WATCH IT AND READ IT

Good morning to you!

May God bless you on this awesome Monday! We had the blessing of watching the first episode of The Bible mini-series on the History Channel last night. I was crying just watching the introduction of the movie. I don't know why it touched me so much but it did. I guess part of it was knowing that the directors of the movie, Mark Burnett and wife, Roma Downey (yes, Touched by an Angel), worked so hard to make it true to the Bible by writing the script with many theologians and Bible teachers, in order to make it truthful. It was very dramatic but then the Bible stories used are the more active or exciting ones. I can't wait to see the other four episodes. It is on every Sunday night at 8:00 PM and ending on Easter Sunday. They are replaying the movie on Wednesday night and I think again on Sunday night before the new episode, in case you missed it last night. It is worth watching!

We are recording the movie so that we can keep a copy of it. When I first saw about the movie online, I was very excited and passed the information about the movie to most people in my email address book. I hope everyone is watching it. They want a great viewer count not only so people get interested in the Bible but also to show "Hollywood" that the Bible is still the Greatest Story Ever Told.

How exciting is that! Do you read your Bible every day? Do you get bored when you read it? Well, I have found that when I read the scripture part of my devotion that it is never boring. But when I read a chapter of say Leviticus, it is a little slow, but then I read a chapter in the book of Psalms, it is really great. Now some of the chapters of King David talking about the sinful things he did probably aren't the most uplifting verses but this book has the most amazing praise of God in it. Try it sometime but ask God to speak to you before you read it. You might be wonderfully surprised.

I said a couple of weeks ago that I would shorten this blog a little, but I have had great trouble doing that. I am still trying, so bear with me. 

Love this scripture:

It is good to praise the Lord
    and make music to your name, O Most High,
2 proclaiming your love in the morning
    and your faithfulness at night,
3 to the music of the ten-stringed lyre
    and the melody of the harp.
4 For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord;
    I sing for joy at what your hands have done.
5 How great are your works, Lord,
    how profound your thoughts!

8 But you, Lord, are forever exalted.
Psalm 92:1-5, 8

If you have trouble praising the Lord, read the Psalms. You can do it, I know you can!

Have a blessed and wonderful 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...
