Small Straws by Marsha Burns:
June 3, 25 When you dump down in self-pity, you need to begin to count your blessings. Look at what you have spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically instead of what you do not have. There is much to be thankful for. You belong to Me, says the Lord, and I take care of My own.
Isaiah 46:3-4 Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been upheld by Me from birth, who have been carried from the womb: Even to your old age, I am He, and even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
June 3, 2025. You have heard the phrase, “Stop and smell the roses.” I recently saw a child examining and smelling rose blossoms to the chagrin of her mother. The child was “into” that rose. The Lord says, slow down, take time to examine things, use your senses, stop being in a hurry. When you rush, you make mistakes. It’s like carrying too many bags of groceries in at the same time. You run the risk of breaking something. Slow down and enjoy life!
Jeremiah 2:25 “Slow down. Take a deep breath. What’s the hurry? Why wear yourself out? Just what are you after anyway? But you say, ‘I can’t help it. I’m addicted to alien gods. I can’t quit.’” Robin Robinson Bohlin
June 3, 2025. I see that your feelings were hurt, I'm telling you that you aren’t meant to sit at every table. It’s time to back away from those tables. You are a child of the Most High and I’ve positioned you at My table. That is the place where you will find peace. You will find wisdom but most of all it is a place for you to be satisfied in My Love. You’ve been invited; will you join Me today?
Revelation 19:9 “Then [the angel] said to me, Write this down: Blessed (happy, to be envied) are those who are summoned (invited, called) to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said to me [further], These are the true words (the genuine and exact declarations) of God.” Pam Jackson

There has been an error in judgment. You were considering something but were not ready to make a decision. You allowed someone to talk you into it. You had some doubt but went ahead. At the time it seemed like something that could be worked out later. Now you realize you moved too quickly. What do you do now? Do you go ahead because many people now know? Do you swallow your pride and back out before it is too late? Don't be overwhelmed. Right now you don't see how any good can come out of this. Listen to Me, obey Me and all will turn out good. I have the answer.
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." Bev Robinson
June 3, 2012. (Reposted) To whom are you accountable and answerable? The correct answer is Me. What measures are or have been established to keep yourself held in check? Are you a ship without a rudder? Are you being responsible? Are you under authority? I stayed within the boundaries established by My Father. I made time to be alone with My Father in the wilderness. Those times were for strengthening of My soul and for encouragement. Submit and yield to My way. Establish a partnership with someone of intense godly character so you can have resolve in your behavior. Always live irreproachably, blamelessly and holy. Keep the lines of communication open.
1 Peter 3:14-16 "But even if you suffer for doing what is right, God will reward you for it. So don't worry or be afraid of their threats. Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it. But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ." Kevin Robinson
