Are Your Emotions Stealing God’s Best for You?

A way to easily gain a positive expectancy, outlook, and a smile in your heart if not on your face–is to 

"Joyful are people of integrity, who follow the instructions of the Lord."
Psalm 119:1, NLT

The early morning glory of red and purple playing back and forth in the sky is erased when the sun soars upward. Like your once-wrapped packages under the tree that were poised to be opened, the treasure is now fully exposed.

As you walk into the New Year of our Lord, the newness will lose its grandeur of the gifts and the expectancy of a new year. That is normal and dare I say okay. There is nothing wrong with not being as thrilled with the gifts or the anticipation of a new year.

Newly opened gifts and perhaps a new goal or two in mind, the ‘newness’ of the gifts and new year always dulls.

Michele Marie Weisman

However, the joy of God never dims or diminishes. What was true of God yesterday is true today and will be tomorrow.

Easily gain a positive expectancy, outlook, and a smile in your heart if not on your face by simply serving in your community. Your City. Remember, Jesus says we are serving him when we serve another.

Ideas to Serve: Call a friend or acquaintance and ask how they are doing. Pen a note to someone and put it in the mailbox. Are you running errands today? Who can you let go before you in line at the check out, or can you pay for someone’s items at the store?

Pray with me.

God, my emotions will fail but you always have an abundance of joy to give away. Show me where to serve. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Three Keys to Peace

God gave me one prayer … simple, basic, and profound.

“Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them.” (Ephesians 5:11, NLT)

Over-exposure ruins a photo as does overdevelopment. I took photography my senior year of high school when developing film was taught in the class. There was a simple wooden, four-walled structure to step inside to develop the film I shot for class assignments. I learned quickly, that this was not a gifting I had, leaving my images overdeveloped. I soaked them too long in the developer and the photos I took would never be revealed as darkness plagued the photo paper. You see, if you overdevelop, the crispness and clarity become blurred and darkened.

Like God calling me to pray over the City my family once lived in, I came up wordless due to the daily tragedies from crime that were reported. Inviting others to pray with me, cleared the picture of what to pray about and how to communicate the prayer.

Fast forward to modern America and the view became blurry again as confusion hit the streets, anger bursting forth in public gatherings and dinner tables. Again, I had blurred vision for prayer.

God gave me one prayer this time and I have prayed it ever since. It is simple, basic, and profound.

Pray for the truth to come out.

No clarifiers. No favorites. No affiliations. Across the board and across the nation, let the truth come to light.

You are to walk free from blurred confusion, it is time to come out of the developer and walk on what truth brings:

Peace within – Alignment with God’s ways always strengthens peace in the inner man.

Peace without – Truth brings sure-footedness in our interactions with others.

Peace Shared – When you practice this prayer at every angle, every affront, every thought, you can encourage others to pray in that same manner. Just as I hope I have encouraged you.

Will you pray with me?

God, I pray that truth be exposed in my City and Nation. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Your turn:

What area of your life or community will you pray for the truth to be exposed?

10 Ways to Reflect God’s Will for You

You are a unique refection of God; let Him shine through you.

Cat looking at it's reflection in a window with a city scape, lots of buildings in the background.

As I cleaned my home for Thanksgiving, I thought of how we also need to tidy God’s path.

What are the dust bunnies that are taking over the view?

It can look like a distraction, worry, regret, or putting something off until later. (Ouch! I see myself in these too.) “Doesn’t everyone” you may ask yourself.

Yes, but does that make it okay?

These activities: distraction, worry, regret, or procrastination, remove you from the powerful calling God has for you to fulfill.

It is impossible, on our own, to clean up for God. Does that mean we should call a cleaning service? Kind of.

Can you really clean for God?

I was recently reminded of this impossible task when one of my teenage daughters had a breakout. Pimples revealed an issue within her own body, skin oils mixed with pollutants clogged up her pores.

What do my dust bunnies and her blemishes reveal? Unintended consequences have consequences. Unintended, according to my sidebar’s dictionary, means, thoughtless, silly, careless, or unwise.

Back to unintended consequences, in Old Testament times there was a sacrifice for unintentional sin. Yes, you and I work against ourselves without even knowing it, or more importantly, we work against God. This specific sin issue is expanded issue in the New Testament in one little but mighty verse from the book of Romans chapter 14 verse 20. It tells us that our conscience in Christ is to be our guide because we don’t want to lead others astray. BUT, don’t be discouraged! Instead, take COURAGE.

Don’t be discouraged, take COURAGE.

Three-step maintenance for the skin, wash your face, use astringent or deep clean occasionally, and repeat.

Recently my daughter told me I had done something that affected her in a negative way. I was dumbfounded as I did not even know I had offended her. Days later, I realized the ‘thing’ I had done was something I was catching myself doing again and again. How did I not know about this offense before? How did I not see this?

This is exactly what unknown sin is. To do something that is against God’s ways and wishes is wrong, if we see it happening or not. To get caught up in the regret of these sins is not the solution.

Just like the dust bunnies I need to clean up and the routine my daughter keeps for her skin, there is a Spiritual Cleaning you can do to address hidden sin.

Wash Away Unknown Sin

  1. Position your heart to hear God’s truth. The book of John, chapter 10 verse 27, tells us we hear God’s voice. This can happen by spending time in scripture and in prayer.
  2. Humble your perspective of yourself. The book of Hebrews, chapter 2 verse 9 explains that Christ lowered himself by coming to earth and lived a sacrificial life.
  3. Foster relationships where people can tell you the truth about you, the good and bad. In the book of Proverbs, chapter 27 verses 5 and 6 explain that truth from a friend is better than meanness from a foe.
  4. Ask God to root all sin out of your heart. The book of Proverbs chapter 27 verse 19 explains that your face will reveal what is in your heart.
  5. Shift your motives to God’s motives. The book of Romans chapter 8 verse 26 guarantees that you need only come to prayer with a heart for God’s purposes and the Holy Spirit who does nothing outside of God’s will perfects the message.

Astringent

This never feels good, in fact, astringents sting! It does not feel good to think of people who are hurting, but compassion with action is what Christ requires of you. Matthew 25:35-40;

6. Do for the imprisoned

7. Do for the stranger

8. Do for the sick

9. Do for all the book of Galatians chapter 6 verse 10 instructs. There are NO exceptions, but a slight preference toward other believers.

10. Repeat Steps 1-9 Repeat the process and build the habit of doing good.

God has good plans for you to do in your City. Just as a field of pimples distracts a teenager and my dust bunnies need cleaning up, unknown sin can clog your ability to see who needs you to help them in your City.

Ask God to help you clean your Spiritual Complexion. This is Jesus’ high call. He has called us each to it.

It begins with prayer

Father,

I want you to show me where I am falling short and do not see it. I will not position myself in regret but leave it at the cross. Thank you for clearing my heart to see more of your Son in all that I do. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Your turn

You are a unique reflection of God; let Him shine through you. What would you add?

News

I wrote and mailed 15 devotionals for some very special homeless women in California, all due to a prompting from God. They will be given out at Christmas time. Will you join me in prayer that these journal-style devotionals guide them into a close walk with Him?

Devotional Review of Jesus Listens by Sarah Young

Side of sitting woman reading an open bible.

Each page was a delightful surprise in winter and Christmas art, from wildlife animals to a manger. I can’t give it all away, but this book is worthy of purchase for the art alone!

Grab a cup of tea or coffee, and let’s talk about this new release. I would love to hear from you in the comments!

How Found & Why Chosen

Around the end of summer, I saw Sarah Young’s newest book was releasing in October. The cover was so beautiful and her being known for Jesus Calling, I knew I had to preview it for you.

Inside the Cover

This devotional is a complete experience with the art, the feel of the puffy cover, and the writing style many love about Sarah Young.

I purchased the hardcover (puffy), but it comes in a Kindle and Audible version. The Audible is well done by Bill Russell and comes with a PDF of the art. That is a win! The Kindle has the art images too. Most but not all of the art is in the Audible and Kindle. The colored pages and snowflakes are all that are missing.

There are four pages for each day’s reading. Page one has a devotional of thoughtful prayer. The second page has a reflective short thought from Christ’s perspective. Pages three and four have the Bible verses that inspired the devotion and a beautiful wintertime art image.

There are four lined pages in the back where you can write your Christmas prayers.

Loved!

I enjoy Sarah Young’s devotional style and she stayed true to it here.

Her introduction was heartfelt. It was evident that she expects you, the reader, to gain a closer relationship with God as you read the devotions and the three to four Bible verses that align with each day.

The devotions covered topics from resting in the rush, praising God and Jesus, and focusing on the season while allowing the to-do list to wait. Sarah Young’s relational way of explaining your connection with God and Jesus is truly a once-a-day gift.

Pause! *

There are 40 devotionals. With 40 days I think this leads you into January when some celebrate the arrival of the three wise men.

Looking online at the Amazon preview for the Kindle version, it looks like the devotional is divided into four sections: Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. The audio and physical book has no such divisions.

Your Thoughts

Let me know in the comments when you would start the 40 days of this devo.

Who’s it for?

Are you looking for an Advent or Christmas season devotional? This might be the pick for you. Young has a huge following of readers who will purchase because they like what she delivers in their quiet time with God. The art-packed devotional is a daily gift of retreat with the Lord, focusing on the reason for celebrating our Savior’s birth.

Who it’s not for?

It is not for men specifically, but if read in a family setting it would be acceptable. Full disclosure, I did interview my husband for his perspective on the hard-bound copy of Jesus Listens.

Devotional Review: the Sword & the Spirit

Behind The Cover

Greco’s explanation of the morning and evening devotions hit solid ground for me. I won’t give too much away here, but the morning use is to set you up for the day’s complexities and the evening reading is to set you on a rock for the next day.

The Where and Why

I discovered the Sword & the Spirit by John Greco on the BroadStreet Publishing website. It was sighted as a new release and I have been wanting to review newer devotionals for you.

I liked the blue cover and hoped the individual readings would live up to the title’s power-packed promise.

Behind The Cover

Authors can be creative with the presentation and purpose of their devotionals. Due to this fact, it is important to read the Introduction to a devotional. I enjoyed the creative reference to the introduction as being a ‘Note’. This revealed to me that Greco’s writing would be more personable throughout the text.

Greco’s explanation of the morning and evening devotions hit solid ground for me. I won’t give too much away here, but the morning use is to set you up for the day’s complexities and the evening reading is to set you on a rock for the next day.

The size of the devo is no bigger than the length of my hand and each devotion fills up two pages. These are easy to read while sipping coffee in the morning and during your evening wind-down routine.

Each devotional begins with a bible verse, followed by an example and spiritual thought, and ends with a short prayer.

I must tell you about the deep orange ribbon marker! I am partial to orange, but add the book art and feel of the cover, and the Sword & the Spirit gets five stars from me for the experience before reading one word.

What I loved

Each devotional gave me a spiritual insight I had not seen before or had not seen so deeply. Greco is teaching the truth of scripture in an up close and personalized way. It was a joy to return to the Sword & the Spirit again and again.

This devotional is a way to linger longer in the word of God or transition into your day or night.

Who Wants It

Due to the cover of this book and the title, I think it has a male appeal.

I prefer a devotional with a message that packs a strong message, and Greco has done that.

This would be a great devotional for young adults, and seasoned Christians. It is a nice bite-sized daily reader that you can fit into your bible study time.

Many of the morning and evening devotions have references (the bible address) to scriptures. I liked this for further reading when wanting to dive deeper into a devotion topic.

This devotional is an excellent choice if you are new to bible reading or for those who are familiar with the text.

Who Doesn’t Want It

I think it was written for adults, males specifically. So I would not suggest it for children.

It would be great for young adults. My husband and I are in the second half of our life and we both enjoyed the devotional. (Complete honesty, I think I read two or three devotions from Greco’s work to my husband.)

Devotional Review of Crazy, Hard, Beautiful Journey by Joanna K. Harris

Devotional Review time!

The one thing I hear the most from you, my reader, is that you L O V E the devotional reviews.

I am oh so happy to add this new release to my collection of reviewed devotionals for you. Enjoy!

Devotional Title

Crazy Hard Beautiful Journey *

Stories of God’s Unfailing Grace, Goodness, and Divine Purpose

Where I found this book and why I selected it.

A few years ago I attended my first writer’s conference. The speakers were engaging and I still have a fat file filled with all my notes. A bonus of signing up was entry into a private Facebook group for all attendees.

Recently, on the Facebook group, I asked how to find devotionals that are being released soon or have just come out. A member replied with her newest title. I popped onto Amazon, to check out her devotional and decided to read and review it for you–and this is what I found …

What did I love about it?

After reading Joanna K. Harris’ devotional, I was left feeling like I just made a new friend.

Crazy, Hard, Beautiful Journey is filled with 60 devotions. Each page tells the chronological story of her life struggling with and triumphing in the face of medical challenges.

Each devotion reflects God’s continual provision for her. Growing up a missionary kid, prepared her for the life she would walk with the Lord, needing to rely on the kindness and care of fellow Christians. Each day is filled with hope, a learned wisdom, and a way to apply those two to your own experiences.

I felt invited along as she learned spiritual truths about God and how he was intimately involved in her circumstances.

You don’t have to have an ongoing health issue to relate to her challenges Harris weaves each devotion in such a way that she makes her lessons relatable to the reader. God is always sovereign and reliable, and Harris makes that point abundantly clear while leaning into His leading.

Each devotional starts begins and ends with a bible verse. It does not end with a prayer but with a section called Self Reflection. Here she places a question or two, to create an inner application to walk out the lesson in your own life.

Who would want it?

I think young to middle-aged women would be drawn to and appreciate Harris’ tested faith. She writes in a striking story-like way, bringing you along her journey. I found myself looking forward to reading what happened next in her life.

Who would not want it?

Men may not be initially drawn to her story, but her lessons learned about God do not strike me as just women.

A Bonus Point

Crazy, Hard, Beautiful Journey as a bonus message, perhaps unintentional, to take care of your body. It is important to make sure you take care of and notice symptoms in your body. Fatigue, pain, or other issues may be telling you to rest, take a break, seek medical help, and definitely, spend time with God.

Your Turn

“For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” (Romans 11:29, ESV)

Can You Influence Your City?

Black woman with arms raised, smiling, as confetti rains down on her.

Yes, and after reading this article, my hope is that you will have confidence knowing you are doing some great work with God in your community.

You may live in an urban area, with the ease of drive-through eateries and the pick of grocery markets within a short walk or quick drive. You may live in a rural area, that is the quiet backdrop to all the hustle and bustle. My family lives in a place in between the two, we have neighbors but it takes a quarter of an hour or more to run errands, besides our local Dollar General.

Every time you drive, shop, or otherwise come in contact with your neighbors, you are influencing them. I looked up influence, (don’t fall asleep on me yet!) in the trustworthy Webster’s Dictionary from 1828; the online version.

Webster explains we can identify influence by its effects. Influence is completely unseen, a power, like a superpower, brings a person to respond for good or bad.

A driver who becomes angry on the road can influence another driver to an angry response. This is defined as road rage. What happens when a driver practices the opposite behavior on the road, giving way when it is legal and safe? There is an influence that the other driver will know and anyone who witnessed the courtesy given.

You can dismiss the example as not sweeping enough to bring a big change to your City, but how do you know? We have all heard stories of how a simple kindness turned someone’s day around.

In fact, what you do may be a great benefit to you but it also influences others.

A fellow writer and friend of mine writes for a foundation that is holding a 5k in October. The run is not located in my state and I will not be attending the actual 5k, but, I signed up and am training because I believe in the foundation. I will run a few laps in my somewhat rural neighborhood, waving at the deer and squirrels as I jog to the lake and back.

Why am I doing this? I want to help the foundation. The organization’s goal is to help the families of First Responders who are in need. Is my thirty-dollar entry fee going to change one life significantly? Not at all. But if the power of influence is true, it will encourage the foundation, my friend, and myself.

You see, the world has done its darndest to make you overwhelmed with every single tragedy that occurs as it is occurring across the globe. Of course, you care. But not one of us can take it all in, and that is not our job. It is God’s job. Ours is to do our part, where we are when we can.

What does the 5k give me?

          Health goals I can reach.

          Something to look forward to.

          Feeling good that I am helping First Responders.

          An example to my children.

Most of the time, only God and the person will know the influence you have on another soul. In your City, I bet there are testimonies on how you have impacted someone for a good effect.

Continue to use this unseen power wisely.

Christ sacrificed himself so you can have eternity with his father. Does it make sense that as God calls you to pray for and do good for others in your City, there will be a benefit for you and your family? I sure do believe this to be true. Scripture tells us that very fact.

Would you take a moment to pop onto the Trooper Black Foundation to learn about Trooper Black?

Daily Devotional with Prayers to Overcome Anxiety*

A 12-Day Guide Book to Help When You’re Stressed

Published

Copyright 2023 by Daniel Ufaruna.

Author

Daniel Ufaruna

How I found this book and why I selected it.

The title and subtitle jumped out to me when I was looking for a new devotional to review. There is a lot of anxiety being pushed on you from the news to the cost of daily living on the rise. Add to that your personal triumphs and battles, this looked like a good devotional to review for you.

Also, Daily Devotional with Prayers to Overcome Anxiety is the first in a series by the author. Double win as you will have more to look forward to from Ufaruna–more about this at the end.

What I found in it.

This 12-day devotional packs a punch by keeping your focus on God and off of your worries. I believe that by reading a devotional a day as planned, you will experience a shift away from worry and onto your Savour.

Each day begins with a scripture, or sometimes two, a short view of what can cause anxiety in your life, and a prayer turning to God as the solution.

Two free bonuses are mentioned on the cover of the book. I purchased the Kindle version and it provides a link to enter your email to receive one of the free items. I have not investigated the second one yet. I can’t speak to how these extras are presented in the printed version.

Who would want it?

The examples the author uses are adult experiences so I would say his audience is adults. There is an image of a woman on the cover and I am guessing that most men would not be drawn to read this devo.

Who would not want it?

I would not suggest this for children or teens only because the examples do not target their life experiences; although the verses, prayer, and main point he makes in each devotion apply to teens.

Who would you gift this to? Share in the comments.

City Prayer –It’s About Time

You have heard the slogan, buy local. I like to say Pray Local. Come on by Walking on Mustard Seeds to see why time is important — in prayer and in your local community.

An old-fashioned pocket watch swinging side to side a galaxy of stars in the background.

“TO EVERYTHING there is…a time for every matter or purpose under heaven.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1, AMPC)

You have a purpose in this moment, this very time that is ticking with the clock. I thank you for using this time to read my post. There are reports saying we are consumed by social media and news outlets.

If you are like me, after catching up on news, the updates can run through my mind while I go on with my day. That is not good.

No one needs the plague of modern news to bat around. God would rather we be about our purpose than trying to wrestle out the times.

Let’s figure out how to be in step with God’s plan for time.

I think it starts with thanking Him FOR time.

It goes something like this while walking my dogs in the morning, I say, “Thank you, God, for time to walk my dogs.” When I am driving into town to run errands, I say, “Thank you God for time to shop.” While researching curriculum for my youngest’s freshman year of high school, I say, “Thank you Lord for time to gather information.”

At these times, when my thoughts regularly turn to to-do lists, worry about the economy, and any number of other thoughts, I can thank God for the joy and gift of time.

Without time, we can do nothing.

As we turn our hearts to pray for our City this week, we can thank God for the time he has provided to pray and serve where we live. I am sure your town has slogans to buy local. Local farmers, local crafters, and local shops. I believe in praying local.

Pray for the farmer, the artists, the entrepreneurs. The farmer needs time to prep their land and for their crop to grow. The crafter needs time to design and make their art. And the shop owners need open hours and time to shop for products or services provided.

Time is precious to you and your neighbor. As schools start back up and summer vacations are in the past, may we each keep focused on how precious each moment is. Thanking the Lord for it on behalf of our fellow citizens too!

Keep Walking on Mustard Seeds,

Michele Marie Weisman
