My son forsook his chemical engineering career so he could stay home with Mom & babies. He receives excellent pay at his job that enables him to be home by 1 pm.

God is Holy
Heard this in my spirit often recently. A thought that trumps some lesser than true meanderings.
- God is pure: “Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him.” Proverbs 30:5 (KJV).
- God is truth: “Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of Thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.” Psalms 119:160.
- God is love: “He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” 1 John 4:8, reveals Apostle John.
-
God is holy: “For He that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is His name.” Luke 1:49, prays Mary.
Failed Test?
Myself and a close friend each recently failed our individual tests. Why? Were we ill-prepared, too distracted? Have too many fires burning?
It’s a chance to recalculate our goals and intentions, and move forward in a more confident way.
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV).
“Your word is lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Psalm 119:105 (NKJV).
“The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.” Job 17:9 (KJV).
When He Has Come
“And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
- of sin, because they do not believe in Me;
- of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more;
- of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
“However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.” declares Jesus in John 16:8-11 and 13-14 (NKJV).
“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you”
says Jesus in John 14:26.
He is a Comforter and a Corrector says Pastor Jesse Duplantis.
God’s Recipe
“Restore to me the joy of Your salvation; and uphold me with Your free Spirit.” Psalm 51:12
“Breathe upon these slain, that they may live.” Ezekiel 37:9 (KJV).
Bless You Lord Father, for giving us peace in due season. We look to You and are amazed at Your renewing love.
Fallen Ember Warning
My husband jumped out of the way of a rolling, burning ember when he opened the wood stove door. Are we dodging bullets so to speak or are we aligned with God’s future and will for our lives?
“For God is a consuming fire” Hebrews 12:29.
“Thou He slay me, yet I will trust in Him: but I will maintain mine own ways before Him.” Job 13:15 (KJV).

“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in Thy presence is fullness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” Psalm 16:11 (KJV).
Circuit Breaker Warning
The electricity flow was interrupted on 20 crock pots during the church’s soup fundraiser. No excuse would cover the lack of Holy Spirit flow though or the omission of prayer.
Romans 1:20 (NIV): For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
Matt 22:29 (KJV), “Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.“
Flat Tire Warning
We helped change a couple’s flat tire last Sunday night and were honored to pray with them, also.
Have you ever had a dream of having a puncture like I have? Signifing a draught in the Holy Spirit, a desert of sorts?
Acts 10:43-45 (KJV): “To Him give all the prophets witness, that through His name whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission of sins.
While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
