Persevere

“I have told you all this so that you may have peace in Me.  Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows.  But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”  John 16:33  11/18/24

Perseverance “will take us into an intimacy with God we often don’t search out when life is smooth sailing.  We often see God the clearest when we are at our most desperate, when all of the meaningless distractions of ordinary life are suddenly stripped away.  When life is hardest, press into God.  He will stand alongside you in the middle of the storm, even if He doesn’t stop it (the storm). ~Julie Fisk, One Good Word a Day

Hospitality

Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay.  1 Peter 4:9  11/19/24

“Hospitality is defined not only as inviting in friends, but also strangers….to be willing to open our homes and our lives to those around us.  Lord, give each one of us a heart’s desire to be hospitable toward those we come in contact with, inviting them into our spaces cheerfully and sharing Your love with them.  Amen”. ~Kendra Roehl, One Good Word a Day

Behold

And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another.  For this comes from the Lord Who is the Spirit.  2 Corinthians 3:18  11/20/24

“As God’s children, we have the ability to see Him face-to-face.  The word “behold” is used in the Bible to draw the reader’s attention (“Look!”).  But in 2 Corinthians 3:18, the Greek word for behold, katoptrizo, means to reflect as a mirror.  When an infant looks at its caregiver, it finds its identity in that gaze.  Similarly, when we behold Jesus, we find ourselves reflected - with love - in His gaze.  As we behold God’s glory, we are able to reflect Him more and more.  And when we do, we become more like Him, able to extend that same grace and love to others.”  ~Kristin Demery, One Good Word a Day

Taste

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.  James 1:17  11/21/24

“When we see something breathtakingly beautiful, when a food explodes in delightful flavors across our tongues, when we snuggle into an extra warm blanket on a cool evening, when we hear something that makes our souls sing, we categorize it as a little taste of heaven.  Our declarations are an expression of gratitude, a simple acknowledgment that all good things are gifts from God, regardless of whether they are actually in heaven or not.”  ~Julie Fisk, One Good Word a Day

Yet

Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.  Habakkuk 3:17-18  11/22/24

“How do I hold on to hope in all of the unknowns of life?  All of the unanswered prayers?…I believe the answer lies in our “yet.”  Yet will I rejoice.  Yet will I remember God is my Savior.  Yet will I have hope.”  ~Kendra Roehl, One Good Word a Day

He has made everything beautiful in His time. He has also given people a sense of who He is. But they can’t completely understand what God has done from beginning to end.  Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NIRV) 11/23/24

When the Mists Have Rolled Away

Journaling reads: 
We shall know, as we are known,
Nevermore to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning
Of that bright and happy day,
We shall know each other better,
When the mists have rolled away.
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.  1 Corinthians 13:12

Selah

The Lord your God is living among you.  He is a mighty savior.  He will take delight in you with gladness.  With his love, he will calm all your fears.  He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.  Zephaniah 3:17  11/7/24

Selah, a pause and a time to reflect on who God is and all He has done for us.  We must do this on a daily basis, especially during those times in our life that are crazy busy!

Generosity

But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from You, and we have given You only what comes from Your hand.  1 Chronicles 29:14  11/10/24

We would have nothing if it were not for the generosity of the Lord, therefore, we should also be generous with what He has given to us!

Choice

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.  Joshua 24:15   11/11/24
