Special Message: Time With God
I believe the Lord has fresh manna and new wine for us in this season. Three times recently, the Lord has revealed to me Isaiah 55, with verse 3 being of particular importance, “Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare” (NIV). The Lord wants to bless us. Will we lend our ears? I believe those who hearken to the Holy Spirit’s prompting will excel in this season and beyond.

The Lost Sheep: How I Got and Am Still Getting Over the Hump by Sabra A. Robinson
An anthology of restoration, Sabra’s compilation of transparent testimonies will touch your heart and encourage you to keep moving toward excellence and freedom. Here’s an excerpt from page 32 . . .
. . . I was excited to get back into the work force with familiar faces (and good pay) . . . The recruiter was pleasant, helpful, and he was a Christian. After I was on the job (in a different unit) for several weeks, I was not doing the things that I was used to, so my attitude changed. I remembered thinking, I should not have taken this job.

26 Steps to Heaven: A Simple Path To A Better Life by J. John
My favorite British Evangelist does it again in this devotional with quotes and encouragements on just about every biblical precept involving working and living life successfully. Here’s an excerpt from page 5 on the topic of Achievement . . .
After all is said and done, there’s a lot more said than done. Do not mistake activity for achievement. Most of us can do more than we think we can, but we usually do less than we think we do. There are four steps to achievement: Prepare prayerfully, Play purposefully, Proceed positively, Pursue persistently. Failure is the path of least persistence.

I’ll leave you with this lovely poem by God’s Love at Work subscriber, Judith Martin . . .
“Look Up To The Dove”
God picks us up whenever we fall
Because God is there, seeing us all
And my only wish here, my precious dear
Is that you would hold him quite near
No need to struggle alone with your fears
Just turn to God with your aches and tears
And whenever fear has chilled your bones
Know that you are never, never alone
To find his warmth and unlimited love
Just look up and see the Dove
Seek His face and find His peace
And you will find His great relief
So let us be happy and content
With each day as we repent
For He is coming to take us all Home
And never again will we feel all alone
