IN SPIRIT


Good morning to you on this great Monday!
I pray that you had a great weekend and that you have worshiped the Lord every day in Spirit and in truth, especially yesterday with your church family.

We have a special friend who is a missionary and he was with us this weekend and spoke at our church yesterday morning and at our home church last night. Wow, it was powerful! Sometimes we think that God is not doing anything because we don't know about it or can't see it. But He is doing awesome things all over the world. We seem to be a little more immune in the United States to what is going on, to what God is doing. I think we take Him for granted a little bit. I mean, do we really thank Him and praise Him for every little thing that He does? I think not. We should and we try but life gets in the way. 

Having been in another country on a mission trip before, I saw how hungry the people are for Jesus. How uninhibited the people are. When they worship, they really worship. We hold back. What are people going to think of us if we raise our hands, or say amen, or whatever? Our minds tend to be on so many other things in our worship time instead of on Jesus.

If we would truly put all the things we have to do and the troubles in our lives out of our mind and truly worship with our only thought on Jesus, how much more awesome would our worship services be to us. And they probably would not be very quiet. And we wouldn't even know it because our heart and thoughts would be so focused on the Lord Jesus we wouldn't even hear the amen's and yes's and preach it brother's. Our eyes might even be closed in hearing the Word of the Lord. And in our music we might even be on our feet, maybe even dancing in the aisles. If we would only practice in our worship, so that we would know how to do it in heaven when we worship the King Jesus.

Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.  Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.  Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.  Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.  For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.
Psalm 100:1-5 

Oh Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! He has done great things! Praise His Holy Name!

Have a blessed day!

Love,

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...
