Something to think about in June…
Psalm 90:17 - “Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands for us.”
#takinganotherstep#onemansjourney
A reminder to myself…
“I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”
#takinganotherstep#onemansjourney
A good reminder for me today…
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.”
Romans 1:16 NASB2020

“It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.” W.L. Watkinson.
I thought this was a good word for me today. Maybe for someone else as well.

Ponder this:
“We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Acts 16:6-10 - “Paul…having been kept by the H.S. from…Asia….tried Bythinia, but the Spirit of Jesus wouldn’t allow them…vision…Macedonia”

I must decrease. He must increase.
Fully - Completely or entirely.
Committed - Loving & following the Lord w/ my whole heart, soul, mind, & strength.
My prayer for me today…to be fully committed to the Lord so that He can use me as He sees fit.

Words mean things.
Sanctify - act of making someone clean/holy.
Jesus prayed that sanctification (for me) would happen thru truth. God’s Word.
In a very real sense, for the rest of my life God’s working on me.
The journey continues…

Loving what I’m hearing at Culture Conference 2022!! Some of the staff at New Hope along with the staff of one of our supported missions Spreading Sunshine have joined together for this great opportunity today!!

Telling people not to worry or fear is easy. It's very hard (at least for me) to follow that advice.
Especially with everything going on in this old world.
My prayer for me today...don't worry...remember God's promise never to leave or forsake me.

I was reminded today...
If David, God's anointed, had troubles...if Jesus, God's son, had afflictions...in no way should I expect to be free from them.
"... In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33(b)
#takinganotherstep
My prayer for me today…
…to have the courage to follow Jesus with reckless abandon. Even when it doesn’t make sense.

My prayer for me today...as a loving response to God's promises to and His love for me, continue to pursue holiness, letting His Holy Spirit work in me to set me apart.
"...out of reverence for God." 2 Corinth. 7:1

As a Christ follower, I will face trials, tribulations, heartache, misfortune, woe, grief, adversity, etc. etc.
But I'm confident He is with me as I go through them and will teach me how to endure.

I was reminded today...
"The bedrock of our (my) Christian faith is the unmerited, fathomless marvel of the love of God exhibited on the Cross of Calvary, a love we never can and never shall merit." Oswald Chambers

"Rise, and shine, and give God the glory, glory..."
The familiar words of a song I learned as a child lead to my prayer for me today.
Lord, whatever I do during this day, however noble or common, even the drudgery, let it be for an audience of One.
