Down the Path to the Well--a thought to remember along the way
THE DAISY DOCTRINE!?!
Now, let me set the record straight: I am not a theologian! I love words and I love GOD'S Word--and a combination of the two brings you this off-beat devotional today. You won't find this doctrine in any theology book, taught at any theological seminary, or in any best-selling self-help book...you'll only find it here, and it's free--so listen up! It comes from the school of life and passing the course may well be a pre-requisite to getting a coveted daisy degree some day!Remember the childhood days of picking daisies, then pulling petals, one by one, "He loves me...he loves me not..." - You held your breath to be sure it came out right...and if it did not, you might even cheat a little to make it so!
Well, let me take you down MY first daisy trail today - "He LOVES me...He loves me NOT?" Does God's love waver? Is it dependent upon our attitudes, our actions, our manners, our moods? Indeed not. Pull the daisy petals all you'd like - it will always come out the same - He LOVES ME.....it's a love that never fails...a doctrine that's ever real--and it's yours and mine, unconditionally, this day!
One more daisy trail before we head home...this one? "He GIVES Me...He Gives me NOT!" And what does He give me? GRACE for each day; GRACE for each trial; GRACE for all time! But don't stop there--the next petal? "He gives me NOT..." Now is there anything that God does NOT give us? Does the Daisy Doctrine work here? It sure does--for "God hath NOT given us the spirit of fear, but of love, and of power and of a sound mind!"
Next time, old slewfoot shows up in your garden, take HIM down these daisy trails....Show HIM the unconditional, inexhaustible love of your great God--then point him to the never-failing, fear-expelling grace of your loving Lord--and he'll be out of your garden in a hurry. He doesn't like DAISY DOCTRINE...but I do--so take it or leave it, devil; we're takin' it with us this week, so watch out!!

Weapons of Our Warfare by Brother Ephraim--enjoy the lyrics & tune.
"Lord, I need the sword of God's Word this week to come against the enemy of my soul. He would question God's love and God's grace in my life; he would intimidate me with guilt and with fear, but I am YOURS, Lord.....You love me and You give Me grace--thank You for allowing YOUR handiwork to remind me of Your love and grace...I ask for a special measure of both today...in Your Name, Amen."
