Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:

Be strong and stay steady as you navigate unusual and unexpected things that suddenly arise. Take things that surprise you in stride, and make adjustments as necessary. I am your foundation and strong structure, says the Lord. Build your life, and establish your circumstances on the Rock of My salvation. You belong to Me. 

Psalm 62:6-7 He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge is in God.

April 6, 2024. Be like Barnabas; be known as a “son of encouragement”. Are you’re an encourager or a discourager? I have not appointed you as a critic or a judge. I have appointed you as a lover. There is only one true Judge. I have called you to love and encourage. You can find “something” good in everyone. Focus on the good and watch love flourish. Allow Me to transform your mind to see the good.

Acts 4:36 “One of the believers was named Joseph, a Levite [the Israelite tribe set apart for priestly service] born in Cyprus [an island to the west of the coast of Syria]. The apostles called him Barnabas (which means · “one who encourages” [ “son of encouragement”]).”  Robin Robinson Bohlin 

April 6, 2024. You press into Me and pursue Me passionately. There are times when you feel that you live in a fog of indecision or doubt. It seems sometimes that you are trudging through mud. Those days are OVER! I see you stepping out of the mud onto the Solid Rock. I see the fog lifting and your vision is clear. The day is here when you will no longer trudge through the mud or look through the fog!

1 Corinthians 2:12-13 “Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.” Jonas Bohlin
