Lessons from the Fall

The Manna Chef

For a righteous man may fall seven times
And rise again, But the wicked shall fall by calamity. (Proverbs 24:16 NKJV)

Sisters, I want to encourage you to step out of your comfort zone, even if it means you fall.  That may sound a little weird, but I want you to step out and allow yourself to experience something beyond what you could have ever imagined.  Step out of the familiar.  Go ahead, Sisters, take that leap!

I recently joined a pretty exclusive club:  those who have fallen off a horse!  Yes, Sisters, I fell, and it was glorious!!  It was one of the best rides I’ve ever been on!  And before I go any further, let me say this right now:  find something that you LOVE and commit to doing it this month, whatever it is that brings you joy and peace. 

Horseback riding is something that I’ve come to love.  It’s a private moment with me and God as He allows me to bond with one of His most beautiful creatures.  Riding has become like therapy for me—I can get away from it all and fully immerse myself in nature.  So, I try to go pretty regularly.

Why Is This Fire Seven Times Hotter?

The Manna Chef

Have you ever experienced a time when you stood up for what you knew was right and you were walking in obedience to the Lord, and things still seemed like they were getting worse?  Like every time you turn around, something is happening that you have little or no control over?  Or maybe it’s the Job moment when all of the news is bad news at one time?  Those experiences can be very disheartening; I’m not going to even pretend that they aren’t.  But God promised to be with us always.  And He is not a man that He should lie. 

Life is composed of twists and turns that can really take our breath away, but God promised that all things will ultimately work out for our good.  It’s so important to fully grasp onto that.  Sometimes things don’t feel good, but God is good.  When things go awry, and at some point they will, know that God is good and that He has the final say—always.  Recently, I talked to God about the Hebrew boys and the fiery furnace, and I’d like share a few things with you and hopefully encourage your spirit today.
