Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; Talk ye of all his marvellous works.” ‭‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭16:8-9‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/1ch.16.8-9.asv One of my current devotions is about simple prayers. Today’s devotion is focused on thankfulness. Which is right on schedule with what God has been talking to me about. It’s hard to find words to describe my feelings lately. I get so excited about the simple things. When I drop something on…

September 9, 2017 “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and will show thee great things, and difficult, which thou knowest not.” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭33:3‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/jer.33.3.asv Psalm 145:17-19 (NIV) “The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does.

August 29, 2017 “Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:9‬ ‭NLT‬‬ http://bible.com/116/php.4.9.nlt After last weeks blog, this verse is the most logical next step. It’s amazing how God is still alive and talking to us. If we will only listen. This verse is from my bible devotion app, the scripture of the day. It goes out to millions of people, the same verse. Yet it’s personal to me. Only our God can do that! If you’re wondering what this picture is, it’s a picture of Gods provision,…

God has proved himself over and over again to this truth, in my life and so many others. History, both biblical and our world today are filled with Gods miracles! I’ve come across so many bible verses for this weeks prayer blog. I almost want to just share the verses instead  of writing. But God said to write so here I…

Being aware of our surroundings and being sensitive to Gods calling is such an important part of being His child. This song, Thy Will, is currently a support to me in my current walk with the Lord. Every word touches my heart. I’ve noticed with my children, when they were young, and now my grandchildren, they observe every little thing. They notice…

Ruptured spleen and broken back in an automobile accident on Feb 6 and heart attack on July 1. My questions for the Lord? #1: Is satan trying to kill me? What mighty things do you have for me? I’m ready, show me, lead me, fill me with your strength and power and wisdom. #2: Are you trying to prepare me? Teach me…

July 22, 2017 “For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, that spreadeth out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat cometh, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17:8‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/jer.17.8.asv “The name of Jehovah is a strong tower; The righteous runneth into it, and is safe.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18:10‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/pro.18.10.asv Have you ever looked at nature and marveled of its beauty?

In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” ‭‭John‬ ‭16:33‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/jhn.16.33.asv Stand strong! Solid as a rock! We hear this over and over. Yet, even a strong rock is worn by the constant pounding of the water and elements. Beauty remains, and the transformed rock is continually used by God to enhance life. “…the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God…If these were silent, the very stones would cry out.” Luke 19: 37-40 I shortened the above bible verses to…
