God Knows Your Beginning & End - October 18th

God is good all the time! Don't you think it's awesome that God knows how many hairs are upon your head? Just think about it (unless you don't have any - LOL ). It is awesome that God knows your beginning and your end. He knows the thoughts He has towards you; they are thought of good and not of evil to give you a hope, a future, and expected end. Hmmm ...........an expected end??? When we "expect" something, we "look to" the occurrence or appearance of something. We as children of God should "look to" or expect good things to come to us and happen to us. God desires for our beginning to our end to be good. But there's something called "free will" - our ability to make a choice. Our lives are full of choices 'Do I go to church this Sunday or not?' or 'Do I cook tonight or eat out?' Everything is a choice. In our beginning, we should make the choice to do good and follow God. For the Lord is our Sheppa...

The Right Mindset - Complete Trust!

A Reflection on Daniel — Devotional Reflection: Daniel’s Kind of Faith A personal devotional on trust, prayer, and lifelong obedience Devotional · Reflection Updated: When I studied the Book of Daniel, one truth became clear to me: my so-called “holy life,” as much as a human being can be holy, wasn’t nearly as holy as I thought. When I looked at Daniel and the Hebrew boys, I realized that my life was nowhere near as consecrated or devoted. I can’t even find the “pah” in perfect! I know that I’m a sinner saved by grace. I also understand now that I cannot live this life in Christ Jesus on my own — I’ve tried, and I’ve failed miserably. I am grateful to the Holy Spirit for showing me this. It hurt my feelings a bit but still grateful that He loves me enough to show me where I have failed and need correction. “Daniel and the ...

The Plan!

The Plan – John 3:16 The Plan – John 3:16 It’s been some years since I’ve posted to this blog. God was dealing with me on some things. I am grateful to Him for chastening me which shows His love for me. I want to speak a little on God’s Plan – Redemption. Redemption is a gift; it cannot be earned, and it involves our turning away from sin and towards God. God made this task simple for us—the offering of His Son, Jesus. I want to come from the verse of John 3:16. I know, I know… We all know this verse; we could probably recite it in our sleep. This verse is one of the first scriptures we all learned in Bible School/Children’s Church. I think that was by God’s design, but not fully realized. In this, I want to bring to full fruition of God’s Plan by breaking down this scripture. It is so simple, but sometimes things can seem too simple… “Surely, it can’t be this simple?!” It is just that – simple. By having our Faith ONLY in God’s Plan, Jesus...

It Could Be Worse

Hello All: Well, it's certainly be awhile since you've heard from me, and for those who have continue to look for me - well here I am. Late July, my husband and I decided to have another child, and we found out early August that we are pregnant - Yeah!!! But let me tell ya, this pregnancy had not been kind to me. I have headaches, nausea, overwhelming tiredness, and dizziness; everything I eat seems to make me sick, but thank God that it has eased up a bit. My first pregnancy was wonderful; I did not experience any symptoms really - alittle dizziness here and there. It was wonderful; I was pregnancy and happy; Life was wonderful. I have been murmuring and complaining about this pregnancy because it has not been like the first one. Still one day, I read an article (I'm always searching for pregnancy stuff) that stated that some women have not only the symptoms I mentioned, but vomiting all throughout their pregnancy. Now, I haven't experience the vomiting, only ...

Light Rejected!

Studying again in the book of Ezekiel , I’ve been reflecting on how the Holy Spirit, through the prophet, spoke of the destruction of Assyria and Egypt . In my reading of the Swaggart Commentary , considerable time is devoted to these nations—nations that had direct dealings with Israel, Judah, and Jerusalem . They had opportunity to know who the true God—the God of Israel—was, yet they rejected Him. The Pharaohs began to declare themselves gods. They continued in idol worship. Though they were given light, they chose darkness. And when light is rejected, eventually light is removed . As I considered this, my thoughts turned to America . We were once a great beacon of God’s light—spreading the Word of God throughout our nation and across the world. But look at where we are now. We are in a very dark place. We were given much light, yet that light has grown dim. Not only as a nation, but even within many churches, God’s light—His Word, His way—has been rejected. And God’s way is Jes...

He is Not a Man

I thank God that He is not a mere man - that He is God and doesn't act like man. He is not a mere man that He will lie - everything He has said in His Word He will do. He is faithful that promises. His mercies are new every morning and His grace is sufficient for us. He loves us unconditionally, and when we sincerely ask for forgiveness, He forgives us. The Living Water is talking about forgiveness. How often we should forgive the same person? Jesus respond by saying seventy times seven (70 x 7 =490). And He's not talking about over the course of your life, but within a day. Now, I have not arrived in this area of my Christian walk. I still have alot of work that needs to be done. I have the "I forgive, but don't forget" syndrome. Usually when someone has wronged me, I just "feed that person with a long handled spoon" - meaning that I just don't interact with them as much. I'm social and civil, but I am always watching and waiting. I u...
