Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:
Refuse to worry about people and things that you have no responsibility for or control over. You have enough to attend to where you do have authority without reaching beyond your rightful limits. Release yourself from any liability that is not rightfully yours and stay within the limitations of what you are in charge of.
1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another; and indeed you do so toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, that you increase more and more; that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to do your own things and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.
Micah 6
Hear indeed what the LORD said! Rise up, plead with the mountains and let the hills hear your voice! Hear, O mountains, the judgment of the LORD and O ravines, foundations of the earth! For there is a case with the LORD against His people; and with Israel He will plead. O My people, what did I to you, or how did I trouble you? Answer Me. For I led you out of the land of Egypt; and from out of the house of slavery I ransomed you. And I sent out before your face Moses and Aaron and Miriam. O My people, remember indeed what Balak king of Moab planned against you! and what Balaam son of Beor answered to him, from the rushes unto Gilgal, so that the righteousness of the LORD should be known. By what means should I overtake the LORD? Shall I take hold of my God the highest? Shall I overtake Him with a whole burnt-offering, with calves of a year old, no. Shall the LORD favorably receive a thousand rams, or myriads of hearty winter yearlings, no. Shall I give my first-born for my sin offering, no, the fruit of my belly for impiety of my soul, no. He explained to you, O man, what is good or what the LORD requires from you; but only to execute equity and to love mercy and to be prepared to go with your God. The voice of the LORD shall be called upon in the city and He shall deliver ones fearing His name. Hear, O tribe! and who shall adorn the city? Is there not fire and the house of the lawless one treasuring up treasures of lawless deeds and with unrighteous insolence? Shall the lawless one be justified by a yoke balance scale, or by a bag of deceitful weights, of which they filled their riches of impiety and the ones dwelling it spoke lies and their tongue was exalted in their mouth, no. And I tormented you for extinction on account of your sins. You shall eat and in no way be filled up. And I shall banish you to yourself and you shall be forsaken and in no way should you be preserved; and as many as should be preserved shall be delivered up unto the broadsword. You shall sow, but you shall not reap; you shall compress the olive, but in no way should you anoint with olive oil; and wine and in no way shall you drink; and the laws of My people shall be obliterated. For you kept the ordinances of Omri and all the works of the house of Ahab. And you went by their plans, so that I should deliver you unto extinction and the ones dwelling her for a hissing; and you shall receive scorn of peoples.

Here it is, I am the Creator and I’m very creative. I speak differently to different people. Open your spiritual ears and you will experience all that I have for you. I Am Who I Am.
Exodus 3:14 “And God said to Moses, I Am Who I Am and What I Am and I Will Be What I Will Be; and He said, You shall say this to the Israelites: I Am has sent me to you!” Robin Robinson Bohlin
May 16, 2024. Religious folks tend to make bad decisions. Although their hearts are wanting to please Me, their priorities tend to show that the rules are more important than the Ruler and that godly principles are more important than godly people. When you are making decisions concerning others, ask this question: Are you freeing people to live or putting people in bondage with your religion? Purpose today in your heart that you will set people free with your words and your love.
Matthew 12:1-2 “At that time on the Sabbaths Yeshua (Jesus) went through the corn fields. His disciples became hungry and began to pluck heads of corn and eat them. But when the Pharisees saw this, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is not permitted on Shabbat (the Sabbath)”. Budd Rodgers
