Your Gift Makes Room
You can often tell a God calling by a sheer, and unexpected, surprise. At some point, the gift begins to stir, and it shows itself. You may not be the first to even recognize it, but others will.
Patience, Grasshopper
There once was a grasshopper pining away
Wondering when God would save the day
When pain and grief rolled in like waves
“When would it surely all go away?”
The Balancing Scales
While we were in worship practice, I began to see a balancing scale. It was tipped heavier on one side. The Lord began to show me He was about to balance the scales of justice.
Make Them a King
It must have been a sad state of affairs for Samuel to see his sons not walking in the ways of the Lord. The scriptures say, “They turned aside after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice.” (1 Samuel 8:3)
The Road Called Lost
There was a road called “Lost”
Which I traveled at great cost
With crooked streets and no road signs
When all seemed to be left behind.
The Sorrowing Spirit
Your pain is embedded so deep that your cries to the Lord can’t even be heard by onlookers. Your voice has been stifled and the anguish has kept you silent to the outside world.
Tension
There is tension in the atmosphere as you step into that new thing. The war can be felt, and often it feels as if your body has been beaten after a grand victory. The pushback of Hell as you move into the new territory is tangible, and the devil is hoping it will be too much for you to stay the course.
The Changing of a Season
On my walk today the wind was warm yet cool enough to stay for a while. It precariously blew every lovely weed, flower, and tree as if to make the statement, “It is the changing of a season.”
Discarded
Jesus wept too because hearts were divided and what was meant to be long-lasting, divine gifts from Heaven were robbed in an instant by the devil.
You Can’t Hide
Some of you have been hiding for so long that you can’t even remember why. Hiding from others, hiding from Jesus, hiding from the possibility of pain, and hiding from yourself.
