A Quiet Confidence

-
"Only in returning to me and resting in me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence will be your strength."

Many times in today's culture we feel that we must be aggressive and loud in order to be heard or seen as important. We see it in protests and in our government.  We see it in the way people try to get a head in business. That is contrary to the ways of the Great Spirit. The Great Spirit does not speak to us in a loud voice, he is not brash, no the Great Spirit comes to us in a whisper. The Great Spirit comes to us like a cool breeze, that feeling of peace that we just want to stay in forever. That is how we are supposed to be. How many times have we let our emotions get the best of us? 
The Great Spirit wants us to find our rest in Him. He wants us to have a quiet confidence that we know he knows the end from the beginning. He wants us to have a quiet confidence in our abilities, not going around bragging about it, but being an example instead. Aslan has that look of quiet confidence.  You just know that you know he is in control, he is at peace. Why? Aslan has given control to the Great Spirit because he has experienced the Great Spirit's power. Today seek to find that quiet confidence.  At the office when you are excited about something, try not to talk too much. Let other's speak, be passive and listen, but carry yourself with the assurance Great Spirit has the best for you. Know that Aslan is with you and awakening that quiet confidence on the inside of you. People will be able to see that. When people see you have a peace about you, that will be more willing to follow your vision.  Today, stay quietly focused on the task at hand and watch what the Great Spirit will do.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
GREAT SPIRIT WHOSE VOICE I HEAR IN THE WINDS, Thank you for this day, the sun, the flowers, the birds, and our health. Thank you for the quietness in our soul and our mouth that we can hear others and You. Thank you for always being our teacher, our protector, our vindicator, and our Good Good Father. 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...

“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. ...
