A SPRINGTIME THANKFUL THURSDAY

This week let's open our eyes to all that God has done as well as being

a watchman on the walls of your location..... wherever God has placed you. 

On my FEC monthly prayer sheet, Isaiah 62:6-7 precedes all the petitions. "....Give God no rest until He establishes and 'til He makes (First Evan or wherever it's people minister) a praise in the earth."

In A Long Obedience in the Same Direction, Eugene Peterson connects the word watchman with wait and hope. (p. 136) 

It's a role to embrace not a complaint.

Today I choose to look for God's hand in every situation and rejoice.

A morning in the hillside at daughter Molly's showed God's creation at every turn.......from baby chicks to rhododendron filled with butterflies!

Let everything that hath breath praise the LORD. (Psalm 150:6)

A RESONATING PRAISE CHORUS!

SING -A- LONG w/ Hillsong on the chorus......

 

REPEAT---and end with Oh Lord oh Lord our God 2x

May it resonate in your heart the rest of the day!

CHOOSE: PRAISE

Signs of God's creation have a way of making my heart leap in praise. Such was the case this past weekend in Brentwood when God's sunset had me in awe!

They who dwell in the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs; You make the dawn and the sunset shout for joy. (Psalm 65:8)

From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the LORD is to be praised. (Psalm 113:3)

Righteous Food

Most of our recent beach vacation food was fish---natch!

But....we had one great non-fish mid-day treat at Preacher's Kitchen in Gulf Place on 30a. It's just 2 doors down from The Perfect Pig (a "praise the lard" type place)---which also has, familiar to the Liles, a Seagrove location---in Flip Flops former location. Both are owned by the same family.

We were drawn to Preacher's Kitchen because of the name. It's a counter service, build your own burger type place but we just got smoothies. Peach pina-colada was dynamo combo---delish.

"Righteous Food" sign above the counter had my mind whirring----"belly up" to the counter and get your fill. Satisfaction guaranteed!

The owner is also a preacher so I'm sure he, too, understood the spiritual implications.

We have access daily to "righteous food." We just need to open God's word and feast.

Your words were found and I ate them, And Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; (Jeremiah 15:16)

Taste and see that the Lord is good. (Psalm 34:8) 

Truly satisfying righteous food.
