STUDY


Good morning on this beautiful Tuesday!
Hope your night was as good as mine. I am at my son and daughter-in-law's. We are getting ready for my oldest grandson's kindergarten graduation. It seems like only yesterday that I was holding him in my arms right after he was born. 

He was reading a book to me yesterday afternoon. I was amazed to hear him read to me and he was telling me all about the state of Tennessee, the state bird, and state wild animal, the state flag and such. He was telling me the names of the states. Wow! They learn so much in kindergarten these days. It is not just play time anymore. And that is good because I heard that children learn more quickly during their early years than at any other time in life. Or something amazing like that anyway.

And the more we read and learn about God's Word, the more we know about God.

I give you sound learning, so do 
not forsake my teaching.
Proverbs 4:2

Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; 
teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.
Proverbs 9:9

They will, however, become subject to him, so that 
they may learn the difference between serving 
me and serving the kings of other lands.”
2 Chronicles 12:8

Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the 
oppressed. Take up the cause of the 
fatherless; plead the case of the widow.
Isaiah 1:17

Learning is so wonderful. And we live in a world with so much to learn. It is our own fault if we don't study something to learn.

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, 
a workman that needeth not to be 
ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:15

How do we learn and know the truth of God unless we study? We are never to young or too old to study and learn more than we already know especially about God. The more we learn about Him, the more we can be like Him. And that is our goal, to be more and more like Christ. We will never be Him and we will never be perfect as Christ, but we can try our best to be more like Him today than we were yesterday.

You can 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...
