GOD'S WAY

 
Good morning to you on this blessed Saturday!

Friday was a very busy day. Was it for you? But God always helps to make it work. And if it doesn't go the way I want, that is okay. God is in control. Praise Him! I don't want to be in control. Although I do try to take over things and I shouldn't. I need to let God have control. It is really hard. 

We have also received an inheritance in Him, 
predestined according to the purpose of the 
One who works out everything in agreement 
with the decision of His will, 12 so that we who 
had already put our hope in the Messiah 
might bring praise to His glory.
Ephesians 1:11-12
 
He rules forever by his power,
    his eyes watch the nations—
    let not the rebellious rise up against him.
Psalm 66:7
 
Does this mean if we do things our way we are rebellious? Oh my! 
 
Because the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
    and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”
Hebrews 12:6  
 
So, doing things our way is rebellious and therefore God disciplines us. 
 
The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; 
let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. 
Psalm 97:1 
 
Instead of doing things our way, we need to let God have His way. As I said the other day, our God reigns. So, let Him do it! Remember I am especially talking to myself in these things. But it just might be something someone else needs to hear also.

Well, our God reigns! What an awesome thing! We don't have to do it all. We don't have to be in charge. In all reality, who wants to be in charge. Not me. When we are in charge, it seems that no one agrees with us. So, let's work at letting God be in control. His ways are perfect!

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

  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...
