At the Well - Most High

Gathering At the Well


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!

    Enjoyed both of your posts today...I am going to seek out bite size bits of joy this week...and savor them for what they are - instead of regarding them as "guilty pleasures" when I should have been doing something else! A great motivation for this Monday - THANKS!

    It's easy to get so caught up in living that we forget the One who has given us life!

    I'm learning how to cut out the noise so that I can hear Him more clearly. When I turn off the radio and TV and shut down the computer (gasp!), I'm always able to hear him MUCH more clearly.

    Thank you for the reminder. I enjoyed my visit with you today.

    You are so right that the choices we make throughout the day in our thoughts, music, reading material etc., either help or hinder the position of where we place God in our lives. If He is the most High, or choices will honor Him.

    Thanks!

Paths of Prayer

Today, I'm joining up with Five Minute Friday, a fun writing opportunity to connect and share a quick thought on this week's theme "Path". For many years, when coming across a Scripture about 'paths', it turned into a prayer and desire to be led down God's open paths. Through the years of life which included, marriage, keeping a home, job, raising children and as they began to explore their own paths, seeking God and His paths became a vital part of life and prayer.  As God's Word reveals God's goodness and His ways, I want to be walking - living a lifestyle on the paths that He leads.  Some of my favorite 'path' verses include: Proverbs 4:18 "But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day."   Psalm 25:4,  "Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths,"  Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding; in all your way...

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...

Construction, Challenges, Chaos

 Who knew something simple could erupt into something chaotic so quickly? A broken file cabinet forced us to purchase a new one. We found one online, ordered it and it arrived quickly with a do it yourself assembly book, complete with 24 part packages and 18 steps of instructions!  As we unpacked the items and compared with the instruction book, we realized a part was missing. Customer service was called, a replacement part was quickly received. Except, the screws did not fit into the holes on the replacement part. We tried again, received another part, same issue.  Meanwhile, the 24 packages of parts are spread out on my living room floor, customer service does not understand my issue, they asked for photos which were sent and now we are again, waiting for a part.  It seems every project faces the inevitable delay. My work place is undergoing a floor remodel. Upheaval, dust, packing, lots of inconvenience and depending on the work crew's schedule dictate the next fe...
