Season of So Many Lessons

Season of So Many Lessons

Comments 0 Comment

We are well into the season of Lent…when God’s people begin looking toward the cross. The place where God’s people first realized true victory. The place where Jesus Christ defeated death so that we could all have eternal life. 

The shed blood of Jesus, made us pure in God’s sight so that He no longer sees our sin. What Jesus did forever cleansed us so that we could be reconciled back to God. I thank God for that, because even though we may not be able to see it right now, we have the promise in His word that victory belongs to us. In 2 Corinthians 2:1 it says, “But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place. Wherever we go, we carry Him with us. We don’t go to meet Him there–we actually bring Him. 

The enemy will try to lead us to believe differently, but the people of God know the truth. Everything that happens in and around us has its purpose. God designed it that way. God’s word says that His people will always triumph. No matter what happens…we will be victorious! And for that, we owe Him everything.

If nothing else, this season has taught me a lot of lessons. I have learned to rely on God in ways I never thought possible. I have learned that He will be with me through everything I go through, and He will love me even when I don’t love myself. Most importantly, I have learned that God always has a plan, that nothing ever surprises Him, and that He is always in control. 

Until next time…

Just Listen.

With the war in Ukraine, rumors of war in other parts of the world, and even the violence we are experiencing right here in the United States, we can go to God’s word to find comfort. In Proverbs 1:33 it says, “But all who listen to me will live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm.” 

If we stay close to God’s word, listen to what He says, and follow His way, He promises to give us peace. And not only to give us peace, but to comfort our minds and our spirits so that we don’t even have to live in fear of harm. Nothing can harm us. We have eternal life through Jesus Christ. That means that even if they come after our bodies…they can’t have our souls. And I know I’ve said it before, but if God made the heavens and the earth, what is it that He won’t do for those He loves? You can trust, and believe that.

Our God is so faithful. Even in those times when we fall into the enemy’s trap, and we end up doing exactly what he wants us to do. Like when he wants us to doubt our ability, or when he wants us to think that our lives have little meaning, and we begin to believe that no one wants to hear what we have to say anyway…God is there to bring us out, and to show us the truth.

The truth is that we are more than conquerors. We already have the victory. We are God’s masterpiece. His chosen ones. And the love He has for us doesn’t even depend on whether we have sense enough to receive it…He just loves us anyway. Who wouldn’t want to love a God like that? 

Until next time…

My Dream Wasn’t His Dream

My Dream Wasn’t His Dream

Looking at my life, I started wondering how I got here. Why I am who I am, and why I do, or don’t do certain things. But really what I was looking at was my physical life. Not my spiritual life. That…I have no doubts about. I noticed that my physical life didn’t quite stack up to what I had envisioned my life would be like at this point. 

I always believed that my husband and I would live our lives doing exactly what we had dreamed about. He would play music, I would write lyrics, and we would make beautiful music together. But that wasn’t God’s plan.

What I realized is that I hadn’t consulted God at all. I figured it was my dream, so He must have given it to me, right? The Bible says that He will give us the desires of our hearts. Wait. Was that really our desire, or was it my desire? I don’t know. I think I may have assumed that it was my husband’s desire. Hmmm?

Unfortunately, I will never know, because he went home to be with the Lord. But what I do know is that he loved me so much that he would have done just about anything to make me happy…even cosign a dream he didn’t dream. He was definitely my hype man…lol.

So I guess even if my life is not what I envisioned, and I don’t always do the things I should…it is still a good life. God still has a plan for me. It would be better if he were here, but I know that his spirit is with me. I feel him pushing me. Telling me to go to all of the places he wanted to take me, and to walk out all of those things I dreamed about. 

And I promise to do everything I can to make him proud.

Until next time…
