Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 
He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.
I Thessalonians 5:23-24

 A power-packed verse such as this gives me the hope and encouragment to continue on in the Christian walk.  So many times, my attitude, motives, speech and actions are not what I would like them to be.  This verse is a reminder that God is my Sanctifier, He can santify (set apart and make holy) my whole spirit, soul and body and keep them pure until the day when He returns.  The last line of this verse is awesome "He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it".  What a promise and blessing!

    He who called is faithful - how often we forget that when things do not go our way. When it seems we are not accomplishing that which He has called us to do, this verse we NEED! "He who called is faithful". Without Him we can do nothing.

    Blessings,

    Wanted to stop back by and say thank you for your comment on my post today. I certainly did not want to misunderstood in any way..and it seems you really understood my point - and my heart.

    I didn't want to make the post too terrribly long but I had thought of adding how important organization - that helps improve time management - is to helping us with calm....but I totally agree with you. Maybe another time:)

    Thanks again - always nice to have encouragment. Have a great Wednesday! Jennifer

    I see many have alreasy stated this but the line, "He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it" is so moving and lets us KNOW that His promises are real, that He is the truth, the light and the way. For this I am thankful!

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...

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...

Word-Filled Wednesday

I love participating in Word Filled Wednesday . This is hosted over at 160 acrewoods and is designed to share God's Word with verse and picture. Go over and take a peek - you will be blessed! The verse I chose for today is one of my favorite verses. A while back during an intense trial of watching a loved one struggle with addiction - ready to lose everything over the addiction, I read this verse and it spoke to my heart clearly. Without God - there is no hope, the things of this world will leave you empty and void. Chasing after the things of the world is like chasing the wind, you just can't grasp it. But in God there is hope. Even though the trial may be tough and challenging, God is hope and He will fill you with peace and joy as you believe in Him and you will abound in hope. May your day be blessed and filled with HOPE!
