Focus...II

Hebrews 11:6

It’s impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because 

anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists

 and that he cares enough to respond to those who seek him.

God's ordinances are good and holy, but they are to be entered into 

with deep sincerity and with awareness of their true significance.

Without Faith, no one shall see God. In other words, "Without a 

tender heart and sensitive, attentive spirit, no one shall see God," 

for without these, no true Faith will ever be attained. Train your 

eye to discern that which is of true worth, and let it not escape you

See?

Matthew 9:29 (MSG)

He touched their eyes and said, “Become what you believe.” It 

happened. They saw.

God's promises are of no use to us EXCEPT when we apply and 

appropriate them by faith. In our daily walk, we will be victorious 

only to the degree that we trust in God. He can help us only as we 

ask. He will meet us at every place where we put action along with 

our prayers. Only as we WALK will the waters of adversity be 

parted for us.

Matthew 6:30-34 (MSG)

30-33 “If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I’m trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God’s giving. People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.

34 “Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes."

Do not set out to make your own plans. God has already set in motion His divine will and purpose, and He will not have us interfere.
Resign all into God's hands--your loved ones as well as your own self. Be obedient to the still small voice. Your own thoughts may speak more loudly, but wait upon God always. Don't worry about carnal things, but concern yourself first and always with spiritual values. God's promise is still: "Seek first the Kingdom of God, and all the other needful things will be added to you.

God Morning!

James 1:6-8 (MSG)

"If you don’t know what you’re doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You’ll get his help, and won’t be condescended to when you ask for it. Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who “worry their prayers” are like wind-whipped waves. Don’t think you’re going to get anything from the Master that way, adrift at sea, keeping all your options open."

Seek Wisdom...Apply you heart to learn wisdom. This goal is more important than any other, and any good that comes from a stressful situation is an added blessing. Seek God above all else.

All things are new again...do you see it?

Isaiah 33:6

Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times,

And the strength of salvation;

The fear of the Lord is His treasure.

Don't wait for an opportunity to be alone with God. Take it 

whenever you can, nothing will suffer. Stuff is of less importance 

than you think. Our time together with God is like a garden full of 

flowers. whereas the time we give to stuff is like a field of stubble.

God loves us so, lay back and rest in His embrace, feel His heart 

beat. We will receive insight that will give us sustaining strength. 

Christ bore our sins and He wants to carry our burdens also. Give 

it all to God and take His gift of a light and happy heart. For God's 

love removes all fear. We can experience resurrection life and 

peace; the joy of the Lord will be our strength.

SONday!

Proclaim it, Rejoice in it, and Live it! as today we worshiped in 

nature the 

beautiful coast range in view...O God!  What a creative artist! 

limitless beauty is Our Father  Son, and Holy Spirit!

Romans 1:16 (MSG)

It’s news I’m most proud to proclaim, this extraordinary Message 

of God’s powerful plan to rescue everyone who trusts him, starting 

with Jews and then right on to everyone else! God’s way of putting 

people right shows up in the acts of faith, confirming what 

Scripture has said all along: “The person in right standing before 

God by trusting him really lives!”

Am Samstag

Für alle unsere deutschsprachigen Schwestern und Brüder
Kolosser 2: 9-10 (MSG)
 ... Achten Sie auf die Menschen aus, die versuchen, Sie mit großen Worten und intellektuellen Doppelsprech zu blenden. Sie wollen dich ziehen weg in endlose Argumente, die es nie zu etwas. Sie verbreiten ihre Ideen durch die leeren Traditionen der Menschen und die leeren abergläubischen von Geistwesen . Aber das ist nicht der Weg Christi. Alles, was von Gott wird in ihm zum Ausdruck gebracht, so kann man ihn deutlich sehen und hören. Sie brauchen nicht ein Teleskop, ein Mikroskop oder ein Horoskop, ohne ihm die Fülle Christi, und die Leere des Universums zu realisieren. Wenn Sie zu ihm kommen, kommt die Fülle zusammen für dich auch. Seine Macht erstreckt sich über alles.

or in English  ;)

On Saturday...

Colossians 2:9-10 (MSG)

Watch out for people who try to dazzle you with big words and intellectual double-talk. They want to drag you off into endless arguments that never amount to anything. They spread their ideas through the empty traditions of human beings and the empty superstitions of spirit beings. But that’s not the way of Christ. Everything of God gets expressed in him, so you can see and hear him clearly. You don’t need a telescope, a microscope, or a horoscope to realize the fullness of Christ, and the emptiness of the universe without him. When you come to him, that fullness comes together for you, too. His power extends over everything.
