Whether You Feel Like It or Not

Lately, getting up and reading my Bible has been a chore. Dogged by going to bed too late and not feeling well, my strength and desire for the Word has diminished. This bothers me. Why don't I want to read my Bible? Do I have sin in my life? Or is this just a result of my physical exhaustion? Whatever it is, I must not concede.

Finally, this morning, I reluctantly rose from bed to seek God. Begrudgingly, I began by reading Psalms. After reading one chapter, I was weary and ready to return to bed. However, by God's grace, I continued to force myself to read another chapter and another chapter. I felt bored and unaffected, but finally something supernatural occurred. Like unthawing your feet in front of a warm fire, my cold heart slowly began to warm. The Word gradually began to revive my heart.

It wasn't easy. It took obedience. Obedience to crawl to God's throne whether I felt like it or not.

So, Beloveds, why do I share this with you? If I would have listened to my feelings this morning, I would have missed God. Don't miss out on God. By faith and obedience, spend time in His Word. Whether you feel like it or not, draw near to Him and He will draw near to you. He will unthaw your cold heart.

Precious Promise!

Tonight as I was praying:

Father, please do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we can ask or think... Please save my children. Please turn my children’s hearts to You.

God quickly brought this long cherished promise to mind!

I John 5:14-15
And this is the confidence that we have toward Him, that If you ask anything according to His will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.


Thanks Lord for this promise! Now I can rest. As sure as the sun will rise, my children will one day worship You and You alone.

David's Possible Praise Song!

After David defeated Goliath, this could have been his praise song!

"Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus!"

Here is the chorus:

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him! How I've proved Him o'er and o'er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! O for grace to trust Him more!


Beloveds, my prayer is that we, the Fultz and our descendents, prove Him O'ER and O'ER !!!!!!
O for grace to trust Him more!


If you are still reading, the whole song is below!!! ;-)


"Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, Just to take Him at His Word,
Just to rest upon His promise, Just to know: "Thus saith the Lord."

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him! How I've proved Him o'er and o'er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! O for grace to trust Him more!


O how sweet to trust in Jesus Just to trust His cleansing blood,
Just in simple faith to plunge me 'Neath the healing, cleansing flood!

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him! How I've proved Him o'er and o'er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! O for grace to trust Him more!


Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus, Just from sin and self to cease,
Just from Jesus simply taking Life and rest, and joy and peace.

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him! How I've proved Him o'er and o'er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! O for grace to trust Him more!


I'm so glad I learned to trust Thee, Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that Thou art with me, Wilt be with me to the end.

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him! How I've proved Him o'er and o'er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! O for grace to trust Him more!

Win Battles Now; Win Battles Later

Just read I Samuel 17. David and Goliath.

My prayer for you today is that you will win battles now, so that you will win battles later.

While David was under his Dad's care, David learned many things. One was to how to fight and win battles. This is huge, beloveds. Your trials and temptations now will one day be dwarfed by much bigger ones. Some of them will be giants. Impossible for you, but possible for God.

So what can we learn from David for now, so that we can experience victory later?

Learn to love His Word and hide it in your hearts as a priceless treasure....it will one day deliver you.
Learn to trust Him in all situations....he is sovereign over the "giants" in your life
Learn now all things are possible with God..........no matter the giant, He will help you.

Beloveds, run to Him, trust in Him, depend on Him.
If you learn to win now, you will win later.
For the battle is the Lord's (I Sam 17:47)
