Every Moment Matters

"Every Moment Matters"  

We live in a shallow world full of shallow opinions. Everyone has one and everyone thinks they’re right.  Few people truly desire to learn and grow. Few people hunger for meat; depth and though I am not a big meat eater, I hunger for so much more. We can share whatever we want on social media. We can give reasons or excuses why we choose to do this or that. But in reality, we waste so much time. Time that God has given us. All without accountability. We’ve gotten so used to it that we forget that God’s Word tells us that we will be held accountable. That frightens me. Every idle moment. Every idle word. All that we do and don’t do will be brought to our attention. The LORD is speaking some Tough Truths to my heart today.

Everything that The LORD does is for a purpose. He doesn’t waste words. Everything He says has Power. He doesn’t have an idle moment. He purposefully molds and designs every single day and too often we end up getting in His way. Can you imagine our lives being like that?  Hurts my heart to think of how often I must get in His way. I want to be led by Him every single moment. I mean truly led by Him. and let’s be honest, not everything we do is led by Him, even if we say it is. We waste so much time. I have such an urgency that something needs to change. But at the same time, if I’m honest with you, I’m so tired and feel like giving up because no one really cares. But God doesn’t tell us “Don’t do as I do but do as I say, do” He tells us “Look at me, what I say to do, I do. So, be like me” It doesn’t matter what so and so says, it only matters what God says, and He tells us we will be held accountable, so choose to be more like Him.

 Let’s make each moment count: Seek God’s Kingdom first. Manage His time in the best way for Him. Taking care of how we live and what we say and what we do;  “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise. Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” – Ephesians 5:15-16

Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!

   Scripture For The Day  December 19, 2023 Luke 19 part 1 "Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!"  And Jesus passed through Jericho. Jericho had a lot of history, even at that time. It was a major trading center and there was a wealthy tax collector named Zaccheus who lived and worked there. He heard about Jesus and decided to see for himself. But he was a short man and there were a lot of people traveling with Jesus and a huge crowd lining the street waiting to see Jesus pass by. Less than 15 miles away, Jesus had just raised Lazarus from the dead. He was a rockstar. So, Zaccheus ran up ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Jesus. As soon as Jesus got to the tree, He looked up and said “Zaccheus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.” I bet y’all are singing the song right now…I was. 😊 The crowd began to murmur. How could Jesus eat with a sinner like this dishonest tax collector? Zaccheus was so overwhelmed with the love of Jesus that he

He Restores My Soul

Scripture For The Day    November 14, 2023 "He Restores My Soul"  Psalm 23- Most of us know this beloved Psalm. The LORD is our Shepherd and we who believe are His Sheep. However in recent years, the label of ‘sheep’ has become a derogatory term. I don’t care. I am so very thankful that I am part of His flock. So, Baa Baa baby. Call me a sheep. I know that I matter to Him just as much as the other sheep in His flock. No more, no less. In His Word, His people are never described as lions. But as meek and dependent sheep that depend upon a Shepherd. I’ll take that any day. Because it’s The Truth. I learned this passage when I was a little girl. But no one took the time to teach me what it meant. So, I was always confused by the first verse” “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Why? I would ask The LORD? Why can’t I ‘want’ You? I Love You and I do ‘want’ You to be with me. It wasn’t until I was much older and studying on my own that I discovered the word ‘want” meant

Aijeleth Shahar

  Scripture For The Day  November 13 th , 2023 "Aijeleth Shahar"  Psalm 22 has David assigning this song to the director of the corporate worship stating it is to be sung or chanted by “Aijeleth Shahar” translated means by the hind of the dawn or “The Deer of The Dawn”. Made me think of how sometimes there are little songs for kids to learn and they often use the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” for them to learn them better. Psalm 22 is a cry of anguish and as per usual a song of Praise. And by the very first verse, we can read words that Jesus Christ, Himself, spoke on The Cross. Jesus often quoted scriptures.  “My God, My God, why hast Thou Forsaken Me? (why art thou so) far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?” You have no idea how deeply this verse spoke to me today. I woke up early this morning thinking of the word Forsake. So, as I type I am asking The LORD, “What are you bringing to my heart today?” to forsake means to abandon or turn against. Mak
