FULLNESS!

What are you full of? Oops, sorry I had to end ? with a preposition.

How often have you heard, "you're full of bull" or other choice disparaging words?

Fill in the blank, I am full of __________________!

Would others fill in your blank the same way?

In what ways do you show others your fullness? 

Some companies can outwardly show their fullness* through their products.

Aldi has it stamped in their egg cartons. 

This is the day which the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalm 118:24)

JOY!

A great morning reminder as I reach for my eggs to fill my day with JOY!

*For all grammarians.....fulness and fullness are semantically related to plentitude. You can use fulness instead of noun fullness. Others see fulness as misspelling.

KEYS TO PROFITABLE BIBLE STUDY

Meditating on John 14:10, recently, I was drawn to a sentence in The Path to the Cross (6/1 entry) Careful attention to prepositions is one key to profitable Bible study!

Hmmmm....preposition---a part of speech we all know but what took on new meaning for me was the relational aspect of prepositions, beyond the relative physical positions......beyond the allotment and filling of shared space. (Ronnie Stevens)

Speaking of the Spirit of Truth in John 14:17, God's word reminds us (believers) ...you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you." Since our salvation, the Holy Spirit of God, has been omnipresent with us. What joy that brings!

Looking forward to John 15, a favorite chapter of mine, where the verb, abide, has always stood out. This time I'll be on the look out for key prepositions to deepen my understanding in a new way!

WOWS FOR WEDNESDAY!

WOWS = Week of Word Study. So....I had to share it today.

Jesus Always entry for wordsmith Doris' birthday (5/9) really had me considering parts of speech, in particular prepositions.

Prepositions express a relation to another word (usually a noun or pronoun)  For me, the noun/pronoun subject relation was Jesus Christ, by whose blood I am redeemed. 

• With Him, I can be honest. (Proverbs 30:5)
• I can be confident in Him. (2 Corinthians 3:4)
• I can lean on Him. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
• I can connect with Him through prayer anytime, anyplace. (Joshua 1:9)
• I can always trust in Him. (Psalm 9:10, 20:7)

For all of  His blessings, I say WOW! You are my God. (Psalm 31:14)
