When a Woman Speaks

Shared on FB by Rita Jackson, #womenofGodspeak

When a woman speaks, amazing things happen. She speaks with knowledge and authority but also with love and tenderness. She speaks with pain and sorrow but also with hope and courage. She speaks with elegance and grace but also with                                           power and anointing. She speaks to her Father in prayer and changes the destiny of nations, families, and friends.

Yes, when a woman speaks the earth moves. When Leah spoke, “She named him Judah, for she said, “Now I will praise the Lord!” When Hannah spoke, she said, “I am the very woman who stood here several years ago praying to the Lord…and he has granted my request.” When Esther spoke she said, “If I have found favor with the king, and when Ruth spoke she said, “Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.” When Elizabeth spoke, she said, “When I heard your greeting, the baby in my womb jumped for joy.” When Mary spoke, she said “Oh, how my soul praises the Lord. How my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!” When Anna spoke, “she began praising God. She talked about the child to everyone who had been waiting expectantly for God to rescue Jerusalem.” When the Samaritan woman spoke, she said, “He told me everything I ever did!”

Women of God, speak! Because when you do, the Father listens and the impossible happens.

I find it amazing how God continues to use women in our lives today, thank you ladies for all you do to share God’s love and bless us in so many ways. I can only add Proverbs 31 covers it all and verse 30 and 31 in particular.

³⁰ Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. ³¹ Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

LOOK AHEAD

I share of post from  Face book that blessed me. (Musa Wawuyo Mussa)

The prudent understand where they are going, but fools deceive themselves.

Proverbs 14:8.

A head coach is thought to be eccentric because of how extensively he plans and plays in advance of each game. Most coaches would wait to see how the game unfolded, then respond with plays that seemed appropriate. But a good Coach wants always a game to respond to him.

Looking ahead is the process of creating the future before it happens. People who learn to do it “understand where they are going.” It involves deciding your actions in advance so that your life will respond to you. What are the benefits of such a proactive pursuit?

Looking ahead gives direction. It’s like using a highlighter on a roadmap to indicate where you are, where you are going, and how you are going to get there. The highlighted roadmap not only provides information for where you are going; it also suggests where you are not going.

Looking ahead helps us to create rather than react. With each step along our journey, we are faced with a choice either to create or to react. Many people spend their entire days reacting. Like goalies in hockey, with pucks flying at us all day, we react. We react to news, cars in traffic, people, events, challenges, and obstacles. A better way involves making choices and following plans.

Looking ahead saves time. “One hour of planning saves three hours of execution.” Planning yields a savings return. We only have twenty-four hours in a day and 365 days in a year. If we don’t use them wisely by looking ahead, we will forever forfeit those gifts.

Looking ahead reduces crisis. Our daily lives have two controlling influences: plans and pressures. When we look ahead and choose to plan, we take charge and control of our days. If we fail to look ahead, we will spend our days in crisis mode. We will fall into a trap of panic planning—planning on the fly with no time to effectively map out a strategy.

Looking ahead maximizes energy. Failing to look ahead, we dissipate our energy on less important matters, improper agendas, and lost crusades. We waste our time on the trivial many. But preparation often energizes us! Be wise. Look ahead. It’s eccentric but well worth the effort.

Good advice, take time to acknowledge God and lean not to your own understanding. All is well when we trust Him with all our thoughts and plans. Don’t be a fool.

I Delight to do thy will O God

Lord, here I am one more time asking your will and your way, help me to know what you want me to do today, help me to show someone the way. Doing God’s will sometimes means waiting patiently. While we wait, we can love God, serve others, and tell others about him. Read with me Psalms 40

40 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

² He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

³ And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.

⁴ Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

⁵ Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

⁶ Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

⁷ Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

⁸ I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

⁹ I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest.

¹⁰ I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

¹¹ Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

¹² For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

¹³ Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: O Lord, make haste to help me.

¹⁴ Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

¹⁵ Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, aha, aha.

¹⁶ Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.

¹⁷ But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

The Lord be magnified. I delight to do thy will O my God. Have a wonderful week with Jesus .

The Earth is Full of the Goodness of the Lord

  The Earth is Full of the Goodness of the Lord

For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth. He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

Psalm 33:4-5 KJV

Regardless of what man may say, whether politically correct or not, regardless of the scientific efforts to disprove, the word of the Lord is right and his works are done in truth.

 Look around you at the goodness of the Lord. Today, I may see a little rain, I may see the fog, I may see the sun shine, I may see ice and snow but it is all part of God’s goodness. He knows when we need whatever comes our way.

Today, I went to the doctor and I see the goodness he is trying to do for me and others. I look outside and see the joy a beautiful cardinal brings me as it reminds me of my dad’s love for them. I pull up to a church and see a big black crow perched on the door handle bringing a laugh and seeing just how great our world is with all God shares with us.

As I sit waiting for my doctor I see so many people in worse shape than I am. Thank you Lord, I see my precious wife who is taking care of me faithfully, oh, yes, I see the goodness of 53 years of marriage you have given us Lord.

When I think of the goodness of God I just want to sing praising unto him for his mercy endures forever. I can hear my mom cry out “Oh Hallelujah” when she would get happy in the Lord. I want to continue that same spirit in my life.

So, I declare, look around you, there is no time for anything but giving praise to the Lord. I sing his praises everyday and I encourage you to do the same.
