At the Well - Most High

Today's At the Well is sure to get the week moving in the right direction. The discussion is "The Most High" and the questions to ponder are:

Who or What is most high in your mind and heart today?
Is it the Most High or someone or something else?

Numerous times in the Psalms God is referred to as The Most High. I love reading these verses as it puts God in His rightful place - above all. It stirs up praise and adoration in the heart as we place Him over everything. Here are a few verses:

I will praise the LORD according to His righteousness,
And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.

I will be glad and rejoice in You;
I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

For the Lord Most High is awesome;
He is a great King over all the earth.

I will cry out to God Most High,
To God who performs all things for me.

Truly God is over all and is worthy of all our adoration and praise! But many times the sights and sounds of our daily life clamor for first place. How do we keep the Most High - high up in our lives?

The importance of a daily quiet time cannot be emphasized enough. This is nourishment and strength for our soul. Time spent in prayer equips us for the day, time spent reading God's Word gives us direction and guidance and daily partaking in this daily time brings growth and maturing as Christians.

But as our physical food wears off and we need refueling, we need to keep a constant supply of spiritual food nearby through our day. Surrounding ourselves with things of the Lord, keeps our focus on Him and keeps Him lifted up. Making the best choice through the day in our music, reading material and conversation can help bring the godly perspective to our thoughts and actions. Our world today bombards us with its influence which places other high up. Keeping our choices on things that honor God keeps Him - The Most High - all through our day!

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....
