September 30th Daily Reflection

Staying in the present because the fear of the future and the regets of the past are given up to the Lord! Oh what a glorious space to be when we can enact our faith and live for today knowing that the Lord is taking care of the future and our concerns about it is worthless. This is a daily struggle that I have, staying in the present and not becoming overly concerned about how the future will be.

Having a love affair with the Lord while remembering that he is not my equal but my protector is an interest place to be because we normally think of love affairs between equals. However, the love affair with the Lord is a different kind, it a love affair that helps us learn to love more deeply, more openly and more unconditionally. Using that love to move thru this world in a peaceful manner is the ultimate place to be. Taking all out thoughts, desires, fears to him so that we can renew our confidences that we are always safe!

September 27th Daily Reflection

Relaxing in the arms of the Lord - for a very long time I always thought that I could only relax if I accomplished something great so I would work really hard and try to accomplish great. However, it never seems that I was able to ever accomplish anything great so I never able to really relax. However, since renewing my relationship with the Lord, I realize that by relaxing I can and do accomplish great things. So today's devotion was appropriate because last night I truly relaxed and found this morning to be going so much better.

are you relaxing in the arms of the Lord?

September 26th Daily Reflection

Have not been blogging for a few days because I have been out trying to live the life that the Lord instructs us to live - loving others even when I would rather not.

Today's devotion reminds us that doing is not the only way to be, at times simply sitting and listening to the Lord is just as powerful and helpful. Listening to remove your troubles, listening to renew your soul, listening to learn, listening to be as close as possible to the Lord.

September 21st Daily Reflection

Waiting instead of forging ahead, keeping quite instead of getting all of the answers, being close to the Lord instead of worrying about how others will view you, going to the Lord instead of trying to solve all problems, all instructions to choose the Lord over anything else. Always choosing the Lord over everything else is the best way to navigate life on earth and staying on the path of getting closer to the Lord. A constant struggle....

how are you dealing with your struggle of staying close to the Lord?

September 20th Daily Reflection

Today's devotion is timely as I struggle to deal with some issues that I believe are petty and re-enforces my stance that they are petty and thus do not require much energy. As I read the devotion, I realize that it is okay for me to believe them petty and move on, returning to the Lord for guidance on bigger things in my life. And for most big issues in my life, I have found that simply being with the Lord provides insight and solutions that I would never have reached by myself. Today's devotion is a great re-enforcement of the path I have chosen.
