BE FILLED

Good morning on this wonderful Sabbath Day!

Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.
3 John 1:2

I pray all is well with you and you slept well. I did but I am trusting God to heal my back. As I said yesterday I did too much on Friday and now I can't move very well without pain again. These kinds of things are hard to understand. We think why is this happening to me. I have so much to do. I need to do so much this coming week and how am I going to do it all. Well, God will show us the way. He will fill us with what we need. And if it doesn't get done well there is always another day. These things are really hard to do or take. I need to do it now, we might think. I have people depending on me. Well, God's timing is perfect and as my husband, who was born with a bad back, says you just have to do what you have to do and if it hurts you just do it anyway. Oh my! I don't know how he does his work when his back hurts. His job is very physical and I just can't imagine. I guess God is letting me see I need more compassion for my husband when he is hurting in the back. 

I was talking yesterday about the mysteries of God that He does reveal to His people through His Word. Although there are some mysteries that we will not know about until we get to heaven. And maybe even then we won't know them all because it won't matter anymore. We will be living with Jesus! We will be filled to overflowing!

Do your best to present yourself to God 
as one approved, a worker who does not 
need to be ashamed and who correctly 
handles the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:15

If we correctly handle the word of truth, we are doing the right thing with God's Word. We are studying it and searching the scriptures and seeking God with all our heart. We are trying to know Him better, trying our best to seek His face, and to learn about His mysteries. We are asking Him to fill us daily with His Spirit.

There is much written about the mysteries of God. Paul spends a lot of time talking about the mysteries. I found a website which talks about the mysteries if you care to read it. It goes to a lot of detail about the mysteries of God if you wish to study it more. There is a lot more to this topic than I have time or space for but you can study it on your own. It is very important to study and learn this.

A verse I used yesterday was:

To them God has chosen to make known 
among the Gentiles the glorious riches 
of this mystery, which is Christ in you, 
the hope of glory. He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone 
fully mature in Christ. 
Colossians 1:27-28 

So, continue to study God's Word and be strengthened and filled with His love and mercy and grace. Lean and depend on Him. Praise and worship Him. Love Him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Love your neighbor as yourself. Follow Him. Be filled with the Holy Spirit as His Word says:

Do not get drunk with wine, which 
will only ruin you; instead, 
be filled with the Spirit.  
Ephesians 5:18

Have a wonderful and awesome day in the Lord.

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

Image
  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...
