Be Ready for Your Season

-
"Child," Aslan replied,"that is why all the fruits are a horror to her. That is what happens when you pluck the fruit at the wrong time in the wrong way."

 So many times we have a dream, a desire that we want really bad. Sometimes we want it so bad that we cannot wait for it to happen. In that way, we may try to rush that desire to happen, to get it before we are ready. Maybe you desperately want to buy a house, but if you don't have an emergency fund or the down payment it will turn out to be more of a nightmare than a blessing.  Maybe you desperately want that promotion, but if you had it now you would not be prepared to handle some of the pressures that go with it.  

 Timing is everything, the Great Spirit wants you to have your desires, but if you take them before you are ready, sometimes that desire can turn into a curse.  The key is to follow the steps the Creator gives us to get to our desire. There is an order, a progression that will allow you to grow into the opportunity without stress and anxiety.  So next time you try to rush to make something happen, stop, step back and listen.  See if the Creator is telling you to continue to prepare for your season rather than try to rush it. You can't rush a squash, it has to grow over time before it is ready. In the same way, you must go through the process. When you do, I believe and declare, you will step forth as pure gold into the destiny the Creator has planned for you.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY

 GREAT SPIRIT, Thank you for giving us wisdom and patience to see your path. Thank you for discernment to know what is your way. Thank you for the dreams and desires you have placed in our hearts. Thank you that one day it will come to pass.  By the Lion's Mane, Let this be so.

The True Sign of Maturity

[A Year with Aslan, Lewis, 2010] "Aslan, Aslan, dear Aslan," sobbed Lucy, "at last."     The GREAT LION rolled over on his side so that Lucy fell, half sitting and half lying between his paws. He [Aslan] bent forward and touched her nose with his tongue. His warm breath came around her. She gazed up into his large, wise face.    "Welcome, child," he said.    "Aslan," Lucy said, "you're bigger."    "That is because you are older, little one," answered he.    "Not because you are?"    "I am not. But every year you grow you will find me bigger." What does it mean to you that each year you grow, we discover the Great Lion to be bigger? A PRAYER FOR TODAY GREAT SPIRIT, thank you that each year we live you become bigger on the inside of us. Thank you that the Great Lion grows bigger and more powerful in and through us every year of our life. Thank you for giving us the wisdom to see your mysterie...

Giant Slayer

“A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before great men.” (Proverbs 18:16, NASB) TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria When people hear the story of David and Goliath, sometimes they think, “That was all God.” And yes, in a sense, it was all God; but God didn’t sling the stone. David had a role to play, too. God gave David the skill that he had to develop in order to be prepared for that defining moment. Like David, God has put skills inside of you so that you can slay the giants in your life. You have the skills that can open new doors, skills that can lead to an abundant life, but the key is that the skills have to be developed. Every day that you spend growing, learning and improving, you’re getting prepared for that new level. Today, while you’re waiting for that new opportunity, start sharpening your skills. Study your boss. Study your manager. Learn that position. Be able to step into their shoes. When God sees that you are prepared, then He can ...

You Get What You Think

“The fears ….. will be fulfilled; the hopes of the godly will be granted.” (Proverbs 10:14 NLT) Our life will always move to what we think about most, which is why it is so important to guard your mind. If you are not careful you can think about only negative things and you become a negative person. Have you ever been around that person who only has the news channel on in their house? They are always talking about how bad things are, how things just seem to be getting worse, the world is coming to an end. That person over time, if you take notice, will become a very cynical, negative person. Why? They were moving toward what they were watching and thinking about.  We also know those people who let their fears take hold of their life, “My car is going to break down this week, and I just know it”or“I knew we wouldn’t be able to go on that vacation, I just knew I would get downsized.” What happened? Your fears were fulfilled. ...
