Consider the Lilies

“Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”
Luke 12:27

“When I think of the Goodness of Jesus
and all He has done for me,
my soul cries out Hallelujah
Praise God for Saving me.”

I want to reassure you today that You are on God’s mind. He hasn’t forgotten you or forsaken you. Life on earth was never meant to be comfortable or permanent. But it doesn’t always have to be miserable.

….The joy of the Lord is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10

Consider the fowls of the air…..
Consider the Lilies……

I believe that God is doing a work like never before. Moving us from our comfort zones, making us trust in Him in a way that we never have.
We’ve gotten used to going to our boxes, singing our three songs, placating our consciences, and returning to our lives of scraping out an existence in spite of God.
He gets visitation rights on Sunday and maybe Wednesday if we’re not too tired. And We, I’ve gotten comfortable with that.
God wants us to live IN HIM and HIM in us. Not trying to sound harsh or appear that I believe we have all failed, I don’t think that at all.
God has and is doing a work.
I believe this is God saying to his church, “Move up a little closer” as the old Happy Goodmans song says.

I also believe it is a preparation time for the next phase of life in Him.
We are being forced to look at our existence differently.
Where is God in all this?
Where does God want to be in all this?
Where we are taking Him now, or where are we allowing Him to take us?
Out into the Highways and the hedges?
Shouting His name, proclaiming His truth from the Rooftops?
Maybe this is about putting the church back where It was in the Book of Acts.
Where was it, where was the Church after Acts chapter 2?
It was Door to Door, in houses, and on the street.
Not waiting on the world to come to it, but taking the whole Gospel to the world.

Now is our appointed time! This is the hour.
We have to put God’s will ahead of our own and let God be God.

If He feeds the sparrows and dresses the lilies, how much more does He have in store for those He calls His Children.
Let God Bless! Let God lead, let God move you to where He wants you.

God Bless you richly

I'm a Husband, Father, Pawpaw and Pastor. I love spending time with my grand-buddies. A minister since 1988, I have been blessed to work in several churches around the U.S and currently am blessed to pastor an Awesome Church. I've also had the pleasure of ministering in faraway places while traveling for work. Some of my greatest honors have been the relationships I gained with several of the modern-day Heros of the Faith, the ministering families all around the world. Several years ago I started working with leather as a means to fight boredom while working in remote areas. It swiftly became a passion that I want to share as well. My plan is to keep spreading God's Love through the written and preached word, through walking the walk, and to keep making cool stuff along the way.
