When They Think That...

Happy Tuesday DT readers! Thank you for choosing to read my writing today. I actually woke up earlier than my normal 3-ish. I got up like 2 something. My kitty was still sleeping Joe was to the left of me snoring away. He had a couple more hours I think. No one likes to be interrupted when it comes to their sleep right? I know. my husband doesn't.  I think that is why the Lord made him such a sound sleeper and God totally blessed his mind and made sure he doesn't wake up unless I really need help with something. Thank God that doesn't happen often, but it does happen every now and then.

I, and many others get seriously pretty stunned and amazed when they see my face and know that I really only got 4 hours of sleep. That's the usual amount, and most comfortable for me. However, it can change to more hours or less hours. If less hours that's where God comes in and gives me strength!  If I ask him, that is.

Pause break. I just met this nice lady named Amy and I told her to start her day with encouragement and I pray that you would be encouraged by what I write. Remember to start the day with encouragement everyday! Have a blessed day. Now it's time to dive in to today's reading.

Okay, what is the point really of me sharing my wake early time with you guys? Okay, now let me elaborate a little more.  Okay, let's take my neighborhood. Probably Lakeshore Drive, but I could be wrong. I really don't think that is the main point where he was or where she was.

I want to focus on the fact that this person was totally disobeying the law, most probably.  Well I'm thinking because it was early and there was a good chance they would get caught. However, you never know because the police might have been hiding somewhere. I guess getting caught is a chance you may be willing to take.

God is omnipresent. Do you guys know what that means? That means he is with his children all the time. He is in his children's hearts.

Remember the story of Cain and Abel. Cain killed Abel and Cain could not hide it from God. It says something like God heard the sorrow and cries from Abel (specifically from his blood!).

Anyways, back to the gist of my writing today. People like to do stuff, well, the not so good stuff when other people are not watching, especially when authorities are involved. I used the word people so myself is definitely included. I think we need to remember that there is someone watching. And, I think when you are in the middle of doing the bad deed God may be convicting your heart or the evil one may be whispering in your ear? I have no idea but we know what to do for when it comes to good versus evil right? We know that God's ways are always the correct ways and the ways we should choose to go.

I'm going to end this morning's writing with a story. This morning when me and Joe got to Starbucks, remember I told you about that one crazy lady who was telling Joe to expose his private parts? Yeah well this morning he saw the lady again. But this time she did not speak to him. She was speaking to someone else.  Joe said she had a demon as her companion. Then she was saying stuff like you have your day coming or something bad as people were walking down the same sidewalk.

Encouraging thought of the day:

If you are a child of God, then Rejoice because evil cannot harm you

Hebrews 4:13 ESV

And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Jeremiah 23:24 ESV

Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord.

Psalm 18:2 ESV

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
