I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God. Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him. Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou? Ecclesiastes 8:2-4

A sovereign God may do as HE pleases, when HE pleases, how HE pleases, where HE pleases, to whom HE pleases. HE does not owe us an explanation. We cannot vote HIM in nor vote HIM out. We cannot impeach HIM. We cannot force HIM to do our will. HE is not intimidated by us. HE does not tremble at our collective measly might. HE is not confounded by our combined meager knowledge and limited understanding.

                                          

It is best for us to simply trust HIM. Submit fully to HIS will as we pray, “THY will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.” And even as HE allows things we understand not, let us not get beside ourselves and try to act as God, and impose our woeful will but just purely let HIM be God knowing HE’s still in control and all things are working together for our good to them that love HIM. And if HE’s still in control let us show that we know this by seeking and obeying HIS will for the lives HE has given us, knowing we have a day coming where we shall give an account to HIM of our actions, beliefs, and communication.

Rise and Shine, Beloved… Yes, God is real, real in my soul. Yes, God is real for HE has washed and made me whole. HIS love for me is like pure gold. Yes, God is real for I can feel HIM in my soul. Let everything that has breath praise HIM. A good Monday to you and yours, PEACE…

1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know HIM that is true, and we are in HIM that is true, even in HIS Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Ucan’tPleaseEverybody… It takes backbone to be able and willing to stand alone. Everybody doesn’t have to agree with you and neither do you have to agree with everybody. But I do pray that you agree with God and have the nerve to stand with HIM and for HIM even if you have to do it all by yourself. And there will come a time/s when you will have to do just that… And HE may not take your weight, your burden or test, but HE will strengthen and have your back… And if HE be for you…….

If you be too easily impressed, you will most likely be too easily deceived… All that glitters is not gold and neither is everything that simply sounds good. Satan attracts so he can distract and then subtract from you the most valuable thing he can get. Be discerning or the devil will leave you burning…

The Well...

The Well…

In the trying heat of the day,

Come be blessed at The Well.

You’ll find refreshing so powerful,

It delivers from thirst’s jail.

Come as you are to The Well,

Confessing your deepest need.

Immerse your whole being,

Be filled with nourishing love, indeed.

Come to The Well of glory.

Wash in the pure water of grace,

Cleansing sin from your soul,

Wiping shame from your face.

Gaze watchfully into The Well,

Behold light reflecting from your face.

Marvel at your glorious transformation,

By The Well’s wonder working grace.

Come boldly to The Well,

Despite pain of present or past.

Find inviting help for your hurt,

Merciful healing that will ever last.

Waters that saved, sanctified my soul,

I’ve drank at Emmanuel’s Well.

The Gospel story, now, I live to tell—

Jesus, God with us, HE is The Well.

The Well…

…whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. John 4:14

Is there an EAGLE in you?

Is there an EAGLE in you? Don't need a crowd to validate you... Got discernment of things earthly and heavenly... Watchful and attentive to the goings on of your surroundings...  Can see storms coming, but are not overly disturbed by them... Possess wisdom to use the power of the storm to elevate over it... Can spot opportunities for blessing from a distance and seize them... Can overcome, outwit, and outlast foes... Can endure catastrophe and be left standing when all else around has been destroyed, because you know when and how to take shelter... Can advance alone or when its good can partner up with another for sustenance and service... Loyal to the one you're in a relationship with, handling your responsibilities... Are an inspiration, a great example to others, just being you and doing the simple things with excellence that you do... Don't have to flail through life, but glide along on the wind of the Spirit, using just what the Father provided you. Bring forth beauty, dignity, and grace no matter the surroundings bringing glory to God, your Maker, Sustainer, your SALVATION... Is there an EAGLE in you?

The giant is in front of you so you that can manifest The GIANT that is inside of you... Don't fear, faith it forward, and claim your promise land...

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31

Rise and Shine...
