Just a few pics. We have enjoyed the deepest snow in memory for this part of the deep South.
Fresh fallen and untouched snow, one the most beautiful of sights to me. It reminds me of Scripture. May I share it with you?
Hello Friends, it is a cold night here in lower Alabama and we are promised a cold morning — much colder here than we are accustomed to.
It’s soup weather! We recently tried a new to us soup and we liked it. Let me give you a link — Red Lentil Soup.
If you try it, let me know what you think.
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.
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!
A
nd 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. 😊
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!
GOD intends for His People to be wise; not foolish, not haphazard, not flying by the seat of our pants – whatever that means. I’ve heard it all my life, said it, but didn’t really examine it. Wisdom is the better way.
And then we come to Proverbs.
Today, in particular, Proverbs 8.
Oh please read it for yourself. All of it.
See that wisdom was present at creation. See that wisdom remains for those who seek ‘her’.
Wisdom.
Wisdom is as real and strong as any edifice you will walk past today. No, not as tangible as that mortar and steel building but the effects of wisdom in our lives are surely visible.
Wisdom. Verse 11 For wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire compares with her. LINK
35 For whoever finds me finds life and obtains the favor of the LORD. 36 But he who fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death.” LINK
Proverbs 8 tells us Wisdom was present with Father GOD when He spoke creation in place — and unless we want to ‘create’ a mess today, we will seek wisdom. We can start with Scripture.
I hope you will.
