Keep Your Eyes on the Road - Week of December 30, 2018

Psalm 17:5-6   King James Version (KJV) 5  Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. 6  I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech. Dear Friends, I am amazed at the many lessons the Holy Spirit has taught me while driving to and fro.  Because of my challenges with night time driving I have learned to be even more attentive to His voice.  "Keep your eyes on the road Stephanie."  Wow!  I thought, this is huge.  Of course, the expression may seem cliche in some regards.  However, when the Lord is speaking to you He doesn't speak "cliche!" His voice is clear.  My response to these words of wisdom were, "okay Lord I have my eyes on the road."   Following God's instructions have changed my driving habits.  I'd allowed myself to get distracted by all the lights.  I would sometimes panic when people passed me going 50 mph in a 35 mph zone.   But God was clear: Keep

Glory to God in the Highest - Week of December 23, 2018

Luke 2:1-14   King James Version (KJV) 2  And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. 2  (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 3  And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4  And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 5  To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 6  And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7  And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. 8  And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9  And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory

Troubleshooting... Week of December 16, 2018

2 Corinthians 4:7-9   King James Version (KJV) 7  But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8  We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9  Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Dear Friends, For a couple of weeks I'd been experiencing problems with connecting to the Internet.  Frustrating! The computer or cell phone would connect and then disconnect.  There were some sites I could not access.  I was determined not to be outdone.  Control Panel visits became the daily norm.  I doubted myself. Had I pushed a wrong button or unchecked a box in error. Futile were my efforts to correct the problem.  Finally, I made the necessary call to get help.  The problem could not be resolved over the phone.  Therefore, a technician was scheduled to come out.  In 30 minutes Joel fixed the problem. I needed a new modem box. I simply needed updated equi

His Name Shall Be Called... Week of December 8, 2018

Isaiah 9:6-8   King James Version (KJV) 6  For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7  Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the  Lord  of hosts will perform this. 8  The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel. Dear Friends, His Name shall be called Wonderful His Name shall be called Counsellor His Name shall be called The Mighty God His Name Shall be called The Everlasting Father His Name Shall be called The Prince of Peace His Name shall be called.  Go tell it on the mountain that JESUS CHRIST is born. His Name shall be called. in Christ, Sis. Stephanie

We Have Heard the Joyful Sound! - Week of December 2, 2018

Psalm 89:15-16   King James Version (KJV) 15  Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound : they shall walk, O  Lord , in the light of thy countenance. 16  In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. Dear Friends, The joyful sound is the sweet music of salvation.  It is the sound within the soul of the born again Christian filled with assurance of sins forgiven through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. The joyful sound is the realization of what a profound love, love beyond measure that God bestowed for: God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son... John 3:16 cf The joyful sound is a symphonic melody that rings true throughout the Word of God.  Jesus is Our Everything.  Joyful He is.  Wonderful. Everlasting. The joyful sound is a song of comfort as the Holy Spirit reminds us that we are never alone. No, never alone. The joyful sound is one that Priscilla J. Owens wrote about over one hundred years a
