No Sweat

October 30, 2011 by Fritz

Some find it too ludicrous to believe the God who keeps the universe running would be interested or even have the time to be concerned with the desires and feelings of an insignificant individual human being. That’s because we have too small a concept of God.

He is so big and good and amazing he can care for my feelings, wants to hear my ideas and hopes, and listens to my prayer and the same from every human that has ever or will ever live, AND keep the universe running — All without breaking a sweat!

“I am the high and holy God, who lives forever. I live in a high and holy place, but I also live with people who are humble and repentant, so that I can restore their confidence and hope.” – Isaiah 57:15 (Good News Translation)

Sound Bite: God is big enough to care for me.

Like Flies At A Picknick

October 29, 2011 by Fritz

“Don’t give the opposition a second thought. Through thick and thin, keep your hearts at attention, in adoration before Christ, your Master. Be ready to speak up and tell anyone who asks why you’re living the way you are, and always with the utmost courtesy” – 1 Peter 3:15 (Message Bible)

You don’t need to figure everything out or worry when you don’t understand what I am doing. A child only needs to know his dad loves him and will care for him.

There are harsh realities I will handle for you and with you. You don’t need to fear attacks, I am your Daddy, don’t even focus on them because I am defending you. You are not really that hurt. Though the devil is growling and saying you’re defenceless pay him no attention and keep your focus on Me. Don’t be frightened or anxious for there’s nothing he can do but talk — I have all the power and I have already spoken.

Your confidence in Me and My deliverance of you demonstrates My faithfulness to a lost and dying world. Move right on, attacks are nothing more than flies at a picnic.

Two Beneficial Decisions

October 28, 2011 by Fritz

I recently made two decisions which have helped me a lot:

  1. Twice a day stop what I’m doing and pray for 15 minutes.

    The world will not fall apart if I don’t answer the phone or return a e-mail for 15 minutes

  2. Stop talking.

    My faith project is to say nothing I don’t have to say. Apart from a friendly, “Hello”, or to answer (succinctly) a question asked directly to me, I purpose to be quiet. Oh! It’s difficult for someone so loquacious but I’m getting better and it’s been such a blessing, especially with my kids!

    Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath — James 1:19

Sound Bite: Pray more, talk less
