REMEMBER -MY WORD FOR 2023

 my soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices


Thankful for this place to sit and meet with you Lord. 

Recently very grateful for friends thanking us for years ago sharing Christ with them.

Finding blog posts with caring comments. I never thought to check them.

Someone recently telling me that my name came up about lunch and the topic was stories of past prayer groups, prayer drive by, prayer vigils, Christmas gatherings...just warmed my heart to remember.

Realizing long friendships that have been a time of togetherness. Friendships where you are worshipping the Lord in your conversations.

Times of remembering and confirming the journey of marriage, speaking, acting classes...God's guiding hand.

Remember that God can bring me to it and through it. Just as the Israelites were asked to remember...we to must do just that.

Recently just meeting someone in the park and having a God conversation, honoring and sharing His faithfulness with a stranger, yet, new friend. 

Let us hold fast to God my savior who build us and increases our faith.

He to for you can help you remember. The word remember found 240 times in the bible.

Deuteronomy 8:2
And you shall remember the whole way that the Lord your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, testing you to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not.


Thank you Lord for helping to remember to remember. Amen.

As I meet people I will put their name on a stone and put it in a jar. I will continue to see God's hand in a more visible way.

THEN SINGS MY SOUL

 Friends, can I say what I hear in my head, "Just wait for it, just wait for it, get on the other side and you will know."

Then sings my soul, how great thou art!

When things seem chaotic! Do you ever ask God to intervene and show you the truth?

Is it really chaotic or is the enemy trying to convince you of that? Sometimes I stop and say is the enemy telling me I am off base, I'm can't hear from God, I'm not hearing from God, I have to ask so and so..., 

It's sly friends...it feels rushed...you have to know now...you can't wait...this has to be answered now...then I will move on...I can't decide...this must be anxiety (again?)...

Friend no!

Stop with me.

Realize the enemy is trying to make you feel off, like you don't have it together...

It spirals downward...to hmmmm...you are questioning your salvation...maturity in Christ.

DOUBT!

Spirit of doubt stop! Just stop it!

It is all part of his strategy to get you derailed. It happens fast. Be careful! Question it...pray about it.

Get on the other side and realize that it is NOT FROM THE LORD! 

Cast it down!

Replace it with I am a child of God. I know the SHEPHERD and I am His sheep and His sheep knows His voice, the Lord!

Build yourself back in the most Holy Lord!

Then SINGS MY SOUL, HOW GREAT THOU ART.

It's not about your ability but His!
