I would love to discuss these old testament passages.  For Gideon turns for God in a blink of an eye for no apparent reason.  Then youngest living son tells this story of the trees that I can't tell if it is of pagan roots or Godly.  Please come read and let's see if we can discern the truth we are meant to see from this passage.  http://oyb2012.blogspot.com/2012/04/april-28-2012.html

Today's word again reminded me that you often use those that consider themselves of low position.  The story of fearful Gideon always touches my heart.  Then the love of Christ for Peter to let him know that he would betray him.  For more on today's reading:

God's word has amazed me yet again today. Come have a look.  Yet more importantly come have a read for yourself.  You will find strength that you did not know you had.  For God has given you all you need from the day of your salvation.  I would be richly blessed to hear of how God is speaking to you through his word this day.  For his mercies are new every morning.  Go get yours.

To see what God is speaking to my heart in His word.  Not that you would see my story but your own.  I pray this day you will take comfort and courage in His word.  If I inspire just one to find hope in the power of the presence of God found in his word I will be beyond humbly blessed.  For God's word is more than just words on the page.  It washes over us and makes us new.  What do you need made new this day?  God may not give you what you ask but he will more than supply what you need.  I was weary and beaten down this morning yet as you can see by the words of my mouth the Lord has lifted me up.  God has the same for you.

Making the Most of Life

Are you making the most of your life?  Attitude is 90% of the problem I always here.  Yet what do you do when you are light years away from that good attitude?  Can you think your way into a smile?  I have never found that to work for me.  I am more like that 2 yr old screaming over being given the WRONG color crayon.  Yet just as easily turned around by something new and amazing.  So that's my advice for today.  If you are crying over the wrong color crayon today.  Find a HEALTHY diversion that will make you smile. 

Financial Freedom

Psalm 73
2 But as for me, my feet had almost slipped;
I had nearly lost my foothold.
3 For I envied the arrogant
when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

This Psalm has some great colorful descriptions.  When I was abounding in wealth I felt entitled,  when I was financially stable and climbing I was most envious and prideful.  It has only been in my place of poverty that I have learned true contentment and dependance of the Lord.  For now prayer, a disciplined heart and discernment are my constant financial consultant.  A lesson I did not learn with much wealth.  So the next time you encounter those that are "less fortunate" remember that they may have something amazing to teach you.  For it is in our weakness that He is made strong.
