Stop and Worship

       Hi, Everyone! Sorry it's been like 10 days since my last post! I have been so busy the past week! Whew! But , I thank the Lord that He brought me through! I graduated high school yesterday ! Yay ! Class of 2011!

        Anyways,  Today's post is entitled Stop and Worship because.................................

      Have you ever been so busy, and things are so hectic that you fail to remember God all day? You skip your devotions because you just have so much to do?

      That's the way Martha was in the Bible. You can read about it in Luke 10. She was so busy cooking and cleaning that she didn't even stop to worship Jesus. She even accused Mary of not doing her share. But Mary was right where she needed to be. She needed to be there worshiping her Savior and listening to him share so many beautiful thoughts. She was in just the right spot.

                   I want to be a Mary ! How about you?

The Proverb of the Day

           Sometimes for my personal devotions, I read the proverb of the day! So , I thought I would post Proverbs 19 today! Here it is:



     

Proverbs 19

 1Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
 2Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
 3The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.
 4Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbour.
 5A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
 6Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
 7All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him.
 8He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
 9A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
 10Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
 11The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
 12The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
 13A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
 14House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.
 15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
 16He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.
 17He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
 18Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
 19A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
 20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
 21There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
 22The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.
 23The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
 24A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
 25Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.
 26He that wasteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
 27Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.
 28An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
 29Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.

The Wonder Of It All

Oh, the wonder of it all! It's amazing, isn't it? The wonder of nature! The wonder of how everything works together for a common cause in nature. God is such a perfect designer! He knew just how to do everything.
Although all these things are wonderful, the wonder of wonders that fills my soul is the wonder that God loves me! ( yes , that is from the song, The Wonder of it All!)

Why should God love us? We fill His created planet with sin every day.We are hopeless sinners! But , ah! We aren't hopeless when we ask God to come into our lives and make us whole! He wants to be able to spend eternity with us in heaven. But, the only way we can do that is if accept Jesus as our Savior , and reject sin and the without of sin!

This world gets worse every day. Sin and corruption continue to fill our world with darkness. But, it just reminds me that the coming of Christ is sooner! He is coming back soon to take His children home!


I hope you all have a wonderful evening!

If God is for me, who can stand against me?

      Ahhh, I love that verse! It is found in Romans 8:31.  " What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?"

      If the Lord is with me, who can be against me! Who can do anything to me? The Lord is my protector! He is my rock ! He is my salvation! The devil has no power against God! He then has no power against God's children, if we are firm in JESUS!

      The devil may try to tempt us , to bring us down, to greatly discourage us, but we can stand firm in JESUS , and resist the devil!

      James 4:7 says : " Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

      If we have submitted ourselves to God, nothing can happen to us that is not in His control!


     Thank you , Lord ! Thank you for your watch care over your children! I choose to submit myself to you today! I love you, and want my life to be pleasing in your sight!

                                                                               Amen.
