OBEDIENCE

 Good morning this Sabbath Day!
I am watching Dr. Charles Stanley's show or church service that is on every Sunday morning and I believe other times also. It is always so good. He is a great teacher and preacher and tells it like it is. If you watch and feel like he is telling you God's Word and putting you down with it, so you don't watch it anymore, well, maybe you are being convicted. We need to be convicted. We need to know we aren't following God the way we are supposed to. But God is certainly not condemning us. He will never do that, ever. He keeps His Word always. And He keeps His promises!

I just want you to know that if you are not in church or are in church, watch Charles Stanley's show- In Touch. Get God's Word that way besides in church and in His Word. He wants us to know Him better, to love Him more, to be more obedient to Him. And how do you know how to be obedient? Reading His Word and following it, talking to Him and listening to Him, going to church are the very best ways there is. There is also worshiping Him, praising Him and thanking Him. How awesome is that? I want to do it all. 

 I can do all things through 
Christ who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13

So, we can do this all if we want to be obedient to Him. And we should always do it. "It is wise to be obedient to God," says Charles Stanley. "Obeying God is always the right thing to do, but it’s not always the easiest. We need courage—a special quality of mind and spirit that enables us to meet danger, opposition and the challenges of life with steadfast fearlessness. In this message, Dr. Stanley explains that it always benefits us to obey the principles of the Word of God." And I want to be wise and obedient. Don't you?

Have a fabulous 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...
