Welcome back to Heartstrings

My how the days fly by! I haven't turned my computer on for quite awhile. The summer has been busy and I think productive. Our garden is producing some things. We are grateful for any fresh produce God supplies. 

Along the way I have been reading Psalm 147 for the last week and over again I see the ways the Lord tells and shows us we are on His heart and longs for fellowship with us.

While it seems our world is tumbling down a long hole to darkness, we are encouraged to apply God's Word to our everyday lives. Life application. That for me is believing, trusting in and clinging to God's plans and promises. That is why I am seeing more of His Love by reading and rereading, thoughtfully; considering what He might want to tell me, in His Love Letter. Nothing is without signs of His purpose and love for us.

So, Psalm 147:5 says, "Great is our Lord and of great power; His understanding is inexhaustible and boundless."

When you pause to think about this you can find how it fits for every issue that presents itself before us on this journey. What comes to your mind?

First thing this morning, I woke with some pain and already tired! That shouldn't be. Bringing thoughts captive before the Lord and speaking Truth in the circumstances I find myself in, I can rise and walk in His strength. I cannot think about how I will feel tomorrow can I? I just need to fix my eyes on His Word and cling to Jesus, my Hope and great Strength.

Jesus knows better than anyone and understands. If you can believe this, you will be able to stand firm, girded in the full armor of God and raise up a banner of faith that declares...Lord God, You do the fighting for me!

We serve a Great God Who has Great Power! Do you know this? If you still question you place before Almighty God, then take time right now and call on Him. Be assured of your salvation and the blood of Jesus that was poured out to redeem your life from the pit. Think about His coming up from the grave and conquering death! This is our guarantee of eternal life! Praise the name of Jesus!

With every step today, I will trust His inexhaustible and boundless understanding. I will trust His Love and longing to be intimately involved in my life. I will abide in Him and take His Word to abide in me.

God is gracious and loving. He deserves our praise! Where do you spend your time worshipping? Before the social standards of the media, time trying out new forms of entertainment? Thinking about things that are worthless? What is true and noble? God will take care of all that concerns us. Only take all anxiety and lay it down at the feet of Jesus. Then with empty hands raise them up in worship. Sing a new song because now you know, you are on His heart.

Bless you all. You are in my prayers far and wide. Someday soon we will meet the Lord in the air and spend eternity together. You are loved!

Abundance is...Great is the Lord
