When Faith is at it's best

The measure of conscious effort in our faith is the measure of our faith’s weakness. When faith has become a spontaneity of our character, when it turns to God instinctively, when it does its work with the involuntariness of habit, then it has become strong. Faith does more than hold our hand in darkness; it leads us into the light. It is the secret of coherence and harmony. It does not make experience merely bearable; it makes it luminous and instructive. It takes the separate or the tangled strands of human experience and weaves them into one strong cable of help and hope

Morning Devotion 11.29.10

May I walk this day
in the realm of grace,
walking with You
my feet firmly on your earth-path,
my heart loving all as kindred,
my words and deeds alive with justice.

May I walk as blessing,
meeting blessing at every turn
in every challenge, blessing,
in all opposition, blessing,
in harm’s way, blessing.

May I walk each step in this moment of grace,
alert to hear You
and awake enough to say
a simple Yes.

Morning Devotion for 10.26.10

“LORD, show me the way today.
Show me an aspect of your
greatness that I tend to overlook.
Show me what makes you smile and
what makes you sad.
Show me people whom I need to
Forgive and from whom I
should seek forgiveness.
I especially need you to show me … you.
Thank you for showing yourself to me in your son,
Jesus Christ. Amen.”

Praying in Psalms

Today's morning devotion I took it from the book
"Reluctant Pilgrim" by: Enuma Okoro

"Reading the Psalms allowed me to grow into my own haphazard prayers and to inch my way before God with all my conflicting thoughts and feelings. If people in the Bible could shake their fists at God while truly believing in the majesty of God, then maybe there was room in my own faith for anger and frustration, sorrow and questioning, bafflement and longing. Maybe there was room to sit in pain, to beseech God, and to plead with God. And still find some corners to crawl into after it’s all said and done and lift my hands in praise and gratitude that I worship a God who can take all this and more if need be."


May you all have a blessed day. The weather is soo beautiful! Our Father God is even more beautiful!

In case you ever wonder

Devotional this morning:

"Hello, blogger-

The one with that dream in your heart,

That idea on your mind,

That desire that just won't go away.

You wonder...can I do this?

You can do all things. (Philippians. 4:13)

You ask...do I have what it takes?

You've got all you need. (2 Peter 1:3)

You question...is who I am okay?

You're more than okay, you're His. (Psalm 139:14)

So go for it.

Dare to make that difference, take that step, follow that dream. God will go with you, and love will see you through."

*(Heart to Heart with Holly)*

In God's Hands

This morning's devotional really spoke to me in a way of encouragement and strengthening. Lately, I've been feeling tossed and used in so many ways I can't bare to explain. But when the day ends, all the matters most is my Heavenly Father. This part of the devotional particularly spoke rebukingly and bluntly on me. I know now Whom I must please, and that is He who reigns on High!

"As you go about your day, remember that we are not in control of life. We can control only one thing: how we respond to life. Take responsibility for responding in a manner that would please God, and trust that all else is in God’s hands. If God wants you to accomplish something, trust that it will be accomplished."

You Are Not Alone

You are not alone - For God is with you.
You are not defenseless - For God is your protector.
You are not inadequate - For God is your sufficiency.
You are not useless - For God has a purpose for your life.
You are not worthless - For God sent His Son to die for you.
You are not without hope - For God has a place prepared for you.
You are not unloved - For God loves you with an everlasting love.
You are not rejected, or abandoned - For God calls you His own.

-Roy Lessin

"I will never fail you. I will never abandon you." So we can say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?" Hebrews 13:5-6 NLT
