THE SPIRIT

Tuesday


                                                                 
Good morning to you!

The fruit of the Spirit. I know that I have spoke of this before. I think I broke it down into one fruit per daily blog. But God is telling me to remind us of what He wants us to do. How He wants us to act. If we put these attributes in our lives, how much more rich would our lives be.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for 
righteousness, for they will be filled and to
 know this love that surpasses knowledge—
that you may be filled to the measure 
of all the fullness of God. 
Ephesians 3:19 

Do not get drunk on wine, which 
leads to debauchery. Instead, 
be filled with the Spirit, 
Ephesians 5:18

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

I wish to be filled with the Holy Spirit and His fruit, which is the fullness of God. I want to be filled to overflowing with all the attributes of God. 
18 But if you are led by
 the Spirit, you are not under the law.
 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us
 keep in step with the Spirit.
Galatians 5:18:25 

Spirit of God, please produce these fruits in our lives so that we may live to please You, and honor and glorify You.
                                                  
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, 
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 
gentleness, self-control; against 
such things there is no law. 
Galatians 5:22-23

You heard it. There is no law against these things so what is keeping us from them? There is also no law against being led by the Spirit. I guess it might be our human flesh keeping us from these things of God. I am going to try harder. How about you? 

Have a fruitful 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...
