HIS WORD


Good morning to you this fine Sunday!
Did you have a great night? I sure slept good. I haven't slept that well since I have been back from Florida. I feel so much better with a good night's sleep. It is a good thing since VBS starts tonight. I need my strength. The hardest part is the decorating. I like to go all out. And there will be several of us working on it so that is great.

I was just reading the back of the Cheerios box. It is talking about reading. "Read Together and They'll Read Forever." I guess someone read to me when I was little because I love to read. I don't have much time for it but I do read my Bible every morning and I read myself to sleep every night. 

One summer when I was off work quite a few years ago, I decided to read a lot. Well, I ended up doing nothing but reading and sleeping mostly all summer and didn't get much else done. So, I told myself I would never do that again. I can't read now until I get everything else done that I need to do. So now I don't read except as I said. 

What I am getting at in a round about way is this: we need to read our Bible. I want to read it forever. I want to read it always. It is God's Word. It is God's guide book for us. Our instruction manual for life.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, 
for correction, for instruction in righteousness. 
2 Timothy 3:16

And the words of the Lord are flawless,
    like silver purified in a crucible,
    like gold refined seven times.
Psalm 12:6

...but these have been written so that 
you may believe that Jesus is the 
Christ, the Son of God; and that
 believing you may have life in His name.
John 20:31 

It is so important to ready God's Word. How can we learn to be like Christ if we don't read His Word that tells us what Christ is like? How can we truly believe if we don't read it?

Read His Word. Study His Word.

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

Learn His Word. Then when you are in trouble, His Word will be in your heart.

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, 
that I might not sin against thee.
Psalm 119:11

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...
