NAMES OF GOD!

Seeking to renew my prayer life during this hard time of loss, I am crying out to the LORD!

Tony Evans says, "WHEN LIFE GETS TOO HARD TO STAND, KNEEL."

I add to that, "When your aging body makes kneeling difficult, bow in your heart."

Call out to the LORD who can meet you at your point of need.

Allow God to be your Light, Jehovah Ori, (1 John 1:5), your Joy, El Simchath Gill, (Psalm 16:11), your Strength, Jehovah Uzzi, (Nehemiah 8:10), and your Peace Jehovah Shalom, (2 Thessalonians 3;16).

Psalm 29:11, states, "The LORD gives strength to His people; the LORD blesses his people with peace."

Praises to Yahweh, our King, who gives us both strength and peace during our time of need.

CUPPA JOY!

A cuppa joy is a great way to start the day. The favors are different as chosen by the blend. Black Tea. Green Tea. Chai. Preferential favorite.

I prefer a rich black ASSAM. My daughter prefers a Lady Gray decaf.

My granddaughters love the experience regardless of the tea choice.

Believers all have different ways to start their days. The beverage is not the indicator of joy. Christ is. He's the Focus regardless of the circumstances!

Christ is the JOY bearer.

Gift Giving can be a little intimidating for some of us. I, being one of them. Too often, I wrap with guilt. All the other females in the family have a knack for just the right gift for each person. But God in His love and mercy reminded me from my Anne B. calendar on our fridge....

...Every good and perfect gift is from above (James 1:17)

We see it through every pine tree, black-capped chickadee or believer's heart, who share acts of kindness with others!

Those are all good gifts......but, the perfect gift came from God the Father of lights when He sent His Son as our substitutionary atonement. Therefore we believers have eternal life through His death, burial, and resurrection. His righteousness became ours!

God's perfect gift to each of us is wrapped in love! His love!

ENOUGH SAID!!

Ever heard the old adage, You can't "judge a book by it's cover"....

Except when you can.

Picking up devotional book, Experiencing Good @ BookMark, Second Presbyterian's bookstore, I realized I could judge this book, based on the back cover imprint.
