Meet Tara

I am loving the Bible Recap with Tara Leigh Cobble as part of my daily reading this year.
She dropped this truth bomb the other day and I had to push rewind and write it down.
Truth from God’s word is worth savoring friends.
The reality that God is Always working on our behalf and no man can thwart His purposes is an anchor for your heart on the days your circumstances feel like mountains no man can climb.
We can trust in our faithful God beloved.

“In your strength I can crush an army; with my God I can scale any wall.”
Psalm 18:29

Redirecting my eyes towards the truth of God’s word always redirects my heart. ❤️#seekandsavorpodcast #hopeinhim #rejoicealways ...

It was just a couple of years ago, but I still remember it.
She told her mama that Nana had to have this even though they had already bought me a present. Her mama obliged.
 
It was a necklace that said two words, “Immeasurably More,”
A lump rose in my throat as I opened it.
 
My heart needed  those words.
It needed to remember that while I “lift up my eyes,” I also need to remember that God is able to do immeasurably more than I can find the strength to ask for or even imagine.
This is for you too friend.

Our God is for us.
His book is a love story.
Sit down, and invite Him to speak to your heart.
You are dearly loved.
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen
Eph. 3:20,21

I’ve been asking the Lord for more.
I’m realizing I need Him more than I’ve reached for Him in the past.
What I mean by that is, of course we need Him to save us, friends.
But, He didn’t just sacrifice His life for ours and stop there.

Psalm 139 says He is intimately acquainted with all our ways.

When my husband went to heaven and the fog of constant grief started lifting, I began to see how very much alone I was..

Who would help me make all the decisions I was used to making with a partner?
The ones, we take for granted like; What’s for dinner?
What color should we paint the house?
Is it time to replace the water heater or should we wait?
And the bigger ones like how should I handle a conflict with my child or is it time to sell the house?
It only took a few weeks before I had decision fatigue.😰
Then one day out of frustration, I said, Lord, since he’s not here, I need you to do all these things….And you know what?
He did.
As I waited on Him, he answered.
I began asking him to be everything: my counselor, my friend, my physician, everything.
So, it was no surprise to me after one particularly stressful week, I came across this verse in my reading.

“The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statues of the Lord are trustworthy making wise the simple.”
Ps. 19: 7(NKJV)

There He was again, giving me the perfect prescription for a dry, weary soul crying out for direction.

What do you need the Lord to do for you beloved?

Ask and he will answer. Seek and you will find.

Tag a friend who needs to remember that He wants to be our Everything!

Many of us have been asleep.
We literally are moving from one day to the next, our schedules filled from morning til night with things for us to do.

We try to make our lives here as comfortable as they can be.

But God’s word says, to be on your guard, instead of asleep to stay alert and clearheaded.
He calls us to
prepare our minds for action and exercise self-control.

The enemy of our souls would have us remain asleep. He would have us believe that the action we might take surely can’t make a difference, so why try.

We have a choice whose voice we heed beloved.

Join us for today’s episode of the Seek and Savor podcast, “It’s time to wake up.”

You are here… today…. for such a time as this. ❤️

Maybe, like me you need this gentle reminder.

The Lord’s love for us is great beloved! His compassions never fail.

When we wake up in the morning His mercies are there to meet us.

Truth is meant to be spoken over our own hearts. Try it... OUT LOUD.

It might feel weird at first but I guarantee you the more you do it the more you begin to believe the words you’ve been reading.

They become a charge to your own heart. A fire is IGNITED to believe his promises, the things he says about His people and the HOPE we have in Jesus.

He is our portion.

He is all we need...so we can wait on him to make everything right. In this world, in our relationships, in our own hearts.

Trust him beloved.

P.S. Waiting on God is a place of honor. Go read Ps 147:11 He favors those who fear him and wait on his lovingkindness.

He’s got us. ❤️

She isn’t tiny anymore.
But as I look at her little bowed head and heart full of faith I am reminded that God is faithful.
We may live on a battlefield and feel the tug of war over our hearts and those we love but we forget something beloved.
Our God is able.
He isn’t dependent on our earthly wisdom.
He doesn’t rely on our ability to figure things out.
Even as a mature grandmother who walks with God I find my own heart forgetting.
I find myself anxious about waves that come against us, the ones that threaten to overtake us.
But when I quiet my soul, and surrender I remember.
I am not alone.
We are not alone.
He fights on our behalf.
Will He use us? Yes.
But the answers, the relief, the rescue lies in Him.
I got the joy of talking to this dear girl this week who isn’t this little anymore, about hearing God’s voice. We talked about how to recognize it, and how to make space for it.
Ah… that is the rub isn’t it friends?

“My soul waits in silence for God only. From Him is my salvation.” Ps.62:1
“My soul waits in silence for God only, for my hope is from Him.” Ps. 62:5

When was the last time you waited in silence? If your heart feels conviction you aren’t alone.

Who is willing to wait on the Lord with me?❤️

Have you ever found yourself holding your breath, not even aware you were?

Maybe you are anxious about all the things staring you in the face.
They may even be accompanied by the potential threats of what could happen tomorrow .
 It’s hard to follow the instruction not to worry about tomorrow.
 And yet God’s word doesn’t just say. DON’T WORRY for tomorrow has enough trouble of its own.
He tells us what to do instead.
Today’s episode of the Seek and Savor podcast is, “In Need of Joy.”
We don’t just talk about needing it. We look at God’s word for instruction on how to attain it.
