Good morning to you!

May your day be filled with love and blessing from God! What are your plans for today? Did you ask God yet what He wants you to do? It is a great way to start the day. Does He want you to tell someone about Him? We can actually tell someone about Jesus by our godly actions. Do we get impatient? Do we get angry? Are we showing the love of Jesus in everything we do?

I am full of questions today. But sometimes we need to ask ourselves how we are living our lives for Jesus. Does everything we do glorify Him? Well it all starts with this:

 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all 
your heart and with all your soul and with all your 
strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your 
neighbor  as yourself.'”  “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied.  “Do this and you will live.”
Luke 10:27-28

If we truly love the Lord and love our neighbor as ourselves, we are only going to do what is right. If we do these two things we are going to follow the 10 Commandments.  God says that we are holy and righteous in His eyes. So, we must do our best to act like it. That is a hard thing to do. We live in a fallen world where so much happens that is not right. We must look beyond the iniquities of the world and focus on Jesus. The more we put our focus on Jesus the more holy and righteous we will be, not to ourselves, not to other people but to God. We are not to please others but to only please God.

"For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. 
Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the 
Lord has chosen you to be his treasured possession."
 Deuteronomy 14:2
  
 "Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly 
loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience."
Colossians 3:12

"You see that a person is considered righteous 
by what they do and not by faith alone."
James 2:24

We are not perfect and we never will be on this earth. But when Jesus calls us home we will be as perfect as we are going to get. We will live with Jesus and love, praise, and glorify Him 24/7. What a day of rejoicing that will be!  

So, I pray that you have a blessed day and start rejoicing for Jesus now. He loves you more than you will ever know.

Sincerely in Christ,

Les

Choosing Jesus Every Day: Don't Be Lazy

...to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:2b-3 Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Greetings And to us all! I have not written here in 5 months. Forgive me! Life is so busy these days. My husband, Bert, and I thought retirement would be less busy and more, well retired. But that is okay! I believe we are following the path that God wants us on at this time of our lives and that He knows best. So, praise be to our God and Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, for His great guidance! My devotion this morning was very interesting. Bert and I have had this conversation many times when he was still working full time and pastoring. We discussed the fact that our house needs attention. A house will fall if it is not taken care of. And, of course, he was work...

VICTORY

Saturday Good morning to you! The beach is waiting. I can't wait to get away. To rest. To regenerate. To be revived. And sometimes we just need to get away from our daily routine in order to do that. Get away from the phone and stuff like that. Unfortunately, with cell phones, these days we don't get away from the calls. It never fails that we go on vacation and always someone calls about my husband's work, either a person that works for him or someone wanting to get work done. But in all reality that is good. It means that the business is not dead. Praise the Lord for that! The beach does so much for me. I have the best time and the most relaxing time at the beach. I guess it is in my blood. I was born at the beach (a town at the beach). I lived near the beach for about 15 of my growing up years. My grandparents built a house in Malibu, CA overlooking the ocean when I was a kid. (When I find the picture I will post it.) So, I feel like I belong there and I...

DROUGHT

  Good morning to you! Has it been raining where you are? It rained pretty good last night here. We need it. Actually we will take it all just so we aren't in the drought category. I saw on the weather yesterday that a lot of the country is in a severe drought.  Are you in a severe drought spiritually? I hope not but if you are, here are some scriptures that might help. Look to the LORD and his  strength; seek his face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11 The LORD is my strength and  my song; he has become my salvation.  He is my God, and I will praise him,  my father's God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2 So do not fear, for I am with you;  do not be dismayed, for I am your  God. I will strengthen you and help you;  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.   Isaiah 41:10 Do you not know? Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God, the  Creator of the ends of the e...
