You see, it’s not Just Me!

You see, it’s not just Me! I’m not the only one who has the experiences that I write about.  A friend of mine wrote me a letter talking about some of his most recent ‘God Moments’ as he calls them.  I thought I would share them with you. He writes, ‘We have season passes to Dollywood and so we spent Tuesday at the park.  We had a few things we wanted to do and got there fairly early, so we…

God’s Assurance

God’s Assurance By Oswald Chambers, June 5, 2017  He Himself has said….So we may boldly say… —Hebrews 13:5-6 My assurance is to be built upon God’s assurance to me. God says, “I will never leave you,” so that then I “may boldly say, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not fear’ ” (Hebrews 13:5-6). In other words, I will not be obsessed with apprehension. This does not mean that I will not be tempted to fear, but I will remember…

The Never-forsaking God

The Never-forsaking God By Oswald Chambers, June 4, 2017  He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” —Hebrews 13:5   What line of thinking do my thoughts take? Do I turn to what God says or to my own fears? Am I simply repeating what God says, or am I learning to truly hear Him and then to respond after I have heard what He says? “For He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor…

Verse of the Day – Acts 1:8 KJV

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:  and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judeaa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

You’re What?

You’re What? A very good friend of mine who usually has a comment about my posts has been strangely silent since my last one.  He and his wife came to visit Cindy and I on our boat yesterday and I found out why.  I was quite surprised when he said that my last Letter from Roscoe left him in a state where he “Just didn’t know what to say.”  A condition that is quite unusual for this man.  (Chuckle, chuckle)…

The Secret of the Lord

“The Secret of the Lord” June 3, 2017 The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him… —Psalm 25:14    What is the sign of a friend? Is it that he tells you his secret sorrows? No, it is that he tells you his secret joys. Many people will confide their secret sorrows to you, but the final mark of intimacy is when they share their secret joys with you. Have we ever let God tell us any…

Verse of the Day – Matthew 6:3-4 KJV

But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:  That thine alms may be in secret:  and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

Are You Obsessed by Something?

Are You Obsessed by Something? By Oswald Chambers – June 2, 2017 Who is the man that fears the Lord? —Psalm 25:12    Are you obsessed by something? You will probably say, “No, by nothing,” but all of us are obsessed by something— usually by ourselves, or, if we are Christians, by our own experience of the Christian life. But the psalmist says that we are to be obsessed by God. The abiding awareness of the Christian life is to be…

Verse of the Day – 1 Corinthians 13:2 KJV

² And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

The Staggering Question

The Staggering Question By Oswald Chambers, June 1, 2017  He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” —Ezekiel 37:3    Can a sinner be turned into a saint? Can a twisted life be made right? There is only one appropriate answer— “O Lord God, You know” (Ezekiel 37:3). Never forge ahead with your religious common sense and say, “Oh, yes, with just a little more Bible reading, devotional time, and prayer, I see how it can be done.”…
