Scripture Reading - Acts 16:19-31
I just love today's passage of scripture. I have been having trouble cutting and pasting the scripture text since I upgraded my Internet Explorer, so, you will have to read the passage from your Bible. I think of what my reaction would be if I were in a similar circumstance as Paul and Silas. We can learn great truths from the way they acted toward the hardship they were facing. Paul and Silas had learned to channel their focus toward the Lord and not toward the obstacle. If we could only learn to do the same. Jesus Christ is the same and deserves the same intimacy and love from us regardless of what we are facing in our lives. When we have an awareness of being in His presence we are almost in a perfect state of mind. We have trust in Him and bask in His glory to where nothing around us even matters. Jesus is what matters. He is our focus and we will never find disappointment in Him. I encourage you to direct your focus toward Him as the obstacles mount up before you. You will be strengthened buy Him and before you know it, the obstacle that was facing you will be well behind you.
Be Blessed and Live in the NOW!!!

What a blessing to see Connie in the house and when God's presence shows up, the work can't be in us but is in him. It is in truly difficult circumstances that God's power shows up and the things that burden us are lifted. More involvement than ever before.....I think that I needed that confirmation.
