Small Straws by Marsha Burns: There are things that you have control over and can do something about, and there are things beyond your control that you have no ability to change. Do what you can with every situation, and leave the rest to Me, says the Lord. Trust Me with the issues in your life, and get yourself in a place of rest and peace by trusting Me. 

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

April 9, 2025. Are you caring for your natural body? I want you to remember that your body is not your own; it is the temple of the Holy Spirit. The Godhead lives within you…remember that the next time you are tempted to misuse your body. It deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Ask Me and I will show you if you are misusing the earth suit that I have blessed you with – Selah! 

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 “You surely know that your body is a temple where the Holy Spirit lives. The Spirit is in you and is a gift from God. You are no longer your own. God paid a great price for you. So use your body to honor God.”   Robin Robinson Bohlin

April 9, 2025. It is time to birth what I have placed in you. It is time for the final push. The enemy has fought this birthing, but I say to you what I have put in you cannot be stopped. You have carried these things to full term and now you are ready to birth what I have placed in you. Today is your birthing day and today you begin newness of life. 

Isaiah 66:9 “Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?” says the Lord. “Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?” says God.

Isaiah 43:18-19 “Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” Jennifer Peikert

April 9, 2012. (Reposted)  A time of nostalgia is good, very good. This is when you especially enter into remembering who I am, what I have done to bring good times in your life. My ancient peoples did that time after time. This enabled them to have hope for the present and future.  They knew how I had brought them through in the past letting them know goodness is coming again. This perpetuates my cycle of hope. Yes, a part of hope is going through bad times. Because what you experience during those times lets you know I will get you through again. You learn each time you encounter various trials. This strengthens your belief.

Romans 5:3-5 “And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance;  and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope;  and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” Bev Robinson

April 9, 2012.   (Reposted)      Here in Texas, we are experiencing a spectacular spring season. We had a mild winter and are continuing to receive an abundance of much needed rain. Grass is shooting out of the ground, and wildflowers have been and are blooming like crazy. Sadly, in a couple of months it will all be just a faded memory due to the upcoming Texas heat. The Lord says, “As much as you enjoy seeing the beauty of lush green meadows and the array and splendor of flowers that seemingly go on forever, cherish Me and My Word much more than those that fade. With Me all things are new each and every morning.”

Isaiah 40:8 “The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the Word of our God endures forever.”   Kevin Robinson 

April 9, 2012. (Reposted)  Brace yourself and prepare for the good. Yet before the good, I am allowing the bad to manifest. Oh, I know you have expected the worst at times. That is a common misconception of My working in your life. You see, even what seemed bad was all part of the good. My ways and thoughts are above yours. Not seeing things as I see them may be the reason you are not experiencing the Kingdom of God every day. My justice will, must and always does prevail. Your response must be one of belief through uncommon believing. Trust in the Lord your God and lean not unto your own understanding. Surrender now while you still can. I give Myself fully to the one who surrenders fully.

Habakkuk 1:5 “Look around at the godless nations. Look long and hard. Brace yourself for a shock. Something’s about to take place and you’re going to find it hard to believe.” (Read all of Chapter 1 for perspective)      Ras Robinson
