The Lord's Pattern Prevails!
Based on Psalms 63-65, Romans 6
"They encourage themselves in an evil matter: They commune of laying snares privily; They say, Who shall see them? They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: Both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep." Psalm 64:5-6
There are people out there who are deeply invested in things contrary to God's plan for them...wanting to do evil instead of good...they encourage themselves in it, they commune with each other, they search out iniquities, they accomplish things...their hearts are so deeply invested...thinking about this though, these are the things we should do for good! For God! For eternal purposes! We should encourage ourselves in The Lord by reading His Word, we should commune with Him in prayer & unite in prayer with the Body of Christ, we should seek God on a daily basis & accomplish great things for His Kingdom! Our hearts should be deeply invested in Him, because The Lord's pattern always prevails, not the ways of wickedness!
"So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: All that see them shall flee away. And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; For they shall wisely consider of his doing."
Psalm 64:8-9
Evil ways always backfire! Their patterns & ways stand no chance against our good God!
"Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God." Romans 6:12-13
Let's put that first Scripture to good use, not evil use! Let's yield to God and allow Him to work through us, being instruments of righteousness instead of falling victim to the evil things we may not even realize we are getting into!

A Moment of Silence.
As was powerfully preached this past Wednesday, "Let there be light" were the first words spoken by God in Genesis 1:3... And He wasn't necessarily speaking about a physical manifestation... But a Spiritual one. Knowing that creation Would mean redemption. It would mean... Heaven needs to touch earth... Light would need to pierce the veil of darkness... The process of creating was ongoing... All the way to the point of creating in us clean hearts (Psalm 51:10) by being born again of water &...

Focus Scripture: But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. Luke 2:19 Hello again! It's been about 4 months since I've stepped back into this space, and I have to say, I am taking very gentle steps. It's been on my heart so much to write again, but I am treading lightly. I may not post every day, unless God leads me there again...but for now, I am just moving forward in God's grace. I have some blog ideas stored up that I've been saving over time as I reflect upon His...
