Patiently Waiting!

Consider the farmers who patiently wait for the rains in the fall and in the spring. They eagerly look for the valuable harvest to ripen.
James 5:7, NLT
Patiently Waiting
Are there some situations today that you need to be patient about and leave alone? You’re striving, trying to force something, living stressed, but nothing’s changing. Come back to a place of peace. Give yourself permission to rest. This takes all the pressure off. Say no to the urgency that makes you feel like it’s up to you to bring the rains, to make everything happen. No, God is in control. You keep honoring Him, being your best, and God will take care of those crops. He’ll bring the rains. He’ll bring the right people. He’ll open the right doors. He’ll turn your child around. He hasn’t brought you this far to leave you. Those dry seasons are not going to stop your harvest. They’re a distraction to try to steal your peace, to get you frustrated and impatient. Try a new strategy. Making everything work out is not your job. When your harvest is ready, all the forces of darkness cannot stop what God has for you. The reason it’s taking longer is because your harvest is going to supersede what you have in mind.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that everything You have for me will be released in my life at the right time. Thank You that I can wait with great expectancy for the harvest, knowing that You are working behind the scenes. Help me to be patient and know that You are always on schedule. In Jesus’ Name,

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...

The Best Anxiety Preventive!

  The Best Anxiety Preventive Memorize and Meditate “ Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. ” (James 1:21) Soak your Heart For the Word of God to work in our heart, we need to make sure we have a clean heart, free from the control of sin. This is why we confess and repent of our sin to restore a working relationship with God. One of the best protections against sin gaining control is to humbly accept and plant the Word in our heart. God’s Word can save us from fear, anxiety, and a host of other maladies seek to control us. The Psalmist said he hid God’s Word in his heart so he would not sin against God. We want to soak our heart in the Word. Sow to the Spirit As I meditate on these concepts, I want to sow them to the Spirit by praying them into my heart and soul. I ask God to implant his Word deeply within my inner being. His Word is food for my spirit and soul. More times than I can re...
