June 7-The Word

Happy Thursday to you. Friends and family showed up yesterday to pray over my house and to write on the frame. Many of you had sent scripture and those are there too! There is hardly a clean board left. I was so very moved before we left last nigh. Verses for peace, verses for blessings, and verses proclaiming the greatness of God. The house is surrounded by the Word and we know that is does not go out void. I can only imagine the workers today as they see all that Bible everywhere. It is such a witness to them. I can ask envision if Jesus tarries, a young couple doing a remodel of their house and tearing out the Sheetrock long after I’m gone and seeing that scripture. “Look at this! And here’s another one. And another...” Can you see it? It’s because the very Word of God will not go unnoticed. 


“By faith we understand that the universe was created by the Word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11:3‬ ‭ESV‬‬


What IS seen is made of things NOT seen. Ok. Wrap your brain around that for a few seconds. I’ve heard people try to say he’s talking about atoms and that kind of thing, but no. He is saying that He made it all out of nothing. Out of nothing. The Word made the universe out of NOTHING. How do we grasp that? 


“Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation.” Hebrews‬ ‭11:1-2‬ ‭NLT‬‬


“He wore a robe dipped in blood, and his title was the Word of God.”

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭19:13‬ ‭NLT‬‬


Word of God we pray you surround us this day with your spirit of holiness. We ask for your blessings and power as we face the world and it’s struggles and issues that seem to constantly slam into us. We love you and adore you and cherish our time with you. Fill us with your goodness and a compassion for those around us who don’t know you. Teach us to be more like you. You are the Almighty King of Glory and we sing praise to you this day. Amen and amen. 


Love you dear one,

Pam


PS For those of you who have asked about mom, she is doing very well. She is at Granby House for 20 days of rehab. Yesterday when I went to see her, she knew me was glad to see me, told me she wanted to stay there because she liked it and (the biggest shock of all) introduced me as “Pam Hudson”. She hasn’t used my full name in probably 2-3 years or more and she rarely even calls me Pam. So she is very happy and doing great. God gave me a special blessing yesterday to see her in such great spirits.

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
