SEEK JESUS

Good morning!

"Jesus is a thoroughly competent leader. Life begins when a person whispers, "Jesus, today you lead, and I'll follow. Whatever I have to do in my relationships, my body, my health, and my finances are in your hands. I won't try to figure out the rest of my life. I won't try to solve every day. Just today. You lead. I'll follow."
The way to glory is through humbling. The only way to freedom is through submission. The way to victory is through surrender. The way to life is the Jesus way."
This is a quote from John Ortberg,  pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church in Menlo Park, California, and author of The Me I Was Meant to Be (Zondervan, 2010).

What is the best way to grow spiritually?

 

It is really good. I find a great way to learn more about God and seeking Him is to search the internet. I just typed in Google, How do you grow in Christ? And wala! 53,400,000 results! Wow, I don't need that many results. I couldn't read all those in my lifetime. So, I start at the top and click. I only want the truth of God. I am sure a lot of those 53+ million results are not biblical so we have to be careful. But I am always looking for others' ways of teaching the things of God. God's Word is first and foremost but sometimes we just need someone to explain things a bit so we can understand better. The very best way to do that is to ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand. And He can also use other people who are much more learned than me.                                                                            

I could use the many, many commentaries that my husband has on his computer in his pastor's software but I choose to search online. There is so much to find about the One True God, my Lord.

 

This is not for everyone but it is for me. I have learned so much by seeking God in this way-first in His Word and then in seeking the many things of God online.

 

There are awesome websites out there that are so helpful:  christianitytoday.com, gospelway.com, biblestudytools.com, openbible.info for topical scripture, biblegateway.com, allaboutgod.com. I could go on and on but I won't.

 

If you are looking to seek God and His wisdom, searching online is just one way to go. Just be careful what you read. Some of it is not the truth of God!

 

Remember Jesus is our only hope! And He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life!

 

Seek Him only!

 

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

Image
  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...
