TIME WITH GOD

 
Good morning to you!

I pray you had a great night. All is well here. Last night I was trying to do several things on the computer. I was getting INTERNAL SERVER ERRORS and the such and I couldn't do what I needed to do. Grrrrrrr!

That kind of stuff just drives me crazy. So I went to bed. My husband was sound asleep on the couch. I tried to get him to go to bed and he said that he couldn't. He works so hard and his job is so physical. I am so proud of him and I can't imagine how he does it. I know God helps him do it. He always says that he does it all for me. That if I wasn't here married to him then he wouldn't work so hard. Well, I know him and he always works hard. He wears me out when I think about it. And before work he always spends time with God. God has blessed me greatly with him.

 My husband woke me up this morning to say good bye when leaving for work. I want him to wake me up and I want to say good bye to him every day. He usually leaves about 6:30 AM. Sometimes I go back to sleep but most of the time I don't. Well, he said good bye to me and left and I got up. While I was making the bed I looked at the clock, it was only 5:30 AM. I had no idea he was leaving that early and I certainly didn't really want to get up that early. But that is okay. I kept making the bed and went to do the normal daily things I do in the morning. Ugh! The earlier you get up the more time you have to get things done during the day.

 Also, the more time I have to spend with Jesus before I have to go somewhere or what ever I have to do. Spending time with my Jesus! I have to do that in the morning. There is nothing wrong with doing it at another time, but for me it starts out my day just right. If I don't do it first thing in the morning, my day just doesn't go right. I feel lost. So, for me the AM is the right time. Even when I worked I didn't need to get up at 5:00 AM but I did just so I would have the best time with the Lord. I set the alarm and for 12 years that is when I got up for work. It worked for me.

 That special time of scripture reading and memorizing, praising God, prayer and maybe a little singing unto the Lord. Some days I write in a journal. I have years worth of journals in which I write to God. 
But seek first the kingdom of God and 
His righteousness, and all these 
things shall be added to you.
Matthew 6:33

But you, when you pray, go into your room, and 
when you have shut your door, pray to your Father 
who is in the secret place; and your Father who 
sees in secret will reward you openly.
Matthew 6:6

Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
Psalm 119:105

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by 
prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your 
requests be made known to God; and the peace 
of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard 
your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7  

So, do these things and see what happens. God is good all the time!

Have a 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

  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...
