His Touch

Lord many the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in your sight.

It is not what a man eats the defiles him but the words that he speaks, for words

come from the heart.

I have not written much this month because like everyone I got too busy. I even got too busy to read the bible much or take time to worship, or allow my heart to connect. Oh.. I would read a devotional or check out a verse or make a stab at trying to put those pure nuggets of gold in my heart and that little bit helps but the real meat the real connections comes when I sit still, listen to His voice. His mercy's are new every morning and the word He speaks each day of my life is a treasure. Why waste breath without connecting to the King of the Universe

Thank you Lord....He got my attention as I was driving to the gym (a new thing lately to keep alive). The man on the radio, in a very kind slow voice, like a grandfather would speak, talked about the words of our mouth. How these words can build up, encourage and deliver others into to presence of God. How they can help us all see life as God intended. Positive words of faith and discipline that eliminate the presence of the negatives we are surrounded by daily. His words immediately placed me into God presence and for a brief moment I experienced Gods heart and touch. There is nothing in life like His touch and nothing in life is worth missing that presence.

So today, if you have not taken a moment to connect to the King of the universe and let His presence carry you away to peace, stop what ever it is that keeps you so busy and let His touch free you.

Indescribable

1 Cor. 1:18,19; Gal 2:20

We always go into Christian Book stores on vacation. This year was no exception. My husband found a video called Indescribable by Louie Giglio. You must get it and enjoy the indescribable universe and how it glorifies our God. The message? The Cross.

The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written " I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."

We can tell others about all the things God has done for us but the only thing we can ever say that has power to bring someone into salvation is the message of the cross. In other words, until a person understands that he or she has messed up, sinned, made mistakes in the sight of God, our creator, the boss of the universe and that this creator through love died for those sins; (taken the punishment, paid the debt) they do not get it. They miss what life is all about.

Life is about surrendering our lives to this creator, our God. Life is accepting his forgiveness which involves admitting fault , confession of sin, repentance and letting him live his life through us. Life is about him and what he wants not about us and what we want. Once we surrender to His will and stop trying to get everything we think we want, life is never dull, never unsatisfying never empty. It has meaning, direction, fulfillment because the one who created us knows what we need and satisfies us with Himself. It turns out that He is all we need to be happy and enjoy life. He is the answer, the treasure.

For it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me and the life I now live I live by faith in him who gave himself for me.

Check out the video. It puts things into perspective.

A Prayer

Ephesians 1:17-23

I have pray this passage often for my family because scripture says to pray according to God's will. Since scripture passages are God's will for our lives, we can know the prayer is answered. There is much depth in this small passage. Thus I've placed questions to encourage research.

A Clue

The answers are personal and deal with our admiration, worship and awe of God. They relate to knowing him in a way that results in eternal life from now through eternity.

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints and His incomparable great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under His feet and appointed Him to be head over everything for the Church, which is His body the fullness of Him who fills everything in every way.

• What is wisdom and revelation?
• Know Him better, why?
• Eyes enlightened, how?
• What hope, what calling?
• What glorious inheritance?
• What power?
• What age to come?
