March 4-Marvelous Are Thy Works


Happy Saturday y’all. I hope your week was a productive one. Mine was busy and yet I managed to have some fun. The day before yesterday I was on my deck and 24 pelicans were right in front of my house swimming in formation. Even though I see them all the time, when I saw them in this perfect configuration, it took my breath. They were simply amazing in their disposition and beauty. 


It affirms for me yet again that marvelous are Thy works, they are fitted and are they made to excite wonder and admiration. The particular reference here is to His own formation; but the same remark may be made of the works of God in general. And my soul knows well, I am fully convinced of it and I am deeply impressed by it. Even if we understand nothing else about them, we can clearly see that the works of God are "wonderful” and all we need to do is look around just a bit. From the the birds to the deer to the stars to kids on the playground. Great and marvelous. Even the ants in the dirt are amazing if we just take time to watch. Sometimes I look at a weed in the sidewalk and think “What manner of miracle is it that makes that live and grow? How many things have to work just perfectly at the atomic level for that to happen?” And yet, it does, everywhere you look! 


“Great are the works of the LORD; they are pondered by all who delight in them. Glorious and majestic are his deeds, and his righteousness endures forever. He has caused his wonders to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and compassionate.”

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭111:2-4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God.”

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭86:10‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭139:14‬ ‭NIV‬‬


Oh Great Jehovah how great is your creation O Lord and how amazing are your works. You are our God, the Messiah, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, the King of Kings. We praise you and lift you high. Hallelujah. Amen and amen. 


Take a minute to took around this day friend, 

Love you,

Pam

P.S. I have decided that I’m going to try to take Sundays off. My sister along with a few others have been after me that everyone needs one day, so I’m going to try. Tomorrow will be my first one. Have a great Sabbath worshipping the Lord. Talk to you Monday...

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
