GOD'S WAY


Good morning on this fine day!
I am so excited. It didn't even rain yesterday. The sun was so bright and the sky was blue. It was such a nice change. Do you know that it has rained 12 inches here? I heard that on the radio yesterday. And the forecast is rain every day for 10 more days. No wonder we are floating away.

Do you ever feel as though God is floating away from you? Do you feel as though your prayers are hitting the ceiling? Well, God isn't floating away. And your prayers aren't hitting the ceiling. They are going directly to the heart of God. He loves us and He hears our prayers and He answers our prayers. And as I said yesterday, He will never leave us or forsake us.

He may not answer our prayers right away. Remember His timing is perfect. It will not be in our time. We have to be patient and wait on God. And the answer could be yes, no, or maybe, or not now. Sometimes when He says no about something we ask for, we think that He is not answering. Well, He is answering but it is just not our way. If He says no, then it is not in His will. But He knows what is best for us. And always He has something better in store for us. His way is always better. 

And He does want us to do things His way, that is what following Jesus is all about.

“Wash yourselves, 
make yourselves clean;
Put away the evil of your 
doings from before My eyes.
Cease to do evil,
Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Rebuke the oppressor;
Defend the fatherless,
Plead for the widow.
“Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.
 If you are willing and obedient,
     You shall eat the good of the land;
But if you refuse and rebel,
You shall be devoured by the sword”;
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken."
Isaiah 1:16-20

Oh, Lord, help us to please You in all we do, and to be Your disciples. And if we don't know how to do that, help us Lord, for nothing is impossible with You. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Have a fabulous 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...
