Work At Resting

Today’s message from God Calling – A. J. Russell, bids us to come unto Him; and to stay with Him. The Lord’s presence, you see, is our Sabbath rest. The Sabbath is holy to the LORD/Lord; and that holiness surrounds us as we rest in Him.

It is in the resting in the presence of the LORD/Lord, that power comes to us. “My strength is made perfect in your weakness.” (2 Cor. 12:9) “…in quietness and trust is your strength.” (Isaiah 30:15) My life changed completely, when I learned to just walk in that rest. I learned to stay there at all costs. No, things still don’t always go right; yes, I still get angry, frustrated, upset, etc. But, I can, and do, go right back into that rest immediately, or asap, when I do lose it. It’s a matter of working at it, until we get it so right the devil can’t pull us out anymore. It’s just like that seventy times seven forgiveness thing – in other words, “do it until it comes naturally to you.”

Happy Birthday, my love! My first baby girl is celebrating her 40th birthday today. May your day be blessed with all the love, joy, laughter, and beautiful memories your heart can hold…and then some. And may I tell you, you are my “and them some!” Love you!

Love you from Cafe du Mondieu

The Roots Must Keep Growing Deeper

Happy Memorial Day, One and All!  May your day be beautiful, and blessed with precious memories.

Today’s message from God Calling – A.J. Russell, reminds us that we must continue to dig deep into the things of God-His Word, Encouragement in the Spirit, People places and things that build up and strengthen faith and spirit, etc.  Keeping faith and spirit strong is crucial to a child of God.  This ensures that we are rooted and grounded firmly in Christ Jesus.  It is vital to empowering us to continue to walk as His children and serve as ministers of His gospel in this world.  You can’t bless others if you, yourself have nothing.  Life in this world drains a spirit of real life, of power.  If we aren’t rooted and grounded firmly, we’ll tire, wither, and even give up.  God doesn’t want to lose a single soul; so we can’t give up.  We only have a little further to go.  When I read this message, I think of Jesus praying alone in Gethsemane.  “Couldn’t you watch with me for one hour,” He asked the disciples who had fallen asleep.
