The Pudding Lecture … Keep Believing! By Karen Rowe

Good Evening Dear Readers,
Apple Blossoms are in my mind tonight, perhaps as a preview of in the morning’s devotion?  Only God knows, but I did believe it is good to share this with you today.  All glory to God; and I hope this is a blessing to you; and someone you may know.
As an intro:  When I was a child, making chocolate pudding was special to me!  I loved to make it, and I really loved to eat it!  I even used a special pan!   But, I can remember that the process seemed so long for the pudding to come to that first sign of a boil!  This is the strength in today’s message:  Patience is our strength, and the reward comes after the wait.  God knows the desires of our heart; and they are good and worth the wait!  How do we get there?  Well, as you read the Devotion of Today, I hope your personal thoughts that come from the Lord flood your mind with God’s personal inspiration!
I hope this stirs up some Praise and Thanks Giving to God, in your spirit heart, for something you may have just needed a little nudge to remember hope & have patience as you wait.  Only God knows.  Peace and Joy are a wonderful assurance.  Isn’t God good to simply encourage us, that once we choose hope, all things become possible through Christ! Of course all things are possible; but not all things are permissible, & that is why we read get to know; and study God’s Word.
Isn’t that wonderful!  Our HOPE is a person; and His Name is Jesus.  He is a wonderful friend to come to and get to know.
I hope this is a blessing to you!  With a tired mind, I feel like not sharing this.  But by faith, God can reveal Jesus through the simplest of things.  I hope you see the love of Jesus in this writing and hear His voice speak to you.  If you we get this, we will never be the same!

The Pudding Lecture; Keep Believing!
My son told his friend, “Ask mom for the “Pudding Lecture.” And he snickered; I am sure. Because, the Lord gave it, but the young man who 1st heard it, didn’t get it. All week, he kept telling my son, I don’t even like chocolate pudding.Yet, the Lord has a tremendous message in this Pudding Lecture!

Young people, if we get this we will never be the same!

Have you ever seen someone so close to what their heart desires, but because they give up too soon, they never get to taste the result, which is the Blessing?

This is the Pudding Lecture. God puts the good desire on your heart, but the world offers a instant fix, which is the imitation & never as good. God thru Jesus has offered the eternal grace to us!

Life Decisions are choices, like it is a choice to cook pudding. Are you prepared to wait? The first time or two you make pudding, what is the 1st thing you need to do? Read the directions on tbe box! Life also comes with “Basic-Instructions-Before-Leaving-Earth.” Yes, those instructions spell Bible.

Then you choose HOPE! If you believe the instructions & desire the result, you will add your faith to open it up, pour it in & begin to stir TO … Yes WAIT & EXPECT that chocolate milk to TRANSFORM into pudding!

Open up the Bible: pudding is a blessing; like life is a gift! Life requires adversity to get to the Blessing, so does pudding require just the right amount of heat!

Then what? We did all the directions said? Right? Have you stirred it by your faith? And experienced the POWER in PATIENCE?

Life Is a gift from God SET before us, BY Grace THROUGH Christ Jesus! Blessings, exceedingly & abundantly ARE ALSO SET before us. These are the gifts of Grace.

BUT what are you going to get if you give up too soon? ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE UP ON GOD? Or, will you CHOOSE to believe, FOLLOW instructions, STIR what pleases God & HAVE PATIENCE; as you expectantly wait…

Something is happening:
A blessing is a gift from God that is received by us with Praise and Thanks Giving!

Soon enough, if you keep stirring by faith, & keep in step with the directions, you will experience that chocolate milk turn into the pudding you hope for!

PATIENCE & HOPE

 

 

TILL NEXT TIME!

Till next time!  “Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

The address in the Bible is found in 2 Corinthians 1:2, and this is the NIV today.

 

LOVE IN CHRIST,

Meet Karen: Hi, I am blessed, by God's good grace and because I know Jesus, I am blessed. I choose to be blessed, because I have a choice set before me and I refuse to look down. I trust God and I know and believe in the love God has for us. I have overcome difficulties; and I am blessed by the grace of God alone. If I have written about it, then I have felt the pain of it in some way, and to some degree. Did you know that Jesus has felt your pain? This is why I write. By God's grace I can identify; and tell you honestly, yes there is hope in anything and everything that you are facing today! Jesus is our Hope! He is the Truth, the Way and the Life. I am married a wonderful man, Robert Rowe; I love my husband and he loves me; and we have been married for 28 years. Together, we have been blessed with a wonderful daughter, named Amanda who is college now; and a wonderful son, named Daniel who is growing up well and soon to graduate elementary school. We work together and by God's grace we run our own business called PSI. We have a pastor over our ministry and over our business and also we depend on him for advise in our family. We have 2 dogs, 4 horses, 2 cats and love to spend time outdoors by the water and by campfires ... that is it seems when we can find time away from life's busy schedule. I love to write because it helps me learn more about God. And, I am driven by a passion from a love that God has put in my heart to share from my experiences and struggles, as I gain understanding in God’s Word to know how effective and powerful God is over our every situation! I share with you so you can know that you are not alone in your struggles. The same God who helps me and my family, is your help and shield as well! Life is not always easy, but it is possible –I like to share the difference that following Jesus makes in my life. And, I love to share God's patience and mercy and love that is with me! I am not perfect, but am experiencing God sanctify me through and through with every mistake I make; and yes, overcome in Christ! Life is not just about the successes; life on this earth is also about the troubles we overcome to discover what God has hidden in our faith to find! Troubles are more a challenge to grow in our faith ... It is not easy, but in the end the grace of God we discover is worth experiencing God in the midst. By Grace, I have discovered Jesus is Peace and He is my Joy and Wisdom from Heaven. God is our Provider and Healer and Creator, who is our help and shield over all things. By grace, I have experienced a nearness to God through my faith in His Son! We are well forgiven by God; and well blessed when we know and believe the love that God has for us. To say, "all is well with my soul" is a powerful knowledge to understand and experience. I sense God's desire for you to know His love for you and how deep His love for you is that He has SO loved you; God gave you His Son. God loves you right now just as you are! There is so much to learn! I believe that as we learn from God, we are God’s gift to each other. It is all God’s story –and for His glory; and God has SO loved us. I love to paint the vision that God has given me about a Father’s love –that God wants you to dream again and visualize His love for you! In God’s eyes, there’s more to life than we see; and in a world that sometimes misrepresents and misunderstands God and love; God wants you to have the courage to dream His dream and see His vision of a Father’s love for you! Many years ago, I prayed to God, “How can I tell a million people what I know about Your Son?” God showed me I had a gift of a ministry about God's Love; and He called it Hope in Today! I write to please God and I write to encourage you; and I write to spend quiet time with God. All because of this love that God has first shown me! I need Jesus –and my life is about my relationship with God. And, every blessing begins with Him! Love in Christ, Karen Rowe, Director Hope in Today Ministries, Inc.
