When the Lord Gives you bread.....

Isaiah 30:20-21
Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”
2 Corinthians 4:17


For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
When we are plagued by a persistent problem--one that goes on and on--view it as a rich opportunity. An ongoing problem is like a tutor who is always by our side. The learning possibilities are limited only by our willingness to be teachable. In Faith, thank God for our problem. Ask Him to open our eyes and our heart to all that He is accomplishing through this difficulty. Once we have become grateful for a problem, it loses its power to drag us down. On the contrary, our thankful attitude will lift us up into heavenly places with God. From this perspective our difficulty can be seen as a slight, temporary distress that is producing for us a transcendent Glory never to cease!

Some nuggets....or nibblets....Taste and see!



Maybe comparing God's Word to a preformed meat like substance is not ...quite right ;) ...but in the sense of little bites....Chew on these today and speak it in your mouth as we "speak" it to those God puts in our sphere of influence...Taste and See!




Psalm 40:4
Blessed is the one
who trusts in the Lord,
who does not look to the proud,
to those who turn aside to false gods.

Psalm 56:3-4
When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
In God, whose word I praise—
in God I trust and am not afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?

Psalm 62:8
Trust in him at all times, you people;
pour out your hearts to him,
for God is our refuge.

Isaiah 26:3-4
You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in you.
Trust in the Lord forever,
for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal

And a great reminder to say " I trust God,I am not afraid"
Rock and Roll y'all!

A little Intermezzo....

Just to keep focus  and to remind us all that we are followers of the great Role Model Jesus!
From something my wife reminded me of....

" I've never seen myself as a leader though. This morning I 
was reading Romans and these verses jumped out at me. I 
don't have to be a leader... just a good follower of Jesus!!

Love from the center of who you are; don’t fake it. Run for 

dear life from evil; hold on for dear life to good. Be good 

friends who love deeply; practice playing second fiddle.

Don’t burn out; keep yourselves fueled and aflame. Be alert

 servants of the Master, cheerfully expectant. Don’t quit in 

hard times; pray all the harder. "  Thats Romans 12 9 - 13

Amen 


Chew on this for awhile and let the Word the true food get 

into your heart and mind...

"Roll" model...

God Morning Saints...Yes thats you all!...what a great Word this morning...
Psalm 18:30(AMP)
As for God, His way is perfect! The word of the Lord is tested and tried; He is a shield to all those who take refuge and put their trust in Him.


I apologize for yesterday as I went in for a medical procedure and was pretty much sedated all day ;) Thank you all for the prayer and continued prayer that this procedure "takes" I know it is God Will, and because He cares so much for us so much He gives us all we need as He heals through Miracles, Prayer , a touch from His Holy Spirit Followers and ...yes Doctors...that they ALL may know Him in the co-healing they practice...Doctors do call it a practice don't they? So as they practice we know when they find God in what they do they will be more accomplished.


And that we are a way for them to experience Him by our faith and trust..as the Word shared The Word of the Lord is Tested and Tried! Once again reminded to lift you all up and all those who come in contact with Christian Chefs International and the Christian Culinary Academy. Be encouraged that you are being prayed for daily and there is no better "thing" we can do for each other! How strong we can all be...as humans we marvel at the ant a creature ( creation) they are said to carry 50 times their body weight and as a record her is a pic of one lifting 100 times its body weight as posted in a Science Magazine..."The photo shows an Asian weaver ant hanging upside down on a glass-like surface and holding a 500mg weight in its jaws.


It was captured by Dr Thomas Endlein of Zoology department at the University of Cambridge who was investigating the sticky feet of ants and other insects."







But as strong as these creations God created one stronger! Through our Lord Jesus Christ we can lift up a world! We can lift up amazing things like healings, deliverance, and even resurrection! Since Jesus His followers have prayed and God has brought back the dead to life...Wow! There is Power in the Blood! There is wonder working power in the Blood...if yu need a toe tapping tune to carry you through check this one out ...Many of you know I do like Bluegrass...so be ready ..to receive that wonder working power...Victory is ours and the price has been paid...

Taste and See....Devo 3

...While we wait upon the Lord...like waiting for dinner..full of expectation and anticipation...thought you would enjoy this little Amuse'..for the palate that yearns for more of Him and to taste Jesus'  food...

Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents. Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that. Ephesians 5 1-2 MSG

Although for cooks and Food service folk this is not a three day weekend  know we pray for you all daily and pray that you all enjoy this Freedom weekend...and the day when we were made free..and Free indeed...to Love like that...
Rock and Roll!

Salad Course devo2





Now that you have tasted let us…Hey!  Lettuce!  Sounds like a salad course with a Holy Spirit dressing….Mange!

Romans 14:17
for the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. 

Paul wrote that meaning that God never intended for us to sit in judgement against others over matters of eating and drinking, or going to church on Sunday, or a host of other things all designed to divide us from one another.
Jesus brought the royal, ruling power of God into our world to make things right, not religious. Righteousness means set right with God and man. The immediate result of righteousness is always peace; for we are no longer striving to control one another into doing something the way we suppose it should be done. And the result of peace, is always joy — the happiness of healed relationships…..

Taste and see...Devo Ap


First course the appetizer  enjoy this plate of 3...

Psalm 63:2
I have seen you in the sanctuary

and beheld your power and your glory.


2 Corinthians 5:7
For we live by faith, not by sight.

John 11:40
Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”

Miracles are not always visible to the naked eye, but those who live by faith can see them clearly. Living by faith, rather than sight enables us to see God's Glory.
Just believe, and listen and look and taste and see and share ...release that Glory...think about that with Jesus in our hearts...it is a matter of releasing Him...Letting Him go...Like God's Word never returning void ...rest assured  Jesus will "return"  we are not throwing away we are letting go ...releasing Glory!  And its coming back  ;)    
Get ready to receive!

Are you ready?
