Word Filled Wednesday

Word Filled Wednesday is an opportunity to share God's Word. It has been such a blessing to me joining the other bloggers who are sharing in Word Filled Wednesday over at 160 Acre Woods.


This verse is very special to me. Years ago as a newlywed, my husband got a job which entailed him working shift work. He would have to work night shift sometimes and as a young wife, I would promptly go to my mother's house to sleep! For a few years following, day shift was the normal - YEAH! Then a great opportunity came for a different job with an increase in salary - but it was all night shift. By then we had children and it was not so easy to run to Mama's house. I made the decision to stick it out and stay home. This was a biggie as I was a huge chicken - scared of everything. Only a day or two before his new job began, as I was reading the Bible - this verse jumped out at me. I realized that safety comes only from God. There was no need for me to fret, worry or stay awake, God was in control and I could lie down and sleep for He alone would keep me. Nothing I could do could keep me safe, only God. So, I printed this verse out, kept it under my pillow, repeated it out loud each night before bed and guess what... God saw us through! It was a big faith increase for me in my Christian walk - God is able!

    That's a great verse! For a time, my older son had fears at night and we would read Scriptures about fear and safety before bed. It's wonderful to know our safety comes from the Lord. Who is more powerful than He?

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him....
