Well, today is the day! A day for feasting and the giving of thanks for the Feast. I am thankful that feasts are a GOD Thing. Feast
Most often we think of feasting, as it is related to the intake of food. Albeit, I am reminded that we are also privileged to FEAST upon The WORD of GOD. May it be as this month of Thanksgiving continues that we will FEAST on The Scriptures. They will surely nourish us; no other food comes close.
Revelation 3:20 New American Standard Bible 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. source
Hebrews 5:14 King James Version 14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. source
1 Peter 2:2 New Living Translation 2 Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, source
1 Corinthians 5:7-8 New American Standard Bible 7 Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For Christ our Passover also has been sacrificed.8 Therefore let’s celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. source
Just something to chew on today. :)
Because HE came & HE is coming again, Kathie Whitestone Thompson
Let us give thanks for The Word of GOD. Today and all of our days.
The Bible enlightens us, warns us, admonishes us, transforms us, comforts us, encourages us, corrects us, and gives us direction, instructions, and guidance as no other collection of words on a page.
What does the Father say about His Own Word?
Hebrews 4:12 New American Standard Bible 12 For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, even penetrating as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. source
What does the Father say about JESUS? Check out what just these two verses say:
Hebrews 7: 24Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently.25 Therefore He is also able to save forever those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. source And what does the Father say about the enemy?
A lot!
Here’s a sample. 1 Thessalonians 2:4 He will oppose himself to everything that people call a god or make an object of worship; he will put himself above them all, so that he will sit in the Temple of God and proclaim that he himself is God. sourceWhat does Father say to us? EVERYTHING!
1 John 5:21 Children, guard yourselves against false gods!sourceThe New American Standard version puts it this way: 21 Little children, guard yourselves from idols. source
I’ve spoken here a few times that I am working outside the house again, just two days a week. And those two days are heaven-sent. Truly!
I prayed and Father answered in a BIG way! Bigger than I could have imagined!
Do you think of work as a gift?
I hope you do.
GOD gave Adam meaningful activities even before sin messed up all millenniums; if we needed work before the fall, we certainly need meaningful activities today with spendable earnings, I might add.
What did Father say about work? Here’s one:
2 Thessalonians 3:10 New American Standard Bible 10 For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either. source
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
