Good Morning, Yall!
Yep. I'm up early again! I Tend to do that alot.You know something, When I woke up, the first thing I saw was my Bible, laying open on the table just as I had left it, the night before...Just as I had been starting to leave it to REMIND MYSELF to READ IT! It's also to remind me how much I NEED IT! I got up grabbed that bible and got right to the computer, With some delay though (got a snack, typing a comment to another article). Gotta stop letting things come between me and my goal. Hmm. That is a thought worth pondering!
So when I woke up this morning, I did kneel. I didn't pray or say much, couldn't
get my thoughts or sincerity together, so I just got up off my knees and sat down. Just getting my mind prepared to do what was coming into me to do. Sometimes,
it is not good to always get up and start talking. Sometimes, it's just good to sit and collect ones' thoughts. You can't hear the "voice" of God, if you're always talking ANYWAY! I know that has happened to me! I've been "in prayer" just talking up
a storm and all of sudden, I'd 'hear' "Shh." "Be quiet now!" and sometimes it would be so bold in saying "STOP TALKING!", "Stop talking so much!" "Listen."
OK! See, this is only for believers, because to the world, this sounds crazy. But you know...It shouldn't! How many times have you or someone around you said, "Something told me...to do this or do that! " Something told me." Ok! So, What is THE SOMETHING? Depending on what you believe, it matters. Yeah sure! Sometimes it's our own voice we hear, our conscience. Other times, it is not!
You 'll know the difference! Depending on what you're being told. If it is something that will destroy you, through actions you take against yourself or someone else, then you need to question whatever is speaking to you! Perhaps, decide against following that thought! make sure you understand the consequences of whatever you choose!
Don't let your mind write a check, your butt can't cash!
Back to the thing that my bible was opened to, because of course, I read it! FAITH, was the subject. Well, my bible was still on the passage that I wrote about yesterday in my 'True Believer' column, about the size of ones faith. It is found in Matthew Chapter 17 verse 20. When Jesus was talking (Lovingly scolding and teaching ) to his disciples about why they could not heal a desperately ill child. Anyway, when
I re-read that verse this morning, then more verses surrounding it and even the footnotes, revelation was given and illumination was added to what I read! Therefore, I found myself being lead to write further on this topic for you ...AND for myself. So, in obedience to the unctioning I felt, I write this:
*By the way, I revealed to you in other articles that often times, when I'm writing,
I listen to inspirational and praise worthy gospel music.
Trin-i-tee 5 7, featuring Pastor Rudy" is playing.
The words pause me!
Verse 1
"Though the storms keep on raging in my life,
And sometimes it's hard to tell the night from day.
Still that hope that lies within... is reassured.
As I keep my eyes upon the distance shore,
I know it will lead me safely to, that blessed place he has prepared.
But if that storm don't cease, and if the winds keep on blowing in my life,
My soul has been...Anchored In, In The LORD!"
Chorus:
verse 2
I realize that sometimes in this life , we are going to be tossed....
By the waves and the current that seem so fierce, BUT in the word of God I got
an anchor and it keeps me steadfast...unmovable despite the tide,
But if the storm don't cease...And just in case the winds,
they keep blowing in my life!...
My soul, my soul, my soul..MY SOUL had been is anchored in ....
In the Lord, In the Lord. In the lord. IN THE LORD!
My soul, my soul, my soul, MY SOUL.... has been anchored in, the Lord!
My soul, My soul , My soul,
I've been through so many tough times, but God stepped in, on time.
Yes, he did! That so why we (I, Meetta) sing everyday!
Don't look at me, It's all in the skies, I know it s alright. Jesus is tied to my soul!
I know it's going to be alright.
My soul, My soul!
Lord, What a wonderful, POWERFUL, relatable SONG OF faith!
Reader, I didn't plan this. You gotta believe me!
Still, Back to the article
Matthew 17:14-20
When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him. "Lord have mercy on my son," he said. "He has seizures and is suffering greatly.
He often falls into the fire or into the water. "I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him."
"Oh unbelieving and perverse generation," Jesus replied,
"how long shall I stay with you?
How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me," Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment. Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, "Why couldn't we drive it out?"
He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith
as small as a mustard seed, you can say this to the mountain, 'Move from here to there and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
Whew! Amazing stuff reader.
Faith is not complicated. It is TO YOU, because YOU MAKE IT SO!
ThesE people had the BEST TEACHER in the ENTIRE WORLD and they STILL DOUBTED! My gosh. We don't have Jesus in the flesh anymore...At least not yet!
For the bible says he will return to earth...
Question:
What side of Faith will you be on, Reader?
My job is done....for now!
Bye, Reader, Meetta -Be "good" today.
