We Cannot Posses Something Unless We See It as a Possibility

I have been thinking alot about what it takes to grab hold of what we know God is showing us.  If I am going to learn the best place to start is conversing with God.  He will use His word to open my mind.  Looking back at Abraham, Noah, David, Josepeh, Paul, Peter and many others, we cannot mistake that they saw something and they heard something from God. 

Do we believe that God wants to show us things?  Do we believe that God desires to tell us things?  If we do not, then it is not a possibility.  We would discount anything as coming from another source.  We cannot posses if it is not possible.  God promises us that all the things He said were possible  - ARE POSSIBLE.

I pray that we be healed where there be any unbelief.  I pray that God is glorified by all our efforts even the weakest of them.

With the Love of Christ,
Candace

Building of Today

If it is my word,
   it is to be today through all known time.
No doubt shall change what is,
   what is known is what shall be.
Faith is believing all,
   knowing what shall come will pass.
Those who are my own,
   are standing sure on what is firming under feet.
Reality is tomorrow,
   not moments fading away.
Yesterday built today,
   the tomorrow which fades away.
In what do you know of this reality,
   you so claim to understand?
A mind that I created,
   with limits of a man.
The known is not among those:
   who lavish on themselves,
   to squander and belittle,
   the majesty of His will.

Sing From My Heart Your Great Wisdom

Psalm 50:15 "Call on me in times of trouble, I will rescue you, and you will honor me."

Good Morning Father!

I thank you for this day. For your mercy which starts it and your grace that gets me through.

I praise you, your design is complete. Each moment you saw beforehand, each opportunity in its place, the knowledge of your will extended, the opportunity available and within our reach.

I ask for your understanding, to wait till I feel your peace, to be lifted as I see the formation and the joy to propel your perfect speed.

Sing from my heart your great wisdom; dazzle us all with your will. Propel us into your timing, your pathway perfectly laid. Raise us up this morning, together to claim your ways; all of us with one motive, an offering to our King.

Today help us remember, as we focus on His calling and plea: Life is for the living, death only part of this life; it is not the final position...only the collision between earth bound and our heavenly flight.

I pray for the angels that are charging, to be felt when the pressure is on, for all the intercessions of your righteousness, to pour heavily and ease the strife. For at the right moment, you hear us, and at the perfect moment you came. We all are bound in your victory; Hallelujah to our risen Lord.

God is Almighty in the Highest; His kingdom reaches and fills all things. Not bound to just the heavens, but now released to set the captives free.  Selah

In Christ,
Candace

Psalm 50
A Psalm by Asaph

The Lord, the only true God, has spoken.
he has summoned the earth from where the sun rises to where it sets.
God shines from Zion, the perfection of beauty.
Our God will come and will not remain silent.
A devouring fire is in front of him and a raging storm around him.
He summons heaven and earth to judge his people;
"Gather around me, my godly people who have mane a pledge to me through sacrifices."
The heavens announce his righteousness because God is the judge.    Selah
"Listen, my people, and I will speak.
Listen, Israel, and I will testify against you:  I am God, your God!
I am not criticizing you for your sacrifices or burnt offerings, which are always in front of me.
[But] I will not accept [another] young bull from your household or a single male goat from your pens.
Every creature in the forest, [even] the cattle on a thousand hills, is mine.
If I were hungry, I would not tell you, because the world  and all that it contains are mine.
Do I eat the meat of bulls or drink the gloos of goats?
Bring [your] thanks to God as a sacrifice, and keep your vows to the Most High.
Call on me in times of trouble.
I will rescue you, and you will honor me."
But God says to wicked people,  "How dare you quote my decrees and mouth my promises!
You hate disicpline, you toss my words behind you.
When you see a thief you want to make friends with him.
You keep company with people who commit adultery.
You let your mouth say anything evil.
Your tongue plans deceit.
You sit and talk against your own brother.
You slander your own mother's son.
When you did these things, I remained silent.
[That}made you think I was like you.
I will argue my point with you and lay it all out for you to see.
Consider this, you people who forget God.
Otherwise, I will tear you to pieces, and there will be no one left to rescue you.
Who offers thanks as a sacrifice honors me.
I will let everyone who continues in my way see the salvation that comes from God."

He is the Craftsman and We are His Tool

Cooperation

I can remember several times when I have been trying to get a task completed and I have to use some "handy-dandy" tool. If I did not have the tool, such as this great laser alignment gizmo my brother in law got my husband one year, it would have taken me over an hour to hang pictures. Another time I had a flat and if I had not had the jack as well as the wrench / lug nut apparatus I would not have been able to change my tire. Someone with upper body strength as a passenger would have been an asset at the time, but non the less I had what I needed to be able to get the job done.

Today I was listening to a sermon and heard the minister say the word COOPERATE. It hit me...we are God's tool. Will we cooperate with him? God is in control, will we allow Him to perform a function : exert power or influence through us, or will we miss out? God is wielding a series of operations 24/7, will he be able to use us? God follows a course of conduct this is often irregular to our world. He told us His ways are higher than our ways. He said that they ways to a fool seem right. Let's not be a fool....let's be a tool!

I pray that Today, we all feel His hand, His strength, His skill around us, supporting us and enabling us to co-operate through our day working His projects and getting His results.

Praise be to God and all glory in the Highest, Christ is Risen Indeed,
With Love,
Candace

I hope you enjoy reflecting on this poem - it helped me understand how this all applies to me. I hope you find the same.

A Tool in His Shed

I did create you. You were perfectly planned,
With the mouth of a lion, protective and strong,
And the beauty of a butterfly with flight set on a path.
The experience of deliverance, and truth, held you tight,
It’s bound around your waist and written on your heart.
Your help is through me and now you can boast,
Compassion is felt due to turbulence known.
Though the weight of the journey could have crushed your frail wings
Not one hair was harmed so give thanks to my mighty hand.
Color enhanced and beauty increased,
Mercy and freedom is what your voice beams.
Courage of the lion, fierce protection of my truth,
So tender to the protected, gaining strength to move on.
To stand firm in their own rights, which is my kingdom and their home,
Move swiftly and gracefully and with precision and skill,
All who are before you will shrink to your force,
Of Godspeed and confidence, of my vision in your eye,
My voice in your ear deflects all other sounds,
Your mission is my will, my salvation to the lost,
With purpose and a plan made before you were even born.
You are in my hand, a tool I am to use,
Your strength from my arm…your place where I put,
I turn, when needed, with precise push and pull.
You are to stop when I do not move,
My hand is fitting… my touch you know.
No other were you made for, casting my part,
To others you are useless and to fit would be so obviously forced.
Relax in my presence, all pressure removed,
Simple and perfect… a job done with ease.
I am not worried, so why do you need?
Confidence, my lovely, for your place is with me.
I am your shield, your vision, your way,
Just listen and follow, all through your days.
