Waiting for God VS Idols

Exodus 32: 1-4, takes us to the Israelites as they are waiting for Moses to come down from the mountian and in their impatience, worry and fear they start to make a idol, a molten calf to be exact. Why would Aaron play into their fears collecting the gold allowing them to melt it down and then carve this calf? That thought only lasts a moment as I think about myself, so many times I know that God has promised to speak to me in a situation but as I wait I to begin to believe that he is not going to show up. As finances get tight and I don't see a way out I start to take control. As decisions are made that are wrong and I see no hope of change I start to take control. I build idols. I start to rely on others advice more than listening for God. I start to put my faith in money for my security. I do this everyday as I enjoy the speed of the internet, the communications of the cell phone and the satisfaction in fast food, I tend to rely on my quick fix idols than the wisdom, direction and love of my Lord. May I learn once again from the Israelites not to give into the temptation of fear, doubt, impatience and panic and wait for the Lord.

Speechless

I have been opening up my blogging site all week and then I just sit and look at the screen. As I type things they just don't sound the way that I am feeling and the verses are so personal I just can't put them on the screen. As life moves so fast and there are so many important decisions to be made I take refuge in our Lord. It is overwhelming the peace that he gives us as we discover how helpless we are without him. This verse has been my prayer as I go to sleep at night, I pray that it will speak to you as it has to me this week.

Matthew 11: 29-30, 29
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Are God is not safe, but his salvation is eternal.

Last Sunday night as I sat in church and heard that a pastor in Illinois had been killed tears filled my eyes. Church is suppose to be safe. A brother in Christ was attacked on Holy Ground and the effects of this evil became very personal. As I prayed for this family and so many others that are suffering today, I come to realization that God is not safe. Our salvation is safe in him, his love for us is forever faithful, but safety it is not on the list. Throughout history good, strong, holy brothers and sisters in Christ have been killed and are being killed for believing in our God. If believing and obeying God were a safe haven for life everyone would come, their would be no cost to our faith. As I go deeper and deeper with God this a truth is one that has scared me because I know that following the Lord, obeying his commands and going where he send me does not mean safety but it means that I trust him in whatever happens. And it is in that trust that he is wanting to grow me, yet it is that truth that stops me from obeying so many times. Our human side wants to be safe, comfortable and in control. Yet none of these things are listed in the Bible as God's priorities for us. Take a moment to really read the Bible, the prophets, the disciples their comfort and safety was not their purpose in life it was a life lived passionately in love with Jesus so that in whatever they faced they would stay faithful. This truth is one of the toughest ones for me to live out but it is a truth that disarms the enemy and makes God more powerful in my life. I must learn to trust so that obedience in this world will not be compromised by my flesh wanting to be safe in this world. Please pray for this family and church that has lost a father, a pastor and a leader may healing and peace be with come to them through this tragedy.

Matthew 10: 27-29
27What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. 28Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.

May some walls come down!

Okay so I am sitting in my class last night and the assignment is to write a 3-5 page paper concerning a job situation, your experience and then to do research to grow from this experience. Well I thought I had this all worked out and then in middle of class it is like God goes WHOMP with a new idea. So I sit there pondering, while trying to listen to the teacher, (thinking God you could have given me a little notice on this one!) and work the outline out. So as I sit there and start to outline this idea I figure out that this is a HUGE faith wall that I have up and God is trying to do some remodeling when I least expect it.

So here is the thought and I will get into this more later but maybe someone out there needs to relate to this and join me in my discovery. I have always had this mental block of how to be a missionary in a secular job, now I know this seems elementary to many but really I want to be a missionary, I want to be 100% in the mission field and God has just not called me to that and I seem to find myself in management positions in the secular world just feeling like I am missing something. So this paper is my job experience as a christian manager and what a difference it makes in job performance, team atmosphere and joy in my life. I will reflect how I use to do business without the Lord and then as the Lord drew me to him how my management styles changed and I could really see a difference on a daily level. I am excited about doing research on this paper and studing how christian men and women business leaders use their faith in the secular world and what statistics say about a christian business verse non- christian leadership.

So join me on this journey as I am sure more post are to follow and allow God to tear down some walls that will set us free for our purposes while we are here.

Colossians 3:23-24
23Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

Many blessings Lisa

We are blessed in America

I LOVE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!

• Freedom of Religion


• Free society


• Unlimited Opportunities


• Food, Homes, Jobs

I just feel like someone needs to say, I LOVE AMERICA!!! We so often get lost in life, we get sucked into the moral decline and focus only on the negative and forget how God has blessed us with this country. I just wanted to tell God today, thank you. As I find myself in this gratitude it awakens in me a passion to fight for this nation one that has become great because of our GOD and people that have been willing to fight for it. Political correctness is not on my list today.

2 Chronicles 7: 14, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

God today in this great nation you are my King, my Father and will alway be. I pray that you will revive this nation, that we will discover through your Holy Spirit repentance and gratitude for all that you have given us. I pray for our leaders that their hearts will fall in love with you that obedience to you will be their hearts pleasure, joy and desire. God be with us as we fight for your will, your heart and your face to be seen in this great nation. Glory to my Father! I love you Lisa
