• Are you currently experiencing a "revealing"? A fiery trial that is burning away the dross to reveal the real you?  What is it that God wants you to know about yourself? and what are you going to do about it?

  • "The Lord answered her, 'Martha, Martha! You are worried and troubled over so many things, but just one is needed. Mary has chosen the right thing, and it will not be taken away from her.'" (Luke 10:41-42)

It is not that the tasks set before us or the issues in our world don't matter, Beloved. It is a matter of what (or better said, Who) we focus on FIRST.

Today my Pastor suggested three things to which we should give our attention:

The sluggishness of our worship.

The feebleness of our prayer.

The lack of zeal and courage in our evangelism.

To me, convicting words. You?

Blessings your Sabbath, friends.

Shalom.

  • I was once at a crossroad. Neither road looked particularly good. One was exceedingly dark and the other looked a lot like the edge of a cliff. People were telling me things about which way to go, but I didn't know if what they were saying was true.  So, like Gideon, I asked God for a sign.  (Jdg 6:36-37)

Then, just as He did for Nehemiah, God responded by giving me insight and understanding. (Neh 6:12-13)

God gave me clear discernment about which way to go and I turned down that exceedingly dark road. Immediately, I was under attack. Even friends and people in my church came against me. 

You never really understand the Footprints story until you actually experience it. Even then, you don't know that you're being carried until you look back and see one set of footprints. All I knew at the time was that my faith, which I had thought was so strong, was in fact, very small and very weak.

It was a dark and lonely time in my life.

Beloved, we all long for the mountain tops but it is in the valley where He strengthens us and gives us vision. It is in the valley where He prepares us for the ascent.

We don't just appear miraculously at the top of the mountain. We have to climb and often fight our way to the top! The valley prepares us for that journey.

Beloved, if you're currently in the valley, I pray that you will be able to feel the arms of the One who carries you. Don't believe the lie that says you are alone.

You are never alone. He is with you.

Beloved, if you're climbing the mountain, I pray that you will not lose heart. Press on! He who began a work in you will see it through to completion. Don't believe the lie that says you have to go it alone. 

You are never alone. He is with you.

Beloved, if you are at the summit, speak the word He has given you! Don't believe the lie that says it is not enough.

He is enough. He is with you.

Shalom.

  • One thing I love about crisp winter mornings is lying in my bed under 3lbs of blankets, snuggling deep into the coziness. At the hour I get up, the room is cold and the struggle to leave the warmth behind is real. This time of year, I grab my clothes and head upstairs to the loft where the air is warm. 

This is also our "TV room" and, unless my husband is in the room, the screen is usually dark and silent. But lately, I've discovered dishscapes, which is a "relaxing channel with ambient noise that can be enjoyed while you're doing something else." This month is a gorgeous scene straight out of the South Pacific. So as I dress for the day, I enjoy listening to the sound of the waves and keeping a sharp eye out for any surprise activity on screen.

This morning, my husband had left the TV on one of the automotive channels.  After punching in what I thought were the dishscape channel numbers I looked up to see "Showcase XXX" on the screen. Thankfully, these types of channels require a subscription, so there was no visual content, but it still had me scrambling for the remote. In my defense, I was operating pre-coffee and without my glasses!

With the cadence of the waves in my ears and the sun rising over a tropical landscape, I sat back with relief. 

Friends, this is how closely the enemy prowls. What happened this morning made me think about how easily we can step into sin. It's not just our TV and our computer screens.  Often it is our thoughts and our mouth which cause us to sin. 

So what's the cure? Head over to my blog www.inspiredbyjune.com to find out!

Shalom.
