Of Secondary Importance

Posted in Heart, Word From Our Sponsor, tagged , on June 7, 2012| Leave a Comment »

I’m asking God for one thing,
     only one thing:
To live with him in his house
     my whole life long.
I’ll contemplate his beauty;
     I’ll study at his feet.
— Psalm 27:4 The Message


I want nothing more from you than to enjoy your company. There will be time for you to labor in My vineyard but unless it’s done from love it won’t be sustainable.

I don’t need your acts of service (I, actually, have plenty who can serve).

I need, or rather, desire your heart.

Enjoy Me and seek to sit, like Mary, at My feet.

The service part comes and goes. It’s you I want.

Push, Push, Push

Posted in Prayer, Waiting, Word From Our Sponsor, tagged on November 11, 2011| Leave a Comment »

“Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed. O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.” – Psalm 65:1-2

“Push, push, push!” doesn’t have a place in prayer. Quiet waiting works better.

You asked what Moses did on the mountain for a week when he came to meet with Me, or Elijah by the brook as the water dried up, or Jesus all night in prayer? They just waited for Me. I don’t come on cue. I call to prayer. The whole world waits for Me and My timing is always right.

Everything’s a Fight, Change That.

Posted in Jacob, Word From Our Sponsor on November 10, 2011| Leave a Comment »

You seem to approach everything as a fight or a struggle, something to overcome. “Jacob” is a good nickname for you, he was always wrestling with someone, anyone, even with Me. But that makes relationships difficult. I’m the best fighter around but it’s seldom necessary. Try realizing My ways are peaceable.

Try to not see life as a fight, take a deep breath and expect Me to do whatever fighting is required. Speak from My peace and don’t think you must have all the answers, or that your answers will make the difference in what I am accomplishing. I am the accomplisher.

I really just have you there for Me to enjoy. I enjoy your character makeup, your passion, your discovery, your “ah-ha” moments when problems turn into blessing. I enjoy your learning Me because that is the best good for you. You enjoy seeing your own precious children doing right because you know it will bring them most good, I enjoy the same.
