Shipwrecked on You

Paul’s Warning Ignored

Now when much time had been spent, and sailing was now dangerous because the Fast was already over, Paul advised them, saying, “Men, I perceive that this voyage will end with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and ship, but also our lives.” Nevertheless the centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman and the owner of the ship than by the things spoken by Paul. And because the harbor was not suitable to winter in, the majority advised to set sail from there also, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete opening toward the southwest and northwest, and winter there.
Acts 27:9-12

Job 33:14

God is consistently speaking to His people. Again, are we listening? He wants the total transformation in us, so in order for that to happen, He has to speak a lot. Continue reading


Bleary Eyed

imageMoses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone.
Deuteronomy 34:7

Wow, a man 120 years old and never lost his vision. Vision is vital, both physically and spiritually. You need sharp vision to function effectively. Otherwise it will be more of a struggle.
Bleary exists. Dictionary.com defines bleary as:
  1. (of the eyes or sight) blurred or dimmed, as from sleep or weariness.
  2. indistinct; unclear: The day begins with a bleary view of one’s world.
  3. fatigued; worn-out.

The Buckle Hurts

beltbuckleI think this will make sense to a lot of people, although this can be a bit humorous. Have you ever worn fitted pants to start your day… after even having that first meal now the pants are more than tight, so much so that the buckle hurts and is leaving a mark. You can’t wait to let loose and get out of those pants because they are hurting you!

Well most will hate to admit but you will have to do one of two things…

Get a bigger size or just get back in shape!
Either way, it is just an indicator that change is necessary. When you feel the pressure start to hurt…
CHANGE IS NECESSARY!
