1 Chronicles, 2023, Giving Thanks

Precious Little Things

Leave a comment

How about something light this morning? Something that includes things that bring on thanks for me.

Like house slippers and jeans gifted with love from a Friend’s closet.
A hand-thrown pottery cup (purchased at a favored place) filled with lemon ginger tea and served alongside buttered and grilled bread; not just any bread – cranberry white chocolate bread. Yum! and Thank YOU!

May I encourage you, my Friends, to enjoy some of your favorite little things today and give thanks? Give thanks to The Father for the things, but more than that, the people associated with the things. I must say that most things precious to me are precious because someone treasured is attached thereto.

1 Chronicles 16:8  Give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name; Make His deeds known among the peoples.

Take care, My Friends, Kathie

Mirror – Beautiful

1 Chronicles 17

Did you know that 1 Chronicles 17 and 2 Samuel 7 are companion chapters?
I didn’t until today, specifically. 
Today, as I began to read I said to myself, wait this reads like what I read a few days ago.  
So, I checked, and yes 1 Chronicles 17 and 2 Samuel 7 mirror each other. 

Even though the information mirrors one another, the account was fresh today. 
A different portion lifted off the page today. 
Here, let me share it with you. 

I encourage you to either pick up your own copy of Scripture or use this LINK and read verses 16 – 27.  Beautiful.  Absolutely beautiful.

David got the news, you are not going to build a House for Me. 
He took it in stride and went to sit before the LORD. 
And he began to talk to the LORD. 
He said to Him what my daughters and I have said often. 

16 Then David went in, sat before Adonai and said, “Who am I, Adonai, God, and what is my family, that has caused you to bring me this far?   source 

And as I kept reading:

19 Adonai, it is for your servant’s sake and in accordance with your own heart that you have done all this greatness and revealed all these great things.   source

Have you ever read anything so beautiful?

IN ACCORDANCE WITH HIS VERY OWN HEART — and for the sake of His servant, HE has done these things. 

Is GOD good to you? 
Now you know why — simply because He is GOD and He wants to and because He is GOD, He can NEVER want to do less than GOOD for you. 

As I close, please be sure to read verses 16-27. 
You don’t want to miss the beauty, the wonder, and the awe. 

In particular — let us shout this not only with our voices but our deeds:

20 Adonai, there is no one like you, and there is no God besides you — everything we have heard confirms that.  source 

Love, Kathie

1 Chronicles, 2022, A Quick Hello, Just Chatty Today, Questions

Sunday Evening, Monday Morning

Leave a comment

It is later on Sunday evening than I would like for it to be for me to be opening a blank page to write for Monday morning, and at this keystroke, I am wondering what can I say. What can I write that will start your day or come alongside later in the day or even the evening with a word of encouragement? 

How was your weekend? 
Did you spend it with family and/or friends?
Did you celebrate the people in your life that you love?
Did you give thanks for them?
Did you laugh? Did you cry? 
Did you watch birds and squirrels? Even a hawk or two? 

Did you pray? Did you enjoy JESUS?

If you did — you had a blessed weekend!

    for he is coming to judge the earth.

34 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever.
35 Cry out, “Save us, O God of our salvation!
Gather and rescue us from among the nations,
so we can thank your holy name
and rejoice and praise you.” source 

Indeed our GOD is coming. 
Amen and amen.
