Small Straws by Marsha Burns: Do the best you can with where you are and what you have, and I will do the rest. You can count on Me to bring you through unsettling times to gain the victory over all that has become a challenge to you. You belong to Me, and I take care of My own, says the Lord. Put your belief and trust in Me.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
March 21, 2025. We don’t consider the fellowship of His suffering very often but this is what the Lord impressed upon me today. “Don’t let your suffering be for naught. When others reject you, bless them. When they hate you, love them. If they take from you, give them more. I offer you the “upside down” world of the Kingdom. Suffer through the rejection to find the reward. I have called you to be different.”
Luke 6:27-31 “But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back. And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.” Robin Robinson Bohlin
March 21, 2025. Can you hear the music? There’s a symphony playing, are you listening? Just as the wind rustles through the trees, your worship moves the very heart of Heaven. I want you to experience the sounds of Heaven on the earth. Come away with Me. Let’s get lost in the rhythm of your worship. I will silence the angels just to hear you worship Me in truth. In My presence you will find every answer you need.
John 4:23-24 “It’s who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That’s the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. God is sheer being itself—Spirit. Those who worship Him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration.” Pam Jackson
March 21, 2013. (Reposted) There is more than one area which concerns you in decisions that have not yet been made. It isn’t time yet for these decisions to be finalized. Do not project yourself too often into the future because you can get quickly into the “what ifs.” There are plenty of things that you need to be doing now that will keep your time occupied. If your mind goes too often into the future you won’t apply it effectively to the present work at hand. Think enough so that you will be prepared but not enough that worry will have a chance to come in your door. Worry stands always ready to come.
Philippians 4:6-7 “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” Bev Robinson
March 21, 2013. (Reposted) The Lord wants you healthy and strong in body, soul and spirit. This is His standard for your life. It is the bar set to show your progress in Him. Jesus, God’s only Son is in you as your source for everything you do. He keeps you in step and in connection with the rest of God’s family, the church. He provides your breath. He provides every drop of blood in your veins. The breath and blood of Jesus is the secret of your power to be strong. I say unto you today, “Be strong and very courageous for I am about to give victory over the giants in your land. This is your reward for being healthy and strong.”
Ephesians 4:15-16 “God wants us to grow up, to know the whole truth and tell it in love-like Christ in everything. We take our lead from Christ, who is the source of everything we do. He keeps us in step with each other. His very breath and blood flow through us, nourishing us so that we will grow up healthy in God, robust in love.” Ras Robinson
