Small Straws by Marsha Burns:
Stay in your lane. You would love to fix everything around you that is out of order or against your code of ethics, but you have no authority to butt in. Remind yourself of your boundaries. You have authority where you have responsibility. Mind your own business.
1 Thessalonians 4:10b-12 But we urge you, brethren, that you increase more and more; that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with you own hands, as we commanded you, that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.
May 15, 2025. There is something that has been bothering you. It has become an issue because you have given it a lot of thought. Lay it down at My feet and continue your journey. You will be surprised at how quickly it will resolve if you stop “messing” with it. How will your worry over it change the situation anyway? It won’t! Just “Keep on truckin” as the saying goes. I am Shalom!
Psalm 55:22 “Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.” Robin Robinson Bohlin
May 15, 2016. (Reposted) Events did not go as you had hoped. Right now, you can't see what happened as the best thing. Don't let your thinking and emotions get away from you. Reign them in. Reign them in back to belief as quickly as you can. I will always do the best thing for you even though at the time it may not seem that way. Trust Me. My child, I love you. Later you will see that what happened was best.
Proverbs 3:5-6 "Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths." Bev Robinson
May 15, 2012. (Reposted) Why are you in a dither? It's not good for your health to worry. When the problem first occurs, your energy gets into ultra-high gear and later comes crashing down. I know you have seen many around you worrying. Just like it was not good for you to see them, it is not good for those around you to see you worrying. Haven't I always brought you through in the past? It has not been as bad as you thought when you got on the other side of the problem, has it? The simple solution is to tell Me about the problem, listen and obey then lay back and rest in peace.
Romans 8:5-6 "For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace," Bev Robinson
May 15, 2012. (Reposted) Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I was always fascinated with our livestock and their grazing patterns. Though there was plenty of green pasture for the taking, some would stick their heads through the barbed-wire fence looking for better grass to eat. They would strain so hard to get the seemingly better grass. The Lord says, "Be satisfied within the pasture where I have placed you. I am your Shepherd and you are the sheep of My pasture. Rest assured that I am keeping your best interest in mind in where I have placed you. Eat and be satisfied in My fields of abundant provision for you."
John 10:16 "I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd." Kevin Robinson

I challenge you to daily offer yourself and all you have before Me asking what, how, when, where and why to give. My coffers of much more than you will ever need are full and overflowing waiting for you to reclaim your once prominent obedience in giving. Do not worry about the future. I am solely in charge of your future as to finances, relationships and all the rest of your concerns. It is a pleasure for Me to see you again seeking Me daily concerning your committed giving.
Hebrews 13:16 "Do not forget or neglect to do kindness and good, to be generous and distribute and contribute to the needy [of the church as embodiment and proof of fellowship], for such sacrifices are pleasing to God." Ras Robinson
