All Eyes on Abba

I have been reading humor. I needed something to lighten my mood. I laughed for quite awhile, and it felt good. Relaxation overwhelmed me. It wasn't dirty humor, but good clean fun. Back to Job, who has been waiting, for God to answer Him. His friends declare their opinions and Job feels only pain. Job possesses pain on top of pain for Job, from the loss of his children to the loss of his wealth to the loss of his health. God shows up. He reveals Himself, and He intervenes in their pointless discourse. God speaks in a way that at first Job does not understand, but then he grasps it. God communicates to us as individuals, and He ensures we know what he means! Blessings on you this week!  Remember, Jesus loves you. He bled, died, and rose again so that we could be in Heaven with him. Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, and you will be saved.  Dear Heavenly F...

 Today, I am still reading in Job. It's a long book, after all!  Job is a beautiful collection of Hebrew poetry.  Job is at the point where God can answer him. He has been humbled. He has stopped seeking the affirmation of those around him, and now only seeks God. No one knows what God wants to speak to us, or why God allows things to happen to us. They can only guess, but God knows! Our God is there for us. He supports us. He defends us. He hears us. Job is finally at the point in his trauma where he turns to God. There, and only there, will he find peace, will he find hope, will he find salvation. Next time, we will start with God answering Job! God always answers us, no matter whether we like the answer or not!  Blessings on you this week!  Remember, Jesus loves you. He bled, died, and rose again so that we could be in Heaven with him. Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart t...

I am starting a Bible study with my church ladies on YouVersion. (Thank goodness I am in a state that values religious freedom and re-opened places of worship, plus had a pastor willing to do so!)  We are reading in chronological order. We read the beautiful creation story in Genesis. Now, we are reading through Job. Job's immense suffering, yet trust in God is amazing.  We may suffer, but it is only for a time. We may suffer, but it is only to show unbelievers Christ and share the Gospel.  The world is not lost, but it seems to be trying to be. But in Christ, there is hope in suffering. Blessings, my friends.  Remember, Jesus loves you. He bled, died, and rose again so that we could be in Heaven with him. Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, and you will be saved.  Dear Heavenly Father, I am a sinner. Forgive me for all of my sins. I believe...

Social media probably will be used to target people who believe in Jesus Christ. This will be true believers who are not deceived and follow along with every crazy social ideology that evil people come up with and pass off as "Christian." It is happening here. We are not being killed yet, that is coming and soon, but people's faith have died regardless. That is a much worse death, and when Christ returns for His church and to defeat evil, many people who call themselves Christians - even pastors, worship leaders, and others - will find out they were deceived and be cast aside. God loves everyone. We need to be in the Lamb's book of life to enjoy Heaven with him. Matthew 24, Luke 21, and Mark 13 all describe the leading up to the prophecies Daniel and Revelation foretold. Many people have not even read Matthew, Luke, Mark, Daniel, Revelation, let alone Ezekiel and Isaiah (not even "pastors" and "reverands" and others). Do not let these "fak...

I beheld the rare alignment of Jupiter and Saturn. I watched it rise to disappear. I prepared eggnog white hot chocolate, using a recipe we found on the back of the eggnog container.  We exited our house to star gaze in the cool, neither cold nor hot, evening. We bundled up the littles and took them outside. After all, this is a rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I saw it and for about 20 minutes it was the only light source in the sky, other than the moon, which appeared earlier in the day and stayed suspended there contentedly.  Fullness filled my heart. It hung as the brightest object, even among the other light sources, the stars, other than the moon. To find it, I turned my eyes to the western sky. I was unable to use any app because my phone does not have the correct built in equipment, but I had used someone else's phone earlier in the month to discover where they would be. I observed Jupiter and Saturn drawing closer all month, and tonight they stood side by side an...

  When anxiety starts to creep in: Luke 12:25,26, Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? Colossians 3:15, Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Philippians 4:8, Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. John 14:27, Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. Psalm 23:4, Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 37:25, I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. Psalm 91:2, I will say of t...
