Small Straws by Marsha Burns:
These are days of reflection, a time to look back and see how far you have come spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically. But, let there be no condemnation and only recognition. Everything you have endured has been a stepping stone of growth in the spirit. Rise up and take the next step, says the Lord.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans that I have toward you, says the Lord, plans of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
April 23, 2025. You are feeling a little panicked that you can’t do everything on your schedule. I want you to prioritize and keep first things first. What’s the most important thing on your list…work on that. Or what is coming up first…work on that. Being ready and prepared keeps your mind from being scattered. A chaotic mind will not allow you to be productive. Keep first things first!
1 Corinthians 14:40 “But all things should be done decently and in order.” Robin Robinson Bohlin
April 23, 2025. Just as a mother bird watches over her babies, I watch over My Word to perform it. Believe the prophetic Words you have been given. Believe what I have said to you and what My Word says. Watch over it, protect it, guard it and decree it. It will come to maturity. Believe Me, I will never let you down or disappoint you. Believe what is said and has been said. I will do it.
Jeremiah 1:12 “Then the Lord said to me, ‘You have seen well, for I am ready to perform My Word.’”
Jeremiah 1:12 “The Lord said to me, ‘You have seen correctly, for I watch over my Word to accomplish it.’” Jennifer Peikert
April 23, 2012. (Reposted) A situation which was once very clear and delightful has become confusing. You aren't sure what needs to happen to clear things up, or at least right now what you should do. More than one person is involved. Turn all of this over to Me. Do that with no demand or presupposition of the outcome. All those involved need to grow in compromise and deferring. Not compromise of character, but a compromise of knowing how to work together. What you need to do concerning the others is pray for them to follow My will. If you will follow My will and others do the same a peaceful delightful conclusion will result.
Luke 18:7-8 "And will not [our just] God defend and protect and avenge His elect (His chosen ones), who cry to Him day and night? Will He defer them and delay help on their behalf? I tell you, He will defend and protect and avenge them speedily. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find [ persistence in] belief on the earth?" Bev Robinson
April 23, 2012. (Reposted) You are establishing some very healthy disciplines that you will carry with you for a lifetime. You have seen the error of your ways and have made a complete turnaround in your life. You have repented from your fruitless toils and come to realize that only I can change the atmosphere. Be careful not to become legalistic in your pursuit of these lifelong disciplines. Grant favor to yourself and continue along the path I have laid out for you. These actions you are taking will yield an abundance of positive results in your life. You look good with choices you're making. Continue to build upon the foundation I have laid.
1 Timothy 4:7-8 "But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness; for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come." Kevin Robinson
April 23, 2012. (Reposted) Are you aware that I am the Great Shepherd of the sheep? You are My sheep. As a shepherd, I watch, care for and provide for you every day of your life. There is never a time when I am not engaged with you both night and day. Often I even sing over you while you sleep. I am at the window and doors of your home or where you stay making sure the enemy does not sneak in and harm you. I am the Lord that heals you, delivers you and saves you from the world and Hell. Make no mistake about it; I take full responsibility to keep the eternal covenant I cut with you when Jesus died on the cross. Nothing can ever snatch you out of My hands or My care.
Psalm 23:1-3 "The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake." Ras Robinson
