COME JOURNEY WITH ME

COME JOURNEY WITH ME 

This is a photo of the BRIDGE OF FLOWERS

IN SHELBURNE FALLS, MASSACHUSETTS.

READY TO BEGIN BLOGGING 

I  ASK GOD TO GRANT ME WISDOM

"For by grace are ye saved through

faith, and that not of yourselves; it 

is the gift of God: not of works, 

lest any man should boast. For

we are his workmanship, created 

in Christ Jesus unto good works, which 

God hath before ordained that we 

should walk in them" 

As I launch out into blogging, I

am looking at using this site to link

my other sites to it.    

Over the years of our marriage Henry drove us everywhere -   I took photos.   Nothing great, but as I look at these photos, I see a way to share my faith with others.   Then there are his sermons, and my poems, and much to ponder on.  So here I go into the BLOGGING WORLD with God helping me.  

Believing as I do that God's Word is my source and all I need for direction - I am counting on His dear Spirit to lift up the Savior in my blogs that even should the LORD JESUS CHRIST come for His Bride and take all the Believers up with him - the Blogs will still be on line for whoever wishes to read and look at and find the same faith in the Lord Jesus and that His Blood is the only way that a sinner can be saved.  His sacrifice was enough once for all, for each one who will 

turn to Him.

Romans 14.7 - 9

For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.  For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.   For to this end Christ both died and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord of the dead and the living.

 

Jesus may come today !

Glad Day, Glad Day,

If He should Come Today,

I'll live for today 

nor anxious be,

Jesus my Lord I soon shall see,

Glad Day !  Glad Day ! 

Jesus ! may come today ! 

It has been a year since my hip was operated on and I am doing well.   A year ago I was still having care and now here I am, back to my computer, back to studying and doing things I like to do.   How blessed I am.   I pray that I may share my faith, and give many encouragement to keep living for the Lord if they already know Him, and for others, that I might present Christ in such a way that they too will want to trust Him as Lord and Savior.   

MARY AND MARTHA

In Luke 10 we have the record of how Jesus came to a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha invited him into her house.    Now here he is at her invitation, enjoying the things she did for him.   It then states that she had a sister Mary, who sat at Jesus' feet, hearing what he said.

Mary was very busy in what she did.  She was doing it for Jesus, and so she began to feel cumbered - it was a big job.   She went to Jesus and said, Lord, dost thou care that my sister hath left me to serve alone?  bid her therefore that she help me.

Hmmn.   What D I D Jesus say ? It says that Jesus answered and said "Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: but some thing is more needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away."

You and I may be busy people. 

We may think that like Martha, inviting someone to share a meal is the "thing to do"...but here is Mary - who most likely was there to assist Martha, but because of  Who Jesus was, and because she knew she wanted to LISTEN TO HIM she did just that.    

Today people are busy - working, eating, driving, traveling, playing.   Everyone has things that they do which they MUST DO, and everyone has some things that they WISH TO DO.   Not everyone wishes to "sit at the feet of Jesus" and yes, listen.

Every time I open my Bible I give God's dear Spirit the opportunity to speak to me.    Every time I heed that which I read, I gain new strength and help for my day.   

More than that, spending time with the Lord in Prayer is very important.   God values our time with Him.    Have you made it a priority in your life?   

Jesus said "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you."

Again he said, "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son; if ye ask anything in my name, I will do it."  

1. Seek God's Will as best as you know how.

2. Give God your expectations.

3. Use what you have.

4. Read His Word, and Listen to His Spirit for guidance.

5. When you are in doubt about something - don't! 

6. Obey even when I do not understand -  God will enable you to do that.

7.    Trust God for the Supply.

In Martha's case she was burdened and laden down because she put herself in that position.   There is a time for service, but there

is a much greater need to 

stop, and learn from Jesus Himself.  

Climbing higher will only happen when we stop and sit at the feet of the Savior who longs for 

that closeness that comes from listening to Him.

As I sit at my desk and work along, I myself need to find time alone with the Lord Jesus Christ, to seek His face, and to pray that I may be used to do His will in my life.    

Thought for the Day

"USE WHAT YOU HAVE"

Do not consider what you do not have.

Don't think about what you think you should have.

Take stock and inventory.

Your resources.   Your assets.

Your belongings.   Your ideas.

Your little is much if God is in it.
