Praise the Lord!

God gave me this scripture a few weeks ago.

Psalm 37

23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD,
And He delights in his way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
For the LORD upholds him with His hand.

25 I have been young, and now am old;
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
Nor his descendants begging bread.

I am in awe of my Lord. It was just a few weeks ago that I flipped open a devotional that I had received from a homeschooling mom and God spoke immediately to me through the testimony and the scripture. Psalm 37 has so many promises for me at this time in my life and verse 5 has been a scripture that I have stood on for my husband Shannon for years and he accepted Jesus Christ in October.

This chapter in Psalms is jam packed with testimonies for me and with specific things that I am standing on for my life and my family.

Friday I was picking up food for a couple of churches that I help with a food ministry. When I came home I grabbed some of the bread out because we had been on a severely tight budget this week. When Shannon, my husband, came home from work he had brought bagels and scones that were left over. I smiled and said,"I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread. We have plenty of bread!"

God is sooo faithful.

I shared with another parent at the soccer game Saturday morning how God had met our need in the area of making our mortgage payment on time and that we had $20 for groceries that week. I again referred to Psalm 37:25 I was ecstatic about what God had done and that I still had $20 for food! Praise the Lord!!!!!

In the afternoon there was another soccer game that I did not attend but Shannon took Elijah. When they returned home Shannon insisted that I come outside. He opened the back door to our car and it was filled with grocery bags!

I was overwhelmed by my Lord! Wow!

God is so amazingly loving and even when I thought He had met our need He did exceedingly more than I could ask or think!

Ephesians 3:19-21 is another scripture that I have stood on many times.

19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

I am truly filled with His fullness today!

Trusting In God Ensures That We Maintain Our Spiritual Inertia

Image
Inertia is a property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion.  Newton's first law of motion is referred to as the law of inertia and states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and direction unless acted upon by an outside unbalanced force. You have experienced this law first hand when you are in the car and someone slams on the breaks,  Your body wants to continue moving forward due to inertia however the car stopping abruptly causes you to be drawn back into your seat, although you initially were leaning forward as your body tried to maintain the same rate of motion. Although the laws of physics dictate the response of the physical world around us, we as believers must maintain our state of rest no matter the unbalanced abrupt interactions we have throughout our day. Rest is of utmost importance in order to maintain a joy filled life that displays the grace o

Rest Yourself Under The Tree Today!

Image
Heavenly Father, Thou has led me singing to the cross where I fling down all my burdens and see them vanish, where my mountains of guilt are levelled to a plain, where my sins disappear, though they are the greatest that exist, and are more in number than the grains of fine sand; For there is power in the blood of Calvary to destroy sins more than can be counted even by one from the choir of heaven. Thou has given me a hill-side spring that washes clear and white, and I go as a sinner to its waters, bathing without hinderance in its crystal streams. At the cross there is free forgiveness for poor and meek ones, and ample blessings that last for ever; The blood of the Lamb is like a great river of infinite grace with never any diminishing of its fullness as thirsty ones without number drink of it. O Lord, for ever will thy free forgiveness live that was gained on the mount of blood; In the midst of a world of pain it i

Bitterness Produces a Life of Its Own

Image
While on hike with campers yesterday, we came across several galls.   This gall, in particular,  is an oak gall. Oak galls form on the leaves or branches of trees when a specific species of wasp inserts their ovipositor into expanding plant tissue and lays an egg. Once the eggs are laid, the developing young hijack the tree's growth hormones and get the tree to do all the work of providing both a safe haven and a continuous food supply. These galls act as a physiological sink where an endless supply of food is provided for the larvae and now in attracts a whole host of uninvited guests called parasitoids. The word gall means "bitter" and these galls have an extra astringent property due to an increase in the tree's tannin production which deters potential predators from finding and eating the wasp larvae. While galls seldom pose a problem for developing trees, bitterness in the life of a Christian is extremely deceitful and destructive. Hebrews 12:15
