Christian Living, Gals of Scripture, Prayer Requests

Nothing Like I Planned

Gallery Leave a comment

I’m checking in for a quick Tuesday morning hello since I did not sit to write on Monday. :( One of Monday’s activities was a Memorial Service. Kathy was only 54 and a young 54 at that!  Her husband, Mike, for a long while now as the HOLY SPIRIT reminds you please pray for him.

It is a cloudy, misty morning here in Lower Alabama – quiet too. I am taking a break from preparing for Thursday night’s Bible Study. You may recall I named it Gals of Scripture. And so far it has gone nothing as I had planned.

The first Thursday night I was home with hubby freshly home from an unexpected hospital stay — so no class that night. All and all it was a great experience – I am speaking here of the hospital stay – yes, seriously. And he is doing great now – still recovering but doing so wonderfully.  And we are so grateful.

The next Thursday which was last Thursday I had expected to present Rahab but the HOLY SPIRIT said no it will be Eve. And I agreed with Him. Good thing, huh? And at the conclusion of last week’s class, I suggested that perhaps Rahab would be this week’s Gal of Scripture. She’s not.

I got my change of direction just a bit ago. This woman is not even given a name in Scripture which tells me she can be any woman. Any woman who will choose to be can be a woman on point for JESUS. Any one of us (men included) can choose to be wise and stand on the wall for JESUS. It’s the only wise decision to make. :)  Shall we chew on that today?

James 1:5 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to all generously and without criticizing, and it will be given to him.

James 3:17 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without favoritism and hypocrisy.

Please pray for those depending on us.

A Quick Hello, Prayer Requests

Sunday to Monday

Gallery Leave a comment

It has been a full weekend for the Thompsons. Two dear men who loved JESUS were remembered on Saturday with Memorial Services. I was reminded again that leaving a legacy that points others to JESUS is all that ultimately matters. Whatever we accomplish in this life if when we leave here folks cannot say we loved JESUS and we loved others — well, we’ve wasted a trip! A life lived outside the will of JESUS CHRIST is a life wasted.

Matthew 16:26 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

Determine to be kind to every person you meet today. :)

Assurance - Promise

I Thought So

Deuteronomy is one of my favorite books of the Bible. And for our Friday visit I want to pull three verses from chapter 4 for us to meditate on today and throughout the weekend.

Deuteronomy 4:31 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
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. 4:31, 39-40 NASB – For the LORD your God is a – Bible Gateway.

Deuteronomy 4:39-40 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
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. 4:31, 39-40 NASB – For the LORD your God is a – Bible Gateway.

True. These verses were written first to Israel. They still hold for Israel but when you exchanged your sin debt for JESUS Righteousness, these promises became YOUR promises too.

Galatians 3:29 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to promise.
via Galatians 3:29 NASB – And if you belong to Christ then you – Bible Gateway.

But you know this, don’t you? This is not new to you.
I thought so.
But isn’t it good to be reminded? Isn’t it good just to read it again and let it fall fresh and new and sweet and comforting on you again today?
I thought so.

ABBA, thank You that in JESUS we are Abraham’s seed; thank You that You have One Body and the day of joining is coming. And oh what a glorious day that will be. Thank You for each and every Dear One either by email or web page that comes to pray here with me, I pray Your Words will take root and bear much fruit in each of us. We are continuing to pray for many, particularly the McDaniel family and the Henderson family as they celebrate the lives of Ray and Junior, respectively.  Your Word tells us the homecoming of Your Saints is precious to You and yet You know the pain of separation so I know You have comfort to give these families. May it be they receive every morsel of it. And I’m still thinking of Don, Kerri, Diana, Dori, Allison, LaJuanna and every name and circumstance that has been entrusted to us for prayer. Thank You for hearing our prayer and for attending every need in JESUS name. Amen and amen.
