GOD'S HELP


Good morning to you!
Did you get enough turkey and dressing and all the fixings yesterday? Oh it was so good and we have leftovers for a few days. I love it! 

I am late this morning. I did sleep in today which is very unusual for me. But as soon as I got up my husband said to come on let's work on this project. So, with some argument from me I finally gave in and now it is 10 after 11 in the AM and I am just getting started on this blog. 

We are doing some renovations inside our home and well you do have to pack up and move it all out in order to do it. I do have a feeling that we should have waited until after Christmas. I think that this might have been too big a project for the time frame. I mean Christmas will be here before we know it and I will have to decorate and clean (reno won't be done until about the 18 or 19th) before all our kids come. They will be here for Christmas. Praise God!

So, praise God for the reno and praise God for the kids coming. Well, maybe they can help us put it all back together. What fun! I just have a feeling that maybe we bit off more than we can chew between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Ugh! But remember:
I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
Philippians 4:13 

But I do know that Christ will give us strength to do the things that He wants us to do not necessarily the things that we want to do. But I pray in the name of Jesus that He will help us get through this busy time that we have put ourselves into. Some of it probably not His will.

I don't think that God wants us to get ourselves into things that will get us totally stressed out and anxiety-filled but He will get us through it. And just maybe with our boot straps still fastened and our head still on straight.

No, God is awesome and He will help us every step of the way no matter what we get ourselves into and need to get out of.

 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne
 of grace, that we may obtain mercy and
 find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:16
 
 God is our refuge and strength, A very present
 help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, 
Even though the earth be removed, And though the 
mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
Psalm 46:1-2

“Every word of God is pure; He is a shield 
to those who put their trust in Him." 
 Proverbs 30:5

... "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread
alone, but by every word of God.'"
Luke 4:4

I will lift up my eyes to the hills — From whence
 comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, 
Who made heaven and earth. He will not 
allow your foot to be moved; He who 
keeps you will not slumber.
Psalm 121:1-3  

So, don't worry about what you are going through. You can be concerned but don't worry. It won't help and that is one thing that God doesn't like. It means we are not trusting Him.

Let's put our trust in Him knowing that He will help us and get us through it.

Have a marvelous 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...
