Called To Be A Never-Ending Water Spring

by Hazel Straub

God’s remedy for a full life in empty desolate places is simple. It is time for restoration of shattered lives. Live in his presence letting his water gush from you!

Isaiah 58:9-12 (The Message)
“If you get rid of unfair practices,
quit blaming victims,
quit gossiping about other people’s sins,
If you are generous with the hungry
and start giving yourselves to the down-and-out,
Your lives will begin to glow in the darkness,
your shadowed lives will be bathed in sunlight.
I will always show you where to go.
I’ll give you a full life in the emptiest of places—
firm muscles, strong bones.
You’ll be like a well-watered garden,
a gurgling spring that never runs dry.
You’ll use the old rubble of past lives to build anew,
rebuild the foundations from out of your past.
You’ll be known as those who can fix anything,
restore old ruins, rebuild and renovate,
make the community livable again.

My Heart Trusts, Relies And Leans On God

by Hazel Straub

Psalm 28:7 (Amplified)
“The Lord is my Strength and my [impenetrable] Shield; my heart trusts in, relies on, and confidently leans on Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song will I praise Him.”

God hears us and is on our side. He heals and strengthens us as we trust and fully depend on him. This brings health to not only our emotional hearts but also to our physical hearts as we sing to him.

I Will Lift My Eyes To My Maker

by Hazel Straub

I will lift my eyes to the Maker of heaven and earth
Today my focus on his beauty and goodness gives birth
To a new altitude and attitude with greater gratitude
There is no place for grouchiness, moods or platitudes

I lift my eyes out of the mundane and routine
There is no greater love that is ever seen
The horizon clouds of despair, gloom and doom
Disappear with the presence of our Bridegroom

My eyes behold his loving care and provision
His presence and nearness breaks fear’s prison
He never will ever forsake or leave me stranded
His angels protect and minister as he commanded

I will lift my eyes and behold his beauty
His glory surrounds and clothes me like rubies
My uplifted vision has changed my position
Because I have given him all my recognition

God Is My Problem Solver

Thank you God, for my problems.
You are the only one that can solve them.
When I become discouraged you are there
Taking, bearing and carrying my every care.

The LORD’S Glory In You

by Hazel Straub

Isaiah 60:1-2 (NIV)
“Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.
See, darkness covers the earth
and thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the LORD rises upon you
and his glory appears over you.”

It is time to arise from depression and darkness because of the new life and light of God’s Spirit inside of you. The light and radiance of God casts out all darkness. It is your time to shine with the light of God, as it transforms. Although the darkness may cover the earth, you have his light and glory. His glory brings transformation to you. His glory in you reveals God’s  light to others today. Your face is radiant with his presence. Rejoice!

I Am With You-Fear Not

by Hazel Straub

My Dear Child,

Many things concern you and you fret.  Remember, when you pass through the deep flooding water I will be there and through all the storms of life. You will not drown or be overwhelmed for I AM with you. Fear not. Feel my hand holding you. When you walk through the fire, I will be there with you and you will not burn nor smell of smoke. Do not look at the fire, flames or think about the heat. Remember I AM right beside you. Fear not, my child, for I AM with you.

Love you so much,
Abba

Isaiah 43:2 (New Living Translation)
When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.

Meditate And Rehearse God’s Work

by Hazel Straub

Psalm 77:12 (KJV)
I will meditate also of all your work, and talk of your doings.

God does mighty wonderful acts for us every day. He protects us from harm, provides for our needs, gives us family, friends and fellow believers. He shows mercy to us and does not treat us as we deserve but redeems us. He loves us and directs our lives. He talks to us and nurtures us, He gives us so much more than we give him. Think about how he brings savor and flavor to our lives. Talk about his deeds to others.

Chill, Relax, Rest-No Stress

by Hazel Straub

Chill! Chill Out! Have you ever heard these words? Fairbanks, Alaska has received record-breaking cold temperatures recently. When it gets to -35 Fahrenheit (-37 C) and colder, it forces one to slow down. It takes time to warm the car, get dressed with winter gear, etc. Although life continues, it is at a slower pace. You still go to work but many extra activities become curtailed or cancelled.

God is calling us to chill, relax and rest. It is time to cease the busyness that keeps us from listening to the voice of God. Leave the stress and rest in the Lord. During the Holidays, it is easy to become busy with many good things. God is saying, “Chill, and relax. Cease and desist taking burdens that belong to me. Leave the tyranny of the urgent and rest in me. Let me have your stress, so you can be at your best.”

Matthew 11:28-30 (The Message)
Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”

Chill as defined by the Urban Dictionary:
1. to calm down
2. cool
3. to hang out
4. to be easy-going
5. a little bit cold
6. its ok
