Welcome to Seek. Rest. & Trust In Him

Isolation is never the answer when you’re going through tribulation... God IS up to something good, despite how bad things may look and/or feel. Ask Him to have the Holy Spirit invade your territory to help you through it, as well as send those to pray with and for you, for growth in spiritual maturity during your walk. Psalm 73:28 says:  But it is good for me to draw near to God. I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare thy works!  You see, it's in this trying time (it being whatever circumstance you are facing now, that the enemy is trying to distract & derail you from), that you'll need to not worry about what you 'may' be able to do, but focus on what God IS able to bring you through! Sometimes, you've just got to go through, to get to, what God has for you! Now let me keep it real! At times His presence can feel so strong, & in some moments, it can feel non-existent, but trust me, If you continue to follow & see...

Let me try to set the record straight! The context of the scripture Psalm 37:4 --->  *Delight thyself in the Lord & He shall give you the desires of your heart.* Delight yourself IN HIM.... Meaning, become aligned with HIS WILL (not the other way around) & it is there where He Will move in your life in ways you'd never seen. People tend to treat this verse like a genie in a bottle (for a lack of better words), then they become disappointed. But it's because they don't truly understand that God wants us to happily follow and/or want (hence 'delight yourself in the Lord'), what He has in HIS WILL for us ('and He Will give us the desires of our heart'). You can get further confirmation of this in Matthew 6:33 ---> *Seek ye first the Kingdom of God & His righteousness, and all things shall be added unto thee.* Also meaning that YOU MUST rest, trust, depend, lean, on Him if you want to experience all the greatness He has in store for ...

I want to ask you a question... Have you ever found yourself in a 'But I Don't Want To' position, as it relates to what the Holy Spirit asks you? I don't mind being in this boat by myself, because I want to be honest more than anything. But I'm asking you in case you've been there, are there now, or if you get there, then I've done the leg work & can save you some time 😉. The other day I asked my son why he wasn't using his listening ears in class, and his answer tripped me out! He said, 'But I Don't Want To listen mommy'. I didn't know what to do, but I knew that I was driving, so there wasn't too much I could do, lol. But let me tell you where God will pluck you & make you aware of yourself, if you've allowed Him to invade your territory! I had no immediate response for my three year old son... I had to take a moment. But I eventually told him that it makes mommy & daddy sad when he doesn't use his li...

I've been known to want to rush my process... I'm sure I'm not alone, in being one who wondered why God was taking so long to move! I knew that I was praying, tithing, giving ( because those are two different things ), reading the word, going to church & often times fasting... Yet He wasn't moving. Does anyone feel what I'm saying, or am I truly alone on this one?! Then time would go by so slow, it seemed... Like slower than molasses pouring out of the jar... And things started to flourish and/or make sense. Sometimes, how I anticipated it... Most times beyond what I expected... However, more times than I can count, not at all how I expected and/or hoped for... But nonetheless, He came through. You see, His time is not our time, as it's referenced in 2 Peter 3:8 - But do not forget this one thing dear friends, a day is like a thousand years... And a thousand years is like a day! If that's not enough, find hope even in Acts 1:7 - He said to them, ...

Want to know how to be set free & stay free? Want to know how to handle ANY situation you face? Want to build & nurture a closer relationship with our Heavenly Father? Then start reading your cheat book... The Holy Bible! 😉 It's got ALL the answers on how to handle the tests we face in life.  2 Timothy 3:16-17 states All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent & equipped for every good work.  So I don't care if you open a physical book, or click on the app, Just Do It! (I mean, Just Read It!). You're missing out if you don't.  Matthew 4:4 further confirms But he answered, "It is written, '"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" Because truth be told - The way you live your life on earth is your ticket into heaven... The Holy Bible Is your passport....

So, I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only person who has wondered, 'why me'... I'm thinking that I'm also not the only one to say, 'Lord if You do this and/or get me out of this, then I'll do more of this' (you know, bargain with God). Now, I'll go a step further & say, I'm also certain that I'm not the only one who thought, 'okay Lord, You said You wouldn't give me more than I can bare, yet I'm over here: struggling, hurting, ill equipped, unsure, crying, waiting, (fill in your word/feeling here)'.  The first time I saw the above image, I instantly felt thankful & horribly ungrateful all at the same time. I felt like what have I truly done to receive greater, when He constantly keeps me. Am I spending time with Him? Am I seeking His face? Am I walking right & exuding Christ-like mannerisms? Sadly, I couldn't answer yes to those questions for 100% of the time. So I studied the boulders in the pict...
