Great Is Our Lord, and of Great Power

Psalm 147:3-5 King James Version (KJV)

3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.

5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.


"Jesus knows all about our struggles.  He will guide till the day is done.  There's not a friend like the lowly Jesus.  No, not one. No, not one."

Our Lord is a healer.  He binds broken wounds.  He counts the stars in the sky. He calls them by their name.  And just as the Lord counts the stars, he knows each one of us.  He knows and understands our strengths and our struggles.  Our going out and coming in, God knows.  As the songwriter penned: "He knows my name."

It is good to know that there is One who understands us.  Creator God is familiar with the intricate details of our being and our lives.  My grandmother used to say: He made us and He knows all about us."

Powerful is Our Lord.  God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. - Psalm 62:11  Power.  All power belongs to God.  Hold onto to this knowledge when you cannot see your way.  Great is Our Lord and of Great Power.  No man can override the power of God.  While people can ignore God's power, they cannot dismiss it.  Great is Our Lord and of Great Power.

Lord it is unto you that we come with our questions knowing that we can trust You with the solutions.  We acknowledge that You are Great and You have all power.  Thank you for being God Alone.

God bless!

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...
