Sharon Sharing God: SATURDAY STROLL

SATURDAY STROLL - New Day Coming!

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 with 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!

THERE'S A NEW DAY COMING!

What if God ran for president, and based His campaign on these promises?!

On that day I will make a covenant.

I will remove all weapons of war from the land, all swords and bows, so you can live unafraid in peace and safety.

I will show you righteousness and justice, unfailing love and compassion.

I will be faithful to you and make you mine, and you will finally know me as the LORD.

I will say, "Now you are my people."

And you will reply, "You are our God!"

I know I'd vote for HIM!

(Selections from Hosea 2)

What are the promises of God that give you hope for the future?

I definitely would vote for him (but then I have already voted for him in accepting Jesus as my Lord and Savior!) These are great promises and unlike political candidates who sometimes promise and don't deliver, God ALWAYS keeps his promises, every single one of them!

enjoy the weekend Sharon!

It isn't just the promises.
It's the fact that He keeps them.

I look forward to the New Jerusalem!

Hope the moving is going swimmingly. You know you have to provide pictures for me, right? If you don't post them, I will stomp my foot until I get an email or something. I'm so excited about this.

What lies ahead for the disciple Sharon? It's so exciting to think about.

Hi Sharon.

Yes He has had my vote for many years now. He promises to be with me in the valleys as well as on the mountain tops and He is - Praise His Name.

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.

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.
