AWE- ALMIGHTY GOD!
Make My Life Excellent In You-Constant In Your Courage
I Kimberly Ann McCarthy am determined to be found in the Love of Christ that has been lavished upon me with such abundance. Infinitely So! I will gratefully and with thanksgiving receive this great love of my AWE-GOD and love everyone, everyday, everywhere!
1 Peter 1:3-7
Praised (honored, blessed) be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)! By His boundless mercy we have been born again to an ever-living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 [Born anew] into an inheritance which is beyond the reach of change and decay [imperishable], unsullied and unfading, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are being guarded (garrisoned) by God's power through [your] faith [till you fully inherit that [a]final] salvation that is ready to be revealed [for you] in the last time. 6 [You should] be exceedingly glad on this account, though now for a little while you may be distressed by trials and suffer temptations, 7 So that [the genuineness] of your faith may be tested, [your faith] which is infinitely more precious than the perishable gold which is tested and purified by fire. [This proving of your faith is intended] to redound to [your] praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) is revealed.
Amplified Bible
charles spurgeon devotional
Charles Spurgeon "Wait on the Lord."
Psalm 27:14
It may seem an easy thing to wait, but it is one of the postures which a Christian soldier learns not without years of teaching. Marching and quick-marching are much easier to God's warriors than standing still. There are hours of perplexity when the most willing spirit, anxiously desirous to serve the Lord, knows not what part to take. Then what shall it do? Vex itself by despair? Fly back in cowardice, turn to the right hand in fear, or rush forward in presumption? No, but simply wait. Wait in prayer, however. Call upon God, and spread the case before him; tell him your difficulty, and plead his promise of aid. In dilemmas between one duty and another, it is sweet to be humble as a child, and wait with simplicity of soul upon the Lord. It is sure to be well with us when we feel and know our own folly, and are heartily willing to be guided by the will of God. But wait in faith. Express your unstaggering confidence in him; for unfaithful, untrusting waiting, is but an insult to the Lord. Believe that if he keep you tarrying even till midnight, yet he will come at the right time; the vision shall come and shall not tarry. Wait in quiet patience, not rebelling because you are under the affliction, but blessing your God for it. Never murmur against the second cause, as the children of Israel did against Moses; never wish you could go back to the world again, but accept the case as it is, and put it as it stands, simply and with your whole heart, without any self-will, into the hand of your covenant God, saying, "Now, Lord, not my will, but thine be done. I know not what to do; I am brought to extremities, but I will wait until thou shalt cleave the floods, or drive back my foes. I will wait, if thou keep me many a day, for my heart is fixed upon thee alone, O God, and my spirit waiteth for thee in the full conviction that thou wilt yet be my joy and my salvation, my refuge and my strong tower."
We are too busy to pray, and so we are too busy to have power. We have a great deal of activity, but we accomplish little; many services but few conversions; much machinery but few results.
R. A. Torrey
Worthy News Brief @worthyemail.com
Even in the midst of all the chaos, distress or crises beyond our control, we must rest, trusting that we're safe in the loving arms of the Father. We shouldn't have a care in the world.
Kimberly, is your world being shaken right now? Know that God is holding you today. No matter what you're facing, you can trust Him to cover you. Just lay back and enjoy the ride!
Your family in the Lord with much agape love, George, @worthyemail
*My THOUGHTS: GODS THOUGHTS = My Learning=Heart Change*
Shaken! Oh My Gosh! Yes! Nothing is going as I planned in my life. Even coming to Georgia was different than what I thought would be happening. All I know is that I am in God's perfect will, according to His purpose and that has to be simply-significantly enough for me. I am way, way out of my comfort zone so that puts me way, way into a trusting God principle-purpose-precinct!
Excerpts-Thoughts From The Bridegroom's Voice
Tue. Aug 30th 2011 My Thoughts: From The Bridegroom's Voice Week 2
- I will teach you how to side step the tornados that suddenly arise in your path and I will give you the wisdom of how to stand safely outside these temporary whirlwinds of your enemy until they spin out.
- This is a wisdom I desperately need. My mind gets filled with these tornados and as I chase them, the emotional devastation is great.
- Holy Spirit, teach me the wisdom of waiting out these mind-tornados my enemy spins up with "What If" circulations, tempests of doubt, fear, anxiety.
- Lies, doubts, fears, anxieties will eventually spin out, only truth has to power to prevail. Wait on God, and every untruth spun in your mind will unravel.
Matthew 25:11-13
Later the other virgins also came and said, Lord, Lord, open [the door] to us! 12 But He replied, I solemnly declare to you, I do not know you [I am not acquainted with you]. 13Watch therefore [give strict attention and be cautious and active], for you know neither the day nor the hour when the Son of Man will come.
Amplified Bible Copyright © 1954, 1958, 1962, 1964, 1965, 1987 by The Lockman Foundation
- We can get so busy with all the whirlwinds the enemy spins in our mind, that we are missing out on the real things that are happening, the God Things.
- Be cautious. Be ready for each day, by guarding my heart with the truth and promises of God.
- Know God. My relationship with God should be my number one priority. I should not be chasing the tornados the enemy spins, I should be still before my God in AWE with my ears listening for His voice. This is how my day should start.
- Every day I should anticipate the adventure I will be on with Awe-GOD and not start my day dreading the things I my enemy will throw in my path.

Sometimes…
When there is nothing left, let Your healing come, until we are rising up, let Your healing come. Where You go, we will follow. It is Your love we adore, we are lost in You, Jesus.
When we've given up, let Your healing come. When there's nothing left, let Your healing Come. Where You go we will follow. Jesus!
Don't be afraid! Where You Go, We Will Follow! I am on my knees, lost in You, Jesus.
Sometimes everyone of us feels like we will never be healed. Sometimes everyone of us aches, likes we'll never be saved. When we've given up, let Your healing come.

There's never a holiday in the spiritual realm...nothing but the full armor of God will ever suffice us in this terrible conflict in which we are engaged. There is no protection...against this wily, subtle, powerful enemy but the full armor of God himself.

Your son is so blessed to have been given you as a mom, you are a Bright Light in his life at a time where a lot of parents have just stopped encouraging their kids, you keep glowing God's glory and truth. I pray for more parents like you. Age of our children, never breaks the divine connection God put between us. Our society says so, our culturalism demands it... but we, God's family need to keep that divine connection open between our children, no matter what their age because it was a gift from God, a divine responsibility to train up, share wisdom and now and always love them and love is never without the wisdom of God flowing to and from each other . You are a blessing!

Isn't that the truth Brian! He is with you, He is for you and the cool thing is God's work is never finished, the devil may be at work, but he won't be finishing it. God has the final say and in that there is huge hope. God always finishes what He starts, the devil messes God makes miracles. AWE-GOD! He is being, He was being, He will always be... Nothing can stop God from being, so be assured in that. Take Care
Fun! No matter what age you are, fun is a state of mind. It is an attitude, it is the way you live your life! John Maxwell

Pastor Wimbish Nehemiah: Fight
Nehemiah went to rebuild the wall and establish the city as a place of honor.
If you are not a threat to the enemy, he won't mess with you. When you start doing what God has called you to, you have a target on your back. If he is messing with you, you are doing something right. Nehemiah faced a lot of ridicule and his enemies plotted to kill them. Nehemiah 4: When I saw their fear, I rose and spoke to the officials, do not be afraid to them, remember the Lord Who is great and awesome and fight for your daughters, sons, wives and houses. Focus in on God's call and grow through adversity. The enemy is gunning for us, remind yourself as Nehemaih reminded his men, The Lord is great and awesome and we are fighting for Him for our family, friends and culture. God has us in a great story that has already been won, so keep fighting for your family, friends and culture

Hi Todd! You have a wonderful mom! One of the coolest things about God is He was, He is and He will ALWAYS be. God is always being and for sure you, Todd, will have an Advocate Who is always BEING for you. God Is For You! Never Forget That! So when this AWE-GOD takes you down an unfamiliar road that you are not at all comfortable with, just "grow with it" because His Kingdom purposes are always in play for your good, you can count on that Todd. So my wisdom is to always "Give God Time To Work", don't be impulsive when He breaches your comfort zone. Stay Put, Positioned In His Grace, Trusting Him, Because You Know All Things Seen Will Eventually Be All Kingdom Good, As Your Advocate God Works Out His Sovereign Will From The Unseen Into Your Seen Reality! Enjoy College Todd! God Bless You Much!
Verse Of The Day@biblegateway.com
Ephesians 2:18-20
For it is through Him that we both [whether far off or near] now have an introduction (access) by one [Holy] Spirit to the Father [so that we are able to approach Him]. 19 Therefore you are no longer outsiders (exiles, migrants, and aliens, excluded from the rights of citizens), but you now share citizenship with the saints (God's own people, consecrated and set apart for Himself); and you belong to God's [own] household. 20 You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself the chief Cornerstone.
Thoughts As I Listen To Ephesians Chapter Two:
I was dead in sin. I followed the ways of this world. Gratifying the cravings of what I wanted. Nature wrathful. God who is rich in mercy made me alive in Christ even when I was dead in sin. It is by Grace I have been saved. God has raised me up with Christ. His grace is expressed in kindness towards me. It is by grace I have been saved, through faith. It is not about me or what I can do, It is God's gift. I am God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works, things God prepared I advance for me. I was separate from Christ, excluded and without hope. But in Christ Jesus I have been brought near to God through the blood of Christ. Jesus destroys the hostility by abolishing the law by His crucifixion. Reconciling me to God through the cross. Jesus came and preached peace and through Him I have access to the father God by the Holy Spirit. I am a citizen, a member of God's household, Jesus as the chief cornerstone…. We are his building that rises to become the Holy Temple fo the Lord. I am a dwelling by which God lives by His Spirit.
Lost in sin, following the ways of the world, I was the manager and owner of my life. Then came Jesus! Now He owns me! #WednesdayWanted

God Of The City!
Psalm 139 ~ The Amplified Bible
1O LORD, you have searched me [thoroughly] and have known me. 2You know my downsitting and my uprising; You understand my thought afar off. 3You sift and search out my path and my lying down, and You are acquainted with all my ways. 4For there is not a word in my tongue [still unuttered], but, behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. 5You have beset me and shut me in--behind and before, and You have laid Your hand upon me 6Your [infinite] knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high above me, I cannot reach it. 7Where could I go from Your Spirit? Or where could I flee from Your presence? 8If I ascend up into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol (the place of the dead), behold, You are there. 9If I take the wings of the morning or dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10Even there shall Your hand lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me. (MSG)
Exhortation- The Shepherd's Communicated Love-Wisdom!
Hey everyone!
Just thinking about our class last night and had a few comments:
Sometimes… life just stinks! You never planned to be where you are, but you know God has allowed it to touch your life. He owns your life. You are His manager of your life that He owns and you follow after the Owner of your life and this is dependence you declare every day as you seek God 1st. God is the owner, you are the manager. You can't manage your life very well without being led by the Owner. He holds the keys to the house!
The greatest place to be is a position where you have given up. Okay Lord! I surrender! You don't know your next step, everything is unfamiliar and you are so way out of your comfort zone. I love the song: Something by David Crowder band ( I put a link to it below) because it says exactly how I have felt and feel at times. Knowing your next step truly is all about surrender, giving up and looking to God, waiting on Him, learning to trust that "He's Got This" even when it looks and feels like He doesn't!! Faith is not looking at the seen and wishing for comfort and ease, faith is believing in the unseen and hoping for God's Kingdom to come into your reality on earth as it is in heaven.
Why do we wait on God, well many reasons but one comes to mind about us being so torn up by life, by the consequences of our sins and the sins of others, this is not a place where we can make a functional decision, but when we turn to God, we abandoned ourselves to His Love, we seek Him 1st, then He heals us and this is the 1st part of His guiding us, healing our emotions and giving us eyes to see the truth about our heart motives and where we are in our life relationship with Him.
When we get lost in Jesus, the One Who holds our future then through His eyes, we will see our next step and the peace and stability of His life is what we follow. We can get so lost in God, so lost in His Love that all we eventually will see and feel the desire to grow and go and go for Him alone. Life then stops being about us and what we want and begins to be about following God for what He desires. Then it doesn't matter where He sends us, because we know He is with us, for us and His Kingdom purposes through us will make an eternal mark in our lives.

Christ is Wisdom
"We preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God." 1 Corinthians 1:23-24
Christ is the wisdom of God, so to know Him is to know and understand godly wisdom. The life of Jesus illustrates for us wisdom and His teaching educates us in wisdom. It's in relationship with God the Son that Christians are able to grow in godly wisdom. The source of wise counsel is found in Christ—like pure water bubbles from the crevice of a remote mountain rock, so God's living water of truth flows from the heart of Jesus.
Because wisdom starts with Jesus, it is necessary to first enter into a personal relationship with Christ. The Holy Scriptures declare a Savior who is looking to love all those who come to Him in faith and repentance. Salvation in Jesus Christ is the first step required to obtain His wisdom. Fear of God leads to faith in God—which can then access the wisdom of God. So, have you placed your faith in Jesus Christ? If so you are very wise.
"Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus" (2 Timothy 3:15b).
Since we have access to wisdom through faith in Jesus, then it is wise to lean into understanding His ways. We can anticipate—like a starved man or woman coming off of a ten-day hunger strike—we have a smorgasbord of truth at our disposal. His wisdom is rich in relational nutrients, financial nourishment and emotional energy. Your Savior Jesus is not stingy with His counsel—He liberally gives wisdom to those He loves.
As the personification of wisdom we look and see a man who unconditionally loved people. He loved the rich and the poor—He loved all races—He loved male and female alike—He loved city folks and country dwellers—the educated and uneducated felt His fierce love—Kings and commoners did not escape His all-consuming compassion. Jesus, the all-wise one, initiated conversations of wisdom—He went to the people with wisdom.
Who in your circle of influence is hungry for you to love by passing on to them the wisdom of Christ? Once you discover His freeing truth, you are responsible to pay it forward by faith to other hungry hearts. Lead people to the waters of Christ's wisdom and they will never thirst again. Not only do you give a cup of wisdom in Jesus' name, but you show them how to draw from the deep well of His wisdom. Jesus is the wisdom of God.
"Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts" (Colossians 3:16).
How can I grow to better know Christ by gaining His wisdom found in the Holy Scriptures?
Related Readings: Romans 16:27; 1 Corinthians 1:30; Ephesians 1:17; Colossians 1:28
1 Corinthians 1:30 New International Version (NIV)
30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.
Ephesians 1:17
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[a] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
