In the 20 of the 80/20 Rule

Posted in God's Power, Moses, tagged on May 7, 2011| 2 Comments »

And Pharaoh’s daughter said unto [Moses’ birth mother], Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the women took the child, and nursed it. – Exodus 2:9

Moses mother was paid to nurse her own child while others were loosing theirs and living in poverty.

Even in the worst environments, the most unjust laws, and in spite of evil intents of wicked people God offers divine exceptions by faith so that we not only survive but thrive.

Prayer: Help me, Father, to not be afraid or give up hope but to look for your divine exceptions and trust your care. Amen.

Sound Bite:I shall, by God’s Grace, live and thrive in the 20 of the 80/20 rule

God’s Powerful Pinkie

Posted in God's Power, Magicians, tagged on December 15, 2010| Leave a Comment »

[T]he magicians tried to produce gnats by their secret arts, they could not … The magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” Exodus 8:18-19a

God and Pharaoh were locked in battle over freedom for the Hebrews; the magicians, the really smart ones, finally realized it was a one sided fight.

They admitted what even God’s people sometimes forget – its not God’s power they were no match for, it was just his finger.

"SHOULD" – Throw it out like an old Mattress!!

Posted in Difficulties, Explanations, Faithfulness, God's Power, God's supply, Suffering, tagged , on February 10, 2010| Leave a Comment »

The word, “SHOULD”, causes more trouble! We get in our minds what “should” happen if things were as they “should” be and it blinds us to reality!

Over the phone Technical Support tells me their instructions “SHOULD” have worked and they think they have done their job. Not!

We think God “SHOULD” insulate us from hurting and blame him when he doesn’t.

Do with “SHOULD” what Mattress Mac says do with an old lumpy mattress,“Throw it out!” and let the reality of Christ seep into your psyche:

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. — 1st Peter 4:12-13 (KJV)

Those “fiery trials” mature us and teach us God’s real faithfulness. It is easy to say God is wonderful when everything is fine, discovering God’s faithfulness in difficulty is more settling.

The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. – Psalm 9:9-10 (KJV)

I am discovering in the stressful, oppressive, times of trouble He hasn’t forsaken me but is, instead, teaching me how to put my trust in Him, and I am discovering how to let tomorrow’s threats of destruction not shake me because when those “tomorrows” have, in the past, become “today” they have always proved God’s grace was sufficient.
