"GOD CARES ABOUT EVERY DETAIL"

I have changed my post around and put the Trivia Answers on bottom, so that I could change the pictures up better, and also get my message across first. Please tell me what you think, better, no, or indifferent?

Good Evening to All!

Are not two little sparrows sold for a penny? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's leave (consent) and notice. But even the vary hairs of your head are numbered. Fear not, then; you are of more value than many sparrows. (Matthew 10:29-31)

How many times have you heard, "don't pray about trivial things. God is only interested in the important decisions you have to make, or God isn't interested in the "everyday" aspects of your life, just the big important things. Well, I'm here to tell you according to God's Word that couldn't be further from the truth.

Just like a true friend is interested in everything about you, and what's happening in your life big or small, our Heavenly Father is also. After all He did call us "friend", and say He is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. (Proverbs 18:24).

Aren't you interested in all aspects of your children's lives? Everything from the kind of clothes they wear, to the friends they keep, to what they ate for lunch? That is called caring, and our God cares for us in the same way.

Through the power of the Holy spirit, God wants to talk to us not just every day, but several times every day. He wants to guide us away from all of the hindrances
of life and our loving relationship with Him and toward the good things that can help us bond more closely with Him and help us to have a more successful life in His arms. He has so many good things in store for us, yet if we allow the things of this world to get in the way, we can cause them to be delayed until we get back on track with God.

He care about the tiniest details of our lives. According to tonight's verses, He even keeps track of how many hairs we have on our heads. He cares about the desires of our hearts, and He definitely wants to reveal the truth about Him that will ease our worries and fears. We must remember that fear and worry are not from God. They are what the devil uses to keep us from having enough trust in God that He will protect us.

God's planned on having an intimate relationship from the very beginning, before you were even born. In Psalm 139:6 NIV, His Word says: "Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them can to be.

If we will just start our day off by asking Him what He wants for us that day, and to guide our steps, we will have total fulfillment with Him included in it.

If you will speak to Him, and allow Him to speak back to you by listening for that still quiet voice of His, His nudges will lead you in the right direction for every aspect of your life. He is a loving God who only wants the best for us, but can only be a part of our lives if we allow Him. He must be invited into our lives.

I have heard more times than I would like to admit people just going headlong with their own plans, and not asking God what He thought at all. Then, when the plans start falling a part, they blame God, or start questioning "why did He let this happen", or "it must not be God's Will". How can it be God's Will if we didn't include Him in the first place? Why is it "His fault if something goes haywire, when it wasn't His idea in the first place?

People need to wake up and take responsibility for their own actions and problems. If they aren't smart enough to ask the Father (who knows all, sees all and is all), for help, then they shouldn't blame Him.

We need to develop an intimate relationship with God and ask Him to be part of every aspect of our lives. I mean from waking up on time in the morning all through the day, big decisions, little decisions, it doesn't matter, He wants to be part of it. The more we ask Him for help, the greater our faith in Him grows and the closer we become to Him.

The Holy Spirit is as important to our being as breathing. We need to take notice of His nudgings and obey them just like we breath in and out. After all, God gave us this breath. HE breathed the breath of life into us. If His Spirit dwells within us, then He is just as important as our breath.

I hope that makes sense. I know what I am wanting to say, but sometimes I have trouble expressing myself.

Give the Holy Ghost a chance. Give Him Your undivided attention and allow Him to guide you. You can't go wrong with Him in the Lead.

The Key To Fulfillment

Good Evening to All!
Before I get involved in my postings, please let me say I am truly sorry for my intermittent posts as of late. For some reason, (I don't know if it is Windows updates, or HughesNet Satellite, but I am having a VERY hard time posting on my blog. Sometimes, it lets me type my posts but won't let me upload pictures to it, and then won't allow me to publish it. I have been trying to post since 8:30 this morning and am Just Now being allowed to carry through. This post I typed last night,(although I did changed the date and time for tonight, so as not to confuse anyone with the date.), but was unable to get any "new" pictures to put on it. I was shocked when it allowed me to get one out of my "picture folder". Anyway, I hope this is a good sign and it will let me continue to post from now on.

***********************************************

Thus says the Lord of hosts: Consider your ways and set your mind on what has come to you. (Haggai 1:5)

************************************************
This scripture was spoken during the time when the Lord was ready for His people to rebuild the temple, but the people had decided that building the temple was not important.

A little preface to this verse is: (3) Then the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, saying (4) "Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, and this temple to lie in ruins?" (5) Now therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts: "Consider your ways!

(6) You have sown much and bring in little; You eat, but do not have enough; You drink, but you are not filled with drink; You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; And he who earns wages, Earns wages to put into a bag with holes."

Reference: NKJV--Consider your ways: The people were asked to mull over their habits and activities and to ask whether their attitude was sensible before the LORD.

*********************************************************
God has a great big, wonderful, fulfilling life planned for you and me, but if we are stubborn (see Exodus 22:2) or hard-hearted, then we will miss what He has for us. Stubbornness and refusal to hear and obey God's voice keep us set in our ways and unable to make progress. When we find ourselves in this condition, we often fail to stop and ask ourselves what the problem is.

Tonight's verse recounts a time when God's people were dissatisfied and experiencing many problems, so God told them to consider their ways. Many times when people are not fulfilled in life , they look everywhere except within themselves to find the reason. If you are unfulfilled in your life, do as God told the Old Testament people to do and "consider your ways." Ask God to speak to you about "your ways," and pay attention to what He says. I have had to do this many times, and I have had to make changes in my thinking, my motives, or my behavior as a result.

As I considered my ways over time, I found I was stubborn, hard-headed, opinionated, proud, and many other things that kept me from making progress. But, thank God, He has changed me! I pray He keeps on changing me and never stops.

I want everything God wants me to have and nothing He doesn't . I belong to Him and so do you. He wants you to have a happy, blessed, and wonderful life, full of satisfaction and fulfillment. If you aren't living that kind of life, take time to consider your ways; ask God to show you what needs to change, and then do what He tells you to do.

God's Word for You Tonight: Don't be afraid to face truth about yourself, because it sets (makes) you free. John 8:32 KJV--And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.
I like this version because the word because the word "Set" means to put into a particular place or position. To adjust. To "make" means to bring into existence. To cause to be or become
NOT “set us free”, but make us free.

Of course I feel compelled to say I know that this verse is speaking of Jesus and His teachings, as He IS the way, the truth and the light, but it can also make us free in the sense that when we face the truth about ourselves we can correct our mistakes or repent and ask forgiveness. There is not one of us alive who doesn't need to do these two things. Paul, even a devout a Christian and disciple of Christ as he was, said He died daily ( repented and asked forgiveness). Turned away from his old ways. If we face our truth, then we have nothing we feel we have to hide. Not that we can hide the truth anyway. GOD SEES ALL.
Good Night and May God Bless!
