God’s Living Word

“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12

The last few days in particular God’s word has filled my head.

His Word is indeed living.

I’ve watched my sister in law, Connie suffer and the pass into eternity after suffering from the hideous disease of cancer.

And my heart has been filled with HIS incredible peace and love. I heard His words over and over. Bits and pieces of scripture, entire scripture verses…the word of God, so alive and active.

…….Great is Thy Faithfulness….His love endureth forever…what can separate us from the love of God…His strength is perfect…perfect love cast out all fear…He has gone to prepare a place for you…I am the resurrection and the life…death has been swallowed up in victory….for we fix our eyes on what is eternal…even though I walk through the valley of death, I shall fear no evil…to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord….He is the rock…

His Word Is Living.

 His WORDS kept speaking to me over and over! I helped my great niece clean and dress her grandmother with the aide of a nurse after her passing. GOD’s presence was so real. I could not do that in and of myself…and this granddaughter did so with the most care and love…GOD’s presence.

He is LIFE. Without HIM I am nothing.

 I simply cannot imagine going through any pain without HIM. My life has been full of trials…life. As with many of you of course. And Christ has proven He has never left me. He will never leave…

Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Read His word….get to know Him and His character, His personality. Allow Him to speak to you. HE wants to minister to you. He loves you.

A Sponge

Have you ever soaked up liquid with a sponge? You can just sit it in the liquid and the next thing you know, all the liquid is contained in that sponge. It doesn’t seem to ever fill up.

That is us friends. We soak up what is around us. If we are around negative people all the time….we kind of get to be that way. If we are around positive people on a daily basis, we seem to change our attitude as well.

Soaking up His word and encouragement is life changing. Continue reading An Ordinary Sponge →

Strength Training for Believers…

I understand that at my age “strength training” is very important. As we age our bones become weak and using weights helps bring them the strength needed for health. I am amazed when I watch people bench press in the triple digits….

I even took a class one time to learn how to lift “correctly”. To say that my posture needed work is an understatement. Unless I stood a certain way and had a spotter, disaster was possible.

Oh I learned a lot and did increase the weight as the class progressed. A spotter was essential, and I did not attempt any lift without one! I felt strong, I walked with a certain confidence that I had not possessed before and once I learned how to stand to lift, my posture improved.

Interestingly enough, once the class was over and I quit my routine…my posture changed as did my strength.

Reminds me of life’s trials. Continue reading Strength Training and Weights →
