.

Imagine His excitement as He  selected your eye color, your voice tone, and your sense of humor! He gave you a love for animals and the ability to connect with them on a level other humans may not understand. He infused you with a high level of curiosity and compassion.

He placed within you, specific gifts and talents which you are just beginning to discover.

Your value is far beyond what you do or say. You are much more important than your achievements or your awards.

You are a person with a destiny; designed by the God of the galaxies.

You play an important role in the future of humanity. Each day you spend on this planet becomes a  significant part of history.

God knows the value of your unique human spirit. He knows that your heart is filled with compassion, determination, and enthusiasm. He has given you a mind, body, and temperament which will are ideal for your journey.

Long before anyone knew you, God was sketching out a plan; designing you perfectly for the destiny which will be yours.

Saying is Sowing

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. Psalm 107:2

We believe in the scriptural principle of sowing and reaping. We see the effects of this principle in the natural realm as well as the spiritual. We are certain that an oak tree will not grow from a thistle seed. Therefore we do not expect to receive hope and healing by speaking of our addiction as a lumbering giant which threatens to steal our sobriety.

We dare not speak of relapse, as this seed grows into a massive, poisonous vine which produces an itchy sensation known as irritable, restless, and discontent syndrome. We dare not speak of our past indiscretions as a boastful or laughable matter, for this seed will grow into a field of dandelion memories, brightly colored egotistical blooms which turn to hollow shams of fly away seeds, searching for another ego to embed. We dare not speak of our resentments, for this is the thicket which depletes our energy and slows our progress.

The words which produce a harvest we don’t want, ought never be sown by our voice.
