Friday - Know-it-All

Happy Friday! Friday's are a fun day, even for those of us who don't work M-F. It just has an air of relief about it and I'm ready for a day to just breathe and not stress. Yesterday, was just one of those days for me. Everything I tried to do, i had to do twice, or even three times to get it right. Does that ever happen to you? I even had to go to Walmart twice and I still forgot things. 


Isn't it great that God never forgets? That He is the God who knows everything? He is El Deah, the God of Knowledge. When we think of His omniscience, we realize the He is THE one and only know-it-all. He is the God of all knowledge. Bob Hudson used to say "Did it ever occur to you that nothing ever occurred to God?" You can't teach him a new trick. He knows the start, the middle and the finish. And..all at once. He inhabits all of time and creation. 


God knows everything that has happened, is happening and will happen. Every butterfly wing that moves, every fish that jumps, every petal that drops...nothing is too small, including every thought you think. He knew when you would be born and he knows when you will die. God knew the second you would be saved. Nothing you can do surprises Him.  


“Have you ever come on anything quite like this extravagant generosity of God, this deep, deep wisdom? It’s way over our heads. We’ll never figure it out. Is there anyone around who can explain God? Anyone smart enough to tell him what to do? Anyone who has done him such a huge favor that God has to ask his advice? Everything comes from him; Everything happens through him; Everything ends up in him. Always glory! Always praise! Yes. Yes. Yes.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭11:33-36‬ ‭MSG‬‬


Everything comes from Him and everything happens through Him. What a mighty God we serve? 


Today, let's give all honor and glory and praise to El Deah the God who knows everything and still loves and cares for us. Amen?


Love you dear friend,

Pam

Happy Friday. It’s the end of another week and we have had more opportunities to share the love of Christ with those around us and sometimes that takes quite a bit of effort. I don’t know about you, but I’m not always anxious to embrace others and really listen to them or share with them (especially those who I don’t know well). Sometimes, I just look at them and think “Are you for real?” I don’t always agree with people over politics, sports or of course, religion. And let’s face it, we’d rather spend time with people we like and mostly agree.  And then I read my Bible. God hasn’t called us to sit in our little groups with only those we naturally gravitate towards, but to love people—all people, even those who aren’t necessarily loveable. In this passage, Paul writing to the people of Colosse remarks on how wonderful it is that they truly love others. That love must have really been something over and above the normal and he tells them that it is evident that it comes from the Holy Sp

Happy Wednesday to you. I hope your week is going well. Yesterday, I went to Sams. I was out of things like trash bags, toilet paper, and chicken, so off I went. I like going to Sams because there is always lots to look at and the isles are nice and wide. Everytime I’m there, I am amazed at how much stuff and everything from diapers to TVs to mangos to beds. It just seems incredible that so many things in such quantities are all under one roof.  King David never saw a store with as much stuff aa Sams of course, but he did see countless miracles and understand that God has plans. He knew from creation and history that he was serving a God of miracles and he know that God loved him and his people and would take care of them. He was amazed and awe-struck by the fact that a God who had done such great and mighty things not only cared about his people but that He loved them with such a great love.  “Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can co

It’s Thursday and I woke up to the blowing wind! Lots of it—I’m dreading Boomer waking up and having to go outside with him. That harsh, bitter wind seems cruel and almost evil. But I’ll wrap myself up with a fe layers and boots and brave it all.  Sometimes I think we try to do that with things we know aren’t right—things that are evil. We try to wrap ourselves up and just wade into it, but Paul tells us we should reject it—stay away from it. “Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil. May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.” ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:20-24‬ NIV When he wrote this he’d been in Berea and the Christians there diligently searched the scriptures to make sure everything Paul said was in line. Paul here is encouraging the Thessalonians to
