Enjoying the good?

Praying that your heart, mind, eyes, ears and soul be open to receive what is yours to receive from sharing just a minute portion of my thoughts for the day.  (Those that know me ... especially my husband and sons ... know that my mind and thoughts flow faster than the Kansas winds when His Passion that He created me with is ignited! LOL)  

So my life is constantly being taken higher, tent pegs being stretched wider, emotions and mindset constantly being refined and sifted and the list goes on.  It is such an honor to be in a study group of people who are purposefully reading Ecclesiastes.  Honestly, if it weren't for this group, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't normally turn to Ecclesiastes to be study, but I'm thankful I am.  

Today while reading, the realization that this book was written well before my time and yet God purposed it for me, where I am today, in this place and time of my growth.  Wow!  Having grown up with most people making sure I knew how unworthy I was for anything but giving all I had to help them accomplish their current goal ... this in itself stops my heart, causes my eyes to gain moisture and lowers me to my kness ... I truly am worthy and loved ... and so are YOU.   

Chapter 3 of Eccelesiastes is about there being a right time for everything.  There's a song by The Byrds that used this as their base for their song ... yes ... gasp ... God's word even prevails in secular music!  Love it!  Here's a link to the song for those that want to hear or for those that the song is now stuck in your mind ... your welcome!  Tee Hee

Okay ... now that The Byrds are done singing ... back to my sharing my insight.  There is definitely a time for everything.  In this advanced age of technology we have so much at our finger tips as well as so many expectations from others as well as self placed that we often are constantly rushing ahead and always feeling way behind.  My heart is so full of wanting to share insight that it is easy to get out of balance trying to figure out how to do all that the Lord is laying on my heart and I'm saying YES to.  Today, this reminder that there is a time for everything and I am to live in His leading in the "TIME" that I am presently in brings balance, peace and focus.  Yes, there are tons of opportunities, coulds, shoulds and wannas ... but today I choose to seek what time it is and what I am to do today.  

Verse 12 and 13 (not a big surprise since the verses are on the graphic I created!) says that nothing is better for me (and you) then to rejoice and do good in my (your) life.  Pretty cool ... my days are to be filled with rejoicing and doing good.  I can so totally do that.  Laughter and joy is so deeply a part of me that is painful NOT to laugh and choose joy even in the darkest challenges (and boy have I experienced some of those).  However, it goes on to say, "and ALSO that EVERY man (that's you and me) should EAT and DRINK and ENJOY the GOOD of all his labor -- it is the gift of God." 

Wait .. STOP ... Back up ... WhAT?  Accountability check!!! ... you are filling your day with busyness and DOING however are you ENJOYING the good of your busyness?  Are you truly following the leading of the LORD in your daily steps and busyness?  Are you enjoying the journey no matter how much of a workout? Are you joyfully eating and drinking the reaping from your labor?  Are you receiving AND opening up God's gift to you?   

Um, I'm going to go do some pondering on this ... I know I've got the DOING, joyfully giving and loving part down.  Thinking I need to make sure I'm receiving and opening GOD's GIFT to me and thoroughly appreciating, enjoying and giving thanks for it.  I mean .. you probably know how it feels to select just the perfect gift for someone and then have them not open or use it ... oh my, I think I've kind of done that to God and possibly others in my life.  Yip ... time to go ponder, repent and enjoy.  

How are you doing in this area?  I'd love to hear your insight and journey.  

Be BLESSED!  

Thank you for the investment of your time.

Refreshment Prayer For Weary Ones

Many Christians are exhausted from running the rat race, even the Christian rat race. Many are weighed down by family demands and tensions. They need strengthening and refreshment to receive God's enabling grace for each day. Pray this for yourself or others who need a fresh touch of the power of the Holy Spirit. You are blessed to be a blessing, and prayer is one of the most powerful ways you can bless others.

Pray this way:

Abba, I come alongside _______ and lift them into Your presence. Thank You for Your love for them. You have given Your word that You have set apart Your godly ones for Yourself. I claim that for _______ today. Give them a fresh touch of Your love in all its fullness. Meet all their needs today, because those who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing.

Please give _______wisdom and understanding, so that they will take only Your yoke and make only the plans that agree with Your divine purposes. Grant them Your favor and blessing. Increase their confidence in Your ability and presence at work in their lives to evict all fear and doubt.

Father, ________ is tired and needs Your divine strength, because they are running at the edge of their endurance. Heal and strengthen them body, soul, and spirit. Foil Satan's plans to attack in physical and emotional areas that are vulnerable. Let their roots tap deeply into You and enable them to keep on keeping on in the demands on them. Lighten their steps; let them mount up with wings as an eagle, as they wait on You. Reveal any sin that is hindering them, and speak to their heart, as You draw them closer to You. Give them grace for today, and then tomorrow give a whole new supply of Your provision of Yourself. Give them Your sweet presence each moment, and let them feel secure in You. When they don't know the outcome of their situation, show them that in You it is safe not to know, because You are good. 

Father, overcome _______'s fears with Your perfect love. Heal ________ where there is pain and hurt. Give them a breakthrough in the situations closest to their hearts, the ones that have wearied them most. Touch and restore the places that have been bruised and shut down. Open them up to new trust in You. Press through walls of disappointment, self-protection, separation, and pain. Minister reconciliation, so that all relationships might enjoy Your unity and sweet fellowship. Release Your fresh touch into each life that has claim upon their spiritual, emotional, and practical responsibility.

We come to Your cross and hide there from all stresses and pressures. Your glory outshines all the plans of the enemy to oppress _______. Mighty Warrior, reveal the real battle that they are up against. Let them rest in You, and stand steadfast, and see that the battle is the Lord's. Let no fiery arrows pierce their safe place in Your refuge. Give them confidence that no weapon formed against them will prosper. 

Place _______ in the refreshing stream of Living Water flowing from Your throne. Refresh them each moment in Jesus. Make them oaks of righteousness planted by streams of water, whose leaves do not wither. Bless them according to Your perfect will, as You watch over their way. Show them Your power and the glory of Your great love. In Jesus' name, Amen.
