Do you ever wonder why it seems like sometimes God is taking his sweet ole time to come and save us from a trial that is going on in our lives.. I have, many of times.. I would almost get to my wits end, and then "with attitude" come to Jesus.. and say,, Dont you see what I am going through.. are you just going to stand there and let this happen? This is the same way Martha and Mary, Lazarus's Sisters felt.. Martha said to Jesus after Lazarus had died and had been laid to rest. She said Lord , if you would of been here my brother would not of had to die! (And probably with a little attitude herself) But Jesus knew that Lazarus was already dead, but he wanted his old life to die, and he wanted to bring him a New life, for all the people to see.. To Glorify God.. Just maybe we have things in our lives that Need to die.... Maybe his plan it to replace those things that need to die with something better that will Glorify God.. Hummmmm?????? But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purpose of this heart through all generations. Psalms 33:11 (in other words... I think he knows what he is doing ! even if we dont always get it right away ! ) God Bless.. Have a great week.. and  |

Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Enjoying yours ... looking forward to serving the Lord together. Loved your point about there being things that need to die -- to be used for His glory. How hard it is, though! Thanks for the encouragement today!
ReplyDeleteAmen!! It's an exchange: the old for the new. How wonderful this blog was!!!! Dying to self is a daily habit we all need to form for His glory!!!
ReplyDeleteI never thought about it like that, it is true, I never want to let what God is asking me to let go of and to let it die.
ReplyDeleteChoosing to die daily, is very hard to do, and thanks for the reminder.
Some good thoughts. However, the light colors used in some of the text made it difficult for me to read.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteI feel that God is asking me to give up 'something' in my daily life and let it die. I know that letting it die will be a big help to me and my family but I never considered it would bring glory to God. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I needed that.
Thanks for stopping by Life Lessons! Enjoyed perusing your blog. Your most recent post regarding things that need to die in our lives is so true! It's wonderful to see God at work and realize that He always provides something far better for us when He asks us to give something up! Have a great week. God bless!
ReplyDeleteAmen! A timely word...and thought provoking question...my answer is yes...I do have something I need to let die...
ReplyDeleteOh I think I am always working on something that I need to let die....not an easy thing to do. Wish I could remember it ALWAYS benefits me in the end. This was a good reminder..
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Words I needed to hear today. ~Blessings to you
ReplyDeleteWhy do we hold onto things that we shouldn't when letting them die would bring something better? It is just plain silly that us humans have such a hard time trusting God!
ReplyDeleteThis post is right on target! I hear the bells tolling right now. For whom the bell tolls? The old nature in me! That's who.
ReplyDelete"Behold I make all things new."
and thankfully He does! In His time. :)
Thank you! :)

things that need to die with something better that
will Glorify God.. Hummmmm??????"
I'm dealing with something right now that I'm trying to decide if it needs to die or not. It's hard to decide sometimes what is the best.
BTW, thanks so much for visiting my blog and the invite to visit you. I'm a Bible Study teacher too and already love what you get out of the Word. I also heard of you through Pear Tree Lane Farmhouse, which is a favorite blog.
ReplyDeleteI think this blog will be a blessing!
Loved browsing through your blog! I became a follower, too. I love your helpful biblical wisdom and look forward to more.
ReplyDeleteSue sent me over and I'm glad that she did. True words...
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Debbie
I read a book from a Christian leader, and he said that the hardest moments in life have become his sweetest memories. God is so tender, and He carries us closely through difficulties!
ReplyDeleteHello Karen and Missy! Thank you for stopping by my blog and for your kind words! I can see from reading your blog that your hearts belong to the Lord and taking care of your family and home are on the top of your list. Bless you for teaching women about the most important things in life! So great to meet you here in blog-land!
ReplyDeleteGod bless your darlin' hearts!

ReplyDeleteThe Lord knows our hearts, so He sees the pain. But as He suffered for me, I don't want to take Him or His grace for granted. Heaven forbid!!
Yes, I do have things that need to die, I have learned that His time table is not ours. And He certainly knows better than I what needs to be done and when. Thank you both for your inspiration.
