Sharon Sharing God: SATURDAY STROLL

SATURDAY STROLL

Welcome to "SATURDAY STROLL!"

In these posts I will be interacting with Scripture – making it a conversational walk of faith.

Sometimes we'll be talking with Jesus, sometimes God will be talking to us.

There might even be *guest appearances* by some of our beloved characters from the Bible!

So put on your walking shoes – you know we can all use the exercise!

It is My privilege to conceal things and My privilege to let you discover them.

O LORD my God, how great You are!

No one can comprehend the height of heaven, the depth of earth, or all that goes on in My mind!

You make the clouds Your chariot - You ride upon the wings of the wind.

I stretch out the starry curtain of the heavens and make the rafters of My home in the rain clouds.

LORD, the earth trembles at Your glance - the mountains smoke at Your touch.

I have placed the world on its foundation so it would never be moved.

LORD, Your faithful love endures forever.

I have set a boundary for the seas, so they will never again cover the earth.

Oh, LORD, thank You for the promise of Your rainbow.

I take care of people and animals and flowers and everything in My creation.

Yes, everything depends on You.

Yes, so here's my request:

Give thanks to Me and proclaim My greatness.

Let the whole world know what I have done.

Sing to me and tell everyone about My wonderful deeds.

Exult in My holy name.

Search for Me and My strength - continually seek Me.

Remember the wonders I have performed.

I will always stand by My covenant.

It is a commitment I made to a thousand generations!

Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!

His faithful love endures forever.

I cannot list all of His glorious miracles.

I can never praise Him enough.

Remember me, LORD, when you show favor to Your people.

Come near and rescue me.

I take pleasure in all that I have made - and that includes YOU!

I will love the LORD as long as I live.

I will praise my God to my last breath!

My glory will continue forever!

(Selections from Genesis 8, Psalms 104-106, and Proverbs 25)

Hi Sharon -

Thank you

Oh how this ministered to me.

It amazes that our Lord ALWAYS knows how to give us precisely what we need when we need it.

Hallelujah to our mountain smoking unshakeable Lord.

The love and care of GOD has no equal - nothing even near...

Amen! I just love how you do this Sharon. I know I've said that before; but it is truly a gift how you can have scripture be alive like this in communication with our Lord!

Blessings Sharon,

Shall I enjoy a late Sat. Stroll or an early Sun. Stroll?

Whichever day I am given the precious opportunity to ease drop on your sweet conversations with Our Lord, I am always blessed!

Glory, hallelujah... His love endures forever!

I love how you entwined a Psalm of LOVE as your responses mingled with Genesis, for Our Creator God and a pinch of Proverbs for ye ole wisdom, Our Wise Counselor!

How great He is and greatly to be praised! Let us EXALT Him forevermore! Hopefully my sweet fragrance will rise up to Him and meet His request this day!

Thanks Sharon... for a lovely stroll!
Good night... and God bless,
(((hugs)))

I'm late to your stroll this week. I love the way you put this one together. It sort of had the feeling of God telling me all the things that I know in my head while I nodded in agreement as He does it.

And then, He says, but it's not enough for you to KNOW it. I want you to do something about that knowledge.

Acknowledge.

MY WORD FOR 2016

GRATEFUL

Grateful: feeling or showing thanks to someone for some helpful act; appreciative of benefits received; warmly or deeply thankful; indebted; beholden.

Word origin: 1550's, "pleasing to the mind," also "full of gratitude," from obsolete adj. grate "agreeable, thankful," from Latin gratus "pleasing" – derived from the same word origin as the word "grace."

The trick to changing your behavior is to become more thankful.

The practice of gratitude involves a focus on the present moment, on appreciating your life as it is today and what has made it so.

Let us begin an eternal quest to express in new and creative ways our thanks to God.

So I'm breathing in Your grace,

And I'm breathing out Your praise.

Let our prayers be the overflow of a grateful heart to God.

Three steps in prayer:

PRAISE – praise, reverence, worship, adoration, and awe for who God is and what He does

ASK – honest, earnest, and intense requests

THANK YOU – always end with thanksgiving for everything

Pulpit commentary:

In everything give thanks.

In every circumstance – in joy and in sorrow; for everything – for prosperity and for adversity; in every place – in the house of God and on the bed of sickness.

Christians should not only be engaged in constant prayer, but in constant thanksgiving.

For this – this thankful spirit – is the will of God, His desire.

God by the gift of his Son has laid us under the obligation of perpetual thanksgiving. Our whole lives ought to be one continued thank-offering for all the blessings of redemption.

Gill's Exposition:

Thanks are to be given to him for all things…

For all temporal good things;

for our beings, the preservation of them;

for food and raiment, and all the mercies of life;

for the means of grace, the word and ordinances, and the ministers of the Gospel;

for spiritual blessings, for electing, redeeming, regenerating, adopting, pardoning, justifying, and persevering grace:

for a meetness for heaven, a right unto it, and a good hope of it;

and especially for Jesus Christ, for such a…Saviour, and advocate with the Father, as he is; and for life, peace, joy, comfort, righteousness, and salvation in him.

Thanks should be given to God in every circumstance of life; in adversity, as Job did; when not in so comfortable and agreeable a frame of soul as to be wished for…even under the temptations of Satan…since the grace of God is sufficient to bear up under them, and deliver out of them.

[Give thanks] in afflictions of every kind, since they are all for good – temporal, or spiritual, or eternal.

WHAT IS LOVE?

Love is when you are missing some of your teeth but you're not afraid to smile because you know your friends will still love you even though some of you is missing.

By Emma K. - Age 6

"Out of the mouth of babes..."

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.

Anonymous

When you are uncertain, it helps to have someone remind you what is true – someone who knows you well, who sees you, and keeps track of you – not just your body but your soul.
