God is in the details! Think about the Temple. God cared about every detail down to the rings that held the curtains! In your life, God is in the details. Nothing happens by accident. Remember that, the next time you feel like your life is spinning out of control. God is right there working behind the scenes to bring all things together for your good.

Abraham, the father of our faith, was a godly man but he also made mistakes! One of those mistakes came when God told him that he and his wife Sarah would become parents of a child. The promised child seemed like an impossibility so Sarah set about trying to “make it happen”. Of course, WE would never do anything like that! To make a long story short, Sarah convinces Abraham that he needs to sleep with her servant, Hagar. Bad idea right from the start! Hagar has a son named Ishmael and later Sarah has a son named Isaac. Now there are two boys growing up in one household: Ishmael, the son of the flesh and Isaac, the son of the spirit (the promise of God). The flesh will always rise up against the spirit and that’s exactly what happened with Isaac and Ishmael. They were constantly fighting. Sarah has had it and gives Abraham an ultimatum: Genesis 21:10…”Get rid of that slave woman and her son. He is not going to share the inheritance with my son, Isaac. I won’t have it!” Now Abraham loved both of his boys. Genesis 21:12… But God told Abraham, “Do not be upset over…

“Some prayer, some power; more prayer, more power: much prayer, much power”. How much power do YOU want? The more you pray and grab hold of the heart of God, the more He can create miracles in your life!

Peace….there are people who would give all they had just to have peace in their life! Do you know that there is a peace that God can give you that is so amazing that no matter what is happening AROUND you, it’s not happening IN you? Chaos on the outside, peace on the inside! I love the scripture in the Bible that says “He will keep me in perfect peace when my mind is stayed (or anchored) on Him.” Believe me, whatever you go through in life, it’s not worth getting angry, fussing with your family, walking in drama, or flying mad. The next time you get an “opportunity” to blow sky high and rant and rave, remember this thought… I REFUSE to lose my peace! It’s a great feeling to get a good night’s sleep, walk with a bounce in your step, and live in a state of peace and joy! And boy does the enemy hate to see that happen. It’s his goal to make you miserable. He will “rattle your cage”, doing anything and everything to get you to react. He usually uses those closest to you to do it too…I’m talking family and friends here…or other…

Life is all about perspective. Oh, no…I have to go get groceries and gas. Thank you God, that I have the money to buy those things and that food and gas are readily available when I need them. Oh, no…I have to babysit. Thank you God, that I have grandbabies to love and that love me. Oh, no…I have to stay late at work tonight. Thank you God that you’ve always given me a job and it has been a blessing. Do YOU have the right perspective?

Here’s a word of wisdom for today! Never agree to crawl when you could soar! God has way too many “chickens” in His kingdom who keep their heads down and walk around in the barnyard! And you know as well as I do that the scenery isn’t too great down there! “Chickens” can’t seem to get above “SEE” level. And what they SEE is what they get. They are settling for so little when God has so much. I love the scripture in Psalms 3:3 that says…. “But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.” When we walk around with our heads down, our thoughts are on us and our troubles…its’ really hard to SEE beyond “OUR STUFF”. I had someone tell me something that made me think. He said that before he came to the nursing home, he had so many friends. But after he when I got there, they forgot about him. It broke my heart…What happened? Out of sight, out of mind. Our mind gets stuck on what’s happening in our little world. BUT God is looking for people who will look up and say “I…
