When we go sailing, it may be necessary to get our sea legs under us. Having “sea legs” means we have made a bodily adjustment to the motion of the ship indicated especially by the ability to walk steadily and by freedom from seasickness. In other words, no matter what havoc the sea decides to throw at our boat, we will be able to function securely.

Now think of the sea as life’s vicissitudes. The wave of financial reversal may wash across the deck. The wind of the unexpected death of a family member or close friend may threaten to blow you off course. And the lightning strike of a failed relationship might blind you momentarily and come menacingly close to burning down your main mast. In the midst of the storm, when there’s nothing else you can do, trust God to supply you with sea legs.

Habakkuk 3:19 says, “The LORD God is my strength; he will make my feet like deer’s feet, and He will make me walk on my high hills” (NKJ). Certain types of deer inhabit rocky hillsides. The only way they can climb up and down and survive in their habitat is because God has formed them with specially-designed feet. No matter what they face, they are able to function and walk effortlessly among stony obstacles.

Those deer’s feet are like sea legs. Look to God as your source of strength. Today, let Him give you the feet you need to walk effortlessly among your obstacles and the sea legs you need to stand steadily until you reach a friendly port.

Power Suit: The Armor of God Fit for the Feminine Frame from New Hope Publishers (http://www.newhopedigital.com/2010/08/power-suit/)

In the sixteenth chapter of The Revelation, seven angels are allowed to pour the wrath of God upon the earth and all kinds of bad stuff starts happening:

• foul and loathsome sores break out on those who have taken the mark of the beast upon themselves,
• the sea becomes blood and all the sea creatures die,
• the rivers and springs become blood so there’s no water to drink,
• the sun is affected so that it scorches people with its heat,
• etc.

God is obviously perturbed and you would think the people on earth would get the message; yet, not so. Read their reaction, “They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds” Revelation 16:11 (NKJ).

Not much had changed in hundreds of years. Just a few generations after Adam and Eve plundered mankind into sin, humans had gotten so rotten that we hear God saying, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh…” And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart” Genesis 6:3 and 6 (NKJ). God’s next thought was to just wipe everybody out. After all, He was well capable to start all over again. “So the LORD said, ‘I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them’” Genesis 6:7 (NKJ).

To what lengths do we push God before we decide to confess and repent? And by extension, to what lengths do we push our family and friends before we tell them we are sorry for something we’ve done that has hurt them? You see, confession is not only about us. Confession and repentance have to do with the person we have wronged. Yes, we ought feel bad about our wrongdoing, but a true confession has to do with the fact that we have hurt the other person, we feel his or her pain, and repentance comes in when we will make every effort to keep from doing that same thing again. It is not an apology to say, “I’m sorry you feel bad.” It is an apology to say, “I know I hurt you when I…, I did a wrong thing when I…, and I will not do it again.”

Our maturity as children of God can be measured by the length of time it takes us from the recognition of our sin to our confession and repentance. The shorter the time, the more mature we are becoming. Rather than going through levels of denial and arguments of justification, once we become aware we have sinned — that means we’ve hurt God or our fellow-man — our commitment to Christ ought to compel us to immediately confess it before God and turn from it. And if God is trying to get our attention through some form of discipline He’s sent, it’s a great idea to submit to His chastening quickly.

Why are we okay with hurting our spouses, children, other family members, and friends? Can we really blame people for having the thought like God had, I’m sorry I’m in this relationship.? Let’s not be the ones who fall under God’s wrath or move Him to say He’s sorry He made us.

Mary’s pregnancy ended in that stable because there was no room for the little family in the inn. After some moves, they ended up settling in the little town of Nazareth where it is said Jesus “…grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him” Luke 2:40 (NKJ). But Jesus had also grown in Mary’s womb. Like with all pregnancies, I’m sure that the larger He grew, the more she could feel Him move in her. Also toward the end of her pregnancy, others could probably see Him moving within her as well.

My wish for you today is that you allow Jesus to grow big in you. The larger you allow Him to grow in you, the more you will feel Him when He moves, and the more others will see Him moving in you.

Merry Christmas.

Power Suit: The Armor of God Fit for the Feminine Frame from New Hope Publishers (http://www.newhopedigital.com/2010/08/power-suit/)

As we approach another Christmas, many of us are in the throes of preparation. We’re preparing for Christmas morning by decorating the house and trimming the tree. We’re preparing for Christmas dinner by standing in long grocery store lines for just the right Butterball® turkey, Honey Baked® ham, and all the trimmings. We’re preparing for the arrival of out-of-town guests by vacuuming, dusting, and shining up the special dinnerware. And of course, we’re preparing to put smiles on the faces of our friends and loved ones by purchasing or creating and then lovingly wrapping just the right, special gift.

God did quite a bit of preparation too as He put everything in place for the first Christmas, getting that special Gift ready for us. He actually started working on that day way back in the Garden of Eden. Speaking to the serpent who had seduced Eve into eating the forbidden fruit, God said, “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel” Genesis 3:15 (NKJ). This sentence is called the Proto-evangelim. On the Truth for Today website, this verse is clearly explained:

• In one cryptic sentence, addressed to the Serpent, God divulges the plan of salvation… An individual from among the woman’s seed, namely Christ, shall deal a death blow and utter defeat to Satan at the cross, while Satan would bruise Christ’s heel, that is, cause Him to suffer.[1]

From that time on, God was working history to prepare for the first Christmas. Jesus Christ would be a descendent of Abraham, but Abraham had to be born and called, and then had to have a child. (That’s a long and interesting story in and of itself!) Jesus would be of the tribe of Judah, but Jacob (Judah’s daddy) had to be born and grow to have a “tribe.” Jesus would be a descendent of King David, but David had to first be born, have kids, and ascend to the throne when as yet – back in the beginning – the children of Israel (who also weren’t born yet) were not even ruled by a king.

God also dropped hints throughout Scripture of other first-Christmas preparatory details:

• Jesus would be born of a virgin. Isaiah 7:14
• He would be born in Bethlehem. Micah 5:2
• He would be from Nazareth. Isaiah 9:1-2

God went to a lot of trouble to give us our first Christmas gift – to come to us in the person of His Son. He put Himself in the womb of a young girl, Mary; and in the care of a young carpenter, Joseph. He restricted Himself to a small time and place with no cars, airplanes, telephones, or computers. So as we run around getting our last-minute details together for this Christmas, think of all the preparation that went into that first Christmas. Let’s not get so flustered in the “trouble” we have to go through to prepare for the day. It’s worth it to prepare in big ways for big events. God did it for us.

Hello Blog Followers,

Here’s something new for you today! Below is a link to a webinar I recorded entitled “Six Essentials for Parents to Leaving a Strong Legacy.” (Some computers will have the webinar screen right here in the blog.) The webinar is based upon part of my book Boomerangs to Arrows: A Godly Guide for Launching Young Adult Children (Judson Press). The introduction just shows a blue screen, but the webinar is accompanied by a power point.

Please share this webinar with parents of children of all ages. Parents of young children can set the groundwork early, and parents of young adults can either right the ship, add to the foundation they have started, or just be encouraged.

So copy and paste this link into your search bar (or just click the arrow) and enjoy! Merry Christmas!

On the journey, Sharon

P.S. The introduction to the webinar is correct in that my husband and I have 5 children between us, but I did not have the pleasure of raising my “bonus” children. I’ve worked at being a positive influence — their bonus mom — in their lives as they navigate their adulthood.

www.LifeThatMatters.net

David Gerrold said, “Life is hard. Then you die. Then they throw dirt in your face. Then the worms eat you. Be grateful it happens in that order.” Sometimes it just seems like we might as well give up. Life is hard. But we don’t want to give up; we want to keep believing that “the sun will come out tomorrow.” For every day, but especially for days when we feel like nothing is going right, God gave us a get-through-it formula through the apostle Peter.

“For he who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit. Let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their prayers; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil” 1 Peter 3:10-12 (NKJ).

That’s pretty clear, isn’t it? For those of us who love life (that’s us) and want to see good days (that’s us too), let me break this verse down for us. Here is the formula of three things to stop, three things to start, and one thing to keep you remembering those first six:

1. Refrain our tongue from evil – stop talking smack
2. Keep our lips from speaking deceit – stop trying to “get over”
3. Turn away from evil – stop messing up
4. Do good – start handling our business properly
5. Seek and pursue peace – start getting along
6. Pray because God’s eyes are on us and His ears are open to us – start turning to God on a regular basis
7. Realize that the Lord is against us if we do evil – remember that won’t be happy with us is we are screw-ups, so be sure to keep up with the first six.

Even when life around us is hard, the life within us will sustain us. So here’s the formula: stop, stop, stop; start, start, start; and remember.

As I sit enjoying Thanksgiving weekend football on television, I’m amazed by the precision of a quarterback’s pass. Disregarding the noise of the crowd, the QB must keep his eyes pealed downfield, usually in the face of 250 – 300 pound linemen rushing to make mincemeat of him if they can. He has to keep his cool, remember the route that was probably called from the sideline, and find his open man. Despite the imminent danger coming his way, he is often still able to thread the spiraling pigskin to his receiver between several defenders. A long completed pass is a thing of beauty.

Our sojourn in this life as believers is much like the job of the quarterback. We can’t be concerned about the noise of the crowd, all that society would tell us about how to live. We must only be concerned about the “plays” being called in from the sidelines – our Coach Jesus Christ, who is the Word of God (see John 1:14). Once we get the snap, we’ve got to keep our eyes pealed down toward the end of the field. We must not be deterred by the attackers rushing our way, but trust the blockers provided by the Holy Spirit so we can complete whatever God-given assignment that has been laid out before us. A life well-lived is a thing of beauty.

First Peter 4:7 tells us that “the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers” (NKJ). Like a great quarterback toward the end of a big game, we need to be “serious and watchful” so we can make it successfully to the end. We want to hear our Coach say, “Well done.”

Power Suit: The Armor of God Fit for the Feminine Frame from New Hope Publishers (http://www.newhopedigital.com/2010/08/power-suit/)

            In the book of Ezekiel, God gives the prophet all kinds of specific details about the temple and how the people of God should act in relation to it. Ezekiel 46:9 especially caught my attention. “But when the people of the land come before the Lord on the appointed feast days, whoever enters by way of the north gate to worship shall go out by way of the south gate; and whoever enters by way of the south gate shall go out by way of the north gate. He shall not return by way of the gate through which he came, but shall go out through the opposite gate” (NKJ).

            Every Sunday after the sermon, when my pastor extends the invitation for people to come into a saving knowledge of Jesus, he says, “We don’t want you to leave the same way you came.” Until reading Ezekiel 46:9, I took those words to apply only to those people who were realizing a need for a new relationship with Christ, or to those who had fallen away—the backsliders—and now wanted to renew that relationship. But now I see my pastor’s words in a new light.

         None of the altar call invitations may apply to us, but we all “shall not return by way of the gate through which he came, but shall go out through the opposite gate.” In other words, I believe this is speaking to us today to say that every time we read the Bible, hear a sermon or read a Christian book, we should be changed because we have been within earshot of the Master’s voice.

            Let’s listen for the word from God every time someone’s preaching or teaching. We can make it a habit to listen with our ears when someone is speaking the message, with our eyes when someone has written the message, and with our hearts in both circumstances. And after we’ve heard, may we leave different.

Power Suit: The Armor of God Fit for the Feminine Frame from New Hope Publishers (http://www.newhopedigital.com/2010/08/power-suit/)

In 2000, I missed Thanksgiving. I was in Europe on a Tale of Two Cities field trip. The school vacation days made that time of year the best time for us to go. Our group had a fabulous time in London doing incredible things like seeing Big Ben and touring Buckingham Palace. After several days there, we headed to Paris. The Louvre is all it’s cracked up to be, as is the palace at Versailles, and of course, the Eiffel Tower. But even though we woke up in the city of lights, since that country did not have that holiday, Thanksgiving morning was incredibly strange. There would be no turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, yams, green beans, monkey bread, pumpkin pie, peach cobbler, etc. No one in the whole country was doing anything differently, thinking of visiting family, or focusing especially on being thankful.

By missing Thanksgiving I realized how much the holiday meant to me. I absolutely crave spending that day with those I love the most. The smells and tastes of the day bring back the wonderful memories of Thanksgivings past with my parents, my grandmother, my siblings, and special family friends around the tables.

This year, my husband and I are blessed once again to celebrate the Thanksgiving meal with family and friends. How thankful we are to have a place to be—to be special. We’re also grateful to know that we’re special every day, not only to our people here on earth, but to God. He has called us “a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people” (I Peter 2:9 NKJ).

Whether you are eating today at a table of one or in a group of 30 or more, smile and know that you are one of God’s special people. Be thankful for every breath, a sound mind, and a heart open to the love of God and others. Happy Thanksgiving!

Power Suit: The Armor of God Fit for the Feminine Frame from New Hope Publishers (http://www.newhopedigital.com/2010/08/power-suit/)

As we enter the end-of-the-year holiday season, I think back on being a child. It seemed to take Christmas so long to get here. Even so, I loved all the preparations that made the big day so exciting. Hunting for and finding the perfect live tree, and then helping Daddy center it in the tree stand so it stood straight and tall in our living room window. It was my responsibility to keep water filled in the stand so the tree would be fresh and safe through the few weeks it resided over the gifts. I loved decorating that tree, shopping for something special for each family member, wrapping those gifts, placing the mistletoe somewhere overhead, hanging the lights outside, planning the meal, helping Momma cook. Oh, I just loved everything about Christmas—except the wait. Patience was tough.

But now as I think about it, Christmas had to take that long every year or else all that went into making the day perfect wouldn’t have gotten done. The care we took to strategically place one piece of tinsel at a time looked much better on the tree than the just-toss-handfuls decorating technique. The buttery perfection of monkey bread could not be rushed faster than its two-day process. One shopping trip was rarely enough to locate the exact gift that would make each person’s eyes light up on Christmas morning.

As we enter the holiday season this year, let’s consider that the things for which we are desperately praying are like waiting for Christmas. We don’t know why God is taking so long to bring some things to pass, but we must trust that preparations are being made. The longer and more focused the prep, the better and more phenomenal the deliverance or healing or progress or change. James 5:7-8 encourages us to “be patient… See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.”

Christmas is coming; wait for that. Jesus’ answer is coming for your situation; wait for that. And ultimately, Jesus is physically coming; wait for that! In the meantime, let’s occupy ourselves by playing our part in the exciting preparations.
