Good Morning Lord Day 16



 Today I will choose to trust you rather than fear the very real things there are to fear in this fallen world.

This past weekend I got to fulfill a long time dream. And the most amazing part of this whole thing was the fact that I let go of my fears and put my trust in God.

When I opened my devotional up to today’s page I couldn’t help but laugh. I see you God! 

So ask yourself a few questions. 

What dreams has God placed in your heart that you have struggled to hit the go button on? Don’t tell me he hasn’t placed a dream in your heart, because the God I know created each and every one of us here for a purpose. Have you been like me and found yourself doubting your ability to fulfill those dreams? What if you really trusted God and let go of what ever fears that get in the way?

There are so many distractions in the world that will paralyze us and keep us from doing the things that we should be doing. The one thing this pandemic has taught me is that in the blink of an eye your entire life can change. Things can happen that are out of our control. How we adapt to change could mean the difference between life or death. 

Today's lesson left us with so many questions and so much more to think about. I can only speak for myself and what I have learned in the last few months is that when I let “self” get out of the way God blows my mind.

Today I want to thank God for being that mighty force in my life! For allowing me to see HOPE. And for guiding me along this journey we called life even when I go kicking and screaming. LOL


Don’t forget to read Psalms 27:1

Day 3

Day 3 Today I Will Follow Jesus Man this one hit home for me. Because I feel like I’ve been dealing with some tough stuff for the last few years and I almost let those things pull me away from God. And pull me away from my purpose.  How have you felt during the tough times? Did you draw nearer to God or did you feel like you were out there all alone? I can so relate to what Sheila said about faith. How she felt sometimes as if it was her lack of faith that kept her from having a good life. When the reality is that our faith is not so much about what we bring to the table, but us relying on God to take care of things even when we don’t understand it, even when it doesn’t make sense and even when it doesn’t seem to be going so well. And the statement at the end when she says what did I do wrong and the answer she got back was... you have done everything wrong but I love you anyway!  That’s unconditional love! When have you been shown unconditiona...

Good Morning Lord Day 17

Good morning Lord Day: Today I will, by your grace, be aware, of when I’m tempted to take the easy out or take a situation into my own hands and, by either, turn away from you. Page 40 What happens when we take matters into our own hands? I can’t speak for you but I know for me that when I try to do it all on my own I stumble and fall every time. I have been trying to be more intentional about seeking God out before making big decisions but I will admit I still struggle with including him in the day to day! Anyone else have this issue? A great way to nip that in the bud is starting out the day asking for Gods guidance. Reading your devotional (even if you are way ahead of the host lol). Repeat after me: when I take things into my own hands I lose the opportunity to allow God to work in my behalf. (I actually substituted “lose” with the possibility of forfeiting a blessing from God, because let’s face facts there are occasions when God blesses us even when we think we are leavi...

Good Morning Lord Day 14

Day 14 Today I will savor the fact that I am your daughter, a princess in the family of the King of kings! Page 32 I see a theme forming from this devotional! As I read today’s lesson I kept hearing...you are fearfully and wonderfully made! What each of the ladies in the Bible have in common (other than the fact they are woman) is the fact that they had struggles, hard times, fears, and dreams just as we all do. But in the end they did not let those struggles keep them down. For anyone who says that woman are not an important part of the Bible or that they are portrayed as less then, must not have got the message I get from this passage. I now that in Gods eyes I am special and in fact I am a child (princess) of a king! Bit not just any king. I am a child of the Most High King! And as his daughters, we are important to him! But as Sheila stated many times, we are so busy looking behind rather than ahead that we miss the most important lesson. We are his workmanship ...
