Good Friday morning sweet friends. As we close out this week and look to the weekend I pray you have been blessed by God's word. Today's verse goes along with my favorite verse Micah 6:8 seek justice, love mercy and walk humbly before our God. Have you ever watched those old westerns where the characters are without water and they're desperate? Their number one goal is to get to the source of water. When they find it they're all in to the point they plunge in and are satisfied. We seek righteousness like and we will be satisfied. Friends the source is God and he rains righteousness down on us when we seek him he opens a treasure chest of wisdom, knowledge and shows us his character. All we need to do is Seek, Ask, Knock and he in turn will satisfy. Have a great weekend. Be safe. See you Monday. Blessings.

Good Thursday morning friends. "Meekness is for sissies!" OK before you get upset with me this was my thought process before I accepted Christ. Until then I found myself being strong, don't let anybody too close to you or kick you around. Meekness really means strength, self-control. Jesus came as a humble servant even washing the feet of his betrayer. All the power of heaven but yet he went to the cross for us. It takes a lot of strength at times in our lives just to walk away from gossip, getting the last word in an argument, being the calm one in the room. One glorious day we will receive our rich reward. Until then let's take the high road. Blessings

Good Wednesday morning friends. Today's verse hits home for me today. I received word that my uncle by marriage went to be with Jesus. My aunt is only 8 months older than myself they had just celebrated 50 years of marriage and his 70th birthday.
Grief and mourning comes like the waves of the sea. They crash in and then go away. We who are mourning bob along in our little boat. Wait, we have a pilot, Jesus is with us and through the Holy Spirit we find comfort. We are not alone in the sea. What grief are you experiencing today? Is it a relationship that ended, illness, job loss, passing of a loved one? Whatever it is remember Jesus is your pilot he will get you through. Blessings.

Good Tuesday morning friends. I like to meet with you in the morning after talking with God and before my day begins. Especially before I see the news! It seems our spirits get depleted as we go about our day and some days we are like a dish rag worn out and done. To me God speaks the loudest in those times as Jesus spoke to the group on a hillside. They weren't the ones who had it all together they were the ones worn out and empty. That's when God can fill us up with himself. We cannot walk out this journey without him. So remember on those days when you're emptied out God is there to fill you up to overflowing. Blessings.

Good Monday morning friends. Oh my another Monday morning! How many of us have said that in a negative way? This psalm was written by the descendants of Korah. Who was he? He was a gifted Levite priest. One day he decided to rebel against Moses. The ground opened and swallowed him and the ones with him. Talk about a Blue Monday! His descendents however stuck with Moses and we read many of their Psalms. David may have even quoted this one while running from Saul. Both parties probably had gotten discouraged that day. They decided to trust in God. Are you restless, discouraged, just meh 😐. Trust God and he will lift you up. Blessings.

Good Friday morning friends. Yesterday I got out my pruning shears and did what they call "dead heading" on my 🌹 bushes which is cutting the dead blooms. As I was doing that I saw more buds on all my bushes. Same with my tomato 🍅 vines they gave what they call "suckers" at the base of the vine and they steal all the growth energy from the plant. God is our "master gardener" he prunes those things away that will sap our energy and strength. Is something weighing you down? Allow God to prune it out. Listen, it may seem painful trust the process and you will emerge stronger, better, ready to grow and glow! Have a great weekend. Be safe. See you Monday. Blessings.

Good Thursday morning friends. I remember at 9 years old standing and seeing Niagra Falls. Oh what power and roar of that majestic thing God created! It was kind of frightening but yet I was in awe of it. Same with God when I begin my journey of faith fear of God was that fear. As I grew in faith it became awe and reverence knowing that God loved me and wanted what was best for me. He gave me an instruction manual (the Bible and the Holy Spirit) to help me make right decisions. How many of us put something together and mess up in the assembly with left over pieces?Life can be like that. If we as his children use the skills God gives us we can get the pieces together. Let's seek God and read the instructions. Blessings.

Good Wednesday morning friends. When we read this verse we most of the time think about $. Really it is the attitude. The Corinthian church Paul is addressing had given their word to help the starving Jerusalem church. They were slow about getting the offerings to them. In my devotional today the speaker talked about fear of not having enough and how it effects giving. Friends I know we have bills and expenses. God owns it all and he allows us to be blessed by these things we have but he does not want us to be controlled by them. I have seen in my life where he has come through when we have given "cheerfully". When God has prompted us to give sacrificially he has always blessed us. You know he still does! God's economy is so different. He will supply when you give. You can bank on it. It's not just 💰 time, talent and stuff. Let's check how we are looking at "our blessings" and see them through God's eyes and what we can do with them for his kingdom. Blessings.

Good Tuesday morning friends. I pray you had a great weekend in the Lord and had a day of Remembrance for our service men and women who gave their all. Today's verse is so fitting. Jesus came to Earth not as a king but as a lowly baby in a stable not born of privilege. He walked through this life teaching servanthood and thinking of others first. Even in his time people thought it strange. Friends we are is children and children imitate their parents. We are empowered to do good wherever we go. Let's put it into practice. Blessings.
