Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:
You must stand firm, endure and press on. There are still mountains to climb and hurdles to jump, but I have given you the will and the ability to keep going, says the Lord. Let the truth of My Word give you the strength to overcome. Never doubt My presence in your life and circumstances. I am with you.
Psalm 18:32 It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect.
Psalm 119:105-112
Your law is a lamp unto my feet and a light to my paths. I swore by an oath and stood to guard the judgments of Your righteousness. I was humbled unto exceedingly, O lord; enliven me according to Your Word! Take pleasure indeed in the voluntary offerings of my mouth, O Lord, and teach me Your judgments! My soul is in Your hands always; and Your law I forgot not. Sinners put a snare for me; but from Your commandments I wandered not. I inherited Your testimonies into the eon; for they are a leap for joy to my heart. I leaned my heart to observe Your ordinances into the eon in remuneration.
July 30, 2024. Do what I say no matter the circumstances. If I have told you something to do, your best days will be ahead of you if you obey. You see, I know the end from the beginning. I know your “right now” and I know your “what’s going to be”. You can’t see all that I can see. I am giving you direct instructions, and of course, resistance will come. Be bold and be strong for I am with you!
Psalm 32:8 “I will bring understanding to you. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.” Robin Robinson Bohlin
July 30, 2024. Nobody likes to be in a pit. Pits are confining and non-productive except to shift your attention to the one who can get you “out” of the pit. The Lord says to you today, I can and will deliver you from the pits of life. Look to ME and call out to ME and watch what I do. Shift your focus off what you can’t do and look to ME for your deliverance. Repentance is not a one time act; it is a continuous action.
Jonah 2:2, 7-10 “Then Jonah prayed to Adonai his God from the belly of the fish, saying: ‘From my distress I cried to Adonai and He answered me. From the belly of Sheol I cried for help and You heard my voice…To the bottoms of the mountains, I went down. The earth with her bars was around me, forever! Yet You brought my life up from the Pit, Adonai my God…As my soul was fading from me, I remembered Adonai and my prayer came to You, toward Your holy Temple. Those who watch worthless empty things forsake their mercy. But I, with a voice of thanks will sacrifice to you. What I vowed; I will pay. Salvation is from Adonai.’ Then Adonai spoke to the fish and it vomited Jonah onto the dry land.” Budd Rodgers
