I CAN DO IT

 
 
Good morning on this blessed Saturday!

May God be lifted up and glorified! May He be honored and praised! 

This day begins a very busy week ahead for me. I have company coming next Friday and we have Vacation Bible School at my home church for six nights, which I love, and have to do some order delivering on Friday. So, studying and preparing come first, then cleaning my whole house inside and out, and then preparing and delivering. Oh, my! It wears me out just thinking of it all. But:

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Philippians 4:13
 
So, through Christ I can do all things and He will give me strength. Now I suppose this scripture is actually talking about spiritual things. But I choose to believe that Jesus will help us do all things as long as they are good and glorify Him. So, when I get finished with all my busyness this coming week and I do get it all done without being too chaotic, and trusting God, and I share how Jesus helped me do it all, then I am glorifying Him. He cares about everything in our lives not just the big things and the little things but also the good things and the bad things. He wants to help us through it all. And when we are trying to do it all, we need to praise Him and thank Him all the way.
 
For nothing is impossible with God.
Luke 1:37 NLT
 
And it is good to know and believe that with God all things are possible. So, it is possible to get all these things done and more. My time frame is pretty good as long as I don't get sidetracked. I am pretty good at that.
 
When we go through it all, let's trust God to help us in every way. We will trust Him to give us strength and stamina, good night's sleeping, and extra energy during the day to accomplish all the things we need to. Key words: need to. I am sure there are many things I think I need to do but God says that they are really not that important. So, help me discern, Lord, what I need to do and what I don't. Thank you Lord!
 
Have an awesome Saturday knowing that you can do it! Whatever it is that you need to do!

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...
