SEEK THE LORD

 

Good morning on this 1st Sunday of Advent!

Did you have a great Saturday? We got a lot of work done on the house. Mind you we are just tearing it apart. Having never done a renovation before, I hear it takes more time to move stuff and tear it up than it does to do the work. We'll see. I was so tired when I went to bed but here I am at 2 AM having moved to the couch. Ugh! 

And why is it that when you do redo something in the house you find things that don't work and you have to do more redo-ing than you originally planned for now? Oh well. I will get more done than I thought. Praise the Lord for that!

At church we have the Hanging of the Green service tonight and the lighting of the first Advent candle this morning. This is the start of the prettiest season of the year inside the church and my home. Well, maybe not my home this year but maybe I will have time to do some decorating before the 24th. We'll see.

As we anticipate the birthday of our Lord and King, Jesus, what wonder will we see this year? Will we become closer to Jesus, will we accept Him as our Savior, will we just glory in the wonder of the Lord and how awesome He is? What a great time to really seek Him with all our heart. To truly worship Him in spirit and in truth.

But if from there you seek the LORD your 
God, you will find him if you look for him with 
all your heart and with all your soul.
Deuteronomy 4:29
 
Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of 
those who seek the LORD rejoice. Look to the  
LORD and his strength; seek his face always.
1 Chronicles 16:10-11

One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I 
seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD 
all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty 
of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Psalm 27:4

Glory in his holy name; let the hearts 
of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
Psalm 105:3

Yet a time is coming and has now come when
 the true worshipers will worship the Father
 in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of 
worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his 
worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." 
John 4:23-24

And then seeking Jesus and worshiping Him in spirit and truth for the Christmas season will put us where we need to be in the days to come and then beyond this season. 

I want to see where Jesus birthday takes me this year. How about you?

Have a miraculous 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...
