Happy Sabbath
Happy New Year
I’m happy to be alive and to be blessed with a great first
week and first Sabbath for 2019.
My testimony for this first week of this new year is that
the Lord is putting me around people who are serious about Him. People who are
walking in His truth. He is also
encouraging me in my walk with Him and I must say I am much more encouraged
than I was a week ago. A week ago,
I had it made up in my mind to stay home.
I’m glad I didn’t today.
I went from one prayer ministry to another to strengthen
myself and I see that the enemy doesn’t want us to pray. So I am going to continue.
I know I posted some information about a prayer ministry
last week but I encourage you to pray about it yourselves whether it is
something you should partake of.
There are different things that occurred this week and I am talking to
God about, not yet ready to reveal those but I will at the appointed time.
I thank the Lord that I am being held accountable and being
more honest in my day to day life.
I had a busy January 1st, like none other before. I usually have my phone off for January
1st but instead, I decided to get on a prayer call with people in my
area and Florida and I must say it was a true blessing. Not only did that happen, I spoke with
several other people throughout the day and enjoyed talking to them via call or
text.
I am thankful for the Lord’s plan for me. I am thankful that He has a plan for my
son, my parents, for everyone of us.
Let’s not scrap His plans.
Let us not throw His will away this year. God is good.
I came to church to worship today and I am glad I had the
opportunity to do just that. Yes,
my son wandered around the church.
Yes he ate a cookie that likely has egg in it and he is allergic to egg
and may have to go to the hospital (he said his stomach is bothering him but I
will pray and give it time), but it was a beautiful day nonetheless.
The message today was by a sweet sister of mine who called
it The Maze. The israelies could
have been in the promised land in less than eleven days journey but due to
their lack of faith in the Lord, they ended up running around in a maze for 40
years. They saw the promised land
and despite all that God did to bring them out of Egypt, parting the waters of
the red sea, turning those very same waters to blood in the sight of pharaoh,
the first born, the water from the rock, the manna from heaven, and all the
ways God provided for them, they didn’t trust Him and wanted to send men in to
search out the land and come back with a report. Even with the report of the land being a good land and
seeing that the Lord is behind them, they decided not to go in. I don’t want to be hardheaded like
those people. I don’t want to
wander through a maze not knowing which direction to go in when Jesus can guide
me straight where I need to be in seconds. I have to examine my life for my hangups and get past
them. I have to trust in the Lord.
This year, funds are tight, short in some ways. I have abandoned my health durng 2018 and
expect consequences this year. I
have battles to fight at work for my clients when I return next week and I need
to get back into the swing of things.
I have to open my mouth and spread the gospel. I want this year to be
God driven. I want my heart to be
about the things of the Lord and not selfish and silly as I have been. I want to see my family come to
Jesus. I want to see a change with
people I interact with at work. I
want to be used by the Lord at church and in all other settings I can find
myself in.
I want to have an experience with God every day and talk
about it every week. I want others
to be encouraged to do the same and for our joy in the Lord to be increased.
We have work to do.
That is my new years resolution and I hope it is the same for you.
May your year be blessed and may we be willing daily for the
Lord and not look back.
Happy Sabbath!
