Feed On the Word

-
Your Word is very pure, therefore Your servant loves it.
Psalm 119:140

"Read your Bible prayerfully and obey it joyfully."
David Egner

Boo thought: I awakened suffering from the sin of gluttony. Two men, who are house guests here made the most amazing dinner last night and I couldn't stop eating. They topped it off with vanilla ice cream they had bought at our local creamery...Homestead Creamery. Whew, that ice cream was smooth and "PURE" like the verse above speaks of the Word of God...and the people here loved it!

When you fall in love with Jesus and feed upon his Word...you don't want to stop devouring it.
The good thing is...the only morning after affect is "joy" for having been with someone who loves you so much.

Yesterday we did a treasure hunt here, where one clue lead to the next...that is what can happen when you are seeking God's treasure...his Holy Word. Take today's verse and turn to that Psalm...your eyes may fall upon another verse God wants to use to speak to you. Then choose a key word from today's verse. Go with "servant". Look that up in your concordance and let that lead you to more verses. If you Bible doesn't have a concordance go to http://www.biblegateway.com/ and search the word "servant" (or another one if God lays it upon you). It is so much fun you will not want to stop!

Email me some of your verses at boojoyful@aol.com.

Let's pray: Lord you are our treasure. You are more precious than silver, Lord you are more costly than gold, Lord you are more beautiful than diamonds and nothing we desire compares with You. Speak to us today through Your Word. In Jesus Name, Amen

PS. I am too tired to proof this, so let me know if there are typos. Thanks for helping.

She Fought the Good Fight

February 27 Bible Gateway's verse yesterday was: This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him . 1 John 4:9 A fitting verse for the day my everyday friend, soul sister, monster of the faith and mischievous partner in crime, Kaye, left this world behind and headed to her heavenly home. My husband was able to be by her bedside and said he knew she heard the words of our faith that he shared. Her sweet daughter held the phone up to her ear so I could say good-bye and the brightest single star you have ever seen shown through my bedroom window as she exited this earth! Yesterday, my heart literally ached so badly that I told the Lord, "Take me too!" Wouldn't she have been surprised if I had snuck up on her in heaven and said, "Thought you were going somewhere without me, did ya." When we received the call she was ready to go, I called out to the Lord for comfort and He led me to the Bible Gat

Marriage Matters #1

One of life's deepest hurts is when the one you love is unfaithful. Forty years ago, I remember an older friend, whose wife had been unfaithful and left him for another man saying to me..."Boo, I hope you never experience having the person you love and are married to, living 8 blocks away loving someone else." Deep hurt. They divorced. The wife of another friend of ours was having an affair with a fellow church member and a neighbor of theirs who lived 5 blocks away. She moved in with this man and our friend said one evening he was walking by the house where they were living together and saw them sitting at a table having a candlelight dinner. Ugh. The torment. I've always said it would be aweful to find out the person you were married to and  loved deeply loved another.  Hmm. We are the bride of Christ.  Is He our first love? 2 Peter 2:14 says: They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed

Are You Sinking... Being Tossed About?

  A text came in from our neighbor recently, on a cold blustery day, when I was home with a stomach bug and awful headache. He said, "My canoe blew off our dock and has floated over to your shore."  And I'm thinking..."And you want me to do what?" I explained my husband was at work, but could help in the afternoon. I went to the window and could see the boat being tossed back and forth along our shore line. One minute it was close to our main dock and the next the winds had shifted and it was 200 feet in the opposite direction.  What I then realized is it had been taking on water. A text came again that he was in his car and driving around to our property.  Climbing out of my night shirt, I put on warm ups, UGGS boots and a hooded coat and limped outside to see how I could help. When I arrived to the shore line, the neighbor had tossed a 3 prong hook tied to a rope into the boat and was pulling it to the shore with one hand.  He had recently had hand surgery and
