Slow Down And Listen To The Birds Sing!

We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father.


I was rushing through the house this morning trying to get my son to “hurry up” so we could get to school on time. He was taking his time, just enjoying the day. Meanwhile, I was getting frustrated and aggravated that he was taking his time. I told him to get into the truck and he stopped to listen to the birds sing! So I got in the truck and beeped the horn, which startled him and put him in a bad mood. (I had just interrupted his carefree day!) Then when we pulled around the corner, I politely stopped to let a lady pull out in front of us and she just stood still. So I said, “Come on lady, make a decision!” From the back seat, my six year old son piped in, “Mommy, she’s waiting for an invitation.” Obviously he had been listening to me every day!
So often we want everyone around us to be just like us and do things just like we do them in the time frame that we are doing it. If we are busy, we want everyone else to be busy. If we are cleaning, we want our spouse to clean too. When we think no one is being sensitive to our needs, we “blow-up!”
God showed me His grace is sufficient for me today. He also reminded me to pray for understanding and compassion towards the people in my life and that He would enlighten the eyes of my understanding so I would have the grace to be compassionate toward their personality instead of becoming impatient and angry with them.
Instead of beeping the horn, I could have just as easily said to my son in a sweet, calm voice, “Honey, its Thursday. We can make time on Saturday to listen to the birds sing.” Then I could have smiled at the lady in traffic and waved my hand to let her know I was waiting for her to pull in front of us instead of expecting her to automatically understand what I was doing. So I asked for forgiveness and we prayed.
God’s grace will always give us understanding and compassion regarding what other people are dealing with and most of all remind us that nothing we are facing is ever as bad as it first seems.

Are You Worried About Your Future?

Is man or God your source of income?

And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 AMP.

I remember a sudden thought of fear when the first set of bills (that my ex-husband usually took care of) came in. At the time I was 5 months pregnant, working two jobs, caring for my 88-year-old mother and living in a small apartment that I had to move out from as soon as possible. My boss’ wife generously let me borrow her car because the one I owned needed a new engine. With less than $5,000 in the bank, I had no idea how I would make ends meet, not to mention where I would live or what I would drive. One day while driving around the neighborhood looking for a place to rent and out of the blue I said, “I will not pay $1200 per month to rent someone’s remodeled garage!”

I read in the Bible that morning, 2 Timothy 1:7, For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. So if God hadn’t given me a spirit of fear, it must have come from Satan and I new I didn’t want it. So I stood on God’s Word and confessed it out of my mouth even though it looked like nothing was happening.

One very important thing I learned was to keep tithing. (Tithing is giving the first 10 percent of the gross of your income to a ministry that is feeding your faith and saving souls.) I didn’t know it at the time but those consistent financial seeds were my protection and provision money for my future.
Now a few short years later, as I continue to honor God by obeying His Word to tithe, He keeps opening the windows of Heaven and pouring me out blessings every day.

Remember, God has a million ways to get a million dollars into your hands- you only need one! By the way, not long after that, I purchased a beautiful home that doubled in value in a few short years later!

Meditate on: Proverbs 8:10, Malachi 3:10-12, Phillipians 4:19, 1 Timothy 6:17-18

Confession For Today: I will not have fear about my future or the future of my children because God promises in His Word to take care of us. I will give of my time, talent and money because God is my source, not man. I will have more than enough to meet my needs because God is my provider. I will not buy things I don’t need. I will stay out of debt. I will stop speaking about my problems and speak to my problems with God’s Word. God loves me and He promises in His Word to take care of me and I believe Him.

Prayer For Today: Heavenly Father, please help me to walk by faith and not by sight today. Give me ideas and witty inventions to bring in several streams of income even when I sleep. When the blessings pour in, remind me to tell everyone about your goodness.
In Jesus name Amen.

Take Action: Consistently tithe and give offerings to God starting NOW.

Many Blessings to you in 2009!
