A Quick Hello, Christian Living

SOS

Gallery Leave a comment

You know it is a SOS day (an opportunity to practice what you preach) when you wake up late after incessant dog barking disturbed your sleep and before you can get to the kitchen you stumble over stuff you didn’t leave out. And the first word of Scripture you read is

6 Your speech should always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer each person.

via Col 4:6 HCSB – Your speech should always be gracious, – Bible Gateway.

Good morning Dear Friends!

Yep! That’s when you know Your Gracious Loving ABBA has snapped you back from the brink of a ruined day. :)

ABBA, thank You for Your Word and for accountability with Dear Friends and Loving Family! I pray for each who will come here today; that in You they will find strength to give an answer seasoned with grace to even the most exasperating soul they encounter today; even though they are tired and worn and stressed. I pray HOLY SPIRIT that You will refresh souls today at this page.
Kerri. Pleading for your intervention. Terri and family. For healing and restoration. Leslie. Continued healing. And others, ABBA. Many issues and circumstances beyond our control; we trust You in the Mighty Name of YESHUA. Amen and amen.

Christian Living, Soul Detox

Guard Your Heart

Day 1

Soul De-toxing = getting the toxins out.  The question of the day over at Soul Detox – You Version is this:

How have your toxic thoughts negatively affected your life and relationships?

via Proverbs 4 HCSB | YouVersion.com.

The reading passage for today is Proverbs 4.

If you will when you have completed your reading, comment the verses the HOLY SPIRIT highlighted for you today.

These are mine:

23Guard your heart above all else, for it is the source of life.
24Don’t let your mouth speak dishonestly, and don’t let your lips talk deviously.

via Proverbs 4 HCSB | YouVersion.com.

Guard my heart. 

Okay. That means standing sentry over what comes into my soul by way of my senses. I see the challenge there. five-sensesAnd I see without the HOLY SPIRIT’s help, I’m sunk. How about you?

Don’t let my mouth speak dishonestly. I get that. And I might as well be truthful here with you :) The HOLY SPIRIT cured me of willful lying many years ago. If I tell you an untruth, it will for sure be through ignorance.  I promise you that!

Don’t let the lips talk deviously. A worthy challenge and for sure is a factor in detoxing our souls!  Reminds me of this:

Philippians 4:8 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)

8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things.

via Philippians 4:8 KJ21 – Finally, brethren, whatsoever things – Bible Gateway.

So when I think THIS way, what comes from my lips for sure will NOT be devious. 

That’s plenty to chew on today — don’t you think?

Any of you IN enough to comment your ‘highlights’ for today?

See you tomorrow – ABBA willing!

Assurance - Promise, Theme Praying

Hold On Room

Gallery 1 Comment

First thing in my journal this morning was a request for help.

And the first Scripture I read was this:

13 For I, Yahweh your God, hold your right hand and say to you: Do not fear, I will help you.

via Is 41 HCSB – The LORD versus the Nations’ Gods – Bible Gateway.

Not all answers and assurances come that quickly but when they do the proper response is gratitude and holding on to the promise. I’m  delighted to share my Scripture with you this morning and there is plenty of hold on room for you too.

I know. Some answers are long in coming. And when they are our response must be the same: gratitude and holding on to the promises. 

Hold on today! Or perhaps it is one of those days when you just can’t hold on? That’s okay.  LET Him hold YOU today.

Praying for sisters and brothers to LET Jesus hold them today.

ABBA, thank You. You are awesome. You listen. You hear. And You answer when Your children call. Thank You for answering our fears with Your very own voice. And You say do not fear, I will help you. And there is nothing too small or too large. You help with it all. Thank You. Dawn. Help her today do all that demands to be done. And there are others. Many others, ABBA. Thank You for helping us. Thank You in JESUS name.

Blessings to you Dear Friends    +++

Remember YOU have the God-given RIGHT to do right in this wrong world!
