PEACE IN CHRIST


Good morning on this great Saturday!
Hope you had a great week. Mine was pretty good just very busy since I was gone for 3 days of it. Which was a definite blessing! R & R is always a way to peace. (But Jesus is the real way.) So, there was lots to do on the last two days and today is set to be very busy also.

I am going to share my devotion from the Upper Room for today. It was really good.

Wiped Clean            Read Colossians 2:9-15


Repent, . . . and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out.

- Acts 3:19 (NIV)

Today's Devotional

Offensive words — big, stark, and depressing — had been scrawled on the wall of the building. Someone came along with a can of paint and painted over the words. The result was a clean, attractive wall.
I had inscribed across my life words, behaviors, and attitudes that were offensive to God. They often appeared in my mind, especially when I began to seek God. How could God, who is righteous, accept me with all the moral and spiritual graffiti polluting my life?
Then I heard about Jesus Christ and the cross. Jesus saw the slate of my failures and offenses and paid the penalty for them. He not only forgave my sins, but also wiped my heart clean. By faith in Christ as my Lord and Savior, I have a new beginning, a new destiny. Calvary is the sign of sin’s defeat. Before the Lord, we are clean.
Raymond N. Hawkins (Tasmania, Australia)
Thought for the Day:
The cross proclaims that we have been made clean.
Prayer: Thank you, dear God, for cleansing my life through the cross of Jesus Christ. May our lives be pleasing in your sight, according to your word and the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Prayer Focus: Those who do not know Christ

If you are one of those who do not know Christ, today is the day of salvation. Give your heart to Jesus. He loves you and wants to have a relationship with you.

Here is a simple website of how to receive Christ:


Have a miraculous 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...
