Vanity of Vanities ...



Ecclesiastes 1 comes to mind as we enter a season that encourages a frenzy of holiday shopping.

How many things do we really need? What if you decided that u don't need everything that pulls your attention? .

Have some fun, buy a few presents + be complete ✔️

FREE yourself from the madness.



If u keep seeing more that you want + are frustrated + have lost your peace ,
I present this question - 💡 " Why allow anything to steal your moments of adoration with Jesus ? "
The peace we have in Him is priceless.
Losing that is Costly !

As believers in Christ we are full to overflowing in Yeshua, He supplies our needs at ALL times.
We have Grace & Favour at ALL times.

Don't rush for each sale, fooled by the hype, egged on by relentless advertising .

DON'T use credit cards unless u can immediately repay them.
The Bible says to be the borrower not the lender. The lust of the eyes will Deceive you into coveting & becoming a borrower.
Where's the faith in that ?

Indeed, there are certain desires that the Lord puts in our heart to stir our faith to believe for.

And then there are those desires the enemy plants through the lust of the eyes. These are empty desires that amount to nothing except to keep your thoughts hooked on "things"... rather than your Messiah.
 
Become aware of the diff between the desire from Him & the desires of the world ... it can be easy to stumble & fall into idolatry.

Allow me to extoll that the Lord is generous. He pours out His grace and loves to bless His righteous children.

Of course it's wonderful + good fun to enjoy His various gifts too .... but draw the line.
And be aware if you've crossed it .

Take captive every thought + bring it into obedience.
Detachment is profitable for those who walk in the Spirit.
Though we are highly blessed & favoured in Christ .... always hold things LOOSELY + onto the Lord TIGHTLY.
He is our First Love. ❤️
We must always be besotted by Him captivated by His Will, His Kingdom, His plans..

Remain in His peace. Fix your thoughts on Jesus, your sights on eternal riches that will not crumble to dust.
 
"Vanity of vanities", says the preacher. " All is vanity. "

Love, Ahava Sarah ❤️

The Ecstacy of Loving God

Image
Journal entry - 25 May 2017 This morning in my 'Holy Hour' with the Lord ... I sat and waited upon him at 3 am , sang in tongues and soon found Him. :) But it was at around 4 or 5 am, that I noticed a special love began to wrap itself around me.... It was so beautiful .... that I am inspired to write about it in my journal entry this day.  I use the title 'The Ecstacy of Loving God' for this particular blog post as it is a commonly used term that describes the intimacy as well as the absolute pleasure and delight that is found in the Lord. The title is also that of a well known book that describes the mystical state of love that come in union with Christ. However, I use it not to refer to the book in particular but to share my personal thoughts on the sheer delight, yes the Ecstacy of Loving God! :) Lately, it feels as though I have plunged into colorful oceans. There is so much to see, appreciate and learn from. There are beautiful beings and sig

Write it Down, then Run with it!

Journal entry - 24 May 2014 Habakkuk 2:2 - Then the LORD replied: "Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it.   Today I am reminded to write a clear vision of the goals and plans that I see coming to fruition this year & in the years following.  I have written them before, but I am feeling led to add more details and specificity. When the Lord gives us dreams, desires & hopes, He has planted the seed. But it is up to us to water, tend to them and see that these seeds flourish into a great & mighty tree.  Picture a tree that in it's strength lends great influence - It provides shade, food,nourishment, refreshment as well as beauty to those who come to it.  It's a fruitful tree :) Writing down goals/visions, thus making the end result clear in written or visual form creates a great sense of excitement and joy. This leads to high levels of motivation to RUN with what is written. It gets my adren
