WORSHIP

 

Good morning on this fine Sunday!
What a blessed day to worship the Lord! Every day is a blessed day to worship the Lord. But Sunday is the day we have the privilege of doing it with all of God's children in our lives. 

I pray that you go to church. God wants us there. I have heard people say that they can't go because they don't get anything out of it or they don't know anyone or people aren't friendly. Well, you don't go to get. You go to give your worship to God. If you don't get anything out of it then you have your mind on lunch or something else instead of Jesus. Sometimes in church we try to pick it apart instead of worship. And if people are not friendly then you are at the wrong church. Sometimes you have to try lots of churches to find the right Bible-teaching one. And you need to try them more than once. But when you do find the right one, you will know it. 

Sometimes it is impossible to go to church because of work or illness, but you can still hear preaching. There are lots of preachers on the radio on Sunday morning and lots of TV shows like Charles Stanley, whom I love to listen to. So just listen and hear the Word of God somehow, some way!

And as I said you don't go to get something. Although if you worship God in Spirit and in truth as He tells us to, then He will definitely give you something. When you are listening to God's Word preached, if your focus is on Him and His Word and not something else, then you will get something from Him. He loves you and cares for you and you are His beloved. He is going to give you something!

Sometimes we go to give a kind word to someone. Or give a smile to someone who needs it. Or to show the love of Jesus to someone with a hug. Whatever it is, follow God's leading and He will definitely give you something to give and then you will receive. But receiving is not what we go for. 

John 4:23

Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 

Hebrews 10:25 

Not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Matthew 18:20

For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”

Exodus 20:8 

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Romans 10:17

So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

Hebrews 10:24

And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,

Acts 2:42

And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

So, go hear God's Word and give something of yourself and just see what God gives you because He loves you.

Have an awesome 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...
