SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND BY MARSHA BURNS:
You can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot please all of the people all of the time. Settle that truth in your spirit when someone is in disagreement and trying to bring correction to you. You are called to be obedient to My leading, says the Lord and not to be a people pleaser.
2 Corinthians 5:9-10 Therefore we make it our aim, whether dwelling at home or whether being abroad, to be well pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
November 2, 2023. I want you to be of the “Order of the Towel”. I see My called ones walking around with a white towel folded neatly over their arm as if one serving tables. I say to you, serving is My Son’s specialty. Do you want to be like Him? Then serve. Look around you, opportunity is probably right at your doorstep. Begin to think of and serve others and your own troubles will seem to dissipate.
Mark 10:44-45 “And who ever of you should want to become first, shall be servant of all. For even the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve and to give His life a ransom for many.” Robin Robinson Bohlin
November 2, 2023. Tis the season for boasting. Many boast in their baseball teams, their football teams and some in their ability to light the neighborhood up with holiday decorations. I say unto you, are you boasting in ME? Who can do what I do? Who can change your destiny like I can? Go ahead boast of MY great love to all you see.
Romans 5:8-11 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Messiah died for us. How much more then, having now been set right by His blood, shall we be saved from God’s wrath through Him. For if, while we were yet enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved by His life. And not only that, but we also boast in God through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, through whom we have now received reconciliation.”
Jeremiah 9:23-24 “Thus says the LORD, Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom! And let not the strong man boast in his strength! And let not the rich man boast in his riches! But in this boasting let him boast! To perceive and to know Me, that I am the LORD, the One having mercy and judgment and righteousness upon the earth. For My will is in these things, says the LORD.” Budd Rodgers
