SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND BY MARSHA BURNS: 

Settle yourself and take control of your wandering mind. Focus your attention on what is instead of what might be. Otherwise, you will waste time on things that will never happen. Live each moment in the confidence that I am as close as your breath and all you have to do is ask what you will and I will answer, says the Lord. 

Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

December 7, 2023. Do you not know or have you not heard it – that I will give you the desires of your heart? When you earnestly seek Me, the greater things will come. Then why do you continue to confess your lack, or think on the lesser things? Set your mind on following, pursuing, chasing after Me and watch your world change. I am the prize and you will be the winner!

Psalm 37:4 “Revel in the LORD! that He should give to you the requests of your heart.”  Robin Robinson Bohlin

December 7, 2023. 90 years and 9 months ago as of yesterday’s date, the President of the United States of America said these words, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself – nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyses needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.” I heard the Lord say very clearly, “Do not FEAR for I AM with you.” If you are in fear today, then you have NOT obeyed God. He says, “Do not fear.” Regardless of where you are walking, be it the “shadow of death” or some other imposing giant in your life, ALWAYS acknowledge the presence of God, so fear can leave you. 

Psalm 23:4 “For if even I should go in the midst of the shadow of death, I shall not be afraid of evils, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.”

Psalm 56:3-4 “I do not fear the day and I shall hope upon You. In God I will praise by my words. Upon God I hoped. I shall not fear what flesh shall do to me.” Budd Rodgers
