SEEK HIM FIRST

Good morning!

Are we still rejoicing in the Lord? Keep it up! Don't stop! It is pleasing to the Lord.

You know, some of the things that God wants me to talk about are much more involved than I have time to write or you have time to read. Most of the subjects I talk about I could go on for pages and pages. God's Word is so full of, well God. And we have to study His Word on our own. I guess I am only able to get you thinking about things so you can study on your own. This blog has really got me thinking about different things in His Word. God is speaking to all of us in this blog including me. I do feel like I am leaving a lot out and if this Christian walk is new to you then you are not hearing the whole story.

 What you need to do is study God's Word as I said, go to church, get involved in Sunday School, and Bible Study, all in a Bible-based church. We need to do whatever it takes in order to learn more about God and His ways.

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither 
are your ways my ways," declares the LORD.
Isaiah 55:8

Our ways are definitely not God's ways, but His ways are really the only way. But our flesh just seems to get in the way. We want to do everything our own way. At least we need to seek God before we do anything. 

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

God knows what is best for us. He sees and knows the big picture. It doesn't matter how big or little our plans and questions are, ask God first. 

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

So, we keep rejoicing in the Lord, learning His ways, seeking His face, and "all these things (His kingdom and righteousness) will be given to you as well". And everything will fall into place. At least the way God wants it.

Have a wonderful day!

Les

ASHES TO ASHES

Snow in Pigeon Forge a few weeks ago! Although I am ready for spring! Greetings! I pray that all is well with you! Yesterday was Ash Wednesday. Did your pastor have this service last night? Do you even know what Ash Wednesday is? Well, if you don't I am going to tell you with the help of www.gotquestions.org: "Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent . Its official name is “Day of Ashes,” so called because of the practice of rubbing ashes on one’s forehead in the sign of a cross. Since it is exactly 40 days (excluding Sundays) before Easter Sunday , it will always fall on a Wednesday—there cannot be an “Ash Thursday” or “Ash Monday.” The Bible never mentions Ash Wednesday—for that matter, it never mentions Lent. Lent is intended to be a time of self-denial, moderation, fasting, and the forsaking of sinful activities and habits. Ash Wednesday commences this period of spiritual discipline. Ash Wednesday and Lent are observed by most Catholics and so...

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...
