PRAY




I just found this blog that I wrote on the 20th and never posted. Am I too busy for my own good or what?
12-20


Good morning to you!
I pray that you are well today. I sure am. God is so good. Our daughter and son-in-law will be here tomorrow night. I am so excited. They haven't been home for two years. And my son and family will be here late on Christmas Eve. Pray for traveling safety from South Florida and middle Tennessee.

Let's also pray for those who are hurting. I know that there are so many that are sick at this time. Or those who for some reason are very sad and that is not how we want to be at this time of the year. But it happens. Only God knows what others are going through. So, we don't need to know the details to pray for someone. We can just lift up their name to the Lord, and He will hear our prayers and know every detail of the situation. 

I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, 
intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone-- 
1 timothy 2:1

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all 
kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert 
and always keep on praying for all the saints.  
Ephesians 6:18 

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray
 for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer
 of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
James 5:16

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, 
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, 
present your requests to God.
Philippians 4:6

So, pray for others. The checker at the store may be grumpy, but there may be a very good reason for that. Their husband might have left them or their child got in trouble or something has happened that you have no idea. We never know what others are going through. We just need to show them the love of Jesus and pray for them. 

So, let's love and pray for everyone. God calls us to love and pray for others.

Have a blessed day!

Love,
        Les (lesbear)

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...
