HELP US KNOW YOUR WILL


Good morning!
How are you this great morning? I am a little late this morning. I was working on this and my battery went dead. So, then I had to wait until I had enough power to reboot and thought I lost the whole blog but it was still here. Praise God!

It has been a year and a couple of days since God had me start this blog. I praise Him for always helping me with it and with giving me the right words to say. I pray that it has helped you in some way to grow closer to Jesus. It has me.

I will continue on until He tells me that it has run its course. Some things do that, even good things for God. And when He tells us it is time to give something up and do a different thing, then that is what we should do. I hope I always remember that when God is wanting me to give something up that I don't want to. Or that I will listen to Him when I want to give something up and He doesn't want me to. We need to truly seek His face to really know what He wants.

 It is easy to say that I am not going to do that anymore when things aren't going the way I want them to. The key word is "I want". I try to tell myself a lot that it is not about me. It is all about Jesus and what He wants. Wow! That is a hard one. 
Do not be conformed to this world, 
but be transformed by the renewal 
of your mind, that by testing you 
may discern what is the will of God, 
what is good and acceptable and perfect. 
Romans 12:2

The steps of a man are established by
the Lord, when he delights in his way; 
Psalm 37:23

Do not love the world or anything in 
the world. If anyone loves the world, 
the love of the Father is not in him. 
 For everything in the world--the 
cravings of sinful man, the lust of his 
eyes and the boasting of what he has 
and does--comes not from the Father 
but from the world. The world and 
its desires pass away, but the man who 
does the will of God lives forever.  
1 John 2:15-17

Oh, Lord God Almighty, help us to hear your voice leading and guiding us so that we do what you want us to do and not what we want to do. It is so easy to think that our will is yours but that is not to be most of the time. Direct us, O God, to know the difference. In Jesus Name, Amen!

Have a wonderfully, beautiful fall 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...
