IN NEED OF YOUR PRAYERS

Trust in the Lord with all  your heart.
Don't put the weight of your faith 
on your five senses.

In everything and in every way 
Seek God's wisdom, knowledge, understanding and discernment.
Then He will guide you along your journey.

The Wisdom Writer: Solomon From Proverbs 3:5-6

     There are not too many of us, who are genuinely Christ Followers, that can go through the day with out the Almighty serving as our journey guide.  Sooner or later we need to make choices that are far better, if we seek first God's Kingdom and His righteousness. Now if we do not need to know His will, then we are living independent of God.  And we are not demonstrating any kind of "fruit" that shows that we are indeed truly Christ Followers. Being a Christ Follower is defined as a person denying one's self taking up the Cross and following Him. So we do need Him to show the way each day, and we need God's people to pray.

     In this blog, I try to be one who gives to you an encouraging word.  I try to come alongside of my readers, metaphorically speaking, and sojourn with you in hopes of helping you become a person of God, who seeks to be empowered by God, receiving the grace of God so as to glorify God with your life.  And even though I do not know most of you, I pray for everyone who reads my blog, wherever you are in the world. I have been surprised just how international this blog has become. I believe God hears and answers those prayers daily.

     Well today I am asking for your prayers:  No there is no one sick or dying in my family that I know about.   But still I need your prayers because I have obeyed God and written a book entitled Rock Solid Living In A Quicksand World.  For more details about this book go to:

The writing of the book was challenging, joy building and inspiring.  The editing of the book - by paid professionals - was humbling for sure. The biggest challenge is how do I get the book out there to sell. Self publishing comes completely out of the authors funds, and it "ain't" cheap. Some are buying it, and the comments are favorable, but I have a burning in my soul for the words of this book to make their way into a suffering world... the world whose foundations are crumbling.  I am really hoping that those who have read it, and said such favorable things to me, will go to their FaceBook and Twitter accounts, etc. and tell other about their journey  with Rock-Solid Living. I am hoping they will share their viewpoint, not only with friends but with the public.

    This brings me to the prayer part that is guided by the scripture above.  I really do trust in the Lord, and by His grace, I do so with all my heart.  Though it challenges me, I make a sincere effort to not let circumstances or my senses hinder my trust in Him. And I do seek His wisdom.  I really want Him to direct my path.  But I also need your prayers.  Please pray I would listen clearly on God's strategy for getting this book out.  I don't need the money so much, but I do need a way to fund the sale or find a way to make the book more sales worthy.  So please pray.

God Bless You

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #20 Shake A Little Salt

  The Challenge of Having An Unsavory Life. We live in a world where a whole lot of people are suffering:  Many struggle spiritually. Others,  because of their spiritual issue, have emotional struggles. Still others have relationships that are strained. Financial issues also may be added into the mix; additionally, physical challenges,  or health challenges, are a part of this. Mix a little high pace, and rarely slowing down in life, and you can see something is really going on impacting life in a negative way. In other words  all of these, plus any number of other things experienced in the 21st century, contribute to people experiencing unsavory lives. Jesus Speaking to You and M e Jesus has something to say about this. And He wants each of us to help out by, first beginning to embrace our identity. He wants us "become" so we match our identity, and if we don't, we really miss out and mess up.  Check out what He says, as He expressly tells us who we are. A...

Looking Back To Have A Future: Overcoming Storms

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #1 Therefore, anyone who hears the words of mine-- and puts them into practice -- is like a wise man who built his house on a rock: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house; yet, it did not fall, because it had its foundation on THE ROCK! BUT Everyone who hears these words of mine, and does NOT put them into practice, is like a foolish man who built his house on sand: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house. And IT FELL WITH A GREAT CRASH! Jesus (Matthew 7:24-27 S T O R M S Storms seem to come into everyone's life. Some experience more, and others experience less; however, the winds of adversity do, indeed, come. Some even howl like a Category-5  hurricane that beats relentlessly on the shores of people's lives. Dear Christ Follower, some of you know precisely what I am saying. And I am here to tell you Jesus provides us with Stepping Stones fo...

2024 Let God Help Make Your Life Beautiful

Ready or Not Here It Comes Leap year is upon us. Yep! We get to have one extra day on the calendar of 2024. And as the new year opens up before our very eyes, whatever we bring into this year -- good, bad, happy or sad -- will be a part of the fabric of this new year. For some of us this will be challenging. Why? Because some are really struggling with what is going on in our culture. Many are having to grapple with spiritual, emotional, relational, financial and/or physical struggles. And just because people are saying "HAPPY NEW YEAR" these challenges are still very real. So, how are we to get ready for this if the new year, in focus, appears anything but happy? But Remember -- God I have learned that when life meets us head on, it is important to think of all these challenges, but remember God:  As Christ Followers, you and I are not in this journey alone, and as the ancient wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3:11a teaches, "God makes ALL things beautiful in it's time." ...
