SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND BY MARSHA BURNS:
Hold your plans loosely so that when things are not as you thought they would be, you will not suffer disappointment. I want you to flow with the moving of My Spirit, says the Lord and not according to your own thoughts and desires. This is a time of heightened spiritual awareness if you can rise above earthy concerns.
Ephesians 5:14-16 Therefore he says, Arise, O sleeping one and rise up from the dead! and the Christ shall shine upon you. Take heed then how exactly you walk! not as unwise, but as wise, buying back the time, for the days are wicked.
December 16, 2023. Fret and worry, fret and worry. I see so many fretting and worrying over what might come. I say, stay current. Don’t project into the future the “what ifs”. Today has enough trouble of its own. Stay current with issues and don’t step over into “vain imaginations”. You say “How do I do that?” Simply when a speculation comes, make your mind to change direction – think on the good…lovely…truthful things. If not, you’ll make yourself sick!
2 Corinthians 10:5 “We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,”
Matthew 6:34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”Robin Robinson Bohlin
December 16, 2023. Pay close attention to the words that I say to you. Listen, follow My exact instructions. If you do, I will direct you down a path that leads to My blessing. Pitfalls await you when you choose to ignore or disobey My Word. I want to cover, protect and provide for you, but if you move out from under My wing you have opened yourself up for defeat. Stay under My wing and in the protection it provides.
Joshua 7:3-5 “They returned to Joshua and said to him, ‘Do not let all the people go up; only about two or three thousand men need go up to Ai; do not make all the people toil up there, for they are few.’ So about three thousand men from the people went up there, but they fled from the men of Ai. The men of Ai struck down about thirty-six of their men and pursued them from the gate as far as Shebarim and struck them down on the descent, so the hearts of the people melted and became as water.” Jonas Bohlin
