Created to Glorify Him

By -
     Upon salvation, we receive the very nature of God (His own Righteousness and Holiness); therefore, He demands absolute Righteousness and Holiness from us.  Once His nature enters us it meets with our human nature which is bent to preconceived ideas, narrow minded thinking and all other allegiances.  Our sinful nature never alters God's purpose in us.  We are created by Him.  He made us to worship Him and glorify Him.  Then, we must rely, rest, and force through to this amazing realization; never allowing our intended purpose to be thwarted for very long without getting back on a course of Righteousness and Holiness.  ~ Amy

Impulsivity

By -
     Jude 20, "But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit."     Jesus Christ represents to me a calm strength in the every day circumstances of life; panic is not even a shadow in his temperment.  Impulsivity is the opposite.  It is a loud voice in the world that screams to be heard.  Panic is it's MO (Mode of Operation).  Impulsivity stunts our spiritual growth.  Learning how to discipline the impulse to act hastily, or speak too quickly, is key.   Replace your impulsive responses to the every day, 24/7 circumstances, with a slowly developed habit of praying first before speaking or acting.  It may just save you from real embarassment.  Lean into God for an understanding of your circumstances and pray to discern His wisdom and word.  Learning not to be in the center, and live exceptionally in the ordinary,...

Let's Talk about The Rivers

By -
     Rivers begin at a higher source and as Oswald Chambers is quick to point out, "A river touches places of which it's source knows nothing.... a river is victoriously persistent, it overcomes all barriers."  When a river flows into a deep canyon the canyon can become so narrow as to hide the river from site.  As it runs it's course through the canyon it picks up minerals from the boulders and various deposits that fall into it's waters.  These minerals become life giving nutrients.  Then the river breaks from the canyon and the water's velocity becomes smoother and wider.  Those minerals deposited in the canyon now offer nourishment to whatever it makes contact with.  The time spent overcoming the obstacle of the canyon is purposeful and meaningful long after enduring the stress it brings.       Our lives are quite similar.  When we keep our fo...

Can't Begin to Understand

By -
      Genesis 5:24, "Enoch walked with God."  What does it mean to walk with God?  Is it a feeling of security? A steadfast renewable joy? A peace that passes all understanding?  Is it sure?  Is it pleasant?  Is it plain and simple?  Is it a state of Brokenness? Is it a bumpy ride with bruises?  Is failure a regular result?  Is it confusing?  Is it turning the wrong direction?  Is it thinking the wrong things?  Is it misunderstanding His intentions?  Is it calculating things on my level?  Is it observing suffering?  Is it observing self-distruction?         Altering my patterns of discernment, walking, observing, and praying into complete abandonment to Him.  Relinquishing  my way: the way I see your people, the way I pray, the way I observe, the way I speak, the way I lea...
