Is the Source of your Flow obstructed?

By -
      My Utmost encourages us that we should "'be being filled' (Eph 5:18) and the sweetness of the vital relationship with Jesus will flow out as lavishly as it is imparted to (us).  If not, something has obstucted the flow."  It would seem to say that even in the struggles and trials of this life as we remain focused on the Source, Jesus Christ, our circumstances may not seem blessed, but rivers of living water will still flow.  So, I stopped this morning and examined the "flow," taking into consideration all types of circumstances/obstacles in life today.  What obstructs the Source of your flow?  Busyness and Stress, Rebellion, Terminal Illness, Death and Sorrow, Frustration?  Yea, all of these can obstruct the flow of His living water - not from entering your spirit but from exiting your spirit.  (John 7:38, "... shall flow rivers of living water.)  Won't you take a moment to be still and allow Him to reveal any obstruction that is keeping you from passing on the living water he is supplying?  Rememeber, a river will be victorious even when obstructed so keep looking to your Source.  Not even the Mighty Hoover Dam can stop His river.

#UntilWeMeetAgain

 Happy 1st Birthday in Heaven, Dear One! 🩵🎂🎉🥳🎈🩵Oh, I can see your face clearly and hear your infectious giggle, Sheri 🩵💞💝💞🩵 What it must be like to dwell in the House of The Lord!! What it must be like to sing there!!! “What a Mighty God we serve, angels bow before the Mighty One we serve! Lord, You’re Mighty! Lord You’re Mighty! You are Awesome, Awesome!” Carpooling to our MK meetings together is really where our friendship began nearly 20 years ago. You were the perfect “partner in crime.” One who could fill my heart with joy while distracting me from deep grief after So Much Loss! One who could make me laugh again. You’d go anywhere with me to keep me above the struggle 💓 and it was always a party to be with you! 🥳 We’d be singing to the top of our lungs back and forth everywhere we went, back then! And I was in heaven when you got that Lexus with the sunroof that I had never had! You’d open up that roof, our voices rising to the Heavens, “My God is Awesome, Awesome, He

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, is not easily acquired.

If You Have Faith as a Mustard Seed.......

By -
I am reminded once again of the importance of faith and trust, and the power of even the tiniest amount. It is why the devil will do anything to undermine and destroy our faith. Without it we are weak and of very little use in accomplishing God's purpose. It can be more difficult to have faith when we are feeling discouraged and overwhelmed yet it is no less important during those times. The Bible says it is "the cares of the world that chokes out the word of God". Those cares can sometimes cause us to take our focus off of God and on to our trials. I need to make a conscious decision every day to remain faithful and obedient and trust God to guide my decisions and choices. Oswald Chambers says, "Never confuse the trial of faith with the ordinary discipline of life, because a great deal of what we call the trial of faith is the inevitable result of being alive. Faith as the Bible teaches it, is faith in God coming against everything that contradicts Him---a faith
