Witness for God

I have not been posting here for some time. It is easy to fall out of the habit, I am afraid I must confess.

However, God is so good to me that I can't remain quiet very long. I am a witness for God. He is good and kind and merciful and I can't say enough good things about my Lord. He blesses me beyond measure and certainly above what I deserve.

Need examples? Ok...

My daughter and I were in a roll over vehicle accident about two weeks ago. We extricated ourselves and walked away from the wreck. Yes, we had injuries, but nothing life threatening and certainly nothing like you would expect if you saw our vehicle. I give Jesus ALL the glory for our very survival.

One of my sisters got to come home for a few days and we had such a good time during her visit. The first time in YEARS that we had really had an opportunity to talk and be together. Doesn't sound very miraculous? Well, considering all the turmoil and chaos in our lives and the facts that we live 1500 miles apart, she usually only gets to come home once a year for a day or two, I usually have to work when they do get to come, and I haven't been to visit her in about 20 years, I consider it a miracle and at the very least a great blessing. God knows what we need, whether we do or not.

I attand an awesome church. My church family is a great blessing. They have been there lifting me up in prayer and fellowship for many years. Satan has come against this church so many times, but God just keeps lifting it up, putting it back together, and making it stronger. The Holy Spirit moves amongst God's children.

I have a great job.

I have a wonderful, if unconventional, home and family.

I have a roof over my head and plenty of food on the table...

I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea. I pray that you will let Jesus light your way, too.

Have a blessed day and remember to give God the praise.

...let him hear...

"... He that hath ears to hear, let him hear." Luke 14:35

Jesus used this particular phrase many times in his teaching. I just love it!

How much do we hear in a days time? How much of it do we retain?

If you are like me, most of it goes in one ear and out the other without pause between. And a lot of it probably should never have entered to begin with.

But there are some words...teachings that we need to hold on to. We need to let them sink deep inside and take root to grow to produce fruits of the spirit. The words that Jesus taught are food for the spirit and balm for the soul; manna from above if you will.

Please, take a few moments out of your day to read a few verses from the Bible. Ponder them... Remember them... Apply them...

May God bless you with wisdom and understanding of His word. Have a blessed day!
