Bible Verse of the Day


2 Peter 1:5-8


For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Morning Blessings

Have you stepped outside today? Have you seen the morning sky, heard the lovely bird songs, felt the breeze on your face today? The God of all creation has placed before you some pretty awesome sights.

I know how blessed I am to live to where I do. We don't have a fancy house but we have a splendid display of God's creativity right before our eyes. From our vantage point, we see hills in the far distance. The rolling terrain has ponds, pastures, cows munching contently, coyote pups howling in the early morning for their mothers and more birds than I can even count of every description and size. We're on the migration path in the fall for the Monarch butterflies, how cool is that? Wild flowers in every color, shape and size are everywhere. We are surrounded by the majesty of His handiwork! We have cause to praise Him!

The God of all creation, our God, our Master, our Provider, our Healer, our Comforter, our All in All, is worthy of praise simply because he is the Great I AM. Regardless of your schedule today, in spite of how you may be feeling physically, emotionally or spiritually, stop what you are doing and reflect on just how worthy of praise He is. Look around you, Folks, you will see Him in everything.

Yes, I know how blessed we are to live here but if we lived anywhere else, we would be just as blessed because we are created by Him, called by Him, chosen by Him, loved by Him and protected by Him.

So are you!
