SIT DOWN SOMEWHERE PLEASE!

Psalm 46:10(NIV)
 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”


GOD IS ASKING YOU TO GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN SO HE CAN WORK!


     My wife will be the first one to tell you that I can cook really well. However when my wife is in the kitchen I have a tendency to get in her way. Most times things flow better for my  wife when I am not trying so hard to inject my "help" into her process.

      She asks me politely: " Honey please step aside so I can finish what I am doing."

     What she really means  is: "Will you get on;  and sit down somewhere! I know what I am doing and I do not need your help!"


     There is no love lost in this seamless transaction that is understood fully by myself with just a simple respectful request and look that is unmistakably firm.  And I would be a fool to continue my course of action after what she said has been fully understood.


      It is no different with GOD. Believe it or not, GOD is in control.  GOD does not rest or sleep. GOD is resting from his acts of creation until the end of days, but he is still in the miracle business and holds the universe together with an unlimited power.  Even though we know this as Christians we are still in the Kitchen of our lives trying to help GOD finish the dish of our hearts desire. Instead of sitting back in faith and watching the master at work and waiting to be served the dish of life He is preparing for us, "we" give suggestions and even try to push GOD out of the kitchen." We need to "BE STILL and Know that HE is GOD". GOD is the Master chef of our lives. The word CHEF in French means the "person in charge or Boss" of the kitchen.  He is the Master of all Nations, and of all  creation. He is able to do all the things that you would consider to be impossible. So I ask are you giving GOD the position of CHEF in your life's Kitchen. If not, please do! And when you do, sit back and watch in awe at the work of the Master's hands.

Remember , I love you always and in all ways.

Rev. M. Harrison

    Too many times we think that God needs our help, that is NEVER the case. When God wants to use us, He will. Until then, we need to stay out of the way.

Never Lose You!

Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? _____________________________________________________ The world would have you believe that it has all of the answers.   The world will tell you that what you see, hear, feel, touch and smell is all that is real and worth living for.   But you may not know or understand that living for the rewards of this world come at a cost.   The world’s influence, when used as the blueprint for living, takes your heart and shapes it to its will leaving you an empty shell of who you really are. Nothing in this world is worth changing who you are in Christ.   There is no middle ground in the issue.   Yes, we are all a work in progress and live in this world, but who we are is not dictated by anything or anyone in this world.   Who you are is worth more than whatever this world has to offer.   Do not chase the image the world is selling you.   Unless...

NO MATTER WHAT!

Jeremiah 17:7-8 But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." ______________________________________________ Watching the news and living in a world that seems to have given way to fits of pandemonium it seems as if hope is in short supply.   Each week we get reports of shootings, world hunger, sickness and corruption.   How can anyone be truly blessed when the world is going down.   Like a neighborhood that once was the cream of the Crop that has begun to be run down, our world needs a revival and rejuvenation.   This time and moment are the birth pains that will give way for that revival.   No matter what the world news is reporting! No matter what you hear or see! No matter what tools Satan employs: ...

TIME!

James 4:14   Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. __________________________________________________________ Our plans and plots are events that we try to cram into the short time we have on this earth.   The term YOLO is very true.   We only have one life, and one short chance to live and make a difference in this world.   When we make plans for our lives we are, at best, looking at a very small slice of time.   Our time is like a seed.   A seed is small!  Yet it will leave a legacy that will be manifested in the tree and fruit that is produced.   The seed will die but what it leaves behind speaks to what was planted.   What have you decided to do with your time?   Strive to let your life edify God and leave a legacy of love via your life of expression.   Express the gift that God has given you through His son Jesus Chris...
