Take Five

I heard this said: “If Satan, our spiritual enemy, cannot make us really, really bad; he will try to make us really, really busy.” How busy are you? Most of us are convinced that the way we’re living our lives is necessary and right. We think; "this is the way we have to live! Busyness, = success, right?" We’ve bought into the lie, that to be successful in this world it’s completely necessary to run wide open 24/7. That's why what Paul wrote in Romans 12:2 is so important; "Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world."

So slow down and know. Psalm 46:10; "Be still and know that I am God."

Take five minutes a day, where you don't produce anything. Just be in God's presence, and just listen to Him. Let God speak to you.

Give God the Rudder

Many years ago I had a very wise man share with me something about following God. He said, Alan my dad shared this with me years ago. “It’s easyer for God to turn the rudder on a sailing ship than it is to untie you from the dock. So untie and let God have control of the rudder of your life.”

Maybe you are at the place where you need to let God have your rudder. Let go and trust God with your life.

I Saw God Today

A few days ago I received an e-mail from a friend in Thailand. It said, things are bad here, maybe it's time to close the doors on this mi nistry. As I prayed and listen to God, I didn't think that it was time to leave the ministry there. A few day later I received another e-mail stating that a 3000.00 donation had been made to the Door Foundation for Thailand.

If we will trust and seek God's face He will provide. I saw God today through the gift to help meet the needs of the people in Thailand. I am so glade the we didn't leave, we would have missed out on this huge blessing.
