"To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory."
Colossians 1:27


"...and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Matthew 28:20


On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!”
John 20:19


Happy Saturday, Friends!  I hope you're taking the devo's advice today by "slowing down your pace of living."  Today is our last devo post from Jesus Calling.  We will start Happy Today beginning Monday.  Are y'all excited?  I am!






Until next time...

Blessings!

(NKJV)



And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty;
    the whole earth is full of his glory.”

Isaiah 6:3




As an artist, I love that there is a biblical standard for beauty.  You won't find much talent and beauty in the art world these days as the industry is full of "conceptual art," and is used for money laundering. 

Friends, I hope you will enjoy God's beautiful world this weekend.


Until next time...

Blessings!

Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
Matthew 22:37




Happy Thursday, Friends!  Today's art day for me.  How about you?

I love the analogy of the anchor in today's devo,  of not being adrift.  

Prayer requests?


Until next time...

Blessings!

You have searched me, Lord,
    and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
    you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
    you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
    you, Lord, know it completely.

Search me, God, and know my heart;
    test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
    and lead me in the way everlasting.

Psalm 139:1-4;  23-24


Happy Wednesday, Friends! I love the AMP version of 1 John 4:18.  God did not create us with a spirit of fear, nor can fear be compatible with God's perfect love.  :D




I haven't heard from many of y'all this week.  If you don't have any prayer requests, do you have any praises?


Until next time...

Blessings!
