Daily Scripture and thoughts




What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4:9 ESV)

Dear Ones
 Paul is encouraging believers that he discipled and shared The Word with to follow after and live according to what they have seen and learned. 

Human beings are mimickers- they follow after each other doing as the others do- if a certain shirt is In style- then everyone is wearing it. Piercings are a fad- everyone is punching holes all over their body, tattoos are the latest and greatest and guess what,yep everyone is doing it.

 When you think independently then going against the flow then you are considered strange or weird.

Following hard after Christ is not popular. Allowing His Word to manifest it self, standing for purity of body and mind, foresaking your flesh is uncommon.  Loving others more than yourself, no we live by the philosophy it's a dog eat dog world. Loving our neighbors, and our enemies, NO way... Whether less set a guard over our mouths, or honor our mother and father or even take care of the orphans and widows -- now you are asking way too much. 

To justify sin people actually say we are not in the stone ages we are in the 21 st century after all. I wonder what kind of justification they gave in Sodom and Gamorah? 

The last statement the God of peace will be with you... So if you wonder why you do not have a life of peace, examine your life, guaranteed you will find sin, and you will see you are not following hard after Christ. Peace is given to those who diligently seek after Him. You will not find peace in this World, and everything in this World goes against Our Lord.

If you say you love The Lord, then how can you pray to Him asking Him for favor knowing you have sin in your life you are willing to release or change? 

Lord forgive us for not being a peculiar people. For not having the level of love we should, to die to our selves, our flesh and be truly different from this world. Lord we take advantage of You, Your Word, and Your Grace, forgive us and help us. Open our eyes so that we may see the visions of truth you have!

In Jesus Name- Amen

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Hello all...

Hello my Siesta(Beth Moore's word for Sisters-Love it)  I have decided to start this online bible Blog Study that Preacher's Wife  wrote. It has already started my wheels turning in my mind and heart. The very first question:  Are there any circumstances or relationships in your life where you can see God has intentionally placed you? Yes- many! A few grow heavy in my heart! What do you perceive may be at stake if you do or do not speak out for Him? The person's soul will be lost for eternity. They will not walk with me into the gates of heaven and I will spend the rest of my eternal life knowning I did nothing, said nothing and do not do what God intended me to do. Can you Honestly describe yourself as a woman with a "yes" in her spirit? No I can not say I can- I would like to fool myself and those around you to say I am but when it comes down to it.. I have failed! If not what keeps you from this? FEAR- fear that the person will see my words as judgement and no...

What is the meaning of family or extended family to you?

One of the things about moving to Texas that we were "excited" about was the thought of having "all the family" here.(actually extended family) Grandma,grandpa,  Sam's brothers, and sister are all here.  Well we have been here almost 6 months now. I guess the newness of us being here has worn off, because we do not receive  phone calls, text messages, or emails of;" what are you all doing this weekend?"  " Do you want to get together?"  It has turned out to be just like any other time we lived in close vicinity of each other. We have become special occasion, holiday only relations.  Why is that?  How does that happen?  Is it because we live such separate lives?   Our lives are very uneventful. We spend them each day just surviving that day. We do not think of tomorrow- (that is scriptural) We do not take pleasure in vain things. I hate to shop. I love to sew. I hate going to the beauty parlor. All those things that "woman" are suppo...
