satan, I refuse…

Standard

I’m reading Kingdom Man:  Every Man’s Destiny, Every Woman’s Dream by Dr. Tony Evans…

What a powerful book!

Here’s what I learned from it…

satan I refuse…

To ever compare my life with anyone else’s…

To ever live beneath my purpose…

To ever think of my son as anything less than a Kingdom Man in the making…

To ever lower my standard of conduct to the world’s level..

To ever listen to enemy lies about me, or my family…

To ever let you have control of our thoughts, actions, or dreams…

To ever give up hope that my purpose is far greater than any pain to pursue it…

To ever let you convince me to give in to exhaustion…(Dr. Evans says, “Exhaustion is only a word!”)

To ever be swayed by the majority…If I’m in the minority on a matter, so be it!

To ever allow you to dethrone my ruler-JESUS!  He rules me, not you!

To ever teach “religion” without teaching about the divine authority of Christ…

To ever seek the world’s answer to problems…Only my God’s opinion matters to me…

To ever be governed by anything, or anyone…

To ever be only a fan of Jesus, but rather a devoted follower instead!

To ever be content to sit on the sidelines…but  rather, to always live to represent my King Jesus!

To ever allow anyone, or anything, to overrule God’s authority in my life…especially you!

To ever place myself under anyone’s rule, except for my Lord God’s absolute rule…

To ever lose sight of Jesus Christ’s absolute prototype for my life…I was made to reflect Him only!

To ever disobey God, my Father in any way…

To ever be out of alignment with God & His Kingdom commandments…

“Submit yourselves, then, to God.  Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

James 4:7

“Jesus turned and said to Peter, ‘Get behind me, satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.'”

Matthew 16:23

I Can’t Complain!

Standard

This was my playmate today…

He spent the day watching and waiting…

For fish from all the fishermen (my husband included!)

The boats and jet skis didn’t deter him…

And he didn’t mind having his photo taken…

Although he did have some competition…

He’s well fed and now the day is ending…

We both had a great day!  And I feel blessed!  Thanks, Lord!

Ahhhh….

Standard

This is the only thing on my schedule for today…

To sit quietly and take in God’s Sunset…

To think about my day, and dream about tomorrow…

To feel so blessed to know the Creator of this beauty…

To realize the importance of getting quiet…

And to stand in awe…

Of simple pleasures…

And of Your Majesty…

Goodnight Lord, thank you for this beautiful day…

I Don’t Even Know What Day It Is!!!

Standard

And…I don’t even care…

I’m on my “So-I-Can-Write” Vacation!!

At the Beach…

Yippee!!

Thanks for coming along with me!

I’m enjoying my new friends…

The lively show in the water…

And playing in the surf…

We’re waiting for you to catch up and join us!

Drop all your cares and baggage…

Hurry, the sun is setting…

On another peaceful day…Amen!

God’s Sky-Painting In My Backyard!!

Standard

I live on a golf course…take a walk with me in the cool of the evening to see what God is up to…

He’s very busy painting in the sky…

The colors amaze me…

I love the Palm trees silhouetted against the backdrop of the sky…

My walk is so peaceful watching God’s creativity…

The trees seem to be reaching to touch the sky…

What do you see in the clouds?

As the night settles in…

All my cares seems to drift away…

A burst of color…

Seems to light my way…

The artistry of Creation…

In the Master’s hand…

Everything is still…

I notice the glow of His work reflected in the lake…

The world sleeps…

While God paints…

And signs His Name…

With Love…

And a kiss goodnight…

Promising sweet slumber…

And peaceful rest…Amen!
