Our problems are not God’s emergencies.

When you stand for Him you stand against your idea of what is right and wrong for you.  Things do not have to go your way for things to go well for you.  You do not have to be satisfied by man because you are satisfied with Him.

We have gotten off the right path because we want to light our footsteps with our own words.  We are stepping into insecure places because we want to light our paths with our own lamps.

You are His Temple.  Prepare yourself to be filled by His presence.

When we number our days, wisdom tells us to live as if we are the Lord’s no matter what we may be facing.  When we do this, we learn to live under the shadow of His wings, in the Power of His glory, in the abundance of His favor and in the excellence of His workmanship.

O Lord, things may be difficult for me, but I know You shall hide me in the shadow of Your wings.

Learn to focus more on the people around you instead of the things that hinder you.  Believe so that you become a help rather than hindrance.

Many are Called.  Few are Chosen.  Live quietly, listening and responding to the Lord with your lives more than your words.

Having a get-to-be spirit keeps us from focusing selfishly on ourselves.  It also keeps us from focusing on the things we believe we have to do.  God will favor you because you say to Him, I get to be your child, so I am happy to be an instrument of your work in the lives of those You know and those You love.

Favor the moms and the women in our lives no matter how difficult the circumstances of life we face.
