In His Presence

You are right where God wants you to be, In His presence!  Sometimes you rush to get your day started and others you lay in bed in awe of the miracle of just being able to open your eyes and breathe.

Regardless of what your day looks like, you can rest find peace knowing that Jesus always walks beside you, not only in moments of despair but as you awake and sit quietly drinking your coffee or as you take it on the road with you, He is with you always, whether we realize it or not He is right there living through your.  The Bible says "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.  Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged" Deuteronomy 31:8

He will have a random stranger speak into you and use you to speak His word into someone else, just like that! He will be your peace in times of chaos and your joy in times of despair. He will gift you a calmness  that truly surpasses even your own understanding. 

We are saved and treasured by a God that is with us every moment of the day even in those dark hours when even thinking about it fills us with shame, fear or feel unworthy of His love and mercy.  Every day we live another life lesson, but be assured the struggles you face are the rope that pulls someone else to freedom.  Your test is the testimony that will help set others free, embrace it!  When you share your testimony you break free from the enemy's plan to keep you quiet, that plan to attack your mind over and over again causing  shame and fear to paralyze you. 

Tomorrow,  be intentional when you open your eyes and say "Lord, I invite you to be with me this day, to guide me, protect me and give me the wisdom I need to own this day as I welcome you to live through me; allow me to be your eyes, hands and feet throughout the day.

It is amazing how God can take one day and transform your life if you are willing to invite Him to be the center of it.

Wasted Potential

A few months back my mom had to go to South America to take care of some things with family. Before she left she called the internet company and told them to suspend the internet because she would be out of the country and she could save about 50 dollars a month. The first month she was away she got an email from Tesla saying there was an error with the solar panels but she dismissed it. Every month for the next 5 months she received the same email.
When she got back she called them and asked what was the issue,  they said without internet or wi-fi all that energy collected from the solar panels was wasted because they couldn’t send it to the grid.

I thought about that as I felt the Holy Spirit wake me one morning saying, "look at the situation and meditate on what happened". So I started looking at the sun and the solar panels, and it came to me that the sun was God the father and God the son. We are the solar panels and the internet or wi-fi was the Holy Spirit. Then it got really deep, for five months the blessings of grace and mercy were poured onto the panels but the panels didn’t pass that on because the Holy Spirit wasn’t there.  In other words, the wi-fi is what was needed  to pass that onto the grid.

I said to myself, "wow that was deep" then I heard the Holy Spirit say "aren’t you sad about this"?  Why I asked? He said because five months of blessings were wasted simply because it was not connected . Two words came to mind, Wasted Potential. You see, if you are not passing on the things the Lord has given you, you are just like a piece of black glass on a roof with no purpose, but when you are connected to the Holy Spirit, you are to go on and fulfill the purpose you were designed for.

What potential are you wasting today by not connecting to The Holy Spirit?
