Hello everyone!

I pray that everyone is having a great start to the New Year!  This blog is a continuation of the last one titled, The Great Divide.

The cowboys in that blog, who crossed the line in the dirt, couldn’t just stand there.  They had to then move forward and go ahead with what they needed to do.  They couldn’t keep going back and forth over the line and keep changing their decision.  They had to stand behind what they said and did.

When our children were young, my husband and I agreed that in raising children, we always needed to be consistent.  To say what we mean and mean what we say.  This is a great foundation for integrity, which is another topic for another time.

Now is the time for consistence.  Consistence is needed more than ever before, yet it seems that it’s not as evident as in years gone by.  We should not be going back and forth, wavering, in and out of the world’s standards.  If we keep going in and out a door, we’ll never move forward.  Or like a revolving door that we stay in,  going around and around in circles and never getting anywhere! 

Step out and move forward.  Find out what the Lord would have you do and then take the first step.  After you make a decision, don’t go back to the other side of the line.   Take baby steps if you have to, but stand your ground on doing what’s right.  If you slip and fall, just get back up and move forward again until you’ve advanced so far there’s no going back.  You’ve accomplished too much to go back.

It’s time for consistence.  If we’re consistent, not wavering, then we will move forward in all the Lord has for us.

Resolutions seem to be something that we TRY to do.  Resolutions usually fail for most of us.  However, consistence is what we DECIDE to do.  Consistence will always get us where we want to go.  Consistence pays off!

Blessings, Evelyn

Hello Everyone,

Happy New Year!  I wish everyone a blessed, healthy, prosperous year.  May all God’s promises to you be manifested this year!

When I was a child, Western movies were very popular.  It was the time of good versus evil, right versus wrong.  It was a simpler time when no one ever questioned if something was the right thing to do – they knew in their hearts.  It seemed to me that people had more peace back then.

I can remember one movie where a cowboy drew a line in the dirt.   He said to those around him that the ones who were for him should step over the line.  There was a definite line of demarcation where they had to make a choice.  Indecision is difficult and stressful – once a decision is made, peace generally comes - if it’s the correct one.  Maybe that’s why the world is in such turmoil these days.

It seems that we are in the time of the great divide.  Politically, economically, spiritually.  I believe we’re coming into an era where there can be no more “gray” areas, and that people will have to take a stand on what they believe or don’t believe.  Gray areas, middle ground and obscurity will be thinning out.  It will be more difficult for those who want to remain in “neutral” and not make any decisions.  

Jesus said that he who is not for Me is against me.  Nothing gray about that!  He “drew” the line.  What about the sheep and the goats?  There’s no third animal of “middle ground” here either.  We can’t be “parked in neutral” much longer.  Jesus told us that we should be either hot or cold, because if we’re lukewarm He would spit us out!

We see uprisings happening like never before in many countries.  Polarization seems to be taking form, lines drawn.  So the question is – where do you stand?  On what side of the line?  Or are you compromising with one foot on the one side and one foot on the other?  It may have worked before, it may have worked for a little while, but sooner or later you have to make a choice – because when you think about it, indecision is really a decision after all.

Blessings, Evelyn
