We All "Got" Faults

"Confess your faults one to another, and pray for one another that ye may be healed.  The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." James 5:16 kjv

My grandmother often said to me, "Steph, we all got faults."  I would get so frustrated when folks weren't stepping up to the plate like I thought they should.  Grama was a wise woman.  She knew I was not always "stepping correctly".  She had a way of setting one straight with her own infamous quotes.  It took me a long time to understand she was letting me know that I wasn't perfect.  Hence, we all got faults.

Sometimes, we confess our faults to others by our actions.  Today, I sent out the morning scriptures. I put Faithful Friday in the message.  Well today is THURSDAY!  Now there were those who I believe prayed for me right then. "Lord please help her.  She doesn't know what day it is."  Thank you, Jesus, for answered prayer.  Was the fault moving too fast?  Was it sending out a partly incorrect text announcing the wrong day? Whatever the case, the Holy Spirit gave me this: Don't try to use Friday's grace on Thursday.

One of my favorite songs is, "He Looked Beyond My Faults." He, the Lord God looked beyond my faults and saw my needs.  Faultless God is always Faithful.  Faithful God is always merciful. Merciful God is always compassionate.  Compassionate God is All in All.

Yes. We all got faults.  Thank you, Lord, for loving us in spite of. 

Thank you for this day. This Thursday.

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
