GLORIFY HIM


Good morning on this fine, 
rainy Sabbath morning!

I keep praying the sun will come out. I don't think that we have seen the sun in a week. I know it is sunny somewhere, probably out west where the temperatures are in the 120's.

I have heard that places where it is damp and rainy all the time, there is a higher percentage of depressed people. I can sure see why. Dreary, dreary, dreary! And I am not depressed, at least I don't think so. I just know that when the sun is shining, my heart soars, and the outlook is bright, and I feel different. 

But I know that the Son shines all the time. My Jesus shines and loves me rain or shine. He blesses me all the time. 

Out of Zion, the perfection of 
beauty, God will shine forth.
Psalm 50:2

Restore us, O God; Cause Your face
 to shine, And we shall be saved!
Psalm 80:3

Let your light so shine before men, that they 
may see your good works and glorify 
your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:16

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, 
a holy nation, His own special people, that you may
 proclaim the praises of Him who called you 
out of darkness into His marvelous light;
1 Peter 2:9

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am 
the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not 
walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
John 8:12

Oh, awesome is He, the Light of the world. His light is perfect. He will cause us to shine, rain or shine. We are to be His light to the people around us. Jesus shines in us, if we let Him. Of course, we have to know Him as our Savior. He has chose us to be His own special people, to leave the dark part of our lives and live in His marvelous light. And then as we love Him and know Him better, then His light shines in us,  and we serve Him more, and glorify our Father in heaven. 

And how much I want to glorify Him all the time. "Lord, forgive me of my sins, when I don't glorify You." I guess in order to glorify Him all the time, I will have to be in heaven. As much as I am so ready to go there, I am not ready to leave my family and friends. But when God says so, I am ready. So, I will do better at living my life here on earth to glorify Him. 

Are you ready to do that also?

Have a blessed day worshiping Him!

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...
