THE PUSH INTO YOUR PURPOSE

At times we have to be pushed to the place we ought to be. The push comes  in many forms. It does not always feel good. In fact, it can be quite uncomfortable when we choose to remain is such a stable and comfortable place then are pushed out of that place. Although uncomfortable and sometimes painful, the push is necessary.

God is more concerned with our purpose than comfort. He will stir things up to push us into our purpose. God does not do these things to make us miserable, but He is doing it to push us into our purpose. I can personally say that I have recently experienced a chain of events that have prompted me to take the steps to not just flip the page to a new chapter in a book, so to speak, but to close the book. I can honestly say I do not know how much longer I would have chosen to remain in this stagnated, unhappy, comfortable place if those specific events had not happened.

We may not recognize the push for what it is or even appreciate it at the time, but one day we will be so grateful for it.

Be blessed.

THE SMALL THINGS

We serve such a mighty God! We hear about His awesome works though testimonies. The bible contains pages and pages of just how great He is. Because God is who He is, some assume such a mighty big God is not concerned with the things we consider small. How wrong is this assumption!

God is not only concerned about the major issues we face or go through but He is concerned about any and all things that concern us. He is the God with no limits and while He is handling a major issue for one, He is handling the "smaller" issue for another. Yes! At the same time! Remember, we serve a powerful and awesome God.

Involve Him in your daily life. Everything about us interest Him and He is intimately familiar with our ways:

O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
3 You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
5 You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me. Psalm 139:1-5

Be Blessed.

HE IS RISEN

2 Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. 3 And they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?” 4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large. 5 And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.

6 But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.7 But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.” Mark 16:2-7

Jesus hung on  the cross for your sins and mine. He died for you and me. He paid the ultimate price so that we could have eternal life. This is the most precious gift. The greatest gift. Although Jesus died and was buried, He rose. He is alive. True and living, Jesus is. 

Let us take the opportunity to remember all Jesus endured for us. We cannot forget just how good He is and the love He has for us.  Jesus lives. Jesus is not dead. He is risen!

Happy Resurrection Day! 

Be blessed.

SPRING FORWARD

Spring forward. Most of us were required to adjust our clocks by moving them forward one hour. Spring forward is what we call it. It's close to the time of the year when flowers bloom, the grass is green, and we consistently receive pleasant weather. I look forward to this time of year each year, but this year I feel more excited. I feel excited because it's time to spring forward not only in time but in life.

Yes! It's time to spring into action and dust off the plans I put to the side. It's time to spring forward with new beginnings. I feel a sense of springing within and I'm totally excited about it. Are you excited about the new season? Are you ready to spring forward? Is it time for you to take great leaps in faith and let God take you to where He wants you to go? Let's spring forward into a new thing.

Be blessed.
