Stubborn Faith

 

That GOD has always been

Able to reach into the highest echelon

To obtain favor for HIS chosen 

Is a fact that is tried and true

So, I just wanted to remind you

To never give up and to hold on

To that “stubborn faith” because

GOD has determined that, to you

Enough has been done.

As Best I Can


 I’m living my life as best I can

As I day by day write and speak

Encouragement to my fellowman

Trusting in YOU, FATHER for the 

Carrying forth of YOUR plan 

As my faith is built into a

Mustard tree that sits atop a mountain 

For all who will to shelter and rest

Under its span.©️


Jesus said, “How shall we picture the kingdom of God, or by what parable shall we present it? It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the soil, though it is smaller than all the seeds that are upon the soil, yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and forms large branches; so that the birds of the air can come and nest under its shade.” (Mark 4:30-32) (https://hermeneutics.stackexchange.com/)


Be blessed as you digest this blog today.

In HIS service,

Alma L. Carr-Jones

Shifting Gears

 Been traveling this road for many years

Gauging my steps and shifting my gears

Sometimes with a smile and 

At other times with tears

Yet, come what might 

I will continue my work

And persevere in my fight

Until I reach the end of my road

Where Heaven’s greeters shall lift

My last earthbound load.©

Sometimes, the simple words of a small poem capture the essence of the moment best.

Beauty from Ashes

To the “chosen vessel” Isaiah 61:3 (NASB)

“Weeping may endure for a night, joy cometh in the morning.” Psalm 30:5

So, if you are a vessel that is being fired with finishing touch heat, hold on and know that for a special purpose, you have been crafted. Prepare to step into the slot for which you have been formed. Though you think you walk alone, not so, for YOUR MAKER holds your hand. Just know that just like the Phoenix, “beauty will rise from your ashes of grief and disillusionment” as you walk in accomplishment and peace. Why? Maybe, just maybe you are deemed “ready for The MASTER’s use.” Peace be with you as you realize your true purpose and worth.

To the opposing camp of “a chosen vessel”

You have to be cognizant of WHO crafted the vessel in the first place, now don’t you? 

You have to remember that if GOD crafted a vessel just so, with the fires of life at given temperatures, HE has an ultimate purpose in mind and no purpose of GOD ALMIGHTY can be thwarted. If you are of the opposing camp (whether you know it or not) understand that “a chosen vessel" comes forth as pure gold to “rise to the occasion,” and woe to the man who obstructs his work or his path. 


A Word to the Wise - Don’t be so stuck on a vessel that you miss the message therein.

Saved More Than Once

 They did this

But GOD said...

And they did that


But GOD said...


And we, the people, did what?


We kept right on praying!


Bottom line is Romans 8:31 (KJV)

“If GOD is for us, then who can be against us?”



Recent studies have shown that 55% of Americans engage in daily prayer; we have been saved by prayer more than once, so let’s get the numbers up, people! 


Have you said your prayer today

Did your children see you bow

Your knees today

For you will be teaching them a helping skill that

Lasts life long, when you teach them to bow and  pray.©

The Fallen

 



For us, their lives they did give - 
Let’s keep honoring their memories 
By the lives that we choose to live.©️
