THROUGH CHRIST

 
Good morning to you!
 
Grace and peace to you from God our 
Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:2

I pray you slept well and woke up on the right side of the bed! I woke up with a start this morning. I had a dream that was really weird and I can't seem to forget it. I ate dinner at 8 or 8:30 last night and I know I shouldn't eat late. Usually we just have a snack after church on Sunday nights but I ate a meal of leftovers and it tasted good but eating roast beef that late isn't good for me. The doc said that I should eat red meat at all and I did. O my!

Do you remember your dreams? The only time I do is when I eat late or eat really spicy food for dinner. Then I do remember my dreams and usually they are not dreams I want to remember. Not that they are really bad just not so good or uplifting and kind of strange.

This morning while reading God's Word, this verse which is so well known and my daughter's favorite came to mind.

 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13

I guess I was thinking about forgetting the dream and knew that through Christ I could forget it. But I need to give Him a chance to make me forget it. "God is good all the time and all the time God is good." When we say this saying, it doesn't really say how awesome God really is. It just says how good He is. And that is true but He is much better than good. But anyway He can strengthen us through Christ. We need to remember that when we are feeling down and feel we can't do something. Oh, I can't do that! Oh, yes you can if it is His will. And He will help you all the way.

Sometimes we limit ourselves of what we can do because we might be afraid or weary or don't really want to do it. Do we put God in a box? He can do anything.

But Jesus looked at them and said, “With 
men it is impossible, but not with God; 
for with God all things are possible.”
Mark 10:27
 
Just saying we can't do something, is saying God can't do it. We are not trusting Him to be able to do it. So, let's take God out of the box and let Him do it. Let Him work in our lives. Let Him lead, guide, and direct us. Let Him fill us with His presence. And just let Him do it!
 
Have a blessed day!

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...
