FOR CHRIST


Good morning!
Running a little late this morning. Trying to follow a schedule to get better organized. Unfortunately, I have already messed up and running late. Go figure! I will post this and then add to it as I get more done.

It is cool and blustery today. One of those days when you don't want to have to do anything and I have two doctors appts. today. Oh well!

I only got a couple of hours of sleep last night. Something was going on and I couldn't sleep. I had crampings in my body. It was almost like labor pains, about every 15-30 minutes. So, I would doze and then wake up and did that all night long. But most of the time I just laid there.

Have you had nights like that? Where you just lay there but are much too tired to get up and do something.

For God is not a God of confusion but 
of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,  
1 Corinthians 14:33

And the Lord answered me: “Write 
the vision; make it plain on tablets, 
so he may run who reads it. 
Habbakak 2:2

They ministered with song before 
the tabernacle of the tent of meeting
 until Solomon built the house of 
the Lord in Jerusalem, and they performed
 their service according to their order.  
1 Chronicles 6:32

But all things should be done 
decently and in order. 
1 Corinthians 14:40

All these verses have to do with order, organization. In the church we are to be organized, led by the Holy Spirit but organized. There is an order that things should be done. I believe it should be that way in our lives also. 

We should be that way in our homes, and also in our lives. I have always been a list maker. It does help normally but lately it isn't always working. If we are disorganized and disorderly, then our thoughts are also that way, cluttered just like my home. It is hard to focus on the One who gave us life during those times. 

Our Heavenly Father knows what is going on in our lives and He wants us to be peaceful and when we are not organized and such, we are far from peace. I know all these things from personal experience. I have always been an organized person and when planning for others and other things I am pretty organized. But in my life and my home I have gotten far from it. And then I get flustered and impatient with myself and there is no peace.

So, this day let us try to put our lives together in an organized fashion despite the confusion of the world, and do everything "decently and in order".

Have a wonderful 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...
