Are you facing an uncertainty or can't clearly see what's ahead on your path?

By kinda being in that spot at the present moment myself, I was so glad to come across a couple of verses in the book of Acts that has a terminology that I'm seeing for the first time after all these years. (14:26 & 15:40) They mentioned being committed to the Grace of God or entrusting themselves to the Lord's Grace. 

"....where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work they had now completed." Acts 14:26 

"Paul chose Silas, and as he left, the believers entrusted him to the Lord’s gracious care. Acts 15:40 

 

What does this mean exactly? It means that WHATEVER is in front of you right now, you are convinced or at least very hopeful, that God's Grace is going to cover it. (insert mustard seed here..)

Whether it's a situation or a need, we are supposed to keep moving forward as we can. In a way, you resign yourself to the success of it. Let me say that again, "you resign yourself to the success of it".

Some people simplify it by calling it Faith. Trusting that God has THIS under control and you should not worry or stress about it beyond a fleeting thought. I heard somebody once say that when things get tough in your mind and it starts to panic, the best thing you can do is call out  "Grace, Grace, Grace"! (a The most biblical definition of Grace that I have ever heard is; "The empowering presence of God, enabling you to do what you are supposed to do and be the person you are supposed to be")!!!

John 1:14 backs that up by saying that Jesus was full of Grace and Truth.

Remind yourself constantly of the availability of God’s overwhelming Grace. Even if you have to say it 50 times a day!

"For I am overwhelmed and you alone know the way I should turn"   Ps. 142:3

God’s got you and God’s got this. Isn’t it great to have Him as our God??!!

Going in circles?? Trapped in an unhealthy Lifestyle?

  The Frustrating Merry-go-round of a Compromised Life   Got an unhealthy pattern in your life that is bringing you down or to ruin and want out? Here's the answer you are wanting, but may not be looking for.....   Let me give you an example from my personal merry-go-round. Present and past. I confess, I am overweight, and I know it is because of the choices I make when it comes to food. When I look at my appearance, it brings depression and when I get depressed, I eat. Hence, I gain more weight, and I am more depressed.  At times, it feels like a merry-go-round that I am chained to and I can't get off, no matter how desperately I want to. There are many other various merry-go-rounds out there other than gluttony.  Of course, there is alcohol, and it's red-headed stepchild, drugs.( definitely not a dig at redheads! I love them). There is also gambling, pornography, stealing, infidelity, lust, greed and all different kinds of traps.   One way or a...

THE 2 CHOICES THAT WE ALL HAVE

-

  CHOOSE WISELY, WHILE YOU STILL HAVE A CHOICE!   Everyone must choose one of two pains. There is no avoiding it. The pain of discipline, or the pain of regret. The choice is yours. Discipline: "the ability to pursue what one believes is right, despite temptations to abandon it." Folly: "lack of good sense or normal prudence and foresight." The pig who built his house out of brick made a choice which required discipline because of the skill and time required to build it.  The pig who build his out of sticks made his choice, the easy way out, and wound up with only regret. (and homeless...) When you build your house on the rock of Christ Jesus, it takes discipline. Lots of it!  And if you build your house on the sand, you will reap regret, because the storms are guaranteed to come against both houses.  Give a listen to Big Tent Revival's song "2 sets of Jones's" for clarity.

TAKE UP WHAT CROSS??

  What Jesus was really saying in Luke 9:23 There is so much misunderstanding, fallacy, and false teaching of this scripture;    "You must deny yourself, take up your cross daily and follow me."  When Jesus was telling this to the disciples, He had not gone to the Cross yet, neither had he been physically carrying one around.  So, since He ALWAYS leads by example, what was He carrying around Daily?  His purpose. And His purpose was to be The Messiah on the cross. Yes, the physical cross was in his path, but that was ONE day out of his 33 years of living, and after that one day, he was done with the material of the cross! He lives even today, still fulfilling His purpose.   This is the same thing that he wants from us.  As we willingly and purposely walk with him in discipleship, we learn more and more of what our individual calling is as He guides our hearts (to will and to do). Philipians 2:13   I've never met anybody who has said...
