The Lord God Brought Us From a Mighty Long Way




"I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.  And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God; any shall see it and fear, and trust in the Lord." - Psalms 49: 1-3

 Dear Friends,

 I love to wash clothes.  So, I wash at least five out of seven days a week.  I remember as a little girl we had an old washer and the clothes had to be pulled through a ringer.  My mother made it look simple but I knew it wasn't.  

 My grandmother and aunt went to the laundromat.  Going with them was like a field trip for me.  All of the big washing machines.  Clothes could be washed and dried in the machines.  I was often allowed to put in the soap powder and I could help fold the clothes.  Joy!  I remember when my Father bought my mother an apartment sized washer and dryer.  My mother was so happy.  By this time we were living in the projects and there was a utility room.  But Daddy bought us our own.  The Lord God  brought us from a mighty long way.

 God picked me up out of filthy dirty clothes. Out of the miry clay He lifted me and set me upon a rock.  God put me in the washing machine and cleaned me up.  He established my goings by putting in "soak mode" to loosen up the dirt and grime.  Glory to God.  The Lord God brought us from a mighty long way.

 The Holy Spirit the Great Stain Remover removes all the grime.  The shed blood of Jesus covers me.  The blood cleanses me.  Talk about good detergent.  The Blood.  Glory to God!  The Lord God brought us from a mighty long way.

 "There is a fountain filled with blood, drawn from Immanuel's veins. And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains.  Lose all their guilty stains;  Lose all their guilty stains; And sinners plunged beneath that flood, lose all their guilty stains."

 The Lord God has brought us from a mighty long way.

 God bless!
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
