Psalm 31: 23-24
O love the Lord, all you His saints! The Lord preserves the faithful, and plentifully pays back him who deals haughtily. 24 Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for and hope for and expect the Lord!
Holy Spirit, Help Me Align My Life With This Word Of God Wisdom!
Psalm 31: 19 Oh, how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear, revere, and worship You, goodness which You have wrought for those who trust and take refuge in You before the sons of men! 20 In the secret place of Your presence You hide them from the plots of men; You keep them secretly in Your pavilion from the strife of tongues.21 Blessed be the Lord! For He has shown me His marvelous loving favor when I was beset as in a besieged city.22 As for me, I said in my haste and alarm, I am cut off from before Your eyes. But You heard the voice of my supplications when I cried to You for aid. O love the Lord, all you His saints! The Lord preserves the faithful, and plentifully pays back him who deals haughtily. 24 Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for and hope for and expect the Lord!
Developing My AWE-GOD With An Attitude Of Gratitude!
2012 AWE-God Gratefulness! I can trust in You, Lord Jesus! You are faithful. Your Presence is forever for me. You are always good and as I flip Your Goodness to my gratefulness, my AWE of You develops strength and courage in me that trumps my impulsive fear nature with a joy that knows a God-Vigor like no other human strength. I can't – YOU CAN! I cry out to you in my weak state and secured is my spirit, because my heart is safeguarded in Your Favor and my soul is saturated in Your Infinite quiet. Be still restless soul and know Great God Goodness! Restlessness is an impulsive thief in the long nights of oppressive human condition, yet AWE-GOD always delivers me, not by the way I want, but by way of His Perfect-Provisional-Purpose, He is my Way-Maker. Bowing before God in humble reverence and complete submission, I completely yield my human comfort-preference and my life-path is paved in huge expectation, hope and trust in AWE-GOD! Bowed before Him, I arise leaving all things me at His feet and with my 1st step up, I stride right into the Kingdom purposes, God's Sovereignty puts in play in my life. In the Kingdom purpose flow of my AWE-GOD, I am set free of the snares and pitiful traps of my enemy and delivered by God, in Great God Style to His safe house, my refuge and my hiding place.
Omnipresent Reality Check! God's Safe House Is His Presence, A Refuge Saturated By His Goodness. Infinitely So! AWE-GOD'S Presence Is A Hiding Place Where, Our Human Condition Is Discarded At The Door Of His Heart And His Holy Spirit Envelops The All Of Us, Anointing Our Heads With The Oil Of His Favor, Saturating Our Soul In His Great Strength And Positioning Us In The Current Of His Courage! Equal To None Other Is His Great Goodness!
Impulsive anxiety runs me into the dead end of my human condition; this is the endgame of my enemy who craftily tempts me daily to exchange God's Truth for his lies, therefore devising to steal my joy, peace and strength. BUT God in His Great Goodness delivers me from these enemy traps and teaches me the infinite value of followship. If I chase things of human value, I end up in a pit dug by my enemy. If I diligently pursue AWE-GOD and His Kingdom Purpose, following Jesus and yielding to the promptings of His Holy Spirit, my heart experiences AWE of God!
Omnipresent Reality Check! I will experience and learn the AWE of God's Great Goodness through daily interaction with His Holiness and consistent relationship with the purity of His Heart Character. God's Favor positions me daily in Holy Alignment with God's Great Goodness, and in this atmosphere my AWE of Him develops! AWE of God is the 1st step to having a consistent life-pace of trust. Trust follows AWE and is always accompanied by God's courage, to journey with us to His place of refuge.
Awe-God's Great Goodness Set's My Heart Attitude Up In God-Strength, And Paves My Way With The Refuge Of His Favor And The Safety Of His Strength! Developing My AWE-GOD Through Gratefulness And Praise Of His Great Goodness, Has Taught Me That AWE Of God Is The Safe House Of My Soul, Where Every Attitude Is Saturated In Hope And Every Action Is Stepped Out In Purposeful God-Strength And Yields A Great God Goodness In Abundance, More Than I Could Have Ever Dreamed Of, Hoped For Or Imagined! AWE-GOD! Great God Goodness!
What An Amazing Refuge, A Safe House Of God's Provisional-Purposeful-Possibility Like No Other! In My Human Condition, I Can't! In His Safe House Of His Spiritual Strength, He Can Be Found In Me And His Great Goodness Through Me, Therefore I Can, In His Refuge, I Can Be Strong And Courageous! AWE-GOD!

1 John 3:18 -23
Children, you show love for others by truly helping them, and not merely by talking about it.
19 When we love others, we know that we belong to the truth, and we feel at ease in the presence of God.20 But even if we don't feel at ease, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything.21 Dear friends, if we feel at ease in the presence of God, we will have the courage to come near him.22 He will give us whatever we ask, because we obey him and do what pleases him.23 God wants us to have faith in his Son Jesus Christ and to love each other. This is also what Jesus taught us to do.

Romans 13:11-12 ESV
Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.12 The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.13 Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy.14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.

I give myself away, Lord Jesus… packing up my past, letting go of my nostalgia for the things I wanted that are not in alignment with Your way for me. My life is not my own, I give myself completely to YOU, letting go of all… being ALL In with You, Your Kingdom Purpose on earth as it was destined to be in heaven. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5rrrGYt5EY Positioned In You, Holy Aligned With Your Kingdom Purpose For A Time Such As This! Kmac4him ALL-IN2012!
YOU VERSION READING PLAN- THOUGHTS AS I READ:
Isaiah 1
- He starts out by asking everyone to listen and hear what God has said.
- God is saying He has brought us up and we have rebelled against Him.
- The donkey knows its master's crib, but Israel does not know.
- God felt misunderstood by His people.
- He calls the nation sinful and "laden" with sin.. offspring of evildoers
- He likened them to children who deal corruptly…
- Forsaken the Lord, they are estranged from Him… used the word.. utterly
- Their hearts are faint and their "whole" head is sick. He questions them "WHY'' do they continue to rebel.
- Sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness—bruises and sores…
- They are in really bad shape… country desolate, cities burned with fire, foreigners devour their land
- Daughter of Zion is a besieged city…
- God left a few survivors or it would have been like Sodom and Gomorrah
- He calls them out using the names Sodom and Gomorrah asking them to listen… He calls out the rulers!
- He is upset about the multitude of their sacrifices because they mean nothing to them, they are just for show and do not change their hearts.
- He tells them that He will not listen to their prayers, even though they are many because their hands are full of blood.
- God asks them to wash and make themselves clean and to remove the evil deeds from their life. Stop sinning! Stop making the wrong choices and learn to do good.
- He asks them to seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless and plead the widows cause.
- You can see His mercy in action as He asks them to come to Him, reason with Him and He will forgive them. He promises them if they are willing and obedient that they would be provided for. He also says if they rebel, they will be eaten by the sword;
- Faithful became a shore and justice now murders. Silver became dross and wine mixed with water. Princes rebel and they have not done as God asked them to do.
- God turns His hand of favor away from them. After He redeems them by justice and those who repent by righteousness. Rebels and sinners will be broken, those who forsake God will be consumed.
- Oak whose leaf withers, garden without water, strong becoming tinder and God's work a spark, both shall burn and none will quench them.
Isaiah 2
- In the last days the mountain of the Lord's temple will be famous. All nations will go to it.
- Many nations will go and look for the house of Jacob's God, look for Him to teach them how to live and live the way He wants them too.
- The law of the Lord will be taught at Zion and His message will go out from Jerusalem. (Jesus was His message)
- God deserted the people of Jacob, His people because the land was full of false beliefs and people practiced evil magic, making ungodly people their friends.
- The people bowed to what their own hands made- they bowed to what their fingers shaped
- God will bring men low, those who brag and are proud. God alone will be honored.
- The proud looks of men shall be made low. Loftiness of man shall be bowed down
- In that day men shall cast away their idols of silver and gold and hide in the clefts of the jagged rocks as God rises to shake the earth
- Don't trust in a weak, frail dying mankind, whose breathe is in him for only a short time, in what sense can his intrinsic wealth be counted on? Wow…. Isn't that the truth!
My Thoughts About This = Miraculous Musings! J
Interesting how sin snowballed until it had completely taken over… the whole head was sick. It started out small, but before it ended, the whole land was walking in unbelief and false beliefs. People were all into themselves and did not even recognize it was God Who gave them their next breath, it sounds like they were totally into what they could do for and of themselves. They were proud and arrogant braggarts who foolishly trusted in mankind instead of God. God was calling them out! He was done with them.

Struggles look for a Savior, and Jesus is our friend in our fight against those struggles.
Furthermore, envy can erode your eternal perspective by giving you a false impression of others who seem to live life without struggles. This is inaccurate and ill conceived. No amount of money or power can completely drive struggle from someone's life. In fact, it may compound struggles because of the complexity of choices that wealth creates. Someone's large amount of discretionary time may, on the surface, make them seem like they are without struggles, but they are not. There are still the internal struggles of sin and self against God's best. And there are the external struggles created by other people's choices and circumstances that are out of your control. Accept struggle as the Lord's way to grow you in His ways, for His glory. Struggles send you to pray for yourself and others.
Paul requested prayer, "I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me" (Romans 15:30).

Worthy News Brief @worthyemail.com
Kimberly, have a heart after God!
Psalms 89:3-4 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. [Selah in Hebrew means "pause and ponder this!"]
Matthew 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David [in the Hebrew New Testament it's written - Yeshua HaMashiach ben David], the son of Abraham.
New Testament genealogies of Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Jesus the Christ) all identify Him as the son of king David. It was universally understood from the Tenach (OT) that the messiah would be descended from David and that he would restore the Davidic monarchy to its ultimate and most universal expression, even that this king would reign and sit on the throne forever.
Why was Yeshua's identification with David so significant? One reason is that David is the only man in the Bible about whom the Lord said, this is "a man after My ownheart". Yet we know well David's imperfections...adultery and murder -- so why would God say this about him? I believe it was David's lifelong love for and abandoned worship of the Lord, and also his contrite heart (Ps. 51) and the depth of his sorrow and repentance which showed this relationship to be the most important and precious in his life.
God isn't expecting perfection from us– His Son has provided that. Yeshua alone is the Man whose heart and actions are flawless. But David exemplified a man whose love and respect for his God were constant, if imperfect, a man after God's own heart. And this is the heart that God is seeking today, contrite, worshipful, and filled with respect and love for our God.
Kimberly, , David provides a wonderful example for us who are as imperfect as he was. We may fall and fail miserably – but its how we get up that makes the difference. Our constant desire to preserve this most precious of all relationships will show that we too have a heart after God. I know I want to hear Him say, "Yes, Kimberly, you are truly someone after my own heart!"
Your family in the Lord with much agape love, George, Baht Rivka, Elianna & Obadiah

I hope so, I want to be a woman after God's heart, I want my respect and love for God to be constant. I know better than anyone that I am not perfect, but I do want to wake up my worship and AWE of God!
For the blessed news that the God who needs no one has in sovereign condescension stopped to work by and in and through His obedient children. A.W. Tozer

Battlefield Of The Mind By Joyce Meyer
Romans 8:1
THEREFORE, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit.
Amplified Bible
Excerpt From Book:
Never underestimate Satan's relentlessness. He will do whatever he can to trip you, and then make you feel so condemned that you won't' want to get up again. He knows that his control is finished once you choose right thoughts and reject wrong ones. He wants to hinder you from clear thinking. He will attempt to thwart you through discouragement and condemnation. Joyce Meyer
My Thoughts About This = Miraculous Musings! J
That is so true! I was so restless because my thoughts were all centered in nostalgia for the past, for the way it was before we "hit the road" traveling from job to job. I wanted it to be like it was, I wanted to be back in the house and live like "normal" people do, but God had a different design for us. I was stuck in the past in my mind.
"We are free in Christ Jesus, and we don't have to listen to satan's condemnation. When we fail – and we will—that doesn't mean we are failures. It means we failed one time in one thing. It means we did not do everything right. That doesn't make us a failure. Joyce Meyer
My Thoughts About This = Miraculous Musings! J
I think sometimes I try so hard not to fail that I end up failing big!! Now I have taken my perspective in and it is not focused on long term success. I just want from every moment to every choice to be conscious of God's Presence, His Help, His Wisdom, His Strength and I hope huge to make it a habit from every moment to every choice to make the right choice 1st. That is my heart's intention and it doesn't happen every time, but I am working towards pursuing Godliness in every moment I live.

Psalm 66:12 Road-tested us inside and out, took us to hell and back; Finally he brought us to this well-watered place. Message Bible
2 Then you put a leader over us. We went through fire and flood, but you brought us to a place of great abundance. New Living Translation
Excerpts From The Book:
It may seem paradoxical, but the only person who is at rest has achieved it through conflict. This peace, born of conflict is not like the ominous lull before the storm but like the serenity and quietness following the storm, with its fresh, purified air. L. B. Cowman
Oh how everything gives way when affliction first comes upon us! The clinging stems of our hopes are quickly snapped, and our heart lies overwhelmed and prostrate, like a vine the windstorm has torn from the trellis. But once the initial shock is over and we are able to look up and say, "It is the Lord" (John 21:7) faith begins to lift our shattered hopes once more and securely binds them to the feet of God. And the final result is confidence, safety, and peace. L. B. Cowman
My Thoughts About This = Miraculous Musings! J
I can pretty much understand that feeling the way he describes it as a vine torn from the trellis. It has been a tough year and I feel like my security is that vine. I am learning to "grow with the flow" of the Holy Spirit changing things up in my life. Really and truly I totally understand when you know "IT Is The Lord" it brings peace into your situation even if your situation does not change. Just knowing that It Is The Lord Who is bringing this situation into your life path, brings with it a peace that trumps all restlessness
Excerpts From: Elmer L. Towns "365 Ways To Know God"
Page 197 Led By Holy Spirit
THE FATHER: OUR SPIRITUAL FATHER
Hebrews 12:9-11 Moreover, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we yielded [to them] and respected [them for training us]. Shall we not much more cheerfully submit to the Father of spirits and so [truly] live?10 For [our earthly fathers] disciplined us for only a short period of time and chastised us as seemed proper and good to them; but He disciplines us for our certain good, that we may become sharers in His own holiness.11 For the time being no discipline brings joy, but seems grievous and painful; but afterwards it yields a peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it [a harvest of fruit which consists in righteousness--in conformity to God's will in purpose, thought, and action, resulting in right living and right standing with God]. Amplified Bible
Excerpts From Book:
The Lord is called our Spiritual Father. All spirits in the universe are subject to Him.
Our Spiritual Father Loves And Directs Us.
Genesis 50:20
As for you, you thought evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring about that many people should be kept alive, as they are this day. Amplified Bible
Psalm 119:71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn Your statutes. Amplified Bible
Romans 8:28-29
We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.29 For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren. Amplified Bible
Oh Spiritual Father, I come to fellowship with You this day. I recognize Your authority over my life. I want to please You, serve You and worship You.
Relationship is the key bond between a father and his child. It is a relationship of love. Because a father love his children, he corrects them to bring out the best in them. Sometimes a momentary correction in the long run is for the child's good. Your heavenly Father corrects you because He loves you.
Matthew 7: 25-29
And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them will be like a stupid (foolish) man who built his house upon the sand. 27 And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell--and great and complete was the fall of it. 28 When Jesus had finished these sayings [the Sermon on the Mount], the crowds were astonished and overwhelmed with bewildered wonder at His teaching, 29 For He was teaching as One Who had [and was] authority, and not as [did] the scribes.
Amplified Bible
My Thoughts About This = Miraculous Musings! J
I never understood why God pulled us out of Ft. Benning like He did, it was truly a shocking suddenly. I kept on pursuing the question of why would He pull us out when the ministry was going so well. But now I see it wasn't about the ministry at all… God does not need us. It was about us and God was correcting us in His own way. We both had fallen back into old patterns of sin. Bob and his workaholic nature had gone overboard in the hours he was working and I in my spending had done the same. God disciplined us to teach us, correct us and put us back on the right path in that area of our lives. He brought us to Pinehurst, made a way for us to be somewhere we are not tempted by these things so we can have success and learn how to stay away from the excess of working to much and spending too much. We were honoring him in our ministry life, but not honoring and making the right choices in our personal life. So the move had nothing to do with ministry and all to do with us. Now He is asking us not to look back, but move forward in complete followship of HIM.
Key Thought: Your Spiritual Father wants a relationship with you. AWE-GOD!
