On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

work

Work, I enjoy my job so very much. When I know I have work waiting I can't wait to get into work to get started. How lucky I am. I've had jobs that I've dreaded. This isn't one of those jobs.

The people I work with, and the job I do, I love.

Plus, God has blessed me with people who have helped me to grow spiritually and helped me to become who I really and truly am.

I'm not worried about saying that I am a Christian. (I used to worry that I wasn't good enough to say I was a Christian.)  I am not worried about saying that I believe that the Bible is the word of God. (Because people seem to think bible believers are less intelligent.)

Anthony, in his humming and singing and unashamed happiness in reading and talking about Him. Cari, with her courage to come to me with the tactics that are given in "The Way Of The Master". Reading to me the 10 commandments and sticking in there with me when she starts asking me if I have told a lie. If I have stolen. If I have looked with lust . . . I laughed at her at the time but believe me all that she had said hit me pretty hard. Between the two of them they got me back into my Bible. Add to all of this the Bible Study group we have and all of the encouragement of my fellow studiers. Now I can honestly say that the Holy Spirit has blessed me and is helping me grow and learn and discern the word of God.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for

doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in

righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly

furnished unto all good works.(2 Timothy 3:16, 17)

Just this week I've had about five different experiences all pointing to the Holy Spirits working.
 
Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand

the scriptures.
(Luke 24:45)

No one can understand the scriptures without the Holy Spirit explaining them to him. Things of spirit we can't understand without the help of the Spirit.

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's

wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Spirit teacheth, comparing

spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not

the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him:

neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

(1 Corinthians 2:13, 14 NSRB)

Prayer List

  • Thank you Father thank you.
  • Lord, extend the kingdom of your Son.
  • O Merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that thou hast made, nor desirest the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live; Have mercy upon all who know thee not as thou are revealed in the Gospel of thy Son. Take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord to thy fold, that they may be one flock under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
  • God please take the blinders from my children's heart and eyes. Please give them the gift of faith. Lord God, faith in you is so comforting and brings so much joy. Thank you!
  • God please bless Michael, Lindsay, and their families with faith, wisdom, and compassion. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • God thank you for the gift of my co-workers who have shown me that it is good to show that I am a Christian. It is more than okay, it is imperative that my faith shows, so that others can come to know you. Please make me into a shining light for you. Give me the words, and your wisdom, and please don't let me cause anyone to stumble.
  • God please be with my family/friends as they go through this time in their lives. Please give them strength and courage and wisdom and faith Lord.
