He Will

He Will
Zephaniah 3:17 – The Lord you God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take a great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.

This is a powerful verse. It is powerful to me because it starts with a promise. The Lord IS with me. It’s doesn’t say He is there sometimes, it’s a constant and everlasting promise that He will never leave me. He is there through it all.  I need to have trust that he will save me from myself and the physical and mental things that try to keep me back from fulfilling my purpose. It also a comfort to know that God takes great delight in me. I have no earthly idea why I am a delight unto the Lord but I am.  I am not worthy to take joy in, no earthly thing is. But, when we recognize that we are nothing, then which allows God to show us how much He can truly use us for. We are like pencil you see. We are useless unless we are picked up by the hand of a creator to put it into motion. The Creator finds joy when he can draw something new. I am God’s delight not because I’m worth being used, but because he makes me usable. That’s pretty cool.

Next, He says He will quiet me with His love.  I don’t know about you guys, but I know for me I could use a little bit of quiet. Not noise wise of course but spiritually. I don’t want my flesh drowning out the sound of my soft spoken God. I need to have faith in the promise that He will protect me and come into all the small and big aspects of my life. He will calm all my fears. He will rejoice over me with singing. When I think of singing, I think of David. How he was so passionate to sing praises to God. The rejoiced in the presence of God. I can’t even imagine God over me. That’s like me rejoicing over a dirty worm. I’m not worthy of his song. But I thank God I get to be a part of that and that he chooses to rejoice over me. He chooses have his will upon me.
I know that God is going to work everything out and I don’t have to be afraid of my fears of not physically being able to do ministry the way I wish I could. But, God made me the way I am for a reason, and I have to trust that He will supply my every need, in every season. He will watch over me with his love and with that love he will calm all my fears.

Blessed

Blessed Deuteronomy 3:21 – “…Your eyes have seen all that the Lord your God has done…” I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to serve in Costa Rica for these past 6 months.   God has shown me so many things that I will never forget. He has revealed to me the truth about myself that I have an attitude of complaining, pridefulness and laziness, all which needed to be strip away. He has displayed to me his promises of faithfulness, provision, fulfillment, renewal, and boldness. He has also allowed me to look through his eyes and experience his love that he has for all his children. Honestly, I don’t ever think that I would have experience that kind of love anywhere else. I can’t even explain it, it’s like complete joy and fulfillment. I don’t know, it’s crazy. That is something that I am going to bring back home with me, I am passionate about kids and loving on them the way the Lord loves me. This season was amazing but, what I have to remember is, that just because

Consistency

Consistency Romans 12:1-2 - Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. I am convinced that these verses is one of my overseer’s favorite to quote. I have heard it so much the past 6 months, that it’s pretty much now one of my favorites now as well. This section is talking about being a living sacrifice to the Lord. We are supposed to walk in holiness and in purity while we are on this earth.   Now that can be really hard, like really hard. Because that means we have to be consistently living a life that is set apart. This section doesn’t say “Do not conform to the pattern of this world”… SOMETIMES. No, it say, “Do not”. For example, why is it that we won’t

Wisdom 5 Ephesians 5:15-17 – See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. If we walk by godly wisdom, then it will help us determine what our purpose is. But there’s a few curve balls to this. Right here in this verse, it’s basically promising us that there are going to be hard days ahead. There is nothing we can do to prevent them but to stay faithful in your calling. The verse goes on and says, “Therefore.” Now this is a very important transition word. It letting us know that the next portion has something significant to say to us. And that is, DO NOT BE UNWISE. Plan and simple. Don’t do it. The bible tells us on many occasions to not be wise in your own worldly eyes. It also tells us that a fool will look at the world with his own eyes and not through the eyes of Christ. That is definitely a dangerous place to be. I bet your wondering what t
