Words for your weekend!!

Hello everyone, I hope you all have had a really good week so far! Mine has been on the busy side, so I haven’t gotten to posting as much as I would have liked to. This morning, however, I’m taking some time to get this  post up!

This week’s ‘words for your weekend’ post is from the book “Lord, I want to know you” by Kay Arthur. I’m currently doing this study with some friends of mine and this book is a gold mine! There is so much ‘meaty’ stuff in here, I just can’t get enough!

I’m going to share with you a few excerpts from Chapter 12  “The Lord Who Sanctifies You.”

  "’You can tell by what is foremost in your life, by what you give yourself to! How important is God’s Word? How devoted are you to really learning it so that you can live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God (Deut. 8:3)? Are you spoon-fed, or are you learning to feed yourself? Do you flirt with Christianity, or do you love God with all your heart, all your mind, all your strength?’

   ‘Israel was to be – as we are to be – a kingdom or priests, a holy nation (1 Peter 2:9). Thus, God brought His people to Mount Sinai where He gave them the covenant of the Law and the pattern of the tabernacle where they would worship their God. These commandments would set them apart as peculiar people for God’s own possession.’

   ‘What is the purpose of our Redemption? To make us righteous, to make us holy. Only holiness can abide in the presence of the Most Holy God. Therefore, God tells us in Hebrews 12:14, “Follow…holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.” Holiness is not an option, it’s a requirement! The constant observance of the Sabbath, week in and week out, was to remind the children of Israel that they were “A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR GOD’S OWN POSSESSION” (1 Peter 2:9).’

 

I hope that these passages have impacted you as much as they did me. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know God better and better understand how he works in our lives.

Have a great weekend!

Loving on others

As most of you know, we sponsor 1 child financially and we correspond with 2 more. This has been such a blessing for us. This has really opened our eyes to  what life is like in other countries and also to how much love we can feel for someone we have never met. These 3 boys are so special to us and it will be a sad time when our correspondence will have to end. But this is not the only way to love on others. This is only one of the few. It could be helping the homeless, either by serving at your local soup kitchen or even as simple as dropping a few groceries into the helping hands bin at your grocery store. It may seem like a very small act to you but it could be life changing for someone else. or it could be as simple as a… It could even be as easy as letting someone cut in front of you, either in the store line or in your car on the road. Loving on others is so easy that most of us seldom realize how many opportunities we have each and every day to do so! What ki...
