Happy Tuesday. Did you watch the big game last night? This year, LSU was the national football champions. So that question is settled, until next August and it all starts again. Who is the best? Isn’t is great that as a child of God, we never have to ask that question? We know who reigns and we know who conquered death and the grave. There is only one who reigns supreme and only one who should take first place in our lives. 


“For who in the skies above can compare with the Lord? Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings? In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared; he is more awesome than all who surround him. Who is like you, Lord God Almighty? You, Lord, are mighty, and your faithfulness surrounds you...The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth; you founded the world and all that is in it.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭89:6-8, 11‬ ‭NIV‬‬


I love this Psalm singing to the glories of God! Those above who can clearly see Him and his majesty praise His glory and we below who are aware of how we are so undeserving praise His faithfulness. Those in heaven sing along with those of us here to His supremacy in all things. 


God's greatness and His faithfulness are the two guarantees of the fulfillment of the promise. The fact that There are non who can compare with God, this incomparability, is an aspect of His holiness. The sense of holy is apartness, that God is incomparably greater than all the things and beings He created.He is not awed because of what he has done, but rather for who He is.


“Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: “Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭19:6-7‬ ‭NIV‬‬


The promise fulfilled. 


Lord God Almighty who reigns over all, we offer you our praise. You alone are faithful and you alone are holy. We rejoice to be one of yours and we give you glory. How great and mighty are you. Help us Lord to always be mindful of your perfect place in our lives and teach us Father to be more like you. We sometimes stumble over the silliest of things and yet, there we are. Teach us Lord to look to you rather that the things you have created. We love you and offer our worship to you this day. Come quickly Lord Jesus. Amen and amen. 


Love you dear one,

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
