A Moment with God

It's Your Choice

2013-04-29T07:24:00.002-05:00

Choose today whom you will serve . . .

Though you used to be slaves to sin, you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness. Romans 6:17,18 NIV

We have a choice everyday.

We can choose to obey our flesh, listen to those inner doubts, question our faith, and live in fear, or . . .

We can give ourselves fully to God, listen to His still small voice, trust His Word, and live in peace.

It's your choice.

As for me, I will serve the Lord.

Many Blessings,

Peace in the Stillness

2013-04-28T07:45:00.003-05:00

Be still, and know that I am God!"

Psalm 46:10

Dread, worry, fear, anxiety . . .

Those little voices whisper in the silence and our hearts begin to race. We occupy our hands and minds with busyness and the voices subside, but in the stillness they return, louder than before.

God desires for us to find peace in the stillness. He doesn't want us to run from task to task to keep the voices at bay; that only brings a temporary peace. Instead, God wants us to sit quietly and hear Him say to our raging storm, "Peace, be still."

Find peace in the stillness today . . .

Many Blessings,

The Greater Need

2013-04-11T09:17:00.000-05:00

When Jesus returned to Capernaum several days later, the news spread quickly that he was back home. Soon the house where he was staying was so packed with visitors that there was no more room, even outside the door. While he was preaching God’s word to them, four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn’t bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “My child, your sins are forgiven.” Mark 2:1-5 NLT

Why did these four men go through all this trouble to get their friend to Jesus? It was because he had a need. Everyone could see he had a need. This man was paralyzed and he needed to be able to walk. Jesus looked at this man and saw a need too . . .

Jesus didn't immediately say to the man, "Stand up, pick up your mat, and go home." The first thing Jesus said to him was, "My child, your sins are forgiven." The Bible says the teacher's of the law were upset with this response, but how do you think the man or his friends must have felt? They came to Jesus for physical healing but Jesus was more interested in something else.

Jesus saw the greater need. He knew this man needed to be saved, to receive eternal life. The people were focused on his legs, but Jesus was concerned about his heart.

Jesus always sees our greater need. We come to Him with a perception of our true need, but He sees to the heart of the matter. Jesus is concerned about our physical well being and promises to meet our needs, but He understands that nothing is more important that having our hearts right with Him.

"And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?"

Matthew 16:26 NLT

Many blessings,

Giving Up First Place

2013-01-28T10:00:00.000-06:00

We like to be first; first in line, the first one to be picked, to come in first place . . .
In our culture, being first is what's most important.

Listen to the world and you will hear the message: "Greatness consists of how many you lead." Listen to God's voice and you will hear just the opposite: "Greatness consists of how many you serve." They can't both be right.

You can push to the head of the line and receive the world's applause. Or you can give up your place in line and hear God's "well done." (NIV Once-A-Day Walk With Jesus Devotional)

But many who are the greatest now will be least important then,

and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then.

Matthew 19:30 NLT

Many blessings,

But Have Not Love . . .

2013-01-22T08:00:00.000-06:00

For the commandments say, “You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not covet.” These—and other such commandments—are summed up in this one commandment: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Romans 13:9 NLT

Do not murder
Don't steal
You must not commit adultery
Don't lie
You must not covet

I think the church has it backwards. We focus on the things the Bible says not to do instead of concentrating on what Jesus said we should do. We condemn, criticize, and judge those who break the Ten Commandments, but forget about love. Is it enough to obey without love?

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 NIV

Jesus told us the first and greatest commandment is to love God with everything in us and the second greatest commandment is to love others Matthew 22:38:39 If we were to focus on loving first wouldn't we be more likely to obey?

Just something to think about . . .

Many Blessings,

Facing Pharaoh

2012-10-08T09:28:00.001-05:00

Life is full of surprises, twists, and ups and downs. It seems like just when we think we have things figured out and the road is smooth something else pops up.

Joseph experienced many of those those highs and lows. He was his father's favored son, but was despised by his brothers who sold him into slavery. In Egypt, Joseph was put in charge of Potiphar's household, then falsely accused by his wife, and thrown in prison. Finally we see the road level out as Joseph is made a ruler of the land, second only to Pharaoh himself. His father Jacob, and the rest of his family move to Egypt to be near Joseph and escape the famine; a total of 70 people, the beginning of the Israelite nation. The Israelites were fruitful and multiplied greatly. God was blessing them and life was good.

Then a new king, who did not know about Joseph, came to power in Egypt. Exodus 1:8 NIV

The Egyptians began to oppress the Israelites. They made their lives bitter with hard labor and with all kinds of work in the fields. (vs.14) The blessings seemed to come to an end as the trials began.

This is an important truth to remember: For every mountaintop there is a valley; behind every blessing from God is an enemy who wants to see us fail.

It was during this time of persecution by the Egyptians that Moses was born. According to the king's edict, Moses was supposed to die at birth, but God had other plans.

Years passed, and the king of Egypt died, but the Israelites continued to be oppressed. They cried out for help, and their cry rose up to God. (Exodus 2:23) And God sent Moses . . .

Maybe you feel like you can relate to the Israelites. God had promised to bring them out of Egypt (Genesis 15:16, 46:3-4), but the people had been waiting a long time for that promise to be kept. Have you been crying out to God, but help seems slow in coming? Are you stuck in a situation that seems hopeless?

Or maybe you relate more to Moses. God told Moses to speak to Pharaoh; "Let My people go!" But God also told Moses that He would harden Pharaoh's heart, and the king would refuse. Can you relate to being asked to do something you weren't comfortable doing, knowing that you wouldn't be successful?

Does it feel like God is slow in keeping His promises?

Do you feel like you've moved from one desperate situation (famine in the land of Canaan) to another (slavery in Egypt)?

This post begins a series entitled Facing Pharaoh. I hope you'll join me on this journey as we begin our own personal exodus.

Whatever My Lot

2012-09-21T08:18:00.002-05:00

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

(It is Well with My Soul, Horatio G. Spafford)

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.

I do not give to you as the world gives.

Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

John 14:27 NIV

The Voice of Truth

2012-09-20T07:35:00.000-05:00

My head can be a very noisy place. At any one time there seems to be a million thoughts running through my brain and voices are calling out for my attention.

One of those voices is so loud. I don't have any problem hearing what it says.
You're alone . . .
No one cares . . .
You've failed once again . . .
It's hopeless . . .
Your life is a mess . . .
You can't be forgiven this time . . .
God has given up on you . . .

But there's also another voice trying to get my attention. This voice is much softer, but it has a more positive message:
You're loved . . .
You're forgiven . . .
There is hope . . .
You're never alone . . .
You're worth it . . .
It will all be ok . . .
I'm holding you . . .

One voice speaks loudly, but it's message is division, destruction, and death. The other voice is softer, but it's message is life, hope, joy, and peace.

“Be still, and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10

God's words are strong and powerful but He often chooses to speak in the softest voice. He wants us to be still so that we can clearly hear His heart.

Which voice will you listen to today?

I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth.

Pick Me! Pick Me!

2012-09-18T13:51:00.000-05:00

I feel really lonely sometimes.

God has blessed me with some really wonderful friends, but at times I still feel all alone. When I really need to talk to someone it seems like everyone is busy, has their own problems, or just can't give me the answers I need.

Pick me!!! Pick me!!!

Remember in grade school when the teacher would ask a question that everyone knew the answer to? All the little hands would go up saying, "Pick me, pick me!" I feel like God is saying that to me. At those times when I feel scared and desperately need someone, God raises His Mighty Hand and cries out, "Pick Me!"

God has a burning desire for us to be completely dependent on Him. He longs to be our Source, our Friend, our Strength, our Ever Present Help in time of trouble . . . the One we turn to first in every situation.

When life gets you down and you need someone to pick you up, who do you turn to? Jesus has His hand outstretched saying, "Pick me...."

Spinning Wheels

2012-09-05T07:39:00.001-05:00

Has your car ever been stuck in the mud?

Tires spinning, but no matter how hard you try, you can't get out; your wheels just sink deeper and deeper. It seems hopeless until someone comes along with a chain and tractor and pulls you out......

Have your thoughts even been stuck in the mud?

You sit and dwell on all the "what ifs" and negatives in your life. Those thoughts begin to spin out of control and soon you are stuck in a cycle of worry, fear, and doubt. You feel weighed down by life and everything looks hopeless.

God wants you to be free!

He wants to release you from the muck and bring the victory. God desires that we have a full, abundant life, living in complete freedom.

No more spinning wheels..... let faith rise up and release you from the mud of fear and doubt. God is in control!

He's throwing out the chain of hope today. Will you grab it and live free?

Learning to See the Light

2012-08-30T07:36:00.002-05:00

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

My heart is full of praise today.

If you have been following my last few posts you know I have been going through some really rough times. I was so trapped in darkness that I couldn't see the light even if you shone a flashlight in my eyes. As I write this post none of the circumstances have changed ... but my heart has. God has given me victory over my fears, and I am at peace.

One of the tools God used to open my eyes was Jason Castro's song, Only a Mountain. This (whatever you are facing right now) is only a mountain. You don't have to find your way around it, just tell it to move. God is BIGGER than any mountain that you face. Please don't ever forget that!!!

Another thing that has helped me turn from fear to faith is focusing on God's Blessings.

Sometimes those blessings come in the form of things that didn't happen or we didn't receive.

641. Not getting the full-time job I wanted
642.   Not starting college classes like I had planned
643.   Not having the ability to handle things on my own

Sometimes His Blessings come in the form of tangible gifts

644.   An uncle that answers the call for help
645.   AMAZING friends, too numerous to name in this list
646.   Fluffy puppies who know just when to give extra love

And other times the Blessings can't be touched or held, but they are felt in the heart

647.   Prayers from all around the world
648.   A chance for my voice to be heard
649.   Peace that passes all understanding
650.   My heavenly Advocate

What's on your list today?

God's Plan

2012-08-29T08:38:00.000-05:00

This is what the LORD says: “You will be in Babylon for seventy years. But then I will come and do for you all the good things I have promised, and I will bring you home again. For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. I will be found by you,” says the LORD. “I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your own land.” ~ Jeremiah 29:10-14

We are all familiar with Jeremiah 29:11. We use this verse to bring comfort in times of confusion and chaos, and it should bring peace. God does have a plan for our lives; He doesn't set out to harm us or bring disaster. But God's plans don't always look like ours. Right before God reminds the exiles that He has a plan for them, He tells them that they will be in captivity for seventy years.

God doesn't always move in the way we expect or think is best, but He does promise to always be with us. His Word says that if we earnestly seek we will find Him. God is in control and His ways are best. We must trust Him, keep our eyes on Him, no matter what the world throws at us.

Psalm 116

2012-08-28T07:32:00.002-05:00

I love the LORD because he hears my voice
and my prayer for mercy.

Because he bends down to listen,
I will pray as long as I have breath!

Death wrapped its ropes around me;
the terrors of the gravet overtook me.
I saw only trouble and sorrow.

Then I called on the name of the LORD:
“Please, LORD, save me!”

How kind the LORD is! How good he is!
So merciful, this God of ours!

The LORD protects those of childlike faith;
I was facing death, and he saved me.

Let my soul be at rest again
for the LORD has been good to me.

He has saved me from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling.

And so I walk in the LORD’s presence
as I live here on earth!

I believed in you, so I said,
“I am deeply troubled, LORD.”

In my anxiety I cried out to you,
“These people are all liars!”

What can I offer the LORD
for all he has done for me?

I will lift up the cup of salvation
and praise the LORD’s name for saving me.

I will keep my promises to the LORD
in the presence of all his people.

Psalm 116:1-14 NLT

Yet Will I Praise Him

2012-08-23T16:37:00.002-05:00

This might be the hardest post I have ever had to write. I can't name my blessings today. . . not today. Yet I feel like that's what God is asking me to do.

This battle is too hard. I can't stop fighting because the price is too high, but I don't feel like I can go on because the road is too long.

But you will not even need to fight. Take your positions; then stand still and watch the LORD’s victory. He is with you. 2 Chronicles 20:17 NLT

I have to believe that God is fighting with me; He is fighting for me. I don't see blessings right now and I don't feel like praising . . . but I will.

God, there are times when I feel like I am dying inside. But I know that You are always worthy of my praise. So I will begin to praise You in this storm.

God has shown His Love towards me this week through:
631.   Prayers of a stranger
632. Angels in disguise
633. A Gathering of Two (or more)
634.   Friends who empty the litter box for me
635.   Freshly washed sheets
636.   A God who walks with me Through the Fire
637.   Cell phones and texts messages that allow me to stay in contact
638.   The strength and maturity of my children
639.   An amazing outpouring of love and support
640.   Finding rest in the Mighty Arms of my Heavenly Father

What's on your list today?

Through the Fire

2012-08-21T05:28:00.001-05:00

Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you Isaiah 43:1-3 NLT

I'm walking through some strong rivers and hot flames this morning. Circumstances seem impossible and I am afraid.

But God. . .

A friend recently reminded me of those two words. They used to be my favorite words and I would cling to them; I'm clinging again.

I am weak, but God is STRONG!

The problem are big, but God is BIGGER!

I can't, but God CAN!

Please pray . . .

A Gathering of Two

2012-08-19T11:50:00.000-05:00

"For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst."

Matthew 18:20 NASB

I'm going through some really difficult things right now. I've been trying so desperately to handle this all on my own, in my own strength, but I've reached my breaking point. I can't do this anymore; I can't go on.....my strength is gone.

I fell apart this morning

Then something happened. One by one sisters in Christ started reaching out to me. Standing by me, agreeing to support me in prayer. I am not physically close to any of these women; distance separates us all. But they are gathering with me, wherever they are, to lift me up in prayer.

God never intended for us to walk alone.

A gathering of two is a beautiful thing.

Never Enough

2012-08-15T09:24:00.003-05:00

If only I could

Be better . . .

Accomplish greater . . .

Need less . . .

Love deeper . . .

Work harder . . .

I have to do more so I will be loved more

But the truth is no matter how hard I try, it will never be enough, and that statement scares me to death. My identity is found in what I do, and if what I do is not enough, then that means I am not enough.

If God's love for me is based strictly on who I am, then I'm in BIG trouble because I'm no one special. But I just realized something. God's love for me is not based on who I am, but on WHO HE IS. I can't earn God's love because God IS Love.

Father, I feel like such a failure. I've broken all the rules and let everyone down . . . and I believe I have let you down too. I'm scared, and tired, and I feel alone. Yet when I open my eyes I see the signs of Your Love all around me. You are trying to remind me that I am loved.

God, "I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24)

Monday Meditations

2012-08-13T07:45:00.002-05:00

Why am I discouraged?
Why is my heart so sad?
I will put my hope in God!
I will praise him again—
my Savior and my God!

Psalm 42:15 NLT

You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing.
You have taken away my clothes of mourning

and clothed me with joy,

that I might sing praises to you and not be silent.
O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever!

Psalm 30:11-12 NLT

I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.

Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.

Psalm 27:13-14 NIV

For I am convinced that neither death nor life,

neither angels nor demons,

neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,

neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation,

will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39 NIV

The Promise of Dawn

2012-08-09T16:16:00.000-05:00

It's been too long Father. I used to number your Blessings weekly, but months have gone by without counting.

I've been distracted by things that are no more. There have been so many changes and I've been more focused on things left behind than the Blessings You have laid out in front of me. Others have pointed out the sun shining brightly around me, but all I have seen is the darkness.

Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning. Psalm 30:5 NLT

So today I focus on the promise of dawn. You have been pouring out your Love on me and guiding my path. Instead of giving voice to those things I perceive as negative I will tell of Your Goodness and Mercy.

This week I am especially thankful for:
621.   A job
622.   New education opportunities for my son
623.   Amazing friends opening their hearts and home to me
624.   Medical coverage
625.   Fellowship with believers who continue to challenge me
626.   Spending time with my best friend
627.   Rediscovering passions that have been hidden for a long time
628.   Needs being met through unexpected avenues
629.   Being able to "let go" of my grown children, knowing I have raised them to the best of my ability.
630.   The promise of dawn

What's on your list today?

Life Interrupted

2012-08-01T07:48:00.004-05:00

"A crowd soon gathered around Jesus, and they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons. He was sitting there fully clothed and perfectly sane, and they were all afraid. Then those who had seen what happened told the others about the demon-possessed man and the pigs. And the crowd began pleading with Jesus to go away and leave them alone." Mark 5:15-17 NLT

Jesus healed a man..... a man possessed by so many demons that they said their name was Legion. Day and night this man wandered around the cemetery, howling and cutting himself with sharp stones. People were afraid to go near this area because the man was so violent.

Jesus healed a man.....and the crowds begged Him to go away and leave them alone. You would think the people would be thanking Jesus for bringing peace, not only to this man, but also to their region, yet they asked Him to leave. Why? Because Jesus messed with the familiar.   The people were comfortable with the way things were.

Does Jesus have permission to mess with your comfortable and interrupt your life today?

Many blessings,


                                                                                                                                                                 Would you like to keep up with this blog? Sign up to get my posts emailed to your inbox right here. Or just like us on Facebook.

The Motive Behind the Action

2012-07-24T08:15:00.000-05:00

The other day I posed this question on the A Moment with God Facebook page.

Why do you go to church?

Here are some of the answers I received:

"To worship God, to get a blessing from the service, to interact with 'like minded' people, to show God how much I love Him, and to strengthen my faith!!"

"God's Word and His forgiveness and mercy that I receive through hearing His message. He ALWAYS speaks to me there and I want to worship and give Him thanks."

"I go because God ALWAYS meets me there, I LOVE to worship Him with other believers and I NEEEEEED to HEAR the messages He sends our Pastor every week. I learn something new every time I go and not to mention the fellowship with other believers trying to find their way in this world just like me."

I asked this question because it's something I have been thinking about a lot lately. And apparently I'm not the only one. One person wrote, "An interesting question to ask -- I've been asking myself that lately, and wrestling with the real reasons I do go...."

Some would say that they go to church to worship God, but can't we worship Him anywhere? Shouldn't we worship Him everywhere? I know that God does speak to us through the songs or the Pastor's teachings, but He can speak to us everyday in anyway He chooses. Worshiping God, speaking to Him, and listening to His voice are definitely a part of our church services, but we should be doing those things on a daily basis....not just Sunday mornings. So why do we go to church?

I have some thoughts that I want to share, but first I want to hear from you. Why do you go to church? Share you thoughts in the comment section below or on our Facebook page.

Coming Back to Life

2012-07-12T06:52:00.001-05:00

Unloved....

Unworthy....

Guilty....

A failure....

Alone....

A disappointment....

Unnoticed....

Nobody....

These aren't just words, they are labels I have been giving myself; names I call myself when no one is around. As I add each label to my heart, I feel my spirit grow heavier and heavier.

The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy.

My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.

John 10:10 NLT

Jesus never intended for us to live this way. He came to give us abundant life. The words He speaks to us bring joy and set our spirits free!

Beloved....

Precious....

Redeemed....

Forgiven....

Worthy....

Blessed....

Child of God....

I'm listening to His Voice now and I feel my spirit coming back to life.

Many blessings,

I Feel Lost

2012-07-11T08:27:00.000-05:00

Dear Heavenly Father,

I had that "unsettled" feeling again today. You know the one I'm talking about. It's the feeling of being lost. I hate feeling that way. But today, in the midst of my loneliness and confusion, I heard you speak to me. You said, "I want you to get lost in me."

Lost in God....

Lost in His mighty arms

Lost in His comfort and grace

Lost in His mercy and compassion

Lost in His forgiveness and love

Father I need to get lost in you because it's only then that I can be found. Instead of hanging on and trying to make sense of everything, help me to let go and lose myself in you.

Amen

Many blessings,

Lord I Need You

2012-07-10T06:30:00.000-05:00

Father God,
You knew the outcome of this day before the sun even rose to start the day. So many needs burden my heart this morning and I feel overwhelmed. I know that I can not handle this on my own. I place my life into your Loving Hands, trusting You to go before me and make a way. When I cannot stand I'll fall on You.

Many blessings,

Lord I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
Without You I fall apart
You're the one that guides my heart

Lord, I need You, oh I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You

Where sin runs deep, Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Yes where You are Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
