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 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 beca...

Faith Hebrews 11:6 – it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that He rewarder those who sincerely seek him.               Reading over Hebrews 11, and its main focus point is on the topic, “Faith.” When you just stop and think it’s clearly stated. You cannot please God without faith. Like, how can I please you, Father, if I don’t have faith in who you are as my maker? All these people in Hebrews are being led by faith. They literally are relying on God’s promise alone and having no idea what’s coming around the corner. They were obedient to the calling of Christ. It pleases God that we are faithful to His calling in our lives. I like think that our obedience is a sweet fragrance unto Him in the heavens. Pleasing the Lord is what I was put on this world to do. I was created to spread the love of Christ to whoever would receive it. This verse makes a go...

Perseverance 1 Luke 8:11-15 – This is the meaning of the parable; the seed is God’s word. The Seeds that fell on the footpath represent those who hear the message, only to have the devil come and take it away for their hearts and prevent them from believing and being saved. The seeds on the rocky soil represent those who hear the message and receive it with joy. But since they don’t have deep roots, they believe for a while, then they fall away when they face and temptation. The seeds that fall among the thorns represent those who hear the message, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life and so they never grow into maturity. And the seeds that fell on the good soil represents honest, good hearted people who hear God’s word, cling to it, and patiently produce a huge harvest. This whole passage basically is the observations. It’s talking about 4 different kinds of people and what happens after they hear the word of God. The f...
