RESTING


Good morning to you!
I pray that you had a blessed day yesterday. As usual it was an extremely busy day for me. I would love a day when I could just read or do nothing. But I also know that doing nothing is not in me. I feel as though I am not accomplishing anything and for me that is not how I am. I always have to be doing something. Working, fixing, cleaning, helping or whatever I feel I need to do. I am the worst at resting and am probably my own worst enemy in that regard.

Lord, help me to rest and relax. I can't do it alone. I need your help Lord.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, 
and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and 
learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in 
heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For 
my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Matthew 11:28-30

Then, because so many people were coming and 
going that they did not even have a chance to
 eat, he said to them, "Come with me by 
yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest."
Mark 6:31

The LORD replied, "My Presence will go 
with you, and I will give you rest."
Exodus 33:14

The Lord will give us rest but we have to do something about it. We have to take it by the hand and do what He says and rest. For His yoke is easy and His burden is light. 

So, for those of you who are like me, we need to rest. We need to take some time off. We need to ask God to fill us with His presence. We need to be refreshed and revitalized. We need the Spirit of truth to take us and fill us to overflowing with His presence.

Have a wonderful 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...
