Ponder the Path of Thy Feet.....

The sayings of the Bible can be confusing sometimes. Here Jesus is talking about food and thirst but truly He is not talking about physical food but talking about food for the soul. See the Lord is to our souls what food is for our body. Matthew Henry states, " Christ shows that he is the true Bread; he is to the soul what bread is to the body, nourishes and supports the spiritual life. He is the Bread of God. Bread which the Father gives, which he has made to be the food of our souls. Bread nourishes only by the powers of a living body; but Christ is himself living Bread, and nourishes by his own power. The doctrine of Christ crucified is now as strengthening and comforting to a believer as ever it was." Dear Ones so often we seek to be fed and filled by the things of this world. Hoping to be filled and find contentment through every means but the one who gives everlasting food to our souls. Jesus is the ever lasting bread of life who brings us to a place of true joy that ...

Often we find ourselves worrying about tomorrow. Not focusing on the today because of what might happen tomorrow. The Bible tells us not to worry at all, but this message is a great reminder. Remember today has enough trials to keep us focused on today instead of worrying what tomorrow will bring. Keep your mind set on the things above. Let God do what He does best. He manages all things better than we could ever attempt to do. So leave tomorrow in the hands of God. Thank you for walking this journey with me Angie

In life we seek to find friends. Ones that encourage us, guide us to the Lord when we stray, ones that will love unconditionally and even in some circumstance will love sacrificially the way that Christ did. Through the years people have come and gone out of my life some gently and some not so kindly. In the end you look back and wonder what value did that person or persons have on your life. Some you can see so clearly and others well you just are left wondering if they had any at all. You wonder what was it the Lord wanted you to see or learn. This is where I am today! I am trying to see what it is I was to learn. All I can see is the pain, the hurt, the ungodly consistency of behavior of people that I once called friend. But I spend time making sure that I examine my plank. I make sure I seek my failures and my heart is to learn so that I may glorify the Lord in all I say and do. I want to be better and do better for the Lord. In so many ways the body of Christ is failing. People a...

Life has been so overwhelming lately, time seems to slip away, and I don't feel like I have enough time in my day to accomplish all that I need to accomplish. I have neglected my time with the Lord. In a prayer meeting yesterday a peace washed over me, I felt the stress I was carrying with me melt away and the Holy Spirit impressed on me so clearly that though I may not have enough time to successfully accomplish all the things I need to in each day, one thing is for certain is HOW much I need my time in the Word. I need that time to help keep my mind focused on the things above, and remind me that the things of this world, the pressures, expectations, deadlines, and requirements are nothing. They mean absolutely nothing in light of eternity and my walk with Christ is what is most important… so let us refocus on the things that matter-The Word of God and our time with Him. "Thus says the Lord, who made the earth, the Lord who formed it, to establish it—the Lord is his name:...

Are there moments or times when you know you need to pray, you feel a need to pray and you just don't know what to say? I find myself in that place more often than I want. " In our weakness we have the help of the Spirit. Jesus is our intercessor in heaven ( Heb 7:25 ), and the Spirit is our intercessor on earth within our hearts. We are limited and ignorant, but the Spirit uses unspoken groanings to communicate our needs. This is not “speaking in tongues or languages” (Gk glossolalia). It is instead wordless. Our heavenly Father knows what is happening in our lives and within the deep recesses of our personalities ( 1Sm 16:7 ; Pr 15:11 ; Jr 17:10 ). " Holman Study Bible Notes Be reassured when you are at a loss for words, the Holy Spirit intercedes on your behalf. Thank you for journeying with me, Angie

Did you know that Christ suffered on the cross for everyone? Yes, everyone. Even those who do not believe, even those who reject him, even those who state He was not the Messiah. Yes, he suffered for all. What an amazing thought, isn't it? Those who do not know Christ have no idea of the great gift He has given by His sacrifice. Lets us all be great examples of that great sacrifice and good stewards of the Gospel of Christ.

In today's world where standing for the Word of God is frowned upon. How do we stand against the hatred people feel towards Believers of Christ and His Word. We have a choice to make to stand on the Word and or bow our heads in shame. Why would one be ashamed? Well, because standing means turning from sin and every appearance of evil. Things you might have done, ways you use to talk or even people you use to hang out with must be examined in the light of this Gospel. In the end there are those who would much rather not share or rather not change for fear of rejection by their friends or family. Challenge: dear one stand on the Word, not with fear. Be strong and courageous, knowing that God gives us strength to stand on the Gospel of Christ that brings salvation to all who b elieve. Thank you for journeying with me, Angie
