SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS:
If you wish to be treated with kindness and respect, you must first respect others and be kind. You can’t receive what you don’t give. It is time for you to look deep inside to see your motivations and attitudes for what they are. Whatever seeds you sow will be multiplied back to you. An honest assessment of your behavior will produce changes that will serve you well.
Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
February 26, 2021. There is a saying in the world that tells us if you want to prosper, you “Get what you can, can what you get and sit on the lid.” This is not My way. My kingdom is upside down to the world. To prosper, you must give of what you have. If you want to become the greatest, you must become a servant of all. My kingdom is invisible and upside down from the midst of life around you.
Luke 17:20-21 (NASB) “ Now having been questioned by the Pharisees as to when the kingdom of God was coming, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed; nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or, ‘There it is!’ For behold, the kingdom of God is in your midst.” Bev Robinson
February 26, 2021. What habit can you stop or start today? Repetitious actions create routines. Patterns are something that develop over time. Practice, practice, practice makes you proficient in something either beneficial or detrimental. There are even some habits you’re doing of which you may be completely unaware. My point is this, do your best to establish habits in the spiritual, physical and emotional realms that benefit not only you, but those with whom you interact. Establish righteous routines.
Ephesians 5:1-2 (MSG) “Watch what God does and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents. Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with Him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of Himself to us. Love like that.” Kevin Robinson
February 26, 2021. You might know the phrase “pretty is as pretty does.” These words are true because your actions reflect who you are. Do you want to change an action? Then begin to change your thoughts and beliefs, and actions will follow. You will become what you think, because even your intentions will produce actions. Your mind is that powerful because I have made it to be that way. Change your thinking and your actions will follow. Meditate on Me.
Romans 12:2 (TPT) “Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in His eyes.” Robin Robinson Bohlin
