Isaiah 61:1

Hello Women of Valour,

Why is it that things have to get to a place of detriment before we change in an area?

Normal day-to-day operations, we are planning our next business meeting, next girl's night, day off, vacation, etc. But are you planning on being a healthier version of you? We can put off and put off things until just the right time.

Watch the video to find out why it does not work.

Isaiah 61:1

Hello Warriors,

In the middle of the storm we have a choice to make. I had a choice to make and here is the test and testimony:

God's Playlist for me:

1. Something About the Name of Jesus - Kirk Franklin
2. Best In Me - Marvin Sapp
3. Worth - Anthony Brown
4. Sanctuary - Kurt Carr
5. I Need You - Hezekiah Walker
6. Just Want To Praise You - Maurette Brown Clark
7. Moving Forward - Israel Houghton
8. Let the Church Say Amen - Andrae Crouch

Each of these songs spoke to the inner me and pulled the Warrior out of me. When we choose to praise the Lord instead of set up a pity party. Daddy God will pull the warrior out of you as well. Even though you may be in the same situation. You will NOT view the situation the same. You will start to view the situation from God's perspective instead of your own.

Prayer: Lord, I choose to praise you today in the midst of my storm. I choose to shake off the pity party and choose a praise party instead. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for ministering to my heart and mind today. I love you, Lord, and thank You for loving me more than my finite mind can comprehend. 

It is my prayer that something you saw or read today 

will touch your heart and bring you closer to Daddy God!!!

TRUST AND CONFIDENCE

Welcome to Women of Valour which is about

Isaiah 61:1

Blessed is the man (woman) who trusts in the LORD...(emphasis added)

Good Morning Women of Valour,

My devotional last night:

A New Way of Thinking: Trust

In the middle of the storm, Peter was sure of one thing: he would take his chance with Jesus rather than sticking with man-made solutions. Can you imagine the night? The darkness, the sound of the waves crashing, the disbelief of seeing Jesus doing what common sense told Peter could not be done? Yet Peter recognized Jesus’ voice, and his only thought was “I’ve got to get to Jesus.” Trust in Jesus replaced terror, confidence in Christ birthed courage. How is your relationship with Jesus changing how you think and live?

But Jesus immediately said to them: Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid.—Matthew 14:27

Prayer: Jesus, You know the circumstances and relationships in my life where I’m feeling caught in a storm, uncertain of how to make it through safely. I find such confidence in the thought that You come to me in the midst of these storms, urging me to take courage in Your presence. Hold out Your hand to me, Lord, and help me walk on water with You. I want my life and leadership to reflect my trust in You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

My thoughts on this devotional:

Peter's trust in Jesus replaced terror and confidence in Christ brought courage.

Peter had watched Jesus do some miraculous things as HIS disciple. He KNEW Jesus to be and do extraordinary things. Now he was seeing HIM do supernatural and he wanted to be apart of it. It is my desire to be apart of the supernatural that God is doing. 

The thought that hit me was Peter did not trust Jesus when his foot touched the water. Peter trusted and had confidence in Jesus BEFORE he stepped off the boat. 

Matthew 14:28:
Peter said, "Lord if it's really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water." 
"Yes, Come," Jesus said.
So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus.
But when he (Peter) saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. Save me, Lord! he shouted. 

Peter is just like us, when we see and focus on Jesus we are fine BUT when we focus on the circumstances and situations that are around us we sink. We have to choose to trust  BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER the storm. 

It will get hard as Peter demonstrated. But even as he began to sink he still remembered the ONE who could save him. HE is the same one who can save each one of us in the midst of our struggles. We must remember as well that Jesus can save us.

As we fall and get up and see the wonderful things that God has done and is doing in our lives. We should exercise more trust in Him. Our relationship with Jesus should change how we think and live.

Hopefully something was shared to push, pull, lead, and/or guide you to the ONLY one that can and wants to save us in the midst of our storms.
