Today, I want to talk to you about Life and Changes that happen in everyone’s life. We all have a destiny I believe and you were created to have passion in your life for something! All of us have passion for security, but we will never find security in the things we own or possess in this life. We have to allow our faith and what we are passionate about, drive us!
Foundation is so important. In the Bible, it talks about the foolish man who built his house upon the sand. The winds came with great force and his house was unable to stand. Then there was the wise man who built his house upon a rock. The winds came and blew with great force and his house stood. We all want our “HOUSE“, meaning our security, our faith, our stability, our health, and our businesses to stand! Yet in this thing called “Life,” many winds come and blow with a great fury and seem to try us to the very limit. We must build strong foundations to stand!
Who in this world doesn’t long for the “perfect” life?
Let’s imagine! Our business is awesome, we have “perfect children,” our health is so good, the Dr. wants to publish us in a “Health Magazine,” we have so much money in the bank, we will never have to work again, Everyone treats us with dignity, no one has ever hurt us or ever will, we drive the most amazing cars and there are no hospitals, because no one ever gets hurt or needs them! We have the perfect marriage! We live in the most beautiful climate in the world! Our energy level is so great, we don’t need sleep. We will never loose a husband, friend, or child to death. We are so secure in who we are. We have all the strength we need to make decisions that are important and we never make a wrong call!
The problem is, we do not live in a perfect world. I am sure some of the above things are going good in your life and I am just as sure that some of the above mentioned things are just “not happening” in your life. We are here in an imperfect world and yet we are meant to make it and make it with our dignity still in tact! How can that happen? By building your life on a “Firm Foundation.” Jesus came that we might live life abundantly and he is a “Firm Foundation,” you can put your trust in.
So many decisions we have to make in this life are so much bigger than we are! It takes faith to make it on this journey called “Life.” Faith is the evidence of things not seen and the substance of things hoped for. Now let’s break that down! Lets say you have a big situation you are facing. Your mind automatically starts to draw out a picture of what you will expect to get from the situation. This is evidence and substance that you see through your eyes. The problem is, we need to be in control of the artist pen, that is drawing the picture! Let’s face it, we live in a negative world and we have to choose to put a positive picture in place of the negative one. We take the pen into our own hands and ask what the positive picture is in regard to our situation and then we began to draw a new picture! That picture is called “HOPE.” That is what “Faith” is and with Faith, we can move mountains.
Look to a heavenly Father who loves you and knows every pathway before you. Ask him which pathway to take, then take your pen and write it down in your heart and on paper. Choose to believe in the best outcome! Can worry and fretting change your situation? No, only moving in a positive solution towards a victorious ending!
My niece and I took a long 12 hour trip to see her Dad and Mom. She has 3 children who were with us about 11:00 at night when all of a sudden, it seemed we had a tire going down. We pulled off the highway and we did have a problem. Immediately my niece prayed and asked God to not let anyone stop who didn’t need to be there. I was on my cell looking for a number to call when behind us there was a car that pulled up. It was a local policeman who got out to ask if we needed help. I put the phone up and got out to access the situation with him. Our 4 year old, Lexi was very afraid of “Policemen.” The temperatures had dropped and it was freezing outside. We attempted to get to the spare, only to realize the lock was on it and we didn’t have a key! The nice policeman went into town to get an air pump to get us to town. I got back in the car and by this time there were tears of fear with Lexi. Dezarae and Matthew were also afraid. It was then that I could teach them a lesson of life God had taught me. I told the children, that we had a flat, but God knew where we were and he would take care of us. I told them he had sent the policeman to help us and then told them also, God knew that for some reason, we needed to stop. Maybe down the road we would have had a wreck or something bad was going to happen. God knew so he stopped us and then he sent the nice policeman to help us! By the time the policeman got back, Lexi couldn’t stop asking him questions! To our surprise, he aired the tire up and it went right back down. It had had an inside blow out. We now had to cut the lock, in order to get to the spare so he went back into town again and tried to wake his town tire repairman up. He came back and said they didn’t answer him. The next thing we knew, he was on his phone and here comes a tire repair truck with two men in it. The men got out in freezing temperatures and had everything they needed to cut the lock, fix the tire and get us ready to go! The men got out in freezing temperatures and had everything they needed to cut the lock, fix the tire and get us ready to go! I got out to give them a cash payment. They refused it. We thanked them and I got back into the car. My niece remarked that the policeman looked like a man she knew. When we got to our destination and went to church on Sunday, we walked into the church with a man greeting us at the door. She whispered in my ear, that the man who greeted us was the man she was talking about who looked like the policeman who helped us. I was amazed because he did look like him. Now the Bible says we are to beware that we may be entertaining “Angels Unaware!” Could it be that God sent his Angels out in the middle of nowhere in the freezing Texas Panhandle to help us? We think so! Angels can take on human likeness when they have a mission to complete. Yes he cares for us that much! He will be faithful to those who are faithful and exercise their faith! Now if these men were not “Heavenly Angels,” they certainly were on a mission for a heavenly father and I consider they could have been “Earthly Angels.”
In conclusion, I am now away on a trip with my husband due to a work change. Away from many of the perks like phones, good internet etc. I am enjoying every minute of it and it is a time of sanctity for me! I will be able to write, seek God’s guidance and make new friends. Life is an adventure as long as you are riding in the car with the “Master Driver!” Be an achiever today and overcome all of the intrusions in your life. You have the power to Achieve! My internet came through today so I could get this message out to you! God Bless!
