Water Plus Power Equals God

Posted on September 3, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

When I sit beside the ocean, I hear power, I hear peace, I hear God. The power of a wave, even a small wave, as it crashes on top of you is amazingly strong. The pull of the water as it retreats back into the sea takes all in its path. The sound of the waves on the shore is all encompassing, drowning out the voices surrounding, the worries, the fears. Like Jesus. He draws all of us to himself; He wants all of us to be with Him, to listen to His voice, feel peace, feel encompassing protection. Listen….can you hear Him? Blessings, Lisa

Things We Can’t Know

Posted on August 11, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

There are things in this life we cannot know. We can sometimes sense them lingering out of reach, yet near. Like these small homes off in the distance in the picture. We can’t know what’s going on inside these homes, what the people are doing, saying, thinking. Whether they’re at peace or not. But God knows these things. It comes down to faith, trust, belief in Someone greater. He holds the answers, He knows the way it will work, He cares for us enough to give the greatest good in the end. And it won’t just be a pretty picture….it will be the perfect picture. Blessings, Lisa “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” ~Romans 8:28

Hope

Once you choose hope, anything’s possible.
~ Christopher Reeve ~

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
~ Jeremiah 29:11 ~

“O LORD, you alone are my hope; I’ve trusted you from childhood.”
~ Psalms 71:5 ~

Love floods us with hope.

Changing, Yet Remaining

Posted on August 1, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

I’ve been thinking about change. Sand dunes blow, shift, rearrange with time, wind, and water. Yet the essence of the sand dune remains. It’s still sand; it is still present in some form although maybe different. Storms blow through all our lives, rearranging things, shifting priorities, helping us to see what’s really important. Family, friends, Jesus, love, sacrifice for others, giving, smiling, caring….those are the things that remain. Things may look different, but they are really the same. “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these if love.” ~1Corinthians 13:13 Hold on to what remains, and know that no matter what changes come into your life, God’s love for you remains steady and unchanging, always. Slainte, Lisa

A Prayer to Say Thank You

Posted on July 30, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

We cry, we hope, we call out to God to help. Sometimes the help is quick, but sometimes we don’t hear the answer that we think is best. And sometimes the answer to our prayers comes rushing in like a wave of hope, lifting us up with overwhelming love for God. And that’s how I am today….overwhelmed, thankful, grateful, loving God so much for His provision and lovingkindness. Thank you, God. “Praise the Lord! For he has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.” ~Psalm 28:6-7 Blessings, Lisa

Whatever you’re going through today, don’t give up. Keep talking to Jesus; He is listening with His whole heart.
