Peace

Good morning on this blessed day! 
May Jesus fill you with His perfect peace!

We went to our first Christmas Party of this year last night. Had a great time! We were blessed to see friends that I don't get to see very often. We played bingo for lots of prizes. That was fun also. They let it get to the point where there were so many people getting bingos you couldn't get close to the table with the prizes. Ah, what fun!

There is another Christmas party tonight but we are not going to this one. It just didn't work out. You know God has a great plan for our lives and we may be looking to do things that we want to do but He has other ideas.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares 
the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm 
you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11

So, God knows what we are to do even when we don't know a thing. He will let us know if and when we spend time in prayer about it. It doesn't matter if it is a life decision or a very small, minute decision. Although, He may not let us know right away. We may have to wait. He will give us great peace about something that we are to do or not to do. If we have much turmoil or confusion about something after we have prayed about it, then we are most likely not to do it.

For God is not the author of confusion, but 
of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 
1 Corinthians 14:33

Let us spend time in prayer for any decision we are to make whether it is about what to wear or eat, or what to do for the rest of our lives. God knows best and we need to seek His face. 

 "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, 
and all these things will be given to you as well."
Matthew 6:33

"But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find 
him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul."
Deuteronomy 4:29

God is so good all the time that He wants to help us with anything and all things. He will lead us the right way. He will never lead us down the wrong path. 

But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.
2 Corinthians 2:14 

Let Him lead you. Let Him guide you. Let Him live in you. He loves you beyond measure. Turn your eyes upon Jesus!

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...
