Right On Time

"Be still before the Great Spirit, and wait for him. Don’t get upset when someone gets ahead."


We all have those seasons when something is taking longer than we would like it to. You have been working so hard for years to get out of debt. You have been disciplined, lived on a budget, worked for extra money. You have been working at that business and you are grateful for what you have, but it just has not taken off yet. Maybe you are still single and you are at that point of giving up. Sometimes things take longer than we would like. Too often we want everything to happen right away. Sometimes thought when we rush things into happening on our time table, we get stressed out and things do not fall into place as smooth. When we end up rushing something to happen, one of the reasons we may be stressed out is we were not ready for it to happen.  That is where we come back to that place of peace. There was a king who lived in Israel who was known for sometimes wanting to do things before he was ready. The Great Spirit was doing a work in him though and this king learned a lesson, be still. Clear your mind of any negative thoughts about why you are not getting ahead. He learned he needs to run his race and allow the Great Spirit to line things up. When we are patient we are being our best each day, focused on the day at hand, living in the moment and letting Great Spirit work out the details. When we do that, we are rising higher. We are showing the Great Spirit we trust his timing and not ours. I have heard it said patience is the greatest virtue. It may not be easy right now, but do not worry when other people seem to be moving faster than you. That is just a test to see if you are going to be still and run your race. Great Spirit is lining things up for you today.  Be still.  When you do you will move into a new level of your destiny. His timing is perfect and one thing we can know, no matter how long something takes in our time, when we achieve that goal we will have gotten there right on time. 

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
GREAT SPIRIT, WHOSE VOICE I HEAR IN THE WINDS, thank you for your presence. Thank you that you teach us to be still, to be mindful, to be aware of the daily moment. Thank you that we are able to release any judgments about how long we are in a situation. Thank you for your favor, your timing, and your connections.  We love you and praise you today. 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. ...
