Random and Rambling

Remember my So Be It post?
In case you missed it, click HERE.
As I was catching up on some reading in my Journey Magazine for last Friday, I read these words: “When you really care for someone you speak the truth, even when it’s difficult.”
Would y’all consider that a reminder and more confirmation?
I’m still praying for those who said yes for prayer in this regard.

It has been Monday all day! :)

I really do like the new lay out of The White Stone.  If you read by email, you don’t get the benefit of seeing the web page.  But you can! Just click the title of today’s post near the top in the body of your email and that will direct you to the website.  :)

Tonight’s  supper is vegetable beef soup — just some Thompson trivia!

Truthfully, I’m not in much of a writing mood today; but I’m trying to get computer time done before my beloved gets home – not that he minds but just thinking it’s not too late in this new year to practice some good habits.  The FlyLady would be proud! Yep! still hanging out with the FlyLady. Some days I fly better than others. But my sink’s shiny before I go to bed each night. :)

One more word and this one is from ABBA I am sure. It would do us well to meditate upon it this Tuesday or any day:

James 1:5 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

Just a word from the Word for you to carry with you through this day.

Deuteronomy 4:31 For the LORD your God is a compassionate God; He will not fail you nor destroy you nor forget the covenant with your fathers which He swore to them.
via Deut 4 NASB – Israel Urged to Obey Gods Law Now O – Bible Gateway.

Deuteronomy 4:39 Know therefore today, and take it to your heart, that the LORD, He is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other.
40 So you shall keep His statutes and His commandments which I am giving you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may live long on the land which the LORD your God is giving you for all time.”
via Deut 4 NASB – Israel Urged to Obey Gods Law Now O – Bible Gateway.

For the LORD your GOD is a compassionate God.
He will not fail you today.
Take these words to heart, write them on the walls of your mind, and they will grow for you a bountiful harvest of peace.

Prayer is breathing for the Christian.

Just As I Am,

What’s Within?

Psalm 103

1. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name.

I read it and rested on — and all that is within me.

What’s in me, I asked me. The answer was not coming quickly. Other than the answer one would expect a Christian to answer – The HOLY SPIRIT.

It was my beloved who astounded me with the answer. He began with attitudes. He says we all have them within us. He so totally bowled me over with the sobering truth of what is in me. He enumerated emotions that he has seen in me. Some I’m humbled to hear he sees; some I am ashamed to admit.

Attitudes.
Like
eagerness for some things and apathy toward other things (perhaps people too, and not just things)
willingness for  and stubbornness against
love and hate
tenderness and callousness
procrastinating vs impetuous
generous and selfish

Perhaps you could name others.

Now back to  — and all that is within me.
With all that is within me, all my attitudes, wounds, hurts, strengths, weaknesses, prejudices, fears, doubts, knowledge, wisdom, experiences, victories, defeats; with all that is within me I am to bless the LORD.
Let me say it again. Let it sink in. I am to bless the LORD with all those things jumbled, tangled, running, still within me! So are you.

How can that be? How can we bless Him with bad attitudes, wounds, hurts, weaknesses, prejudices, fears, doubts, defeats?
Surrender I think.
Surrender the good. Surrender the bad to the LORDSHIP of JESUS CHRIST.

He can use it all, you know. Really.
The good, ministering to others. And the bad? Well, once we are healed, even the bad will minister in His name.
And what would bless Him more than for us to help others and be made whole ourselves?

And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

And all that is within you too, bless His holy name!

Prayer for the Christian is breathing.

JESUS LOVES YOU +++
