Stepping Stones: Weathering a Spiritual SnowStorm?

Transformational Tip

Big snowstorm heading our way tonight - 12 to 20 inches! Like the masses, I too, went food shopping this morning. The grocery store and the shopping carts were chock-a-block full. The longest we would be home-bound by this storm will be something like 12-24 hours. However, most shoppers were purchasing weeks worth of supplies...all based on the fear of being without what they need to nourish and sustain their bodies for one day.

This mob scene made me wonder why I don't think more...no, worry more, about how well my spiritual cupboard is stocked; will I run out of blessing and grace? Will I have enough of God's goodness within me to make it through my next spiritual snow-storm?

Just imagine for a minute walking into a spiritual gifts and blessings supermarket. Shelves stocked to the ceiling...and all you have to do is fill up your cart. No check-out lines, no credit or debit cards...no need for cash. It's all free; already been paid for. The reason why we don't stock up for snow is because it costs money and I have limited room...God's supplies are free, and He made our heart to store as much as we want - no limit.

Today, know that the door is right before you. All you have to do is believe and then open that door to receive. That door follows you wherever you go...that store is open 24/7. The super store has everything you need to sustain you not only for days and weeks...but for eternity. What's in your shopping basket? Do you have enough to weather your next spiritual storm? Don't cheat yourself.

Prayer
Dear Father God, I want to be have my name in the book of life. I pray for Your strength so that I may "overcome", so that I may stand firm to the end. I know Lord that just as sure as You finished the work of creation, Your Son Jesus finished the work of salvation. Thank You, Father. Help me Lord to focus on my spiritual vs. physical shopping basket. Help me grow the wisdom to endlessly shop in your store with free treasures...just for the taking. Fill my basket Father with all Your blessings. I pray this in the name of the one who You sent to save me, Jesus Christ; And all the children of the world say - AMEN!

The Truth
Then He said to me, "It is done I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost. He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son."
