Good
Morning!
I
want to continue talking about the different "seasons" that occur in
our personal lives. I encourage you to visit our web site and read
the previous encouragements about this subject. Just click on the
"Archive" link. While you are there, check out the praise
reports and testimonies.....you might even want to send one in, if
this "ministry" has been a blessing to you! We also care about
your prayer requests.
T.O.D.A.Y.
Ministries is "here for you"!
Friday,
I talked about our "winter" seasons....as I said earlier, The Lord
is using the "four seasons" of Nature to relate to the spiritual
seasons we experience in our daily lives. So, today, I want to talk
about our "summer" seasons.
In
the "natural", summer is a time when most people think about
vacations and to take time off from their "jobs". God is not
against this...He wants us to have R&R!
However,
taking a "vacation" from reading the Word of God and spending time
with Him, will not bring R&R to us spiritually. Actually, it
will cause us to feel "dry and parched" from the heat
(pressure) that is turned up in our lives.
Sometimes
this heat comes from the devil, because he can see when we
are "dry", and therefore easily ignited...so he sends fiery darts
(Ephesians 6:16). God tells us the only way we can stop this is with the
"shield of faith", and since faith only comes by hearing the Word
of God, can you see why we cannot take a "vacation" from reading and
listening to His Word? The living waters of "The Word" will
keep you from being dry!
There
is one other reason for the heat (pressure) in our lives....and I will
talk about that tomorrow~~~~~~~
Have
a Blessed Day!! (don't take a vacation from God!)
In His Love, Luanne
