Blessings in the Everyday Stuff

Praise and Worship by Laura Sotka, 2008

Recently the nation had Mega Millions fever with a little over a half billion jackpot. Three winning tickets were discovered and I've heard many people saying how they wished they had received such a blessing. I hear people speak of waiting for blessings to come into their life but these blessings are always big ones. People want to be blessed with the big stuff like monetary gifts, trips and material things. Sometimes even those in the Body of Christ become envious when it seems like others are blessed with these things and we are not. When all you can talk about is being blessed or wanting to be blessed with the bigger, finer things in life, then it is time to realign your focus.

Adonai

For many Christians, Adonai is not a new found word for them. If nothing else, I believe The Passion of the Christ has helped many recognize that Adonai is one of the names used for YHVH God. However, what some may not be aware of is that Adonai is the plural form of Adon which means Lord. Did that just make a big question mark appear over your head? Well allow me to explain. Well, maybe more like simplify it a bit for you.

The Struggle to Make Time for God

In a day and time when God is needed more than ever, I find myself struggling to find time for Him. Unfortunately, I know I am not the only one who struggles to find time for God and His Word. So much time is devoted to work, family, friends, leisure and we often find ourselves taking out a couple of hours a week for God. In order to build a personal relationship with God and building an intimate knowledge of His Word, we need more than a church service or two a week.

A Family's Spiritual Shade

Hello brothers and sisters, my heart is heavy as so far this month it seems as if there has been a death almost every other day. For most of the ones who have passed I am not worried because I do feel they are gone because they have finished the race. My sadness is for their loved ones left behind and for myself as I will miss them.

SEE THE BLESSING OF MINISTERING RATHER THAN LEADING

Throughout history the men and women who answered the higher calling of GOD have come under attack for their message and walk not always matching up. I am not called to be a prophet, priest, pastor or any leader. However, I am answering the call that all believers are called to do which is minister to others. While I feel being called to that higher purpose of being a leader is a great and blessed thing. I have to be honest in saying that I am glad this is not a calling GOD has placed on my life.
