Let Life Be Sweeter Than Honey

As I was in my kitchen cooking, I began to pray openly to God. I began to tell him my concerns as a whole mother. Life is so different when you become a mother. You view things differently. Your concerns change and you become last while your child becomes first. As I began to pour out my heart to God… He said these beautiful and yet simple words… He said, “Trust me.”  

I must trust God in the face of war. I must trust God when baby formula is literally $57 for ONE can. Not even a big can –_- . I must trust God during persecution. I must trust God.  

I am former military. I believe God gave me a daughter because I needed to calm down and be gentle. My baby does not even understand what struggle is because she is shielded from everything. She does not know what it means to go without clothes. She does not know what it means to be hungry. She does not know what it means to not even watch her favorite Veggie Tales show on demand. Literally… My TV is now her TV. But as I look at her and how she sometimes cries because her show went off… I sometimes am forced to realize that she has no idea. She has no idea that a baby in another country right now just lost their mother in a war.  

I began to ask God to help me to raise her… so that she is grateful and remembers that there is someone somewhere else that is literally pleading with God for what she has. But that is not just her that is all of us.  

As these thoughts began to swarm in my mind while I cooked … God said open the cabinet and grab the raw honey. I did… And I read the bottle. The bottle had a bible verse on it. It read  

“How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” – Psalms 119:103 

As I began to talk to God… He reminded of all that he carried me through. Through this all I must remain positive, and I must remember… that God purposed and designed my life… To be sweeter than honey ..

Daily Bible Scripture Devotion

After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earthso that no wind would blow on the earth or on the sea or against any tree. Then I saw another angel coming up from the east,having the seal of the living God. He cried out with a loud voice to the four angels who were permitted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, “Do no harm to the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.” Now I heard the number of those marked with the seal: 144,000 from every tribe of Bnei-Yisrael— 12,000 from the tribe of Judah; 12,000 from the tribe of Reuben; 12,000 from the tribe of Gad; 12,000 from the tribe of Asher; 12,000 from the tribe of Naphtali; 12,000 from the tribe of Manasseh; 12,000 from the tribe of Simeon; 12,000 from the tribe of Levi; 12,000 from the tribe of Issachar; 12,000 from the tribe of Zebulun; 12,000 from the tribe of Joseph; 12,000 from the tribe of Benjamin. After these things I looked, and behold, a vast multitude that no one could count—from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues—was standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes, with palm branchesin their hands and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” And all the angels were standing around the throne, along with the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying, “Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might belong to our God forever and ever. Amen!” Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these dressed in white robes, and where have they come from?” I said to him, “Sir, you know.” Then he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation.They have washed their robes and made them whitein the blood of the Lamb. For this reason, they are before the throne of God, and they serve Him day and night in His Temple. The One seated on the throne will shelter them. They shall never again go hungry, nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not beat down on them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb in the midst of the throne shall shepherd them and guide them to springs of living water, and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

Behold, I created the smith who blows the fire of coals and produces a weapon for its work, and I created the destroyer to ruin. No weapon formed against you will prosper and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of ADONAI’s servants— their vindication is from Me.” It is a declaration of ADONAI.

  • Isaiah 54:16-17 TLV

***

We should be so thankful to God that when weapons form they do not prosper. Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord shall deliver them from them all (Psalms 34:19). God has the final say in your situation and circumstance . Trust God and He will see you through !

Sometimes society makes it seems like choosing the way of the world is easier and more fun and more exciting . However , society does not discuss the consequences that come with sin . Romans 6:23 breaks this down so well. You can have so much fun with God . You can go on walks with your friends , enjoy the parks , dinner dates , and enjoy shopping as well . And guess what ? You can do this without sin. Today find fun activities with your family and friends that glorify God and not this world .

Matthew 10:33English Standard Version

33 but (A)whoever denies me before men, (B)I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.

*** 

In Matthew 4 Jesus was in the wilderness and the devil presented him with so many different opportunities. Opportunities of money , fame , and fortune all if he just worshiped the enemy . Of course Jesus said no (to God be the glory ) . 

But see the enemy is subtle and sometimes when people do things to us to hurt us we want to get them back . For example , what if you have a spouse who is cheating on you ? What if someone you love betrayed you and now you want revenge ? 

Well the answer is STAY RIGHT WITH GOD . 

~ don’t cheat back because you have been cheated on 

~ don’t curse back because someone has cursed at you 

~ sometimes don’t argue back because someone is trying to make you angry … 

Stay Right With God ! 

I know your flesh may be saying one thing … but align your body to the word of God … 

*many are the afflictions of the righteous …. but the Lord delivers us from them all . – Psalms 34:19

Prayer

Father even when people mistreat me… help me to stay right with you . Help me to make better decisions and not to allow the enemy to take me off course . Help me God to follow you with my whole heart . In Jesus Name, I pray … Thank God … Amen 

Love Mixed With Faith ,
