GOD WORKS ON OUR BEHALF



Good morning!
How are you this fine Wednesday? As I said yesterday this is a very busy week. I am sorry that I did my blog on my phone yesterday morning. I had to go somewhere early and since I hadn't posted in a couple of days, I just had to do it that way. That is just what I had to do and with such a small screen it took me awhile. 

At the women's conference in Pensacola this past weekend one of the speakers talked about her marriage. Her husband was not a Christian and turned to alcohol and abuse but she told God that she was going to stay with him and trust God to help her deal with it all. God had to help her every step of the way and she went through a whole lot with her boys with a drunk for a father. But God was in control and after many years her husband received Christ and her marriage changed amazingly. Now I wasn't going to tell you who she was but I think that I will. It was the matriarch, Miss Kay Robertson from Duck Dynasty. Yes, Phil wasn't always a nice guy.

It is wonderful how God can use people to help others. I am sure that there was someone at the conference that really needed to hear what God wanted to say through Miss Kay.

God can even use you or me to help others. We just have to open up ourselves to God's leading and then depend on Him to give us the words or actions that He wants. Remember that God equips the called. So, if He calls you, He is going to equip you. He will give you everything you need to do the job that He calls you to. We don't have to doubt His work in our lives.

God doesn't call the equipped, He equips the called. 

Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord, equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. 
Hebrews 13:20-21

for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
Philippians 2:13

Have a wonderful day!

ASHES TO ASHES

Snow in Pigeon Forge a few weeks ago! Although I am ready for spring! Greetings! I pray that all is well with you! Yesterday was Ash Wednesday. Did your pastor have this service last night? Do you even know what Ash Wednesday is? Well, if you don't I am going to tell you with the help of www.gotquestions.org: "Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent . Its official name is “Day of Ashes,” so called because of the practice of rubbing ashes on one’s forehead in the sign of a cross. Since it is exactly 40 days (excluding Sundays) before Easter Sunday , it will always fall on a Wednesday—there cannot be an “Ash Thursday” or “Ash Monday.” The Bible never mentions Ash Wednesday—for that matter, it never mentions Lent. Lent is intended to be a time of self-denial, moderation, fasting, and the forsaking of sinful activities and habits. Ash Wednesday commences this period of spiritual discipline. Ash Wednesday and Lent are observed by most Catholics and so...

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...
