Good morning / Good day to you dear friends,
May I share something with you? I hope this is a blessing to you. The Lord answered me and said, “Trust me first.” You see, our son broke his arm Sunday, while ice skating. He forgot his sling today. I have tasks ahead. And, my first task always comes first as a mom, to meet the needs on my child…when they have a need that only I am assigned by God to do. I love my son; and as I prayed for the Lord’s thoughts, he said, “When are you going to learn “by faith”. You have learned, “by faith”. “Now, serve God first; and trust ME to meet Daniel’s every need.”
You see, With God by my side, I can / and will get that sling to Daniel … and right on time (God’s Time); and not only will I meet that need, but in the Lord, I have put the Lord 1st in every need he has … that even as a mother, I can’t meet, but know and believe that God has already planned for and met every need our son has. See how much God loves us – you and me; and our families!
God loves each of us, as IF we are His only Child; and still God has HIS whole heart to love each child, as IF they are His only child. We sometimes get our “caring so much” in front of the God who does so much. We can trust God.
One thing God showed me a long time ago. If I am going to tell people to trust God, I better show up trusting God to provide. And, this is a measure of my faith. Holy Spirit you are welcome here. In the Living Spirit of Jesus, the Written Word of God; and in His holy Name. Let this work be your’s / not mine.
I pray this is a blessing to you. I believe this honors God. Thank you Jesus for redirecting me. Now, I am off to school with a needed sling.
Before I leave, the Spirit of the Lord reminded me, He knows what you are going through; and He can see you through. Trust in Jesus and follow the Way. Peace is to be found; and Gospel Peace is your assurance God is well pleased. It is okay to feel uneasy; God understands! I did too while was taking the time to prioritize this. But remember something the Lord reminded me of today too: Self-Control is a Fruit of the Holy Spirit and trust in God is all we need. God is God; and HE is able. Don’t forget the benefits of Jesus … you believe. Keep believing. God will never leave you, nor forsake you; and God never fails. Bank on it! Love never fails … sin did; but Jesus overcome!
Go ahead and praise God for what He has already done! You’ll see when you get there!
Love in Christ,

God Already Knows, By Karen Rowe
“And the LORD God f o r m e d man OF the dust OF the ground, AND b r e a t h e d into his nostrils the breath OF life; AND man b e c a m e a L I V I N G soul.” … “T h e n shall the dust return TO the earth as it was: AND the spirit shall return UNTO God who gave it.”
Good morning! I hope this encourages you to be filled with the Joy that comes from the Hope we have in Christ Jesus!
David was not perfect. And yet, found favor with God. I truely love the messages God gives us in the Bible.
That purpose is the guide us to Christ Jesus, living Hope! “Can dust praise?”
Friends, our dust falls short of the glory of God, YET God is helping us grow toward Him.
God allows us to test the ground our Way. God knows the before(s) & after(s) & He won’t let those IN CHRIST go beyond a point that we can’t see the Salvation of the Lord working FOR us; Not against.
Yesterday, I noticed something that happened as I was painting trim.
Life with God is like this; as a marriage. I have grown in my painting skills with my husband; as we grow in our life skills with God, that is thru & by Jesus. Someone with more experience taught Rob & Rob teaches me.
Everytime I think, “this job will be the easy one” it has a learning curve…but I believe it’s just to get my brain in the groove!
Yesterday, was trim the easy way `off the wall. Once I got in the groove, I began to relax and enjoy my job. Stacking each window trim piece to dry in ladder steps was a new Revelation to me … do you see where this is going?
The Bible inspires new Revelations of Jesus, as we learn with God.
Robert guided me to the ladder idea. As the Holy Spirit guides us to God’s truth, and as God gives us opportunity to apply our faith to really learn.
Rob & I are helpers to each other in our marriage. TOGETHER in Christ, God always has better ideas to help us. It’s a relationship.
Then, base trim…Rob saw my line up. He said, are you that much finished? Or just getting started? Looks good and went on. Not long, I said, you already knew what I just discovered! I used up all my work space!
Robert gave me a gift by NOT telling me I was wrong, and knowing I COULD figure it out.
Holy Spirit encourage the readers today. Lift our minds higher to God’s Thoughts. Bless those who will receive. And, keep molding our hearts to be always ready to bloom for the glory of God to be a blessing to us all.
and pray …in the Spirit of the Most Holy God. God knows what He is doing.
Love in Christ,
