ONLY JESUS MATTERS

Good morning to you!

Why are things so busy when you have so much to do? Why do you have so much to do when you are so busy? I guess the answer is that the devil tries to steer us into chaos and busyness and that is especially the time we need to focus on Jesus. I wrote once before on the busyness of life and how satan uses that to take our focus off Jesus. (It was BUSY-being under satan's yoke.)

I don't want my focus to be on anything or anyone but Jesus. But we are imperfect humans and the things of this world keep us bogged down with unimportant things. Is cleaning the house an earthly thing? Wow, then I don't have to do it, right? Well, not exactly. I guess it is an earthly thing but we still need to do it. We still need to take care of things at home. 

But what I am getting at is that there are many earthly things that are unnecessary, things that we don't need to do or get in to. Things that don't really matter in the grand scheme of things. So, why spend the time doing them when they really don't matter. 

Well, we still need to do the things that need to be done. But we need to be orderly. God is not the author of confusion or chaos. My life seems to get pretty chaotic sometimes. And that seems to be when I have so much to do. And my problem is I don't get much done. I start something and get sidetracked and start something and get sidetracked again. Then I end up with all these chores started and nothing finished. I need to focus not only on Jesus but the important things in life. Help me, Jesus!

Well, the only thing that really matters is the person of Jesus Christ. He is our Rock and our Salvation. He is the Holy One.


“There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no 
one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.
1 Samuel 2:2

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us 
shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
Psalm 95!

You are holy O God! There is no other like You!

So, let's do our best to focus on Jesus in prayer, praise, thanksgiving and worship. If we do our part and step towards Him, then He will do His part and help us and take care of us. We have to make the first step because God is a gentleman, and won't force Himself upon us. Think about it!

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...
