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 ...

Have you ever wondered what it means to LIVE by the words that come from God’s mouth?
Matthew 4:4 tells us that
“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
Just like our bodies need bread to continue living, our spirits need the word’s breathed by God to sustain our souls.
Breathed by God beloved.
Of course it would be these words alone that have the power to actually Revive us.

Revive us according to your word God.

This is how His yoke becomes easy and His burdens become light.

It happens when we fill our hearts with so much of Him, He spills out in the pressing.
I want to drip Jesus.
Don’t you? ...

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?❤️

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.

I ran across this quote one day that I’d saved from T. Davis Bunn-
“The whole world’s out there screaming for our attention and only one little voice in our heart is whispering ;The answers not out there. It’s in here.”
Oh how I want to listen to that still small voice beloved!

There have been times in my life I desperately wanted to hear from God. I know you have too. Write it on the wall, Lord. ❤️
Isaiah 30:21 says,
“And your ears shall hear a word behind you saying, This is the way, walk in it.”
Now more than ever it’s imperative that the sheep know the Good Shepherd’s voice.
We could just make up our own path but why would we do that when He can see down the road? He can direct our steps and lead us in triumphant procession.
For more on this check out my Seek and Savor podcast and search the episode, “The Good Shepherd.”

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!

Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think....(Eph.3:20)
We serve a God of FAR MORE beloved.

Somewhere along the way, whether by fiery arrows of doubt and fear from the enemy or by our own insecurities; this truth becomes threatened.

We begin to think small. We begin to ask for little. We begin to tell ourselves to settle for less. We may even begin to think that we are hoping for too much.

Ah, what welcome relief to know that we serve a God who is able to do far more, abundantly than all we ask or think.
And the cherry on the top is the next verse: “According to the power that works within us!”
When you follow Jesus and His Spirit comes to live inside you, you have this same power, the power that raised Jesus from the dead. That’s no small thing friend.
So let’s dream with God. Let’s set our minds on things above rather than the earth. Let’s ask and seek and knock and do it all for His Glory.
