SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by MARSHA BURNS:
My work in the lives of My people appears to be mysterious at times. But, if you ask for wisdom with a genuine desire to know, I will reveal My purposes to you in ways that you can understand. Keep in mind that I want you to search for truth as you would search for treasure. And, to do that you must be willing to dig deep, says the Lord.
Psalm 51:6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.
God is going to be a great comforter to you, so you can give His love away. Doug Addison
December 27, 2017. Thoughts have come to your mind that are not for your benefit. You don’t want to be thinking thoughts that will pull you down instead of lifting you up. Your spirit and soul should be soaring, not weighed down. Repent. Turn your mind to good things that give peace or energy. Let these kinds of thoughts fill your mind. Let thoughts of blessings toward yourself, your family, your church and everyone now fill your mind.
Philippians 4:8 (MSG) “Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious-the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.” Bev Robinson
December 27, 2017. If you have been a Christian for a long time, you have realized that the Christian life can be quirky and funny at times. Learn to smile and laugh a lot about some of the funny things you see in people every day. Remember, I am the one who made the donkey speak to Balaam. I turned plain water into the best wine. Never underestimate the joy I’ve stored up for you and will bring your way.
Psalm 126:2-3 (NLT) “We were filled with laughter, and we sang for joy. And the other nations said, “What amazing things the Lord has done for them.” Yes, the Lord has done amazing things for us! What joy!” Kevin Robinson
December 27, 2017. Don’t go around this mountain again! Do you not know that the ones I love, I discipline? My discipline is not harsh or given out of anger; My discipline causes you to line up under My blessings. Just as a good Father teaches His children, so am I teaching you in this season. Learn from your mistakes and allow them to mold you further into My perfection. Learning is pivotal for the next stage of eternity.
Revelation 3:19 (MSG) “The people I love, I call to account-prod and correct and guide so that they’ll live at their best. Up on your feet, then! About face! Run after God!” Robin Robinson Bohlin
