February 25–The Wisdom of God

Good Sabbath day to you. I hope this day finds you well and ready to worship the Lord our God. This day I am thinking about how great our God is and how marvelous His works are. Do you ever look back on your life and trace God’s hand of wisdom? Do you ever see how even though you didn’t necessarily care about Him, He was always caring about you and making sure of the path for your life? And even if you can’t see it, you can rest assured that He was watching over you and mapping out the plan He has in store for you. It amazes me how He so carefully guides each and every one of us. And maybe along the way we made a few poor choices, but He was there to help us, and anytime we needed Him, He would hold our hand and show us how to get back on track, just like you might do with a toddler. 


“He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name. Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.” Psalm‬ ‭147:4-5‬ ‭

It humbles me that as great and flawless as God is, as brilliant and wise and marvelous, as the Lord himself naturally always will be, that we are the center of His world. We, people who are so very flawed, people who get it wrong more than not, are loved desperately and infinitely by a God who never gets it wrong. 

“This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. ... And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them....We love because he first loved us.”

‭‭1 John‬ ‭4:10-11, 16, 19‬. 

So because the Commander in chief and architect of the entire universe sees fit to love us with a crazy love that is all encompassing, don’t you think the very least we can do is to love those around us? We take care of those we come into contact with and share the biggest thing in our lives, the game changer for us. We tell them about Jesus, because if we don’t do that, we don’t really love them, do we? 

Dear great Jehovah you are so extravagant with a generosity like we do not deserve. Your deep, deep wisdom is way over our heads and we will never figure it out. Everything comes from You; Everything happens through You; Everything ends up in You. Always glory! Always praise to You our great King. Amen and amen. 

Praise Him this Sunday dear one and know that I love you,

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
