Too Wise to Act Irrationally

Some hyper-zealous folks would have us believe that the reason we don’t have more “thanks” to give is because we just don’t have enough faith… like… they do. Let us remember that though we don’t get everything we think we should when we pray, God is too wise to act irrationally and too compassionate to be cruel. Great is His faithfulness Lam.3:22-24 — “It is because of the Lord’s lovingkindnesses that we are not consumed, Because His [tender] compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; Great and beyond measure is Your faithfulness. 24 ‘The Lord is my portion and my inheritance,’ says my soul; ‘Therefore I have hope in Him and wait expectantly for Him.’”


Plan A: Abundant Life

(Melissa G.) Remember: We are heirs of Plan A! God’s original intent for our lifetime and beyond! We choose to live Plan B simply because we don’t Cross roads with plan A plan B road signshave a grasp on His love and true intent for us.  However, just because it’s not God’s original intent does not mean He is not right in the midst of it.  “It is because of the Lord’s lovingkindness we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great and beyond measure is Your faithfulness.” Lam. 3:22-23 (AMP).  Hear me out, this verse describes where our medicines fit.  It is not God’s original intent for us to live with disease and on medication.  Jesus finished the work so we could live an abundant life quickened by the Spirit that raised Christ from the dead (Romans 8:11).  However, because He loves us so much, plan B has God’s mercy all over it, “we are not consumed – His [tender] compassions never fail – NEW EVERY MORNING – Great and beyond measure is Your faithfulness.” AND because of that mercy there is ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS opportunity to live Plan A.

God-Cloaked Answers

EyeKeyHole(Melissa) Have you ever had times when a revelatory nugget pops up, then within days you hear the same nugget from other sources? That’s been happening as of late and I’m learning to pay attention to those! Following is one such instance that has been not only ringing in my ear, but answering some of those seemingly unanswerable questions. 
While in conversation this was quoted to me from a book, “God hides some things for specific times so that the enemy cannot destroy them.” That stuck with me, and a couple of days later I read a quote from someone else that was expressing the exact same thought! Well, that really hit me between the eyes, especially because these came from trusted sources.  It was an “Are you listening?” moment.

Over the Top

Overthetop
May you go over the top and beyond what you have hoped for in gaining victory in your life, your health, your finances and your calling. May you not just get up to ground level but soar beyond any measure you have know heretofore.

”It is because of the Lord’s mercy and loving-kindness that we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions fail not.  They are new every morning; GREAT AND BEYOND MEASURE IS YOUR FAITHFULNESS.  The Lord is my portion or share, says my living being (my inner self); therefore will I hope in Him and wait expectantly for Him.” (Lam.3:22-24, Amp)


 


Consider The Rainbow

When you consider a rainbow–anyone can see it and even scientifically know how it is done, but do you know Who did it?  Beyond the obvious, the real beauty is relationship and the real impact is what is being Rainbow_MG_Sept2013said without words.  The rainbow is an awesome promise that what we have outlived does not have to be relived again.  Thank God, the past does not dictate my future.  His mercies are new every morning.

“I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.” (Gen.9:13)

“It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” (Lam.3:22-23, KJV)
