Word Filled Wednesday–Christmas Faith

WFWlogo

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.  I John 5:4

Christmas is a perfect season to be reminded that our God is able to do the impossible. When we remember Mary, a young girl who believed what God told her – that she would be the mother of the Messiah.  We remember the shepherds – just ordinary men who believed and followed the leading of the Lord to be the first to behold the newborn King.

These examples defy human understanding, but leave us standing in amazement at the plan of our Heavenly Father.  Before we knew Him, He loved us and had a plan to take us as sinful people and cleanse, renew bring us to Him. He is able to bring His will in whatever way He chooses to bring about His will in our lives.  What a powerful and loving God we serve!

May this Christmas season bring us to remembrance that He is able and we can put our trust and faith in Him.

  1. I haven't in awhile, but a lot of times in the past I would pray Jeremiah 32:27 which basically says (paraphased) that God is the God of all mankind and there is nothing impossible for him. I think it is so awesome the plan he had to save us with sending his son Jesus and the sacrifice of love Jesus did for us. I think we need to concentrate on that during the hectic holiday season and again truly remember the wonderful Reason for this season!

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.
