Psalm 24 - The King of Glory

Greetings dear sisters-in-Christ,

The last couple of nights I have awoken around 3:30 and started giving thanks for the big and little things in my life. It has kept the migraine headaches at bay and has kept my mind stilled as I am waiting (trying patiently) on the Lord.

Do you every feel that it is right within your reach or on the tip of your tongue? This morning Abba Father revealed through Psalm 24 the "King of Glory".

Abba Father, Praise thee for the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof: the world, and they that dwell therein. Praise thee for You hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. Lord we ask who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place? And You tell us, You speak and Lord I pray that each dear sister-in-Christ would have the ears to perceive and the heart to comprehend that You say he that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully that he shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. Lord I also pray that this is the generation of them that seek him and seek thy face, O Jacob. May these dear and precious sisters-in-Christ lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Who is this King of glory? And may each dear sister-in-Christ resound with voices in one accord "The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory." In Jesus Name, Amen.

Until next week,

Happy Birthday Girl

Greetings dear friends and precious sisters-in-Christ,

Today I dedicate this posting to my daughter. She is my baby, being the youngest of three children and today she is 30 years old. It is also Earth Day and Administrative Assistant Day, but these came after her birth so they don't count for this day. I would like to share just a little about her - She is my miracle baby - I was told I should never have children again after my second child but I wanted a girl - After helping raise 4 brothers and baby sitting male cousins all my growing up life I really desired to have a girl.

I had lost so much blood during the delivery and after her birth that the doctor and nurses were very concerned about my recovery and had suggested that I stay in the hospital but she could go home. My husband and I decided that it was not an option and called my parents who came right away. I asked God to watch over her because I was not capable then and He is forever faithful still watching over her. She was/is/and continues to be a delight to me and her father. Thank you Lord for blessing us with a girl.


A selfish prayer it might have been
but still a desire from deep within.
It keeps me still in awe of thee
that in the seeking You allow it to be.
And as a reward for diligence do
Your Perfect Will is seen True.


Abba Father, Praise and Glory and Honor to Thee who reigns supreme. Thank You Lord that it is in Your Sovereign Power that all things are held firm. Lord I pray for each dear sister-in-Christ that she give to You that which she is not capable of watching over, may she ask of You to take care of the person, circumstance and/or situation. Oh Lord You are able, Your Love knows no bounds and Your tender mercies are new every morning. In Jesus Name, Amen.


Until next week,

Information Temporarily Unavailable

Greetings dear sisters-in-Christ,

I am not one to sit idle when told that the information I seek or want is temporarily unavailable. I will not allow myself to just walk away from this challenge. Up until most recently, within the last 6 months - I asked of God for the gift of Godly patience. Now whether it is Him testing or the enemy tempting, I know not which, but still these past few weeks have been filled with days where in the asking and seeking and knocking the information is temporarily unavailable. Should I have asked for this precious gift? I can answer that with a SHOUT, Yes for I am desiring a closer walk with Abba. I trust and I know that He will reveal the hidden if I am to know and I will trust that if He does not it was for my good and His glory. In Jesus Name, Amen.


Oh most Sovereign and Magnificent Lord above all things. Thank You that in the midst of our asking and seeking and knocking You are there. Thank You that You will never leave us or forsake us. Father, Abba I pray for each dear sister-in-Christ this day and for this week that she lay aside her past, present and future for only You have what is needed. May the information she seek and ask be temporarily unavailable so that You may work in her Your good and perfect gift. That she would come as an empty vessel and desire that You fill her up. In Jesus Name, Amen.


Until next week,

Duties-Events

Greetings to my precious sisters-in-Christ,

"Duties are ours, events are the Lord's", that is the opening line of my devotional reading today. Yes this is what I needed to hear because the very thought that I was talking to the Lord about upon waking was,"Who am I to take care of now, what is my responsibility? As a girl growing up with 4 younger brothers-it was taking care of them. Married - taking care of children; desired to take care of grandchildren but not the case-moved to Hawaii took care of grandmother. Now what is my duty? I did not think of it as a duty? Interesting-that the Lord placed this word before me this morning. Lord once again I come before You, You are the Potter, I am the clay - mold me today.

Abba Father, thank You for shadowed moments. Oh most Glorious and Gracious God I come before Your throne of Glory this morning and humbly ask of thee, Lord may each dear sister-in-Christ Wait. You are creating something brand new - an Event which will rock the Heavens and the treasures received far exceed the duty performed. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Until next week,

At Home At Last

Greetings dear sisters-in-Christ,

That which has taken my time on Wednesday afternoon's and Friday's after work has now passed. There were times when I would tell myself that it may be the last for I knew not when she would pass away. Yes, Nonie is finally at Home at last. She questioned me so many times after accepting Jesus as to why she still was here-what was God's reason. I could never answer her really, only said that He loves her and He has His reason.

This past Saturday, after eating a turkey dinner, and saying goodbye to those who had cared for her for the last 3 years she slumped in her wheelchair and slipped into a coma; never to regain consciousness. The Lord is so good for He heard her prayers and she did not suffer. As she lay in her bed, the people came. They hugged her and kissed her forehead and told of how marvelous and grand of a lady she truly was. LORD thank you for Your Goodness and Mercy.

Abba Father, Praise thee for in the very midst of death You bring Your sweet fragrance which permeates the room with Your Presence and Your Peace. Thank You that in the midst of the sadness You bring a Joy. Lord how Good it is to say that she is at home at last.

Lord I pray for each dear sister-in-Christ this day, oh most Sovereign Lord may Your Presence and Your Peace abound in their lives today and this week as they walk out their time here on earth and some day we will say the same, "at Home at Last. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Until next week,
