God Specializes




2 Peter 1:2-4King James Version (KJV)

2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Dear Friends,

The first day of a new month.  February 1, 2017 a time of new beginnings.  In the newness of the day that we are blessed to see we are greeted by the mercies of the Everlasting God. He is changeless in His character and constant in His faithfulness.
 Seasons change.  According to our calendar this happens in increments.  We have moved from January to February. In our part of the country/world it is still winter.  We live and move through each season of life by the grace of God.

Peter opens his letter with greetings or wishes for  multiplied grace and peace. This is God's will for us. We can have this increase though the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the faithful application of His word to our lives.

The Lord has given us everything we need to make it through each season of life equipped to meet the challenges life presents and to grow closer to him in the process.

God specializes in the "all of life" for He is Lord of ALL.

I am reminded of a song from childhood that my Aunt led in the choir, God Specializes.  I can still hear the sound of her voice and the conviction with which she sang the song.

May the words (verses) penned by Gloria Griffin and recorded by numerous artists encourage you today:

 Have you any rivers that seem uncrossable? And have you any mountain that you cannot tunnel through? God specializes in things thought impossible And He will do what no other no other power - Holy Ghost power can do.

  Have you ever been on your bed of affliction. And the doctors have done all they could do. But you heard somebody say, God specializes in healing all kinds of diseases. And He will do what no other doctor, no other physician can do.

 God specializes.

 in Christ,

 Sis. Stephanie

SHIFT KEY

  1 Corinthians 13:12 “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”  It all depends on how you look at it. What’s your focus? Is the picture clear or blurry? Do you need to crop the photo for a better view? A little shift in focus can be key.  Shifting the way you look at things can make a big difference.  I am looking at the shift key on my keyboard. I have options. Lower case or uppercase. Numerical or special characters. Failure to shift correctly can cause denied access because my password is not recognized. Shift is key. Some things can be better understood if we take the time to change our focus.  Zoom in on what really matters.  Stop looking at things that appear  insurmountable. Instead shift your focus. Look at God. The view is breathtaking when I look up. I see Jesus. He sees me. I am shifting my focus. Eyes lifted up. I see where my help comes from. My help comes from the Lord. The Lord who

Through the Eyes of Faith ...By Grace

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of work, lest anyone should boast.   - Ephesians 2:8-9  “Amazing grace shall always be my song of praise for it was grace that bought my liberty. I don’t know why He chose to love me so. He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs.”  So much has happened since the last time I “saw” you. The changing circumstances of the journey have been stabilized by an Unchanging God.   Journey on my sisters and brothers. Bask in the knowledge that unfailing mercy and sufficient grace surround you.   Grace makes new beginnings possible. We can begin again. The time is now. The choice? It’s yours. Yours for the asking.  Through the eyes of faith…we see Jesus.  God bless! In Christ,  Sis. Stephanie
