1526 Your Genesis Week
What can God do with the absence of your perfection? What can he do with the void of your confidence in what to do next? What can he do with the nothingness of your ability to fix the messes you find yourself in? Really, what can God do with nothing? Where can he go from the absolute bottom? What can he create when you feel like you have nothing left to start with? Oh, let me tell you precisely what …
1525 What Do You Need?
Whatever it is you are going through, God has a blessing right here for you. He’s not waiting to bless you on the other side of this, he’s meeting you right here with overflowing provisions and sweet blessings. Oh how I pray you notice them today. Dare to see what God is offering you here, even in the middle of what you’re trying to get away from. Psalm 23:5, “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my …
1524 She’s Down Again
Today, God is leading us to a battle to teach us a lesson. It’s a lesson we need. A lesson that will help us see our struggles from a different perspective. A lesson that will help us appreciate where we are, even when it’s not where we wanted to be. The battle is between the Israelites and the Arameans. Now before you think this battle from 870 years before Jesus is completely irrelevant to your life today, I assure you, …
1523 Get Your Spunk Back
Within you are likely places that have dried up. Old dreams and hopes that have died. What was once exciting and worth waking up for has become ordinary and unimpressive. Maybe life feels less than exciting right now. You’re droopy, low energy, withering away, and honestly you hate the fact that you’re nothing like you used to be. You use to be full of life. You used to be vibrant and energized. You used to be perky and happy. You …
1522 I’ve Got Trust Issues
Have you ever listened to a familiar song and suddenly had it hit different? Like the words just came to life and moved you as never before. That was me yesterday. Early on Sunday mornings while living here on the island, I take my dog down to the water to swim. The rest of the island is hung over from their Saturday night, so it’s quiet and peaceful. Unlike all the other weekday mornings of coming to the water, I …
1521 Never Meant To Be a Burden
As humans, we have a unique way of turning a blessing into a burden. We assume responsibilities never meant to be our own. We tie strings and conditions making simple things fussy and good things overwhelming. And we’re left with trying to rush through what we should be enjoying, dreading what we should be celebrating, and totally missing the point. It’s now December. This is the month 35% of us go into debt to buy Christmas presents, and 20% of …
1520 Just Be Impressed
Is it possible for you to impress God? I mean really set yourself apart in his eyes with your good works. Can you do that? Well, let me tell you something, I’ve tried. Dang, I’ve tried. I can’t count how many boxes I’ve checked just to follow the rules and be a good girl worthy of blessings. On the outside it looks real nice, but on the inside, it leaves me wondering if I’ve done enough. Then, in my classic …
1519 God Says HERE
God has something for you exactly where you are. Right here, in this season, in this place, he’s doing something. But honey, if you’re just trying to run away from it, escape it, and rush through to the next thing, you’re missing what he’s doing here. I heard a story of a woman who refused to buy towels because she knew she would be getting towels at her wedding shower. The problem was, she wasn’t even dating anyone. That may …
1518 Let God Be God
Here, within this hardship, God is being good to you. Here, in the middle of this mess, God’s blessings are pouring out on you. Here, in this season of life you never wanted to be in, God is being faithful in ways you have never seen before. You’ve never seen it before, because you’ve never needed it before. And now that you need God on a whole new level, you will see him working on a whole new level …
1517 It’s A Facade
Has the enemy been working overtime on you with discouragement? Do you feel like nothing is working, and nothing will ever work? Did you wake up this morning feeling a little more hopeless than you did yesterday because there are absolutely no signs of change, no signs of improvement, and no proof of God’s power at work here? Satan cannot diminish God’s power. He can’t block it in any way in your life. However, he can create chaos to distract …
