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,

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
