He Makes A Way
Life has really been bad lately and this morning things escalated with my son – his car broke down on the highway last night and he just told me about it this morning. We got into a bad argument. This is really sad since our relationship has been one of the bright spots in my life – until this morning we have been getting along great.
After a short time of thinking about how God has taught me so many domestic problems either occur or are augmented by our pride I turned to Him in prayer and it was amazing. Moments later things were better and both my son and I calmed down. I took him to his car and surprisingly it started. I followed him back to our home.
After all my sin and disobedience God is still merciful and makes a way when there seems to be no way. He is amazing!
All He Wants Is An Invitation
Genesis 32:1-2 NLT As Jacob started on his way again, angels of God came to meet him. 2 When Jacob saw them, he exclaimed, “This is God’s camp!” So he named the place Mahanaim.

We Have God's Attention – What Are We Doing With It?
Psalms 22:3 KJ2000 But you are holy, O you that inhabit the praises of Israel.
… From this study it is clear to me that God “comes down” and dwells among us while we worship Him.
In the book “Pour Down From The Skies – A Memoir of the Smithton Outpouring”, I read the following: … (Read More…)
Motivation
I think all of us tend for forget that by continuing to focus on what we are NOT willing to do does not help… We keep thinking… “I need to… ” or “I wish I would….” etc…
But if we are NOT doing it then we MUST NOT be WILLING to do it or else we would be doing it….
So we need to change our focus on WHAT WE ARE willing do do? and do that…. I am guilty of this too… I do it all the time…. I just think we can not ask ourselves enough that simple question, “What AM I willing to do?”
