BAFFLED AND LOVED

Lake Junaluska, NC

Good morning!
How are you this great and awesome day? Very well, I pray! It is the day that the Lord has made and we shall rejoice and be glad in it!

I had trouble getting into this website this morning and last night I couldn't get into my Firefox web browser. It won't open when you click on it. Nothing happens. (So, glad that I also have Safari which is what Apple gives you on their computers. But I choose to use Firefox.) Now when and how did that happen? It worked just a few hours previous. Those things really baffle me. 

Well, I am sure that a lot of things baffle us in our day to day lives. But God, our Creator, is right there to help us and take us through. He loves us and would do anything for us. You see He sent His One and Only Son here to earth, the sinful place that it is, to spread the Word of the gospel and teach His disciples about Him and His ways. Then, Jesus died a most terrible death on the cross so that our sins would be washed away. But Jesus conquered death. HE rose again! Praise be to God!

Jesus came to earth for you and me. Everything about Jesus's mission on Earth is about saving us from our sins. 

 "And she will bring forth a Son, 
and you shall call His name JESUS, 
for He will save His people from their sins." 
Matthew 1:21

Jesus arose so that we would have everlasting life in heaven with Him. (That is very simplified.) Jesus loves us so much that He willingly did this for us, sinful us. He bought us freedom from eternal death on that Old Rugged Cross. How awesome is that? 

I say this again: if you don't know Jesus as your Savior and Lord, it is time. Don't go another day! It is a matter of life and death. I know that I repeat myself but it is that important. I will be praying for you. And if you do know Jesus and have a personal relationship with Him, then we need to be telling others about Him and what He has done for us. 

Jesus helps us through the most baffling of days. And He never, ever stops loving us no matter how sinful we are. 

The Lord appeared to him (and all of us) from far away. 
I have loved you with an everlasting love; 
therefore, I have continued to 
extend faithful love to you.
Jeremiah 31:3

Now it is only God that you can count on! As soon as we think that we can count on everyone around us, we can be disappointed. But:

He (God) is the Rock, his works are 
perfect, and all his ways are just. A 
faithful God who does no wrong, 
upright and just is he.
Deuteronomy 32:4

So, count on God to love you and bring you through the most baffling of days because He does and He will.

Have an awesome day!

P.S. I am sorry for rambling on, if you think that I do, but my mind just goes and goes sometimes and other times it won't think at all. But Jesus helps me every step of the way. Praise God!

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...
