NEW YEAR?




Good day to you!

 Happy New Year to everyone!

Christmas is over. But in all reality Christmas is never over. Never done. Never finished. It is always with us. Christ is always with us!

 Deuteronomy 31:6
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

So, it is the stress, the hustle and bustle, the extreme busyness that is finished, past, over until next year. But Jesus is not over until next year. It may be His birthday that only comes once a year just like our birthdays. But just like us we don't go away or disappear. Neither does Jesus. He is with us always. He is in our heart!

 Is Jesus in your heart? Have you asked Him to live in your heart? If you have not, it is time.

2 Corinthians 6:2
for He says, "AT THE ACCEPTABLE TIME I LISTENED TO YOU, AND ON THE DAY OF SALVATION I HELPED YOU." Behold, now is "THE ACCEPTABLE TIME," behold, now is "THE DAY OF SALVATION "--

It is a new year. Never even thought years ago about being alive in 2015. I didn't know where I would be or never really thought about it. What ever happened or didn't happen in the past is just that: in the past. The new is coming. A new year. A time to forget about the past and move on. A new beginning. A time to make changes. A time for new and throwing out the old. And Jesus is the key to all this. 

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

When you accept Jesus as Lord then the old things have passed away or get thrown out and everything becomes new. Hallelujah! Now this may not happen overnight but it will happen. We must let God work in our lives and He will. 

Just like last year is gone and we now have a new year to start over, to begin anew, to refresh or regroup and we pray that it will be a better year. We always would like an even better year ahead.

So, as this New Year's Day ends and tomorrow begins, let's ask God to touch our lives, to refresh us, to lead, guide, and direct us, to fill our cups not just half full but to overflowing.

Blessings,

Lesbear

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...
