Stirring the pot

Stirring the Pot

Scripture Anchor:
"Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts." — Psalm 139:23

"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God…" — James 1:5

There are moments in our lives when everything feels unsettled. Circumstances shift. Emotions rise. Questions surface. It feels as if God has taken the spoon and begun stirring the pot of our lives.

I once shared this message before, but as I revisited it today, it stirred my heart again.

Sometimes God has to stir the pot in your life so you can see what rises to the surface.

When you cook soup, the richest nutrients often rise to the top when the pot is stirred. Yet many times, we skim that layer off and throw it away without realizing it contains substance and value.

In the same way, when God allows movement, pressure, or even discomfort in our lives, it is often to reveal what is already there — answers we have prayed for, wisdom we have received, convictions He has placed in our hearts.

But sometimes we overlook them.

We ask God for solutions, and when they surface, we dismiss them because they are not packaged the way we expected. We receive clarity, but we do not examine it closely. We sense direction, but we set it aside.

So God stirs again.

Not to harm us.
Not to confuse us.
But to clarify.

Sometimes what feels like disruption is actually revelation.

God may allow what feels like a small revolution in your life to bring to the surface what you have been ignoring. The answers may already be visible. The guidance may already be present. Yet without spiritual discernment, we skim over what was meant to nourish us.

The question is not always, “God, why are You stirring this?”
Sometimes the real question is, “Lord, what are You showing me that I have not been paying attention to?”

Reflection

  • What has recently “risen to the surface” in my life?

  • Have I dismissed any answers because they were uncomfortable or unexpected?

  • Is God stirring me to pay closer attention?

Prayer

Lord, if You must stir the pot of my life, do it with purpose.
Give me eyes to see what rises.
Give me wisdom to discern what is from You.
Help me not to discard the very answers I have prayed for.
Teach me to recognize Your voice, even when it comes through disruption.
In Jesus’ name, amen.

TRUST OR THRUST

  Trust is truly to rest in the Lord for He is truth. These are the benefits of resting in the Lord: Strength Healing Restoration Renovation Security Comfort Peace Confidence Mathew 12:8 For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.” Mark 2:27 Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. For in the Lord is our rest. When you don't rest then you start to rust "spiritually". What is rust? Rust is a reddish- or yellowish-brown flaky coating of iron oxide that is formed on iron or steel by oxidation, especially in the presence of moisture. Rust can be prevented by Oils and grease coating which cuts off moist air. So, spiritually talking the oil symbolizes "anointing". And you can only receive it when you rest in the Lord 🙏💖. TRUST is a firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something. THRUST means to push (something or someone) suddenly or violently in the specified direction.

GOD LOVES YOU

  This blog is created first of all for: The Glory of God. He is the one that put this seed in my heart to share with YOU .  Yesssss,...  YOU . You are probably asking yourself, How does she know that? You are probably thinking to yourself,  "How can God LOVE someone like me"? I am a sinner, I have failed in so many ways... I don't deserve the LOVE of God.  Why  YOU ?   Well, first of all, You were created to Gods image and Glory for his purpose. So He is your CREATOR. Your purpose in life is in Gods hands. You were created for Him.  Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. When you create something, you make sure that no one ruins it.  You protect it.  You secure it. Its your property.  A great example of this is:  When a woman has the blessing of having a child. The first thing that the mother does when the child is born is to carry the child and p...

SCARS & PAIN

SCARS AND PAIN  WILL MAKE YOU PRODUCE When an avocado tree is not giving avocados you make a scar on them and they in their nature will produce fruit because they tend to feel that scar as death. So what I'm trying to say today to you is that the scars, the bruises and everything that hurts you will produce fruit in you. It's good to be afflicted because it brings out production. When I am weak, I'm really strong because that weakness, will produce your strength through Jesus. Give and you shall receive. And whatever you do, do it as for the Lord; knowing that you will be recompensated by him. Give without expecting anything in exchange. You are hurt, because you have so much potential in you. You have so much than can be beneficial to others. You have more in you, than what you think. You just don't know how much because you don't feel valuable. Sometimes you don't even feel it's worth to sacrifice your giving or offering. But remember we are not here for o...
