Trembling While you RUN!

Isaiah 66:1-3 (King James Version)

Isaiah 66:2

2For all those things hath Mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at My word.

There are times that as we are running our own race we get down, we may feel dejected and even defeated but GOD wants us to know today that He is looking at us.
The word "poor" in the Hebrew means depressed in mind or circumstances, humble, lowly, needy, poor. The word contrite means smitten.maimed, dejected, or lame. Is that where you are today? Well God wants us to know that we just need to keep running and while we are running we need to continue to "tremble" at His Word. Meaning we need to reverence His Word and be in awe of it continually even when things are going great. When we reverence His Word we learn to come under it in obedience no matter what is going on. We learn to look at the situation and say although it doesn't look good in the natural I will uplift the Father's Word, trust and apply it. We all have times where we get pressed down by circumstances and God is watching us, He sent His Word to help and heal us in our lameness. Rejoice today knowing that God knows and He cares. Stay humble no matter what you are going through, dig into God's Word and take refuge in it. Use your tongue to bless God when life is pressing you, tell GOD how much you appreciate Him and His Word. Tell GOD how much you are hurting and how much you are depending on Him to see you through...and He will (-:

Obeying +Walking = Wellness

Jeremiah 7:23-28 (New American Standard Bible)

23"But this is what I commanded them, saying, 'Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you will be My people; and you will walk in all the way which I command you, that it may be well with you.'

24"Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but walked in their own counsels and in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward and not forward.

God started this year talking about walking, running, etc...and there is more to be said about those things but it is very hard to run your race and fight the good fight of faith if you and I are not first obedient. I posed the question last week. How many areas will God allow us to disobey Him before He corrects us or allows us to backslide or worse become reprobate?! Like you, I'm not willing to find that out. This is why a relationship with God is so vital. When we spend time with Him, He speaks to us. When we spend time in His Word--He speaks to us and we learn His voice. That's a relationship it's two sided. Whether God talks to us in our spirit or through His Word we are communicating with each other. He says, Obey my voice and I will be your God. So what happens to that standing when we disobey Him? Who is our God then? We are! Uh oh... Ok so then we repent and cry out for help and God says now walk in the way that I command you. Not in the way your feelings tell you to walk, your momma, or your best friend no! Walk in my ways, though they may appear strange and cause all kinds of internal conflict walk in my ways. Why? That it may be WELL WITH YOU! God is saying I created you and I have put spiritual laws into place, you will never be consistently successful with Me or in life doing things YOUR WAY! It has to be MY WAY. Can I tell you that there will be no rebels in Heaven, and the ones that get in with satan at his last attempt to act crazy will join him forever in the Lake of Fire....period. No we can't afford to be rebels or mavericks doing what we want, we have to obey Him and do things His way. When we obey Him we are promised wellness as we walk. Is it well with your soul? If not go back to the last command the LORD gave you and obey (-:

Is Jesus Really Lord of Everything in Your Life?

Luke 6:46 (Amplified Bible)

46Why do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do not [practice] what I tell you? The greek word for Lord in this verse is kurious. One meaning says, supreme in authority. The dictionary breaks it down this way:
Lord- One having power and authority over others: a ruler by hereditary right or preeminence to whom service and obedience are due: an owner of land or other real property: the male head of a household, husband: one that has achieved mastery or that exercises leadership or great power in some area.
Jesus is Lord, and He is Lord whether we obey Him or not. He is Lord whether we agree with Him or not. He is Lord because that is the title given to Him by the Father, that IS Who He is. As Lord and Master, He has every right to make demands of us. But He has also given us the right to choose His way or our way. The sad part is the longer we disobey Him in anything the harder we get in that area, and then GOD has to bring out His belt and then it's off to the shed!!!
So here is some food for thought. If we are resisting His will in any given area then we are not practicing His will in that area consistently right? So then if we are not practicing what He's telling us on a regular and consistent basis then have we dethroned Him in that area? How many areas can we be disobedient to Him in or self willed, before we end up in a backslidden state or worse a reprobate? I can't answer that. Only God knows how much or how little He's going to put up with. One thing I do know, our relationship with Him is too precious to jeopardize and so are our souls.
My advice. Stay in the Word, Stay Tender, Repent Quickly, and Obey Instantly. I remember one night driving home and the LORD saying to me Marva stop at the train tracks. It was 5am and I was tired and I wanted to get home, so I kept going. Then Jesus said it again but this time He shouted STOP!!!! I came to a stop instantly and as I did, without any warning a train zoomed past me. I sat there both shook and thankful that Jesus didn't tell me one time only and leave me to suffer the consequences, He very well could have if He wanted to because as LORD- He can do whatever, whenever, and however. I'm so thankful that He told me again and I listened. What is God requiring of you dear one? Let Jesus be LORD, obey Him in that thing(s)and reap the freedom and rewards from that obedience today (-:

In The Potter's Hands, A Poem of Hope (-:

As the Potter's Hands are busy
Molding His Work of Clay,
His Vessel becomes More Useful
In Service to Him each day.
Every trial has its Purpose,
...Each loss - Its infinite gain,
In the life of the Potter's Child,
No Suffering is in Vain.
Tragedy, Illness, and Sorrow
May Shatter Our Best Made Plans,
But Perfect Peace is Ours...
Resting in The Potter's Hands. Amen!

"...O Lord, thou art our Father; we are the clay
and Thou our Potter; and we all are the work of Thy hand." Is.64:8)
