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!

  5. 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.

  7. 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!

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

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some

A Blank Page - A Great Way to Fill It

A blank page - that is the first view of a new blog post. It has been a while since I have faced the blank page of my little blog! A blank page can bring a variety of emotions - emptiness, anxiety, pressure to perform or emotions such as inspiration, encouragement or simply bursting to share something. But there is always something fresh and exciting about the blank page of a New Year. Happy 2023! This is always a time in my life where inspiration and plans are formed and ready to be implemented for greater change. Aspirations may start strong, but alone do not make a difference. It takes consistency to create change. The changing or adding small habits is a key to great changes. A habit that has been beneficial in my life for many years is rising early. It began when the children were small and was the only pocket of time I had to myself. Through the years, mornings have become my favorite time of the day. Now that my husband and I are empty nesters, we go to bed early and rise early.
