BE SATISFIED

Thursday
 


 Good morning to you!
How are you this great day? I pray that you had a blessed day yesterday and maybe a great evening at church. We did! Our discipleship Bible study on Wednesday morning is awesome and is going to be even more awesome. We just finished the first lesson yesterday. There is so much to learn. 

Do you have a hunger for more of God? I sure hope so. We are supposed to be hungering for God all the time. We should be wanting to know more of Him and how to be more Christ-like. If you don't have that hunger for the things of God I will be praying for you. And you can pray and ask God for that hunger and thirst for Him.

When he was in the Desert of Judah. You, 
God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; 
I thirst for you, my whole being longs for 
you, in a dry and parched land 
where there is no water.
Psalm 63:1

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst 
for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Matthew 5:6

 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, 
and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:33

But if from there you seek the Lord your 
God, you will find him if you seek him 
with all your heart and with all your soul.
Deuteronomy 4:29 

Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of 
those who seek the LORD rejoice.Look 
to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.
1 Chronicles 16:10-11

One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: 
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all 
the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty 
of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Psalm 27:4

I know that I have said this before but there are so many scriptures out there that talk about seeking God. There are countless scriptures about everything. He wants us to seek Him, to have a hunger and thirst for Him. And the only way to do that is to seek Him. To talk to Him in prayer, to read His Word, to go to church and hear His Word.

If you are going to a church that doesn't preach from the Word of God, you need to find one that does. That is a hard word, but you do. You can't learn the things of God from a sermon that doesn't talk about God using His Word.

So, think about it. Pray about it. Do it! Seek God in a way that you have never done before. And He will satisfy your hunger and thirst. 

On the last and greatest day of the festival, 
Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let 
anyone who is thirsty come to me and 
drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has 
said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”
John 7:37-38  

Have a satisfying 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...
