WARNING: Exposure to the Son may prevent burning. . . . .
“Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is” ~Jeremiah 17:7~
Be Determined!
It takes courage to be led by God. It’s not easy to “break the mold” and rise above the limits others place on you. When you do, you’ll face disapproval. Jesus did. When the folks He grew up around said, “Is not this the carpenter’s son?” (Matthew 13:55 ), they were really saying, “He should stay in His place!”
When they tell you that, don’t listen. “Every one of us shall give account of himself to God” (Romans 14:12).
In the final audit you’ll discover that not only is it wrong to be judgmental of others, it’s also wrong to permit their opinions to control you. “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose hope [confidence]is in him.”
To follow God’s leading you must have confidence that:
(1) He loves you in spite of your shortcomings;
(2) He has a definite plan for your life;
(3) you are capable of hearing from Him for yourself;
(4) whatever He asks of you, He will enable you to do.
Once you’ve heard from God, be resolute! Things worth having never come easy. If you find yourself weakening, ask God for determination and He will impart it to you through His Spirit. If you find yourself being “double minded,” go back and ask yourself what God told you in the beginning - then STICK WITH IT. .. . .
Don’t go in a different direction because of worry, or discouragement, or the sentiments of others. Remind yourself that YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO SUCCEED IN WHATEVER GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO DO. If you’ve made Jesus Lord of your life, HIS determination lives in you - because HE lives in you.
This song was playing on the radio when I was preparing this message so I thought I would give ya all a taste of the "Son" sunny days…...

I think the message today was one that the Lord gave to me [just for me] as I am always questioning my ability to follow through on the Homeless mission the Lord has called me to.
I am always telling those that write me and say the message was just for them that the Lord was on time.. As He is an on time God every time . . All the time…… Well I am saying that to my self right now…. When we need to hear something the Lord will always find a way of getting the message to us.
So I am encouraging all of you to listen carefully to what others have to say, read diligently words that across your way… it just may be the Lord trying to tell you something that you need to hear or an answer to your prayer….
God Bless my friends and have a great day in the Lord….
