The B.I.B.L.E. Yes, That's The Book For Me

"The B.I.B.L.E. Yes, That's The Book For Me" 

Yesterday morning, while at the breakfast table, our 6-year-old grandson began quoting scripture he had memorized a while back: “…these that have turned the world upside down are come here also.” I and his grandpa stopped eating and looked at him and I asked where it was from and he said “Acts 17:6”. That spoke so much to his grandpa’s heart that he used that scripture as the basis of his message for Sunday night. It tickled me to no end because I make a point of working with him on memorizing scripture. It’s so important to memorize scripture verses. It’s through His Word we can find comfort and strength and it helps us to grow in faith. It helps us to be able to discern the Voice of Truth against this loud, chaotic, pressuring world. This past Sunday, we gathered back into our individual classes and the first thing I did with my class is implement a bible memory verse plan. Each week they will be given the memory verse for the following Sunday to study and memorize all week long.  Sometimes it will work out, sometimes it won’t. But at least we will try. 

God’s Word tells us to memorize His Words, to let His Word fill our hearts and souls to the extent we hunger for His Word, to Thirst for His Word. His Word should become our daily nutrition every single day of our lives.  When we memorize scripture, The Holy Spirit will recall the perfect verse over our hearts. We can turn our world upside down and right side up, just by sharing The Word of God. 

“And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou risest up.” – Deuteronomy 6:6-7

Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!

   Scripture For The Day  December 19, 2023 Luke 19 part 1 "Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!"  And Jesus passed through Jericho. Jericho had a lot of history, even at that time. It was a major trading center and there was a wealthy tax collector named Zaccheus who lived and worked there. He heard about Jesus and decided to see for himself. But he was a short man and there were a lot of people traveling with Jesus and a huge crowd lining the street waiting to see Jesus pass by. Less than 15 miles away, Jesus had just raised Lazarus from the dead. He was a rockstar. So, Zaccheus ran up ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Jesus. As soon as Jesus got to the tree, He looked up and said “Zaccheus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.” I bet y’all are singing the song right now…I was. 😊 The crowd began to murmur. How could Jesus eat with a sinner like this dishonest tax collector? Zaccheus was so overwhelmed with the love of Jesus that he

He Restores My Soul

Scripture For The Day    November 14, 2023 "He Restores My Soul"  Psalm 23- Most of us know this beloved Psalm. The LORD is our Shepherd and we who believe are His Sheep. However in recent years, the label of ‘sheep’ has become a derogatory term. I don’t care. I am so very thankful that I am part of His flock. So, Baa Baa baby. Call me a sheep. I know that I matter to Him just as much as the other sheep in His flock. No more, no less. In His Word, His people are never described as lions. But as meek and dependent sheep that depend upon a Shepherd. I’ll take that any day. Because it’s The Truth. I learned this passage when I was a little girl. But no one took the time to teach me what it meant. So, I was always confused by the first verse” “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Why? I would ask The LORD? Why can’t I ‘want’ You? I Love You and I do ‘want’ You to be with me. It wasn’t until I was much older and studying on my own that I discovered the word ‘want” meant

Aijeleth Shahar

  Scripture For The Day  November 13 th , 2023 "Aijeleth Shahar"  Psalm 22 has David assigning this song to the director of the corporate worship stating it is to be sung or chanted by “Aijeleth Shahar” translated means by the hind of the dawn or “The Deer of The Dawn”. Made me think of how sometimes there are little songs for kids to learn and they often use the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” for them to learn them better. Psalm 22 is a cry of anguish and as per usual a song of Praise. And by the very first verse, we can read words that Jesus Christ, Himself, spoke on The Cross. Jesus often quoted scriptures.  “My God, My God, why hast Thou Forsaken Me? (why art thou so) far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?” You have no idea how deeply this verse spoke to me today. I woke up early this morning thinking of the word Forsake. So, as I type I am asking The LORD, “What are you bringing to my heart today?” to forsake means to abandon or turn against. Mak
