Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:
It is good to take a day off from all of your busyness, but it is not good to become lazy and to do nothing day after day, allowing laziness to become a habit. Examine your life to see what needs to be done to come into order, and then you must take the first step and every step after that to succeed. You will not regret it.
Proverbs 13:4 The soul of the lazy man desires, and has nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.

I want you to open your heart to both. I am a good Father, and just like a good earthly father, I comfort, bring peace, discipline and encourage repentance. Course corrections can feel harsh or like punishment but I never punish – I discipline those I love.
Revelation 3:19 “Those whom I [dearly and tenderly] love, I tell their faults and convict and convince and reprove and chasten [I discipline and instruct them]. So be enthusiastic and in earnest and burning with zeal and repent [changing your mind and attitude].” Robin Robinson Bohlin

For this reason, you can become double-minded about your identity and purpose in life. Perhaps you need to simply humble yourself and yield to Me, for I chose you. Who knows better than Me about My favor? Your mercy and compassion are from Me, through Me and in Me.
Romans 9:15 “For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.'” Ras Robinson
November 14, 2013. (Reposted) The planning and much of the work has been done. Don’t get under the challenges. Yes, there is still work to do but you are on the track and soon it will be accomplished. Just stay in the flow. You are under authority, and filled with My Spirit. It will all come about as you have prayed, planned, assigned and worked. You will get some rest afterward and feel a tremendous blessing of accomplishment. I said in Scripture, some plant and some water, but it is I who give the increase.
1 Corinthians 3:7-9 “It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow. The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work. For we are both God’s workers. And you are God’s field. You are God’s building.” Bev Robinson
November 14, 2014. (Reposted) Someone is in a great storm right now. You wonder how you can escape. Every idea you have about overcoming the storm seems hopeless. You know Jesus is with you, but you know He is so at peace that He is asleep. You wonder if He even cares for you. The truth is that He wants you to awaken Him because of this great storm you are experiencing. He wants you to tell Him about your storm. No one cares for you like Jesus. Show your belief by simply asking Him to save you. He will.
Matthew 8:24-26 “And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep. And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing!” He *said to them, “Why are you afraid, you men of little belief?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm.” Ras Robinson
