DEPEND ON GOD


Good morning to you!

May God bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you and give you peace!

I had a wonderful weekend in Gatlinburg. We actually got home last night. It was a working weekend but filled with fun and great food. We had some awesome meals. I actually ate too much but enjoyed every minute of it. We met some really nice people trying to promote our Bios-Life Matcha Green Tea. It was a wholesalers show. I will admit I am very tired.  But it was worth every minute of it. I had sinus issues when I got there and it got a little worse while there with coughing and such but God is good and He will help me through it.

Just talked to my Dad. My step-mom is having a rough bout with some health issues and isn't feeling well at all. Went to doctor and they sent her to the emergency room. Then went to emergency room and they just handed out drugs (three different antibiotics and a pain killer) which aren't working, and after four hours sent her on her way without knowing more than when they got there. Ugh! Just a start of what health care is going to be like. It is a crying shame. It just shows us how much more we are going to need to depend on God for our every need. And maybe even get us a little more interested in natural cures with healthy food and supplements.

My salvation and my honor depend on God; 
he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
Psalm 62:7

 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, 
what you will eat or drink; or about your body, 
what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the
 body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; 
they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, 
and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you 
not much more valuable than they? Can any one of 
you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
Matthew 6:25-27 

Look this passage up and read through verse 34. God is telling us to totally depend on Him for every little thing. He knows what we are going through and how we feel. But worrying about these things does us no good. We just need to seek God's face and share every little detail with Him in prayer and worship and then with praise and thanksgiving for what He has done and will do. He is in control! He loves us that much to take care of every little itch or pain or trouble in His time. He knows absolutely what is best for us and what we can handle. 

So, spend this day depending on God, and the next day and the next. The more we do it, the easier it will get. And He will help us even do that. He is that awesome and loving and caring!

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...
