He Will Answer




"Moreover the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,Thus saith the Lord the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name; Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not."   - Jeremiah 33:1-3

Dear Friends,

Jeremiah was imprisoned and the word of the Lord brought comfort to him. The Lord identifies Himself: He is:  the maker thereof, He is: the Lord that formed it to establish it.  He gave assurance to the prophet that He was with him although Jeremiah was bound. Yet the God's word is not bound. No circumstance can hinder God's Word.
II Timothy 2:9 tell us:  "Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound."
The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah speaks to us today.  When we are bound by circumstances or feel boxed in with no way out, God's Word has no limits.  He will show us the way to go if we seek him.
Hear the words today: "Call unto me and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not."
God wants us to call Him, seek Him and He assures us that He will answer. Great and mighty things! Every response from God is great for greatness is the character of God.  Every Word spoken by the Lord is mighty for Mighty is God.   He can shed understanding on that which seems so complicated. He can and does issue responses to some of our "calls" in ways that cannot be humanly explained.
Wherever you find yourself today, call on the Lord.  He will answer.
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie

The Journey Here

  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. - Psalms 23:4 The journey here...that is really something to think about.  Where we are in life as compared to where we had hoped to be.  Paths chosen while other were forgotten or neglected.  Decisions.  Times of indecisiveness. There were times we crawled. Too weary to walk.  We ran. We were too impatient to wait.   The journey.  Here.  That is really something to think about. For me the most difficult and sometimes debilitating aspect of the journey, has been walking through the valley of the shadow of death.  Tempted to fear due to memories of time I could have spent, conversations I should have had, hugs I wish I had given.  This type of fearful fretting is not of God.  I have learned; I am learning that if I truly believe, He is with me.  If I surely stand on His promi...

If We Live

  For  that  ye ought to say, If the Lord  will ,  we  shall live, and  do   this ,  or   that .                                                   - James 4:15 If I live to see tomorrow... I remember hearing adults say this when I was a child.  Tomorrow seemed to be some miraculous day.  Big things were going to happen.  Something special was in store.  I began to think and say aloud: I can't wait until tomorrow. I did not realize that the biggest factor in "tomorrow" was if the Lord willed us to live to see it.  Everything, each and every day rested in the will of God.  So, what about today? How about some reframing.  "The Lord has blessed me with today. He allowed me this day."  How about doing something in the now. Procrastination is a thief.  It is a threat to hope....

I Remember

"When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.  Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice." - Psalms 63:6-7 Dear Friends, "My sister and me used to have bunk beds.  This reminds of me of that. Do you remember Stephanie? It's like we are having a pajama party." I remember. I sat with my sister in her Hospice room and I remembered.  Bunk beds that we sometimes had stacked and at other times they were laid side by side, like twin beds.  I remember that we are not in our room of long ago. Unless the Lord says otherwise when this "party" is over my sister will be with the Lord and I will return to my earthly home.  I remember. God was a Mighty Fortress during those days.  In a place where people go to comfortably die, the Lord was teaching a lesson on how to live.  Praise and worship was the norm.  My sister the angelic soprano sang.  Family came in the room and for...
