The last few days I have been in a rotten mood. Instead of casting off that sin, though, I’ve just sat around and stewed in it. You know, like a big, bubbly, sinful hot tub.
Yet, James 4:17 tells us
Thankful Thursday - Protection
By: Amber on: Apr 10,2008 In: UncategorizedToday I am so very thankful for protection and providence in the midst of fear and trembling.
I’d like to share a portion of my favorite scripture passage, Psalm 18. It’s always hard for me to take an excerpt, because I love the whole thing. But the whole thing is rather long.
Enjoy this excerpt and then read the whole thing here. GOD IS GOOD!
Psalm 18: 1-6
I love you, O LORD, my strength.
The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemiesThe cords of death encompassed me;
the torrents of destruction assailed me;
the cords of Sheol entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.In my distress I called upon the LORD;
to my God I cried for help.
From his temple he heard my voice,
and my cry to him reached his ears.

Finding Beauty In God
Finding beauty not in outward adornment, but rather seeking the beauty of the inner self - the unfading and imperishable beauty of a quiet and gentle spirit, a spirit completely in love with Christ. Finding beauty not in acceptance and praise from the world, but instead as a child of the King. Finding beauty not in beautiful things, but discovering beauty in our beautiful God. Finding beauty not in self, but in God's creation and in others. This sort of beauty will never fade, never grow old, never wrinkle and gray. Quite the opposite, this beauty will grow with each passing day, as we grow in our walk with Him.
