His Hand

-
At the point of decision...what should I do?  I don't want to miss Your plan for me God. I'm feeling anxious, edgy, don't like that, I'd rather have Your peace.  Those were my feelings a few weeks ago. I was at the point of a major decision in my life and usually that comes with a lot of stress for me.  That is until I can get my focus adjusted....

Then I "saw" it, a picture in my mind, yes God speaks to me in "pictures".  And in this picture I saw a little girl about to cross the road, she was looking both ways trying to be careful, but was still afraid.  Then a person (Jesus) appeared at her side.  He said nothing only extended His nail scarred hand toward her. The little girl in turn no longer afraid, easily slipped her hand in His and He led her across the road. Instantly I knew God was speaking to my heart, that as long as I trusted in Him to lead and guide me, I would be okay.

The fear that was trying to conquer my confidence for weeks vanished and I was able to make the decisions that I needed to make   God is so faithful and I'm sure all of us have times when we can share how He has helped us. Each journey is unique, but it all comes back to this: God cares about what concerns us and He WILL help us as we TRUST in Him.

I remember as a little girl how whenever I was about to cross the road with my earthly father, how he would silently extend his hand for me to take it. He never had to even speak to or look at me to encourage me to take his hand, it was a natural gesture. Taking my earthly father's hand was automatic as a child because I knew that he would protect me and had my best interests in his heart.  So beloved, how much more does our heavenly Father wants to protect lead and guide us! It should be so easy to take His hand, and yet we allow the enemy of our lives to lie to us that we can handle and work  things out on our own. As I posted on a previous post WE NEED GOD. 



Won't you take His hand today...He's waiting..to lead and guide you on this journey of life.
"Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand."  Isaiah 41:10

Are you Looking or Seeking?

“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”   Jeremiah 29:13 Seeking…looking…what’s the difference?   According to Dictionary.com, the word “Look” means to turn your eyes towards something or to turn in some direction in order to see [a person, place or thing.]   Dicitonary.com also states that the word “seek” means to go in search or to be in quest for a certain person, place or thing. There are many scriptures in the Bible referring to and using the word “seek” when talking about God, not many about “looking” for God.   This made me begin to ponder the difference.   One example that stands out in my memory is the account about David, a shepherd at the time, and Saul who was made King.   Saul who had all the external attributes to be King was “looking” for that position, but David on the other hand just a young shepherd that spent most of his time out in the fields and hills watching sheep and praising God was “seeking” for God’s will in his life

 " Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;    and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" Philippians 4: 6-7 "BAM" is what I loudly heard as my car jolted forward! Sitting at the light waiting on it to turn to green, it was the last thing I expected to happen, never saw it coming. Yet it did...and loudly! The first thing I did was look in my rear view mirror and sure enough, it was not a dream, there was a car right on the back of me. I had about 60 seconds to get myself together, put the car in park, and though my heart was beating about 1,000 beats a minute...I said to myself "ok". To be honest with you, I didn't think to pray a long prayer, because in times like these, you really only have the time and ability to say one word "Jesus"...and for me it was enough.  A calmness came ove

Letter to my Mom...

Dear Ma, Well, another Mother’s day has rolled around; this is the 12 th one without you.   But your passing from this life to eternity seems like yesterday sometimes. I miss you so much.   And it seems that the older I get, the more I understand you…does that make sense? I passed by a mirror the other day and wow I could see you in me so much…your mannerisms and movements! If I am becoming even a fraction of the woman of grace that you are I am so thankful.   I know, I know…during my turbulent teenage years I wanted to be anything but my mother. But now Ma, I am so thankful that you hung on to me during those times. Me with my smart mouth and “always having to say the last word” self; you hung on to me, even when I’m sure I broke your heart a few times.   Thanks Ma…only a Mother’s love can do that. I can think of a lot of things I’m sorry for; like the time I missed your 50th wedding Anniversary; and the time after Dad had passed, I should have had more compassion, instead o
