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...

Toe Sucking

June 13 If I keep my eyes on God, I won't trip over my own feet. Psalm 25:12 …or allow them to be sucked off by carp!  For as long as I've been on this lake (49 years) we've gone to feed the carp at various marinas.   I have a bag of old bread waiting to be tossed to the carp tomorrow by our grandchildren!   There's a new adventure at a couple of the marinas.  Toe sucking!   For 25 cents you can buy a small scoop of peanut butter to go on your toes. Then the carp suck it off!   I just got a pedicure, so I have an excuse not to participate! What we do need to participate in is keeping our feet on the paths the Lord sets before us. Give careful though to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Proverbs 4:26

Remember Your Story

Our oldest granddaughter made this bouquet and hand painted card for me.💖 Nothing touches our lives that God doesn't allow.  He has a plan and a purpose, sometimes far into the future, that can be used for His glory. (Jeremiah 29:11) Flash back 40 years and I approached life's downs with an "I can't believe this is happening." and truth be told "How can I fix it?" attitude.   Now that I am older and wiser I see that God truly works all things together for good for those who are called according to His purpose.  (Romans 8:28) I thank God for the stroke 8 years ago and how it mellowed me out (okay some of you are laughing, but it really did). And honestly,  I like getting old. Sure, there are regrets, but there is also value in being able to pass along the wisdom learned from those regrets. God CAN use everything for His good. Mentoring moments are what I feel called to at this stage of life.  Working on a talk for a women's retreat weekend, I came ac...
