Don’t Lose Your Head!

Each day the earth brings forth fruitful things within man’s grasp.  A dream is not a reality until it manifests.

When a man reaches for a star – he exercises his ability to live out hope. A man’s arm is not long enough to touch an actual star. Close your eyes and that possibility becomes more of a reality. Things that happen in the spirit realm do manifest themselves in the physical.

With today’s modern technology – people can actually see a star up close. Touching or reaching a star represents truth and guidance. The Lord is shining light in dark places as a ray of hope for some and continued success for others.

God’s light is present. It shines on the truth of His Word. As we belief the promises of God’s Word – we become “Shinning Stars”. Tell your children to reach for the stars. Reaching for stars does not leave a clear trail for the enemy to follow.  

It is necessary to look up when reaching for a star. Lift up your head away from the circumstances. Encourage yourself in the Word of the Lord.

1 A Song of degrees.
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. 4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. 6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. 8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. Psalm 121:1-8

Trouble is like a ball of twine. After unraveling the entire ball – whatever is within the ball is exposed. God in His infinite wisdom, provides mercy for the journey of life. He does not allow all the trouble to come at one time. Truths are hidden in God’s Word and are unraveled as we read the Bible.

Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. Job 14:1

A cross does not come all at once. Imagine every newborn child born destined to have all their lifetime sickness, diseases, troubles, and trauma by age two. The life expectancy of many children would only be two years old. This way of a person carrying their own cross – would drastically reduce the adult population.  

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Matthew 16:24

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30

Joseph experienced lots of hardships from family and in the work place. God gave him strength to endure them all. (Genesis 37)

When your cross walk seems unfair; keep in mind that God knows our burden capacity. He will never allow a weight that we can not balance. Carrying the load might seem difficult and impossible. Know God’s wisdom allows us to stumble to regain our balance.

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13

And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
John 12:32

The enemy would have us believe failure is final. Making a mistake in a Believer’s Life is not seen as rejection in Christ’s eyes. Since there is no failure in God – the stumble is not accidental!

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: 2 Corinthians 9:8

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

At the revealing of fear and doubt a wonderful gift comes forth. Our “Cross Walk” becomes perfect in the establishment of truth. A perfect specimen of God’s image blossoms in times of trouble. Trouble perfects what God has already placed within us.

8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 5:8-11

According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 2 Peter 1:3

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18

While stumbling, not everything that spills and falls to the ground is part of God’s original plan for our lives. Remember as a ball of twine is unraveled, everything within is exposed. “The Perfect Stumble” allows man to see himself in God’s image. Most times stumbles reveal God’s perfect plan.
