Good evening ladies,
I hope and pray you all had a blessed week. I want to open in prayer. Dear Lord I ask you to bless each and every woman that is reading this today, I ask you Lord to give her and ear to hear what your Spirit is saying, and wisdom to walk in your ways Lord. I thank you for the work you have started in her and I know you will finish it. I give you all the praise and glory in Jesus Name Amen. This week in chapter 3 Lisa asked many questions, and I have been pondering those questions in my heart. Not only how I responded to those questions, but what I see in others as an outsider. Are We Dangerously Awake?
She goes on to quote "Well behaved women rarely make history" -- Laurel Thatcher- Ulrich.
Lets think about this for a minute. Do you know any well behaved women who have made history? I will let you think about this one for awhile...
As Lisa talks about the lion and how tranquilized him, but the lioness stepped in to protect her territory. This really made me think about the ways we as women, daughters,sisters, grandmothers, mothers,aunts, friends create a protective boundary around those we love, but it also made me think about how satan had to tranquilize Eve to get to Adam. Ladies we really need to make sure we are not deceived. DO NOT let the enemy sedate you.
Romans 13:11-14
The Message (MSG)
11-14But make sure that you don't get so absorbed and exhausted in taking care of all your day-by-day obligations that you lose track of the time and doze off, oblivious to God. The night is about over, dawn is about to break. Be up and awake to what God is doing! God is putting the finishing touches on the salvation work he began when we first believed. We can't afford to waste a minute, must not squander these precious daylight hours in frivolity and indulgence, in sleeping around and dissipation, in bickering and grabbing everything in sight. Get out of bed and get dressed! Don't loiter and linger, waiting until the very last minute. Dress yourselves in Christ, and be up and about! Bible Gateway
"We need to be awake to see what God is doing, so that we know what we are suppose to do." Lisa Brevere
Do we really want to see the lost saved? Too many times I think people get comfortable and don't want change and to see more lost get saved they might have to step out of their comfort zone. Are you willing to do that. At some point or another we all need to take that step.
"Has a casual attitude towards sin slowed our actions, causing our responses to be delayed or dulled?" (Brevere)
I think so. When are we going to stand up for what Christ stood for. I pray now. Now is the time...
Are we just going around the same mountain over and over again? Are you tired of constantly being in the wilderness or seeing your loved ones in those situations? I know I am, but what are we going to do about it.

The Message (MSG)
16-21He came to Nazareth where he had been reared. As he always did on the Sabbath, he went to the meeting place. When he stood up to read, he was handed the scroll of the prophet Isaiah. Unrolling the scroll, he found the place where it was written,
God's Spirit is on me;
he's chosen me to preach the Message of good news to
the poor,
Sent me to announce pardon to prisoners and
recovery of sight to the blind,
To set the burdened and battered free,
to announce, "This is God's year to act!"
He rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the assistant, and sat down. Every eye in the place was on him, intent. Then he started in, "You've just heard Scripture make history. It came true just now in this place."
Remember to love one another on this journey. Jesus went around doing good.
