Trail Mix - 4.28.19

April 28, 2019 – John Wesley said, “I do not have time to be in a hurry.” Most of us make the mistake of thinking that we are doing the most business when we are busy but God has much to say about “standing still.” Most of us need to hit the pause button in our lives and eliminate enough nonessentials to make time to “…see the salvation of the Lord!” When we wait upon the Lord we “…will renew our strength.” S. E. ‘Trail

My prayer for you today is for you to eliminate the non-essentials so you can focus on the non-negotiables!

1 Kings 19:11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake 12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. KJV

“A little boy was overheard talking to himself as he strutted through the backyard, wearing his baseball cap and toting a ball and bat: “I’m the greatest hitter in the world,” he announced. Then, he tossed the ball into the air, swung at it, and missed. “Strike One!” he yelled. Undaunted, he picked up the ball and said again, “I’m the greatest hitter in the world!” He tossed the ball into the air. When it came down he swung again and missed. “Strike Two!” he cried. The boy then paused a moment to examine his bat and ball carefully. He spit on his hands and rubbed them together. He straightened his cap and said once more, “I’m the greatest hitter in the world!” Again he tossed the ball up in the air and swung at it. He missed. “Strike Three!” “Wow!” he exclaimed. “I’m the greatest pitcher in the world.”
