Breaking out of the Mundane

A couple of days ago a hawk swoop down right in front of me. It was so close I thought it was going to hit me. It quickly caught my attention. It left me just as quick as it came to me and it soared with out any struggle to a higher place. The Holy Spirit spoke to me very softly right at that instance and told me to watch the bird fly. I notice how it traveled in circles as it soared, yet the more it traveled in circle the higher it actual rose in the atmosphere. The air pressure was lifting it higher! The Lord then spoke to me about the mundane and routine life.

I want to encourage you in that you may feel as if you’re moving in circles seeing the same views over and over again. Possible you are a mother struggling to raise her son and you don’t know what you’re going to do next, or perhaps you are a student facing the pressure of life learning who you are and want you want to be in the midst of peer pressure. Maybe your are like me, a minister seeking God’s doors day by day.

God told Elijah to go and that he had already prepared someone to provide for him in 1 King 17. God raised up and humble widow to help Elijah, and she didn’t even know she was able within her resources, in fact, Elijah encouraged her in her faith and let her know she would not go without food if she provided the last of her bread for him. God has already raised up all the resources you need!

Your faith can affect your surroundings just like Elijah’s assurance of God’s word would provide  for him that this widow would be a God given tool for his provision. His faith encouraged her to walk in faith and it saved her life. She would have most likely ran out of food leaning on her own wisdom. It not only saved her life, but also the life of her son. Your faith in your situation will effect everyone around you, including generations to come!

Isaiah 40:31: but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

It is of no surprise of what you’re facing today to God. Know he is underneath you lifting you higher just like an eagle or hawk soaring in circle. You are not just going in circles, yet you are being lifting to another level! Put faith in that God has provided already for you, and the resources are already raise up like Elijah was taken care of through a widow who did not have any food.
