Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:
Quiet your soul for a moment and be grateful for the blessings in your life. This is important because there is so much evil in the world that it can be overwhelming to consider. I have not left nor forsaken you, says the Lord. Be reminded of the gift of the Holy Spirit given to you and proceed with a thankful heart.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
April 18, 2024. You have become suspicious in your thinking. You look at a person and you wonder, are they leaving; do they have ulterior motives? You do this because of past woundings and hurts. I say, live each day free from this type of thinking. Judgments will interfere with your thoughts and a dark cloud will hang over you. Stay free from vain imaginations and stay present in each moment. Think on the lovely.
Philippians 4:8 “Keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising Him always.” Robin Robinson Bohlin
April 18, 2024. The best way to see if you are walking in My love or if you are walking in My ways is to look at yourself to see how you react because of the actions or words of others. Your natural tendency is to defend yourself, yet I instruct you to not defend yourself but instead to let Me defend you. If you are defending yourself today, stop it immediately. This gives Me the opportunity to defend you and I know best how to rectify the situation.
Romans 12:17-21 “Repay no one evil for evil; give thought to what is good in the eyes of all people. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live in shalom with all people. Never take your own revenge, loved ones, but give room for God’s wrath—for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” says Adonai. Rather, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For by doing so you will heap coals of fire upon his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Budd Rodgers
