You are one of my favorite people here at Shoutlife!

What is your greatest concern in life?! What is the one thing in life that causes your heart to cry out for it most passionately? What is your first thought each morning? What is that one thing that makes your heart soar higher than all other things? In Luke 10:41-42 Martha was all wrapped up in serving God according to the customs of her day. She was all engrossed in and driven by worldly distractions and appearances. So much so that she was frustrated that Mary would not leave her chosen desire to help her fulfill hers. She requested of the Lord that He command Mary to leave His presence and join her in her worry and upset that the details of worldly protocol might be viewed as less than perfect.
In all actuality Martha was wrapped up in and indulging the desire of her flesh. (Just think of it, her request of God was, "Lord, make Mary do what I want instead of what you have commanded of her." Martha knew of the command to put God first. All the Israelites knew this commandment) However, Mary had chosen to obey it and refused to be distracted from that which held her heart spell-bound and enraptured with joy! The pleasure of Christ presence was so dear to her that the world could not rob her of that which she derived from sitting captivated at His feet. Mary understood that in God's presence there is pleasure, provision and protection. See Psalm 91; 16:11. And she was not going to miss out on that for anything the world could demand of or offer her.

God wants His children to learn that the greatest truth in life is that seeking Him first will put everything else in the proper perspective. And keep you always in His presence. See Matthew 6:33. There is one most interesting thing about God, He never tells His people to worry. In fact He forbids it in His family. Philippians 4:6-7, Psalm 37:8. He tells us to seek His presence, to put Him and His kingdom's welfare first, to behold His beauty and inquire of Him concerning His perfect will and plan of us. 1 Chronicles 28:9. And when we do this, when trouble comes our way, (and it will surely come) He will hide us in His pavilion, in His secret place. He will place us high upon the rock of our salvation where trouble must flee and the warmth of His love will comfort, protect and provide all of our needs according to the riches of His glory. See Psalm 27:4-5; Philippians 4:19. This is not merely a theory to be debated but a reality to be experienced.

Many are the stumbling blocks that are set before each of us to keep us from God's presence. Because, that is where peace abounds and blessings flow. Christ has freed us from the curse of the law, but He has not freed us from the obligation of living according to or by it. Therefore, seek His face, and He will teach you His ways. And lead you in a smooth path, because it is only He who knows all the onslaughts, and ambushes of your enemies. Psalm See 27:11. Copyright © Sylvia F. Liani 2009

Thanks Selena!

I posted a blog on the Sooze page,
but it is written only as an event. It would make a great story, if embellished!

Hey, Selena...Wanted to stop by and say, I wish we could get together for a cup or two or five...haha...of coffee, because I have so much to tell you about the lake house. I think you could conjure up some good stories about things that happen to us out her.
Two nights ago, after bringing out chickens out from the city (actually one hen and one rooster), to the country, a creature ravaged the hen's cage and had her for its supper. She was a pet for five years....but that night, there was a horrible storm with torrential rains. After the storm, I peered out the window to see the destruction of the cage and caught a glimpse of the creature! It was a Coyote! Since I am not a writer, I imagined a story could be created from the experience!!!
When I get my computer moved out here, I will post some photos.
I am off to get my five-yr-old grandson, as he is going to spend a few days with us out here. He loves to go fishing with me!
Have a great week!
