YOUR GRACE STILL AMAZES ME... NOW THAT'S SMART!!!

MEDITATION MONDAY

.

"BLESSED ARE THE POOR IN SPIRIT,

FOR THEIRS IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN."

.

.

In our Sunday morning Bible class, we're doing a series entitled, "ONE VERSE WONDERS". Yesterday morning, Greg said he was cheating a little bit on his topic because he chose a phrase that is repeated over and over again in scripture. In fact, he even took it a little further than that! Have you ever considered why the following phrases are repeated often in scripture?

.

• Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
• Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

I have lived many years being motivated by guilt. I want to please God. I don't want to do the wrong thing. Recently, I've determined that thinking not to be such smart thinking. In order to please God, I need GRACE motivation.

.

Greg's class led me to think in the following way:

1. The GRACE of God is unmerited favor that He has extended to me - the sinner; in modern day terms we might say, "He's cut me lots of slack!"
2. The GRACE of God is what brings salvation! (Titus 2:11)
3. The GRACE of God teaches me to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age... (Titus 2:12)
4. The GRACE of God is used 123 times in the New Testament; it is coupled with the word PEACE for 36 of those times.
5. The GRACE of God often begins and ends a New Testament book.
6. Without GRACE there is no peace - just guilt; and, guilt steals joy!
7. God reminds us about His GRACE in 2 Corinthians 12:9, "And He has said to me, 'My GRACE is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.'"

.

Today, I'm thinking that if I'm really SMART, I will meditate on verse 9 on my journey to becoming POOR IN SPIRIT.

I OFFER MY LIFE... THE CROSS PROVES MY LOVE...

KETCHUP AND MUSTARD SATURDAY

Catch Up and Must Do

Left to my own doing, I can make a mess of just about anything. Really! Yet, turning myself over to Jesus, my Savior and LORD... He cleans me up to make me ready for service in His Kingdom .

What a joy to know the Creator of the universe and be used in His service!
A few permeating thoughts, as we near the end of the month:

• Why have I repeatedly, over the years, given my life to God only to take it back again and again?
• Why can I not continually offer my life as a sweet aroma in His service?
• When will I embrace the concept that the cross proves my love? No complaining! No whining! No keeping record of wrongs! Just joyful cross-bearing love!
• This video is so convicting. Be sure and pause the playlist above before playing it.
  
  

ALL TO JESUS I SURRENDER... GRATEFUL FOR ANOTHER CHANCE TO LIVE THE BLESSED LIFE...

1/11/11
.

Today is a great day to ask yourself some questions about your life!

.

Where are you today?
· Are you ashamed of your past?
· Are you apathetic to the life given you?
· Are you scared of what God wants from you?
· Are you drowning in your poor choices?
· Are you alone in your journey?
· Are you disappointed with your role?
· Are you hiding from the truth?

.
· Are you shackled by your sin…

• Ø Pornography
  Ø Adultery
  Ø Apathy
  Ø Divorce
  Ø Arrogance
  Ø Pride
  .

.
I’m not sure where you are today. But I know where He was that day.
· He was standing in your place.
· He was surrendered to God’s will.
· He was mocked before men.
· He was unwavering through torture.
· He was nailed to a tree.

.
· He was burdened with your sin…

• Ø Dishonesty
  Ø Gluttony
  Ø Lust
  Ø Greed
  Ø Selfishness
  .
  .

I’m not sure where you are today. But I know what He was doing for you that day.
· Oh, death, where is your sting?
· Oh, pride, where is your sting?
· Oh, pornography, where is your sting?
· Oh, fear, where is your sting?
· Oh, hell, where is your sting?
· Oh, divorce, where is your sting
· Oh, selfishness, where is your sting?
.

.
I’m not sure where you are today. But I know where you could be.
· You could be a new creation.
· You could be one with Him again.
· You could come awake with Christ today.

.

Grateful today, for second... third... fourth... chances! Hell is real! We talked about it a great deal yesterday. Today is the day to gratefully surrender to Jesus. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

WONDERFUL MERCIFUL SAVIOR... LOVE...

MEDITATION MONDAY

I love my church family! I love our preachers! I love my LORD and the way He works through all of them!
.
A week ago our worship was very balanced - as songs and communion focused on God's GRACE and Dan's sermon centered on the consequences of not being within God's GRACE.
.
Yesterday, Steve and Dan "tag teamed their lesson" as Dan began with our HOPE in the Baby who came to this earth to die and the FAITH we must have to finish this life strong! He spoke of his recent trip to the Holy Lands and specifically his visit to Bethlehem.
.
Steve continued his part of the tag team by going to 1 Corinthians 13:13, "And now these three remain: FAITH, HOPE and LOVE. But the greatest of these is LOVE."
.
Steve spoke of how Joseph and Mary must have both understood God's kind of LOVE. Reading about Joseph tells us that he was a patient and kind man. Steve quoted scripture, saying, that "kindness makes a man attractive." There is a lot about the 1 Corinthians 13 description of LOVE that describes Mary:

• rejoices with the truth
• bears all things
• believes all things (FAITH)
• HOPES all things
• endures all things

Jesus of Nazareth, the child who they raised, is our walking, living, breathing example of FAITH, HOPE, AND LOVE. In fact, in reading the definition of LOVE, we can do it this way:

1. Jesus is patient


2. Jesus is kind


3. Jesus does not envy


4. Jesus does not boast


5. Jesus is not proud


6. Jesus is not rude


7. Jesus is not self-seeking


8. Jesus is not easily angered


9. Jesus keeps no record of wrongs


10. Jesus does not delight in evil


11. Jesus rejoices with the truth


12. Jesus always protects


13. Jesus always trusts


14. Jesus always hopes


15. Jesus always perseveres


16. Jesus never fails

What a man of GRACE! Our theme song this week uses many descriptor words:

• Wonderful


• Merciful


• Saviour


• Precious


• Redeemer


• Friend


• Lamb


• Rescue


• Counselor


• Comforter


• Keeper


• Spirit


• HOPE


• The One


• Healing


• GRACE


• Almighty


• Infinite Father


• FAITHFUL


• LOVING
  

And then, the song connects with our scripture memory:

Here in our weakness You find us
Falling before Your throne
Oh, we're falling before Your throne.
.

Toward the end of Steve's part, he put a picture up on the screen of our church family. He spoke of us being Jesus with skin on. In order for that to happen, we have to be a people in LOVE with our LORD... who are being led by His Spirit... Colossians 1:27 ends with,

...Christ in you,

the HOPE of glory.

The Baby from Bethlehem became The Man who knew where His HOPE lie... His FAITH in the Father remained steadfast... His LOVE was perfect:

• John 3:16 "For God so LOVED the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
• 1 John 3:16 "This is how we know what LOVE is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers."
• 2 John 5-6 "I ask that we LOVE one another. 6 And this is LOVE: that we walk in obedience to His commands. As you have heard from the beginning, His command is that you walk in LOVE."

I'M STILL YOURS... IN FAITH... IN HOPE... IN LOVE......

.

Last Thursday and Friday I shared with you briefly about the Power of 3. Since then, I've been thinking about it more. I'm so thankful for the simplicity in this amazing little concept.

.

3 in 1 God:

God the Father,

God the Son,

God the Holy Spirit.

The Power of 3!

.

3 sided triangle:

the strongest shape in architecture.

The Power of 3!

.

December 3:

the day of my birth.

The Power of 3!

.

3 grand children:

C, P, & K!

The Power of 3!

.

1, 2, 3:

for teaching the steps to learning something-

First! Second! Third!

The Power of 3!

.

1, 2, 3:

Ready! Set! Go!

The Power of 3!

.

These 3 remain:

Faith, Hope, and Love...

but the greatest of these is LOVE.

The Power of 3!

.

I'm thankful today that God very simply gives me the power to make a difference.

• Today, I'm thankful that I can share my FAITH with 3 people.


• Today, I am thankful that I can give HOPE to 3 people.


• Today, I am thankful that I can be the LOVE of Jesus to 3 people!

MY PRAYER IS THAT THEY PASS IT ON... PAY IT FORWARD... IT'LL MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN OUR WORLD BEFORE THE END OF 2010... BECAUSE THERE IS THE POWER OF 3!

POWER OF 3!

LET MY WORDS BE FEW...I STAND IN AWE OF YOU...

THANK YOU, JESUS!
Romans 5:1-8

• "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
• 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
• 3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
• 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.
• 5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
• 6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
• 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
• 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
  

Jesus, over and above all that, it is amazing to me that You willingly came down from heaven as IMMANUEL (God with us!) Then, when You returned to heaven, You wanted us to know that You would remain with us as You chose to *IN-MAN-YOU-DWELL*! Thank You for such GRACE! Thank You, the Creator, for loving me!

When it comes to life,
the critical thing is whether you take things for granted
or take them with gratitude.
~GK Chesterton-

LET MY WORDS BE FEW... GIGATTAATTGIG...

MEDITATION MONDAY

.

This month, our scripture memory has been a constant reminder to me that a "transformed mom":

• rejoices in suffering
• suffers while persevering
• allows perseverance to develop character
• gets hope through character
• knows that hope does not disappoint

I've thought a lot about how hard it is to go down this path of life, full of enormous challenges, and not let myself say, "If only..." OR to look to the future and not be discouraged. I went to, my daughter-in-love, Jacqueline's blog the other day and she had changed the words in her header to read, "Learning to live in the present moment is part of the path to joy." Ah, yes! That sounds like another take on "Keep rejoicing as you persevere in your suffering!"

.

Dan, had another take on this concept yesterday morning. Steve always begins his sermons with "God Is Good All The Time..." and the congregation responds "...And All The Time God Is Good." Yesterday, was Dan's turn to preach (they each preach half the sermons each year at our Sunday morning church services). Dan began his sermon the way that Steve usually does. In fact, Dan's whole sermon was about G.I.G.A.T.T.A.A.T.T.G.I.G.

.

Dan listed a bunch of really rough stuff that the people in our church family have gone through... deaths, divorce, chronic illness, cancer, loss of finances, loss of homes... he confessed the times that he could not say GIGATTAATTGIG. He kept us focused on Romans 8:28

• "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. "

Dan emphasized that God is good ALL the time, it doesn't say that everything in a christian's life is good. In fact, if we connect this verse with our scipture for this month, we can see that for those who love God, it is in the journey of suffering and perseverance and character building that the working for good and hope prevails.

.

One of Dan's illustrations was a ruler and a yardstick. We get discouraged because we only see things from our perspective and not from God's. The ruler represented a person's life from birth to physical death. The yardstick (with infinite arrows on both ends) represented God's life/perspective.

Today, as I consider God's good and much bigger perspective, I recommit to joyfully persevere in suffering as I believe that GIGATTAATTGIG. I imagine myself standing at the foot of the cross as I let His blood drip down on me. I sing "I stand in awe of You, Jesus. I stand in awe of You! I'll let my words be few... Jesus, I am so in love with You."

.

Thank you, Jesus for:

• counting it great joy to suffer for me
• persevering through sneers, tauntings, floggings, crucifiction...
• displaying the depth of your character by not giving in to the evil one
• desiring for things to work out for good for my family and me...
• living so that I can have a hope and a future
• loving me, in spite of me
  

TABLE OF GRACE... CARRIED TO THE TABLE...

KETCHUP AND MUSTARD SATURDAY

Catch Up and Must Do

There are many times that I feel totally paralyzed. The negative self-talk... words from the enemy are so dehabilitating:

• How can I go on?
• What do I do next?
• I'm not worthy!
• What does it matter?
• I'm so afraid!

In the midst of the battle, when I choose to fix my eyes on Jesus, two things often come to mind:

• Jesus carrying me... because I cannot do it...
• The story of the paralytic, as told in Mark 2, who had 4 friends who brought him to Jesus

Today, I share with you three videos, of the same song, that have all impacted me in different ways. They all say to me, "Welcoe to THE TABLE OF GRACE!" Maybe because I am someone who loves the "one another passages" in the Bible or that I am a special educator, I especially love the third video! Be sure and pause the playlist above before watching. Enjoy! Be encouraged!

.




"Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited." Romans 12:16




"Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves." Romans 12:10

TABLE OF GRACE... THANK YOU, LORD..

Thanksgiving Day is over and many have moved on to shopping and other things. My prayer is that in your family and mine, no matter where we are, that we will stay at THE TABLE OF GRACE continually thanking the LORD!

TABLE OF GRACE... ON THE ROAD OF HOPE...

TRANSFORMING THURSDAY

.

THANK YOU, JESUS!
.
In honor of my thanksgiving to Jesus, here are a few videos that speak my heart. Please pause the playlist above before beginning the videos.
.

These are a few of my favorite "musical moments" that sum up my heart and our scripture memory for this month at the Table of Grace.
.
1.
Roll the little ball on the video over to 2:45 and then watch the rest of the video of the singing of WHEN I SURVEY THE WONDROUS CROSS:





.
2.

Thank You, Jesus, for being WORTHY to take the hit for all of us. As I watch this video, I think of our scripture memory. You teach us, through Your life, that SUFFERING leads to PERSEVERANCE and PERSEVERANCE builds CHARACTER and CHARACTER leads to HOPE and HOPE does not disappoint. We rejoice on the road to HOPE!
.

3.

Thank You, Jesus! I am a sinner saved by Your Grace! Thank You for inviting me to the feast!

GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS... MARY, DID YOU KNOW???

KETCHUP AND MUSTARD SATURDAY

Catch Up and Must Do

Sorry! I already had my burger for the week! Wednesday I found myself close to a Sonic and Thursday I was in the same area. It was time for a visit!

As usual, I made sure I had mustard on my #1.

Again, this week, I've had time to drive and think.

.

I've thought a lot about the week Jesus had between Palm Sunday and the cross. His faithful perseverance and endurance is amazing! I've thought about where Mary was during that week, also. I'd like to visit with you today about that last week of Jesus' life. Since I've already had my burger. How about I talk and you eat?!!!?!??!

.

I'd like to recap His last week by listing what happened each day and then putting the Gospel Zip Codes for your easy reference. A Gospel Zip code tells you all the places in the gospels a certain story is found. For instance, Jesus Feeding the 5,000 is found in 14, 696. That means that story is found in Matthew 14, Mark 6, Luke 9, and John 6.

.

• PALM SUNDAY: Jesus enters Jerusalem 21,11,19,12; Jesus spends the night in Bethany 21,11,00
• MONDAY: Jesus curses the fig tree 21,11,00; Cleanses the Temple the second time 21,11,19,0; Healing in the Temple - 21,000; Leaves Jerusalem in evening - 0,11,00
• TUESDAY: They see the fig tree that is now dried up-21,11,00 ; Jesus teaches in the temple and His authority is questioned - 21,11,19,0; Jesus tells the parable of The 2 Sons - 21,000 ; Jesus tells the parable of The Wicked Husbandmen - 21,12,20,0; Jesus tells the parable of The Marriage of the King's Son and answers questions - 22,12,20,0; Jesus speaks of the 8 Woes Against Pharisees - 23,12,20,0; Jesus speaks on the Necessity of Faith - 000,12; Jesus speaks concerning the Destruction of Jerusalem - 24,13,21,0; Jesus tells the parable of the Leaves of Fig Trees and Other Trees - 24,13,21,0; Jesus tells the parable of the Householder Watching - 24,13,00; Jesus tells the 3 parables of Ten Virgins / Talents / The Sheep and The Goats - 25,000
• WEDNESDAY: There is no record. It could quite possibly have been a "High Sabbath" as described in Leviticus 23.
• THURSDAY: Preparation of Passover - 26,14,22,0; Jesus speaks to disciples at Last Supper - 26,14,22,13; Jesus speaks to Peter - 26,14,22,13; Prays in The Garden of Gethsemane - 000,17; Agony in Gethsemane - 26,14,22,18; Betrayed in Gethsemane - 26,14,22,0; Jesus heals Malchus' ear-0022,18

• and then they waited... the women... his mother... his disciples.... Friday had now gone but Sunday was coming!!!

.

.

GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS... FAITHFUL LOVE ...

.

If there hadn't been a "Good Friday" we would not be family!!! He could have called ten thousand angels to rescue Him from death on a cross, but it was His faithful love that kept Him there...

HE'S STILL WORKING ON ME... TO BE A HELPER...

.

This month, on this blog, we've been working together to memorize Ephesians 2:4-10. As we look at verses 9-10 this week, we see that God reminds us that we are His workmanship. I am so thankful that God does the work and allows us to be co-workers... helpers. In fact, did you know that there are only two types of "helpers" talked about in scripture? First, the Holy Spirit is the christian's Helper. Second, woman is also called a helper. What an honor to wear the same name as the Holy Spirit! It is the Holy Spirit who helps me to...

1. ...know that I only need God's approval.
2. ... desire to have a servant heart.
3. ...understand that life is about loving God and loving others.
4. ...comprehend that life is not about who wins the most academic prizes, it's about having God's wisdom.
5. ...be convicted of my sin and be transparent enough to share my struggles with others.
6. ...to think other worldly... in heavenly realms... and understand that the last become first.
7. ...grasp forgiveness so that I can learn to show grace.
8. ...know that my things belong to God.
9. ...remind myself that I am fearfully and wonderfully made by God.
10. ...keep pointed toward Christ when no one else will!
    .

I have such an honor to be my husband's helper! As part of that role, I help our children. I am not the same person I was in 1981 when I became a mother for the first time. God has continued to mold and shape me into the helper who He has wanted me to be. Today, I am thankful for the Biblical challenge that this video gives us all to be helpers! Be sure and pause the playlist above before viewing this short and wonderful video!

HE'S STILL WORKING ON ME

SUNDAY IN THE SON

Ephesians 2:9-10

MEDITATION MONDAY

.
Please join me in meditating on a second video featuring our song this week. Pause the playlist above before beginning and then ponder the connection with our new memory verses for the month written above and below.

Ephesians 2:4-104

"But because of his great love for us,

God, who is rich in mercy,

5 made us alive with Christ

even when we were dead in transgressions-

it is by grace you have been saved.

6 And God raised us up with Christ

and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms

in Christ Jesus,

7 in order that in the coming ages He might

show the incomparable riches of His grace,

expressed in

His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

8 For it is by grace you have been saved,

through faith-and this not from yourselves,

it is the gift of God-

9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

10 For we are God's workmanship,

created in Christ Jesus to do good works,

which God prepared in advance for us to do."

THERE IS A FOUNTAIN...

SUNDAY IN THE SON

Steve and I finished up speaking today
at a seminar in Huntsville, Alabama called:
THE SILENT KILLER.
.
Pornography is ripping up families
as it darkens the hearts and minds of
daddies, mommies, and children.
.
Yet, there is hope for this sin
and all other sinners in the blood of Jesus...
forgiveness...
new beginnings...
connection...
relationship...
eternal life...
.
Christians aren't perfect my friend...
just forgiven!

IN CHRIST ALONE MEDLEY lyrics

In Christ alone my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song

This Cornerstone, this solid ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

.

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease

My Comforter, my All in All

Here in the love of Christ I stand

.

In Christ alone, who took on flesh

Fullness of God in helpless babe

This gift of love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones He came to save

.

‘Til on that cross as Jesus died

The wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live

.

There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain

Then bursting forth in glorious Day

Up from the grave He rose again

.

And as He stands in victory

Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me

For I am His and He is mine

Bought with the precious blood of Christ

.

In Christ alone I place my trust

And find my glory in the power of the cross

In every victory let it be said of me

My source of strength

My source of hope...

.

In Christ alone I place my trust

And find my glory in the power of the cross

In every victory let it be said of me

My source of strength

My source of hope...

.

In Christ alone

No guilt in life,

no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From life's first cry

to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell,

no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His Hand

'til He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
