PLACE HOLDER

 

Zechariah 10:6

“And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them.”


Vacant houses.

  Some abandoned.

Who used to live there?

What was their story?

Where are they now?

What about the eyes that once looked out the now boarded up windows?


There is a story behind every dwelling.

Place holders.

Songs sung within the walls.

Prayers prayed.

Meals cooked and meals missed.

Dreams launched and those deferred.

Receipts for bills paid.

Notices for those unpaid.


Always a story.


In our physical dwelling…

The scripture tells us that 

“…We spend our life as a tale that is told”

 - Psalms 90:9b


What’s your story?

What tale is your life telling?

What legacy is being built?


These are the questions I ask myself today.


Let my habitation be in God.

May I forever dwell in His presence.

 He has been our dwelling place.

From generation to generation 

He is God.


Jesus Christ our Place Holder.

He holds our prayers.

He keeps His promises.

He cares about our struggles.

He lifts our heads.

He lightens our load.

He carries our burdens.


Place Holder.

Confidant.

All in All.


Shepherd.

Guide.

Friend.

Savior.

Lord.


Place Holder.

Jesus.


God bless✨ 

In Christ,

Help…My Help

  Psalms 46:1   “God  is our  refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Help.  God is my Help. Always present…in trouble and in triumph.  Help. God is my Help.  I lift up my eyes knowing my help comes from the Lord.  All my help.  Every need supplied. He is My Support. He is The Solution. My Benefactor. Ever providing. Always nourishing. Constantly replenishing. Help. God is My Help. God bless. In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

THE WHAT AND THE SOEVER

  Philippians 4:8 “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.” The truth is Jesus. Honestly. This is a fact. Scripture declares Him to be. The Way, the Truth, the Life. His ways are holy and just. His Word is pure. He is altogether lovely. Focusing on the whatsoever things is to abide in the peace of God. Thoughts centered on bountiful blessings. Determined to dwell on the goodness of God rather than the constant chaos perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The What is also the Who.  He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. Matchless in power and might. He is the Faithful and True. He holds the balance in His Hands. God weighs the intent of the heart. True Hones...

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...
