SMALL THINGS

 

Good morning on this blessed morning!
I pray that you had a wonderful day yesterday. We did. We got one of our big to dos done on our renovation. I am so excited. And it is so beautiful. And I praise the Lord that He allowed us to do it. There was 5 guys working on it and they said it would take two days. About half way through the day, they told us that they could get it all done if they stayed until 6 PM. Well, they were leaving at 9 PM. We stayed up until 12:30 AM doing some things that we needed to do before we could put the furniture back in. Well, we never or almost never stay up that late. So, I got to sleep in until about 7:30. And time to get started again. Getting the house back in order and decorating for Christmas will be fun and nearly impossible. But with God all things are possible. God cares about even the small things.

I am reading a book called God is in the Small Stuff at Christmas by Bruce and Stan. God is not only in the small stuff but in everything if you don't shut Him out. I don't ever want to shut Him out of anything in my life and I pray that I never do.

“One who is faithful in a very little is also
 faithful in much, and one who is dishonest 
in a very little is also dishonest in much."
Luke 16:10

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, 
and all these things will be added to you.  
Matthew 6:33

In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and 
said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, 
that you have hidden these things from the wise and 
understanding and revealed them to little children; 
yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.  
Luke 10:21

So, let God be in your life. Let Him show you His love. And then bask in His love. Let Him shine His light in you and through you. Let God use you and be in the small things in your life. There are no coincidences. Everything in your life was planned out completely by God in the beginning. And He will continue to make plans for you, even in the small things.

Have a terrific 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

  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...
