ONE CHAIR ~

Looking out over the sand, water and sky ~ I can see God at work.

Life can get busy and we forget all the beautiful things that surrounds us.  Happy is a place that is amazing.  I find the peace my happy place.  The power of God through the waves or even the calm of the ocean.  
ONE CHAIR ~ is where you can sit to think over the blessings of God.  
A land filled with awe and desires of hearts being met.  A true Jesus connection and yet I see one chair.   

ONE CHAIR ~ is where God sits on a throne of caring about you

Psalm 11:4-7 (NIV)
4 The Lord is in his holy temple;
    the Lord is on his heavenly throne.
He observes everyone on earth;
    his eyes examine them.
5 The Lord examines the righteous,
    but the wicked, those who love violence,
    he hates with a passion.
6 On the wicked he will rain
    fiery coals and burning sulfur;
    a scorching wind will be their lot.
7 For the Lord is righteous,
    he loves justice;
    the upright will see his face.

FOCUS on what verse 4 says: 
4 The Lord is in his holy temple;
    the Lord is on his heavenly throne.
He observes everyone on earth;
    his eyes examine them.

It became a wow moment for me when I heard that God observes everyone on earth and his eyes examine them.  Each of us has the same opportunities in life to become a better person.  God wants us to do right and believe big.  This week I have spoken to several people who are going through hard things in life.  Doctor reports are bad, marriages are hurting, financial issues and I heard praises out of their mouths.  The bad reports and yet the praise reports mixed together.  God is good but yes we go through things.  Somethings that we don't understand, but we can not let the why stop us from believing. 

EXAMPLE:
I received a doctor's report that my liver was bad. I needed a liver biopsy and I was scared.  I had many people pray for me and encourage me that this test was needed.  I had it about twenty years ago and they found nothing.  I never wanted this test again, but I did it.  I had moments of questioning God why and I teach not to ask why.  I found myself in a place of trusting God and knowing that he was in control.  The test came back and confused the doctor.  He didn't understand why my liver count was so high and no signs of anything in the biopsy.  I know that was a God moment and praise report.

Somethings in life we face are crazy hard, but God has the power to move waves and the power to answer your prayers.  We won't understanding everything in life or will we?  If we rest in God, sit in the chair of trust and surround our lives in people who sit with God too, things change!  It becomes you choice and my choice to trust God in all things.  Actually you change and the circumstances around you becomes filled with hope and trust in God.  

My prayers continue for the readers of my blog and your family/friends.
