Do The Unexpected–Bless Not Curse

by Hazel Straub

Honor the King of kings today, blessing and not cursing. To those who irritate, show graciousness. To those who degrade, show love. Season your interactions today with love and mercy!

Never retaliate when someone treats you wrongly, nor insult those who insult you, but instead, respond by speaking a blessing over them—because a blessing is what God promised to give you. (1 Peter 3:9 TPT)

Singing Children Shut The Enemy’s Mouth!

by Hazel Straub

Jesus said unless his followers became like little children, they would not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever takes the lowly place of a child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 18:2-4) God uses the songs of babies and the choruses of singing children to shut the mouth of Satan. When we become humble and childlike in our praise and worship of God, the enemy of our souls, flees.

Powerful humble praise causes the enemy’s mouth to shut!

Lord, your name is so great and powerful!
People everywhere see your splendor.
Your glorious majesty streams from the heavens,
filling the earth with the fame of your name!
You have built a stronghold by the songs of babies.
Strength rises up with the chorus of singing children.
This kind of praise has the power to shut Satan’s mouth.
Childlike worship will silence
the madness of those who oppose you. (Psalm 8:1-2 TPT)

God’s Written Word Equips Us

by Hazel Straub

The Word of God, also known as the Bible or Scripture is God breathed and instructs and corrects us. It trains us to have faith in God through Jesus the Messiah, growing and maturing in right living and godliness. This prepares us to fulfill God’s assignments that he gives to us.

Every Scripture has been written by the Holy Spirit, the breath of God. It will empower you by its instruction and correction, giving you the strength to take the right direction and lead you deeper into the path of godliness. Then you will be God’s servant, fully mature and perfectly prepared to fulfill any assignment God gives you. (2 Timothy 3:16-17 TPT)

The Key To A Peaceful Day!

by Hazel Straub

Saturate yourself in prayer to Father God throughout the day. Let thankfulness and faith fill your requests. As a result, you will have wonderful peace and be able to handle the day’s stress. The answers will come through Jesus. Prayer and praise will keep your focus on God and his wonderful care and love for you.

Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life, then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will make the answers known to you through Jesus Christ. So keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always. (Philippians 4:6-8 TPT)

The Secret To Savoring Life

by Hazel Straub

How many times have you substituted food or some fleeting pleasure and felt empty in your heart, instead of savoring God’s Word? True life and satisfaction comes from cherishing every Word that comes from God. Open your Bible, read and apply it to find nourishment and abundant life, for your soul.

He (Jesus) answered, “The Scriptures say: Bread alone will not satisfy, but true life is found in every word, which constantly goes forth from God’s mouth.” (Matthew 4:4 NLT)

God Our Shelter And Refuge!

by Hazel Straub

There was an earthquake on Thursday in Alaska that caused damage to the roads, some buildings, utilities but praise God, no lives lost. The damage was about 350 miles from us. Here in Interior Alaska, although an earthquake shook buildings,  there was no damage. God is our shelter and protection and he is good!

If you make the Lord your refuge,
    if you make the Most High your shelter,
no evil will conquer you;
    no plague will come near your home.
For he will order his angels
    to protect you wherever you go.
They will hold you up with their hands
    so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.  (Psalm 91:9-12 NLT)

Trust And Please God For a Good Ending

by Hazel Straub

Who do you live to please? God or man? When we please the Lord God, we trust him and meditate on his promises. We delight in him and enjoy his faithfulness. He will always direct us in the right direction and he will have everything end well, when we trust him, with our lives.

Keep trusting in the Lord and do what is right in his eyes.
Fix your heart on the promises of God and you will be secure,
feasting on his faithfulness.
Make God the utmost delight and pleasure of your life,
and he will provide for you what you desire the most.
Give God the right to direct your life,
and as you trust him along the way
you’ll find he pulled it off perfectly! (Psalm 37:3-5 TPT)

Pursue God With Passion And Joy

by Hazel Straub

Pursue God with passion and joy. Not relying on a superficial relationship with him but digging treasures out of the Word of God and pursuing his presence. You will receive riches of peace, health, and have your deepest needs met, as you deepen your relationship with Daddy God.

The steps of the God-pursuing ones
follow firmly in the footsteps of the Lord,
and God delights in every step they take to follow him.
If they stumble badly they will still survive,
for the Lord lifts them up with his hands. (Psalm 37:23-24 TPT)

Your Thought Life Produces A Harvest

by Hazel Straub

What you think on become seeds for a harvest in your life. If you see yourself, as an overcomer, achieving your dreams, it will happen. Or if you think negatively, you will curse the darkness and yourself. What comes out of your mouth, either good or evil, begins with what you think on. Your powerful mouth brings life or death from what you speak.

Every tree will be revealed by the quality of fruit that it produces. Figs or grapes will never be picked off thorn trees. People are known in this same way. Out of the virtue stored in their hearts, good and upright people will produce good fruit. But out of the evil hidden in their hearts, evil ones will produce what is evil. For the overflow of what has been stored in your heart will be seen by your fruit and will be heard in your words. (Luke 6:44-45 TPT)
