Cacophony

As I was laying in bed, I heard God say, "cacophony".  Immediately, I turned over and got my pen and paper out of my bedside table drawer and jotted it down.  I wasn't sure of the spelling, but did the best I could.  I wish I had asked God, "What do you mean?  What else do I need to know?"  But, I didn't think to do that.  Later, I looked up the meaning.  

cacophony (n) : harsh or discordant sound : dissonance 2; specifically :harshness in the sound of words or phrases

cacophony synonyms:   discord, discordance, dissonance, disharmony, unmusicality, harshness, unmelodiousness, stridency, loudness, noise

Is God warning of something?  I believe He is.

Submit Each Day to God

I have begun to submit each day to God and allow Him to plan my activities.  This morning one of our employees called in sick, so I will go to work, rather than having a day off as planned.  In the past, I would have become upset because my "little plans" had been messed up.  But, by submitting my day to God, I know this is what he would have me do today.  

God reminded me that no matter where I am or what I am doing, I should yield my heart to him.  It isn't always easy to submit, but I am learning to become obedient.  Obedience is greater than sacrifice.  

I hope you have a blessed day as you enjoy God's beauty.

In HIS Steps Always, 

Judy

Home Church

We had a wonderful service this morning at "Home Church".  We don't have an official name because we've never felt led to call it by anything other than "Home Church."  God showed out this morning blessing us with healings and deliverance.  We praise His name for all that he does!

I am happy to have this group of people in my life who are willing to speak truths and offer their prayers.  When I retired from teaching, I asked God to put Godly people in my life.  I'm now surrounded by beautiful people who have beautiful hearts and are on fire for God.

In HIS Steps Praising HIS Name,

Preparation is the Key

God shares with me the importance of preparation.  He says:

Continue seeking me and never lose hope.  I am your strength and your Rock.  I am He who comes to bless you.  Know this!  Know I am He who has come to set the captives free.  Never underestimate my ways, nor my timing.

Be of good cheer, Dear child.  Much comes.  Much comes to those who wait.  Be blessed during the "waiting times" knowing that preparation comes during the waiting.  I know it seems unfair at times, but it is my gift to you--preparation.  I do not send my children out unprepared.  Many are struggling in the fields because they "jumped out" too soon!  The preparation is the most important part of the journey and sometimes the hardest part.

Know my love would never allow you to be thrust into the midst of something you didn't know how to handle.  So, waiting upon me is my precious gift and my time to work within you to prepare you, for the snares of the devil will try to entangle you.  But, with my hand upon you and my preparation "under your belt" his attacks are thrawted.  Know he may try and yes you will have battles, but you will have the tools to use when the attacks come.

In His Steps During Preparation,
Judy
