In our busy world today, one of the most difficult things for us to do is to sit still, yet the LORD tells us to do so!
How often instead of sitting still, we think of a hundred things we think we should do!
Especially in the age of technology, cell phones, internet, and social media!

Loving With His Love!
How did God love us? He gave His only Son for our sins!
John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.

No Matter The Cost!
When I was a young girl, I was drawn to a a song called — Are you able! The song told the story of Jesus’ disciples telling Him they would follow Him to death, when He asked them if they were able to follow Him through a baptism of suffering!
I’m not sure I understood what the words of the song meant then, but I do know that I had a desire to please my Father in heaven! The disciples had the same desire, yet we know that at Jesus darkest hour, they all rejected Him and fled!

Letting Go — Continuing On!
A good parent trains their children up in order to prepare them for life, and for independence!
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Ephesians 6:4
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the LORD.
When we are born, we are totally dependent upon our parents, for every need, but as we develop, that dependency should decrease with each passing year!

A Way Of Escape!
We will all face trials and temptations in this life, but we are promised that for every temptation placed in front of us, we will be provided a way of escape!
1 Corinthians 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Foolishness!
Are you foolish in the eyes of the LORD? Are you foolish in the eyes of the world?
The Word speaks of being foolish or a fool, but it also speaks about the LORD using the foolish things to confound the wisdom of the world!
What is the difference?
If you are a fool you are easily fooled by lies! You have no wisdom or discernment! Defined a fool is lacking in judgment, understanding, and the ability to reason!

The Emperor Has No Clothes!
So many today are living their lives to satisfy whatsoever their heart desires!
They are building up treasures on earth, but none in heaven!
They are seeking every earthly desire and pleasure — Things with no eternal value!
They are living their lives under what the Word of God calls the deceitful pride of life!
They are like the man thinking only in terms of earthly matters, and building bigger barns to store their treasures!

A Noble Aspiration!
I want to share something I shared with my daughter in 2007. I hope it will encourage the wives and mothers who read this message that being a wife and a mother is a noble aspiration!
Here is an email that I wrote to my daughter 18 years ago, and then some thoughts about the noble aspiration and high calling of being a wife and mother!

Fearing The LORD!
One of, if not the most important thing missing from our world today is the fear of the LORD!
When Isaiah saw the LORD, he realized his own frailty!
Isaiah 6:1,5
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple.

When You Think No one Sees!
The Spirit of the LORD showed Ezekiel what His people were doing when they thought no one could see them!
He even showed him what they were imagining in their minds!
In the story we see the Spirit taking Ezekiel by the hair of his head to show him what was being done in secret, even those things hidden in the hearts of those who claimed to be His children!

Overcome By Or Overcoming Fear?
Are you held captive by fears? Fears that something has happened, or will happen to you, or to your loved ones?
When you’re expecting a loved one, and they’re late, and you don’t hear from them, do you fear the worst?
How can we overcome fear, instead of being overcome by it?

At Home In The World!
Are you longing for your heavenly HOME? This morning as I prayed it came to me how so many are in love with this world and the things of this world!
Instead of longing for HOME and desiring the return of Jesus, they desire earthly pleasures, experiences, and treasures!

As You Go!
Who has God placed in your life? Where do you find yourself at this point in your walk? What are you doing?
As we walk through life we are on a daily mission! We are each called to be missionaries!
This is the mission of a child of God — Not just some of His children, but each of us!
Matthew 10:7-8
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

Weeping Prophets!
Where are the weeping prophets today? Where are those who like Jeremiah, Ezekiel and others cry out for the people of God to turn back to Him?
Ezekiel 14:6,11
Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the LORD GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.

We Should Grieve Over Sin!
What do we do when we look at our lives, and our hearts, and at the world around us?
Do we grieve at what we see? Or do we just do nothing and tell ourselves, there’s nothing we can do, we’re just sinners ourselves and evil is everywhere!
Do we mock, or laugh at sin and make light of the seriousness of its consequences?
Do we allow sin to stay in our hearts, and in our lives, or do we cry out to the LORD — LORD, forgive me, I repent of this sin in my life!

What Do You Treasure?
I want to start with the conclusion because it is the answer to how we should be living, and where our hearts should be, especially as we see the day of the LORD approaching!
Matthew 16:26
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Beloved, whatever we treasure in this life will be what captures our hearts!

Does Your Life Align With The Word of God?
Do you say that you are a Christian? Does your life align with His Word?
If you say you love Him, but don’t walk in obedience to His Word, you don’t really love Him!
1 John 2:1-6
My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous: And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

Who Are You Walking With?
The Word talks a lot about what kind of people we should be! It also speaks about the kind of people we should walk through life with — And those to avoid!
Who we choose as friends, and as our spouse is very consequential! The Word says that bad company corrupts good morals. As much as we’d like to think it would, it doesn’t work the other way around!

One!
One is important!
There is One God and One Mediator between God and man — The man Jesus Christ!
1 Timothy 2:5-6
For there is One God, and One Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
There is only this One Way to the Father — Jesus Christ!
John 14:5-7
Thomas saith unto him, LORD, we know not whither Thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.

Irrelevant?
Who does the LORD choose to call His own? Does He look for a person or a people that are mighty in number and in strength, or those deemed weak and irrelevant by the standards of the world?
And sadly it’s not only the world that calls those whom God would set apart to call His own, irrelevant — Often it is a worldly church that does so!

The Art Of Deception!
So many of us bought into and even glamorized the tactics of the enemy! Instead of seeing deception for what it is — A lie, we saw it as a justifiable means to a desired end!
Even though our motivation was one desiring truth and justice, we allowed for deception to be part of the solution!
Satan is called the deceiver, and the father of lies! When we operate in deception and lies, we are operating in his kingdom!
