The Right Place At The Right Time


Have you ever JUST utter a prayer under your breath, and the VERY next person you talk to says EXACTLY what you were praying about?!

Proverbs 15:22-23 TPT (The Passion Translation)
22 Your plans will fall apart right in front of you if you fail to get good advice. But if you first seek out multiple counselors, you’ll watch your plans succeed.
23 Everyone enjoys giving great advice. But how delightful it is to say the right thing at the right time!

I LOVE how the Lord works things out for us! He is SO creative! These two verses go flip-flop in my head. When we get advice, it is because we are seeking advice. Verse 22 also is a reminder, that when “we think” we have a ‘plan’, we need to actually seek the advice of others and not just run all willy-nilly into something without wise counsel. This is in ALL areas of life really lol

Unfortunately, most of us are “stand alone” type people. We don’t want to “bother” others with our concerns. Or, we are afraid of failure, so we don’t seek out advice. Then, there is the ‘know-it-all’ way of thinking – and that is when we think we know the right thing and way, and don’t want others’ useless opinions. Tragedy!

Over and over again the bible is clear about getting the wise counsel of MORE than one person (which could be yourself lol). That it is always best to get at least three. When we have something we are choosing to do, and we need counsel, we try and get the advice from not only three different sources, but three different age categories too. Of course, we pray first asking God to lead us to and bless us with being able to “hear” their counsel. Then as God is preparing both us and them – we start going down a person list in our head, and the ones that POP, are the ones we ask. Sometimes they are believers and sometimes they are not, it is a mixture of wise counsel. Why? Because God can make all things work together for our good when we trust Him and the people He puts in our path.

I pray that today, if you have something pressing on your heart – that you first pray for God to guide and direct both you and the people you are to talk with. Then allow your heart to be open to the people He impresses upon it.

Thank You Father, for always looking out for our best interest. I thank You Papa for speaking directly to us and to others as well. Daddy, I pray in the name of Jesus, that You open our ears, heart and mind to be receptive to those that You Holy Spirit will bring into our day. Thank You – amen.

God have an awesome day! Be well, be safe and BE blessed!! Love ya!

How To Be Rich...In Good Works

Image
1 Timothy‬ ‭6:17-19 “Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others. By doing this they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may experience true life."      What an amazing passage!! Even if we are not rich by our standards or the worlds...we CAN be 'rich in good works'! Being generous isn't always about money. It can be time, conversation, love, kindness... Remember, when we 'do to the least of these' we are doing it to/for Jesus. Today, you have the opportunity to 'experience true life' - you do!! How? By being ready, on the alert, to help, share, do good for someone else. Some people may look alright on the outside, ...

What Does Twilight Look Like To You

Image
Isaiah 21:4 (NIV) My heart falters, fear makes me tremble; the twilight I longed for has become a horror to me. This chapter contains prophecies against  Babylon ,  Edom  and  Arabia . However, this verse jumped out at me for a different reason. First of all, I had a bit of an MEF (mind’s eye flash) of sitting on a porch overlooking the vast sky towards a big open space. Watching the sun set. Actually sitting there anticipating the setting sun and all of the colors that will be painted across the sky at twilight. How amazing and beautiful the sky becomes each and every night, as God uses it to create a magnificent canvas of art for us to enjoy! I am absolutely amazed each time I see His wonderful sunsets! Then the MEF changed. These verses reminded me of the times I have lost loved ones. How that beautiful night sky became a symbol of the fear, yes even horror of the night to come. The beauty might as well have turned to ashes at that moment ...

How To Avoid Meaningless Conversations

Image
1 Timothy‬ ‭1:4-5 “Don’t let them waste their time in endless discussion of myths and spiritual pedigrees. These things only lead to meaningless speculations, which don’t help people live a life of faith in God. The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith."      Have you ever had a conversation with someone that feels like 'it's SO off track' or that leads to a debate of things that just 'don't feel right'? LISTEN to that Red Flag from the Holy Spirit! Excuse yourself, and walk away! Why? Because the enemy uses these crazy opinions & topics to dance around in your head and thoughts for days, weeks, even months ahead. Being a part of a conversation that gets so derailed from truth, is NOT good for anyone! If you cannot bring it back to truth, giving God glory - then leave.      For me, when people start telling colorful, inappropriate jokes, if I can...
