VERBS OF VERACITY = VICTORY!

Verbs of veracity can give victory    

Veracity---a 17th C word that is derived from truth or true..... as the quality of being true.

Many adjectives and nouns are synonymous with truth but are there verbs that are somewhat synonymous with veracity? Scripture in Psalm 119 speaks of soul-clinging, life-giving words.Words of truth that "strengthen." "Choose" the way of faithfulness that leads to truth. "Cling" to God's testimonies. "Speak" of them. "Allow" God to "incline" your heart toward Him; "Enlarge" your heart and let it "lead" you to run the way of His commandments."Dread not."

"Long" for God's precepts in His righteousness.

Trusting the Veracity of God's Word results in a life lived in Christ, for Christ and with Christ.....aka Victory in Jesus!

 Verbs of Veracity = Victory in Jesus 

MONDAY MOUTHFUL!

Much munching on Scotty Smith's devotional this morning.

A pastor who can go from French to slang in capturing our earthly mission in and for Christ.

Powerful words that justify our existence.

Glory for sure!

EASTER SUNDAY!

A sabbath that becomes serene as we meditate on the hope of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

PRAISES for the Hope Of Easter which is renewed each day in the life of a believer!

SATURDAY SMILE OR SNEER!

Not a Saturday smile. Rather a Saturday sneer that makes me smile. 

A perfect pose for a five-year-old who knows there's a human inside that bunny costume. Folded arms show he's not impressed!

His look said it all for me!

Happy Easter, JLK. May you soon understand the true meaning of Easter and allow that TRUTH to put a smile on your face! (John 11:25)

ABOUNDING ADORATION!

ADORE HIM! Revere. Cherish. Esteem. Exalt. Glorify. Honor.

Thanks to Lynn T, our Colorful Day assistant, for sharing these aspects of the many Names of God....all of which honor His hallowed name,

Such an appropriate week to share, a prayer which overflows with His many names, especially with those who attended the "Names of God" workshop at Colorful Day. Adoration Galore in '24.

BOLSTERING FAITH!

Life is full of challenges. Ups and DOWNS. Highs and LOWS, 

Life is full of difficulties. 

Struggles strengthen.

Some brought on by ourselves....others by loved ones.

All can be used to bolster one's faith.

Our reactions to these difficulties can also bolster the faith of others.

Respond today in His strength. Allow Him to bolster faith in your life for others to see. They might need a faith boost as well.

LEANING!

When my mind goes 1,000 directions at once, I know to lean into the Lord.

I have options.....Plan A., Plan B., Plan C., etc. Just in case.

God has only 1 plan. His! 

He knows the plan He has uniquely for each of us. 

His plans give a future and a hope!(Jeremiah 29:11)

This meditation Monday, "Lean in,  listen to the LORD of Hope." 

Follow His plan for your life today!

ANCHOR OF HOPE!

Stand firm!

Having trouble in this area?

When we flee to Him for refuge, "we find strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. (Hebrews 6:18)

Allow God's truth to become your anchor of HOPE!

Hope: "a sure and steadfast anchor for the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain,"(Hebrews 6:19)

Jesus, our hope, anchor and high priest has entered there on our behalf! (Hebrews 6:20)

Our anchor of hope and security on this Palm Sunday.

WEEKEND WORDS OF WISDOM

Scotty Smith has such a way with words---even in a vocabulary of whining which sadly I understand well.

Remove whining Lord, Restore and reignite our JOY in you so we can stop whining and share truth with others even during difficult times this Palm Sunday weekend!.

CELEBRATE..........EASTER IS A-COMIN'

Easter will be here in a little over a week. It's celebrated by Jesus followers on March 31, this year.

For Christians, Easter is more a time of remembrance than bunnies, colored eggs and jelly beans. Easter is also a time of hope.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, (1 Peter 1:3)

"What kind of hope is that?" one might ask.

Hope is not wishful thinking. For believers in Jesus as Savior of our world hope is a confident expectation! It's hope for a future backed by the promises of Father God's Word and work for us.

Jesus, our living hope, resurrected from the dead,  

is cause for true celebration this Easter Season!
