The Sheltered Path

Posted on January 14, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

Earlier on this particular day, it was windy, so much so that we couldn’t open our car doors at the beach. But we got to this wooded and sheltered path, just 5 miles down the road, and the wind was still. It was warm and cozy and protected.

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’ ” ~Psalm 91:1-2 We all long to be safe, protected, loved, secure. Run to the arms of Jesus; He will keep you right where you’ve always needed to be. Blessings, Lisa

God Knows No Distance

“If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.” ~Psalm 139:9-10

Sometimes our feelings say that God is far away, but He’s always right here, right now. It’s usually me who has moved away. The amazing thing is that as soon as I say His name, “Jesus….” , the distance is breached. We’re close, He’s listening. Be encouraged today. Slainte, Lisa

Leaving Home

Posted on December 23, 2013 by lyonsroarforgod

For many people, Christmas means travel. Travel from one home to another. From one town to a city. From a huge metropolis out to the country. But it usually entails leaving the place you call home and going out to another place.

Mary and Joseph had to travel on that very first Christmas. They had to leave their hometown of Nazareth and travel many days, with extremely pregnant Mary, on a donkey, to the town of Bethlehem. All the local inns were booked solid, and Mary was going to have the baby soon. The barn that they found themselves staying at was probably not in their plans. But once that precious baby was born, Jesus, Savior for all people, the surroundings were perfect, beautiful, magical, holy. Because Christmas is not about the perfect place, or the perfect home, or the perfect present. Christmas is Jesus. And He makes all things perfect. 🙂 If you don’t have travel plans this Christmas, consider traveling to Bethlehem and that stable. Blessings, Lisa

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” ~James 1:17

Peace in Song

The Friday before Christmas, and all through the house, not a shopper was shopping, not even the mouse. I declare today a NON shopping day; we have everything and more that we could possibly need and what is really needed is peace. What I really need is to be thankful that Jesus came, and have the space and time to be able to appreciate that. Here is the amazingly talented Cara Dillon’s version of “O Holy Night” to help you and me both. Blessings for your weekend, Lisa

Rock Eternal

“You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal.” ~Isaiah 26:3-4

Peace does not come from the perfect present, a spotless house, the most delicious fudge ever made. Peace comes from Jesus, who descended from perfect Heaven into this world because He loves us. That is love, that is sacrifice, that is peace. Blessings, Lisa
