Investing in hope. That sounds like a great idea to me! Immediately this comes to mind: My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
ABBA, we publicly acknowledge our hope is in CHRIST alone; in His finished work; only His righteousness and cleansing blood are sufficient to save we the people. Thank You for birthing America. Please forgive us for corrupting it; forgive us for allowing a minority to close the mouths of the majority; and, ABBA, if we are still the majority, and even if we are not, I pray You will quicken us and save America. Thank You for hearing our prayers today and, HOLY SPIRIT, please inspire, call and empower every Christian in America to live holy and boldly and pray and pray until we the people are moved to repentance. I pray we will live2 Chronicles 7:14; for if we do I know You will surely save this Land.
Day 121 of 2014, praying for revival in the Body of CHRIST.
I’ve noticed if I watch cooking shows, I cook more. Not only do I cook more but I do so with more excitement and anticipation. Yep! watching cooking shows is good inspiration for meal preparation for me.
And with fabulous near bout appendages like I phones and Androids connected to the internet world, I can take my recipes to the grocery with me for a quick and convenient shopping list. I like my ZipList Recipe clipper and accompanying Recipe Box. ClickHERE and check outSkinnyMs Recipes. Start your own recipe box.
Good tasting, nourishing meals come with inspiration and preparation.
So does a good tasting, nourishing, flourishing Christian Life.
Inspiration and preparation.
The cooking channel, the SkinnyMs website, and other venues, educate and inspire me to prepare meals that I otherwise would not offer to my family.
So what inspires and prepares me to live the Christian Life well?
The Living WORD of the Living GOD.
There are a group of people mentioned in the Bible; in Acts 17 to be exact – The Bereans. Here’s what It says about them.
10 But as soon as night fell, the brothers sent Sha’ul and Sila off to Berea. As soon as they arrived, they went to the synagogue. 11 Now the people here were of nobler character than the ones in Thessalonica; they eagerly welcomed the message, checking the Tanakh every day to see if the things Sha’ul was saying were true. 12 Many of them came to trust, as did a number of prominent Greek women and not a few Greek men.
I’m not a good and proficient Berean yet – pray with me that I will yet dig in deeper.
ABBA, thank You in YEHSUA’s Holy Name, for this cooking lesson leading us to Your WORD. Thank You for messages in everyday things. Thank You for Your WORD that inspires and prepares us to live well; good, nourishing, flourishing lives that whet the appetite of others to come, taste and see that You are good. So I pray for myself and for all who gather here that we will allow You, HOLY SPIRIT, to make us like the Bereans of old searching Your Scripture daily and obeying what we find there. And all DADDY GOD’s children said — amen.
8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
I have two updates my friends since my requests for prayer on Wednesday.
Our much-loved Jamie took flight for HOME on Wednesday evening. She is well now. JT and I were able to tell her we love her and give JESUS praise over her before she transitioned from here to Heaven. Her family was with her when she departed; they are rejoicing that she is no longer in pain but you and I know that the missing will be hard; so please pray for them. Jamie was an extraordinary Christian! And I do mean extraordinary. There was nothing mediocre about Jamie’s faith and love for JESUS and others! I do not understand the healing there instead of here but this I know GOD is good and He is kind.
17 The Lord is righteous in all His ways and kind in all His deeds.
18 The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth.
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?
