It's Tough Being A Woman.....week 6
Just to know we are significant to God and He's willing to orchestrate a holy set-up to speak to us is monumental to every woman who ever feared she was invisible or unremarkable.
If our ears were opened to hear them, the sounds of angelic activity would be deafening
All sorts of things are happening in the Heavenlies around us
Esther ch. 6 - the Jews in Susa, terrified and far from the temple, had no idea how close God was
Sometimes Christ walks through our crisis dressed in the best disguise of all: ordinary events. He tucks a miracle in the fold of his robe and sweeps in and out unnoticed. Only in retrospect do we realize that a divine visitation graced our cold, crude winter and the ressurection of spring is on it's way.
Oh for the wosdom of God to know that if the answer comes to early, we'd miss His greatest act.
Sometimes, when God takes our sleep, He simply has something to say
God desires my company
Just to know we are significant to Him and He's willing to orchestrate a holy set-up to speak to us is monumental
God is deeply attentive to our most secret hurts, concerns and hopes
When the God of all creation reserves a remark for you, Beloved, that's all you need to be remarkable
We, like Haman, might be to self-absorbed and self-convinced to realize that we've become someone we can't stand
If we have a heart for Christ and an authentic desire to pursue godliness, lessons like these become protection as much as conviction
Luke 19:38 - a kingship conferred by God alone
Gen. 2:9...becoming fixated on the one thing they couldn't have, cheating themselves out of the goodness and creativity God offered
Glance over at your Bible. Think what you've been through with God in those pages. Think of the hope, guidance, assurance, and affection you've sought. Think how thankful you are that God wrote something you can hold to your chest, rocking back and forth, when your heart is shattered and your sight too bluured to read
We learn from scripture as much as what we don't want to be as what we do
haman was suffering from a case of mistaken identity
Prov. 18:6,7
Pride is a state of the heart that, sooner or later, is betrayed by the mouth
(Matt. 12:34)God created man with an undeniuable heart-mouth connection. .....what's in the heart will inevitably come out the mouth
In His grace, however, God always provides a way of escape
We might glean several things from Mordecai's example. If we get overlooked for affirmation or promotion, so be it. Let's just do our job. If we get elevated and celebrated, so be it. Let's just do our jobs. Let's pursue a walk with God so close that the spotlights of this world - be they for us or against us - are eclipsed by His enormous shadow cast on our path
...free to be neither depressed nor impressed with the capricious reactions of this carnal world.
Luke 19:30-38
a kingship fonferred by God alone
...goodness and creativity God offered

Lee Sizemore produced ovrt 100 (biblestudy) series and with numerous authors. Without exaggeration, God used one individual to alter the entire landscape of Christian discipleship as we know it. And here's the catch. He did it all from a wheelchair. He'd been all over the world in that crazy chair to tape Biblestudies.
He poured himself out like a drink offering , often amid physical discomfort and pain - so that peoplecould learn how to know Christ through Gods Word.
Sometimes we wait and wait for God to move, then when He does, we protest that He is moving too fast. Our cries "Lord, why do You wait?" turn into "Lord, wait!"
