To GO or to STAY in LA???

The thought has definitely gone into my head... after being told I won't have a place to stay come
next month... Quickly how our circumstances can change in a heartbeat....

Upon hearing of the news.... I just prayed and read the bible.... another challenge in Life.... but James chapter 1 quickly came to my head... it reads

James 1:2-7
2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

So before starting my bible reading plan... I Thank Jesus for all that happened cause I know
its meant for Good and in due time things will be revealed and God will be glorified...

Genesis 26 was on
the bible reading plan for Jan 8, 09... I was like only 8 days into 2009 and wow.... another big
challenge in my life... already... what a LONG and Challenging new yr this is gonna be...

¹ Now there was a famine in the land—besides the earlier famine of Abraham's time—and Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines in Gerar. ² The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live. ³ Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you.

After reading this, I just felt so relieved.... I know God meant for me to read this tonight along
with all the stuff that's been happening...
So I'll stay put in LA.... before God tells me otherwise....
Later in the same chapter in verse 12 it reads...

¹² Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the LORD blessed him.

God has blessed so much in my life even though I don't have any 'material' things to show for.... I'm not looking for any 'material' things here.. but reading this was really comforting in knowing
that God will take care of all our needs... and sometimes God will even exceed our needs

So this verse quickly came to my head as well...

Micah 6:8

8 He has showed you, O man, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.

Being humble is NOT thinking less of yourself... but thinking of yourself less often..

Thank you Jesus!!
