“Let’s Make It a Habit to Adjust” (part 2)

“Let’s Make It a Habit to Adjust” (part 2)

Comments 0 Comment

Know that minor adjustments, made on a continual basis, can lead to major improvements. Sometimes we must adjust ourselves to conditions that are tough but know that the adjustment is what’s needed to get through the circumstance. It’s important to know that adjustment does not mean compromise. With God’s help we can adjust without compromising our testimony or our values. Finally, know that in between faith and obedience is adjustment. Faith + Adjustment = Obedience. This is something we tend to…

“Let’s Make It A Habit To Adjust” (part 1)

Comments 4 comments

I don’t know about you but I’m not going to make resolutions this year – I’ve tried it in the past but didn’t quite make it to February. 😊 I think the best thing to do is make doable, realistic, “adjustments” to things you have control over. On a spiritual note, know that any adjustment God wants us to make is for our good. This type adjustment demonstrates alignment with HIS will which may require an ‘adjustment’ of our viewpoint…

“Don’t Let Luggage Become Baggage”

“Don’t Let Luggage Become Baggage”

Comments 0 Comment

This is an important thought of clarity to know when things we may have first carried as luggage have now become baggage. What does this mean? Well, let’s first think about luggage and its usage. Luggage is what is needed when we are going away somewhere. We use it to pack what is needed for wherever we are going; we unpack things at our destination, repack it to return home, and unpack it when we arrive at home. Ironically, most…

“Use What You Already Have”

“Use What You Already Have”

Comments 5 comments

Have you ever discovered that what you were looking for was right at your fingertips? We so often look for answers from other people and in other places; not realizing that this type search blinds us to see what’s within ourselves; what we already have.  Have we ever thought to ask God to show us how to use what’s already in our hands in different ways? Perhaps you’ve use it a certain way in the past but it’s not working…

“Don’t Be A Fake Fig Tree”

“Don’t Be A Fake Fig Tree”

Comments 2 comments

What in the world are you talking about Dr. Robin? 😊 Well, I’m thinking about the passage in Mark 11:12-14 which described Jesus’ reaction to a fig tree that gave the appearance from afar – that it would have figs. Do we ever give the appearance from afar that we “could provide what someone else needs” but we’re really “faking” it.  We know it’s not real but if we keep producing the image of productivity, we can convince others as…

“It’s Great to be a Saucer!”

“It’s Great to be a Saucer!”

Comments 0 Comment

What are you talking about Dr. Robin? (smile) Why would we want to be a ‘saucer’ and what’s the cup you want us to be under? Here’s something to think about…Have you ever thought about being under an overflow of blessings and catching what is just enough for you? It is possible… but its initial requirements are humility and an attitude of servitude. Being earnestly and willing under the leadership of a man or woman of God will allow you…

“Eyes of Faith See; Before Sight Comes Into Focus”

“Eyes of Faith See; Before Sight Comes Into Focus”

Comments 2 comments

This was a powerful, thought provoking, ‘on-time’ word that was sent to me while in the hospital by an awesome woman of God.  These words made me ponder for some time. What does it mean to have ‘eyes of faith’? Does it mean to be able to see things before they are? Is it a way to view the unusual? I believe ‘eyes of faith’ are developed over time. As we continually grow in our relationship with Christ; we should…

“Take Away The Stone”

“Take Away The Stone”

Comments 3 comments

Many of us may be familiar with the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead and know the portion of scripture that Jesus instructs them to “take away the stone” (John 11:39) This made me imagine a large stone that was keeping that which was meant to be alive – to come forth. This makes me ask the question of what our ‘stones’ could be that are keeping us from being full of joy, strength, peace, and power. Do…

“Don’t Throw Away Your Confidence!”

I must share this ‘ah-ha’ moment I had around 4 o’clock yesterday morning. I was having difficulty sleeping because of a personal challenge I am facing that may require a shift or change in my career. As I sat on the edge of the bed, I was praying and asking the LORD for direction and a strong urge came over me to open my tablet and search the scripture. Well, what happened next has occurred several times which was the…

“A Wilderness Experience Can Be Worth It”

“A Wilderness Experience Can Be Worth It”

Comments 2 comments

What comes to mind when you think about the word wilderness? Loneliness, dryness, uninhabited, abandoned, baron, or perhaps simply empty. A wilderness experience can sometimes be a time of spiritual attack and intensified temptation. It may be a sign of God’s faith testing challenge. As I continue to reflect on this word, my mind began to create a scene of a dry wind blowing dirt in a whirlwind formation with sun rays beaming down on the dry ground. As I…
