Whatsoever Things



"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." 
    -Philippians 4:8

 Dear Friends,

It was about 2:30 in the morning and I couldn't get back to sleep.  My thoughts started to race over all of the "things" going on in my life.  Worry was like a thought bubble you see in cartoons.  "This is going on that's going on, let me see what should I worry about." Thank God for the Holy Spirit reminding me in a whisper: "Whatsoever."  The power of the Holy spirit is phenomenal.  In an instant worry was replaced with whatsoever.

 Whatsoever things are true

  • God loves me.  God is in control. God does not change.
Whatsoever things are honest
  • God is not a man that He should lie
  • From everlasting to everlasting He is God
Whatsoever things are just
  • For God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son
  • Jesus paid the price for my salvation
Whatsoever things are pure
  • The Word of God is pure. Rest in God's Word
Whatsoever things are lovely
  •  God has made everything beautiful in it's time
  • Thank you Lord for all you have done and continue to do in my life
Whatsoever things are of good report
  • Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning
  • God is Able
  • God is Faithful
The whatsoever things add strength.  The whatsoever things encourage our hope.  The whatsoever things build our faith.  The whatsoever things ignite our joy.

Think on the whatsoever things.

God bless!
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
