Legalizing

 22 Abstain from every form of evil. I Thessalonians 5

Have you heard what Colorado is planning to do?  Perhaps you have an idea by now that this is shaping up to be an unusual post for this blog. 

I have a couple of links for you.

Colorado bill would fully legalize prostitution

and one more

Decriminalize Adult Commercial Sexual Activity

You are correct. Colorado is a long way from Lower Alabama, but it did make our Local News, didn’t it?  

Proponents have long said we cannot legislate morality, but we do.  Murder comes with penalties. So does theft.  Perhaps it’s just sexual perversion that is above the law.  Why is that?

Just something out of my norm for you to ponder this weekend, if you will.

Laboring or Resting?

Labor Day 

Observed the first Monday in September, Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. The holiday is rooted in the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize the many contributions workers have made to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being.

To read more of the article hosted by the United States Department of Labor, click HERE.

And so, since June 28, 1894, Labor Day has been a Federal holiday here in America.  The first Labor Day parade is depicted here:

And so, today, some will rest from their customary work, while others will attend their jobs as usual.  As you would expect from me, I have to tie this to Scripture.  For sure I do!😊

Rest. Because of the Unsurpassed Labor of the LORD JESUS, you and I have REST. 
Rest from the labor of trying to save ourselves! We have and can continue RESTING in the Finished Work of Our Savior. That’s really good news, any day, not just today! 

Matthew 11: 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. KJV

So I have to ask, are you laboring today or resting?

ONE!

This is bright and powerful in my mind this morning.

GOD has the power to raise the dead to life again! He has the power and authority to restart a heart, turn on brain waves again, put movement to feet, legs, arms, and hands, gone stiff.

Who else can do that?

No One!

This being true – why would we allow anything to stop us from knowing and keeping company with this ONE?

Perhaps One would say, I don’t believe that.

Okay.

The beautiful truth is even if we don’t believe or receive, He still is.

Looking Skyward, Kathie

Home – Roof

These two words I noticed in this passage today. Perhaps for the first time – together.

Mark 2:1-5

What would you do if that was your roof? What did HE do?

Until next time, Kathie

Conduit

Maybe it’s just me but I don’t like the phrase GOD wants to use you.
I’m sorry, it just about makes me cringe. Not sure why. Probably something from long ago.
But let’s move on to what I do like.

Co-Laborers with GOD.

1 Corinthians 3:9 King James Version  9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.

GOD is willing to love people. HE is willing to speak to people. How does HE do that?
His HOLY SPIRIT does this!

And HE in us speaks TRUTH.
HE in us helps the needy.
HE in us gives wise counsel.
HE in us comes alongside the lonely, the scared, and the broken, and cares for them.

It’s not a using me program – no it’s a giving us the privilege, giving you and me the privilege to watch ourselves do what we know we neither have the knowledge nor the love to do, but we see ourselves doing it!
And HE in us can do it all!
And HE if we will humble ourselves and agree to be holy conduits, HE will work with us, in us, and through us!

Perhaps it’s just the turn of a phrase but it’s mine and you are welcome to use it. 😊

Until next time  ~~~ Holy hugs, Kathie 

PS and here I sit on April 2, 2025, prayer Journaling asking Father to make sure none of the things He has done for me and in me goes unused by Him for His glory, for His Kingdom. When Father GOD is the One doing the using it’s a holy, wonderful, amazing, thrilling, glorious adventure. Just thought I’d give y’all this update. 😊 Oh to be USED by GOD! Every day please!
