It’s Been a Few Months

 Hello to all of my Blogger readers.  It has been a few months since my last blog.  I am fine. I felt I needed a little battery recharge.  And I am sure most of you have needed the same. COVID alone is enough to wear us out. Not to mention work, home life and priorities, and on and on.  

I have had on my mind lately topics for my future blogs. Regardless how they start out or end, they always have one important factor.  That is: We never walk alone.  Jesus is always with us.  He guides us and protects us.  Every day, all day. 

I never expected the recovery from breast cancer surgery to take as long as it has.  I am healed fine. But I’m very fatigued.  It doesn’t take  much to wipe me out. And that fatigue definitely affects the brain. Oh my, I take a lot of naps, and sometimes it feels like I’m walking in my sleep.  

I know anyone who has dealt with cancer or any other major illness can relate. It is difficult.  But once again, the greatest revelation is Jesus is by my side.  

So as I prepare for my next blog, I pray for you all that you feel recharged. Let Jesus pour His Holy Spirit over you.  Feel the drenching of His love all over you. Amen

In The Shadow of His Wings!

 Have you ever seen an eagle with its wings spread out fully? Close up, in person? This majestic bird is massive, amazing, beautiful, powerful, breathtaking.  The wings span across to cover us in their shadows. This beautiful creature God created always amazes us when we see it.  Think about that. There aren’t too many other birds that bring us that amazement. 

God tells us in His Word that we are covered in the shadow of His wings. 

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand].”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91:1‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Think about that, if we can be covered in the shadow of the wings of an eagle, how many are covered in the shadow of our Almighty God?  I will tell you, the whole earth.  God’s arms span around this whole globe. And this whole universe that He alone created.  

God knew we would endure troubled times. He knew we would face trials and tribulations.  He knew some of us would face and endure illnesses.  But above all of that, He knows we can be comforted, protected, and sheltered by His love for us. 

These are troubled times we are living in. A global pandemic, violence in every country, and the list goes on.  But God has not left us helpless. We have His Word. We have His Holy Spirit. And we can have wisdom, knowledge, and discernment from Him. Now more than ever we need to be in His Word, we need to pray and ask God to help us through these times. We must dwell in His presence.  

I pray for you all that you feel the comfort of God watching over you. He loves us all.  

Are we eating the food set before us?

 When we were babies we relied on our parents to feed us. As we grew, the goal was to become more independent and feed ourselves with what was provided. We began to grow and become even more independent and began to provide for ourselves. And we then ate what we provided for ourselves.And so we then raised our own children to do the same.

The same is true for taking what the Lord has given us, taking it in, digesting it, and let it nourish us and strengthen us. This is what the Word of God is to us. Spiritual food. God's own food for us. 

This never stops. When we are babes in our Christian walk, we rely on Bible teachings, Sunday sermons, teachers, study helps to feed us and nurture us. To make us grow and become stronger. Then we begin to grow and mature in the Word of God. We read the Scriptures and the Holy Spirit speaks to us. We have a greater understanding of God's Word. We use His word in every aspect of our life. 

Then we get lazy. We expect God to hand feed us again. We wait for the spoon to touch our lips. And guess what? We become weak and frail. We lose our concentration. We don't read the Word like we should. Then we are hungry again.

Do we really think this is what God had in mind for us, His children? I don't think so. He wants us to be mature, understand His Word. He wants to speak to us directly. He expects us to grow up and reach out and take those morsels on our own. He has provided them for us. He has placed them out in front of us. All we have to do is reach out and take them.

I honestly do not think any of us intentionally become lazy. I think we just let the business of life, our everyday duties get in the way. We have His Holy Spirit with us to poke us and prod us. Those gentle reminders. 

I encourage you all, faithful readers, reach out. The Lord has placed that food in front of us.Take it, it is yours. And it will make you strong, it will encourage you. 

Matthew 4:4

 But He answered, “It is written:

Man must not live on bread alone
but on every word that comes
from the mouth of God.”
