Hi Everyone! I’m reporting from the mountains! Let me tell ya, I was shocked when I walked outside and was met with 46 degree weather. It was almost like spring up here yesterday. Brrrrr. Of course, that isn’t why I’m writing. Now that the small talk is behind us (ha), I’ll get to my purpose in interrupting your day.
My Boaz has been watching the WWII special that has been playing on the History Channel this week. I’ve been catching bits and pieces while I’ve taken care of other things around the home. I saw more of it last night than previous nights and I wanted to cry. God bless those precious men and women who fought against those who destroyed the lives of so many Jewish people (and others they deemed impure). God have mercy. I can hardy stand the images as they are fresh in my mind. I also felt pity for the civilians who were killed — those who were caught in the middle. War is horrible, but it is a part of life. God told us it would be.
Anyway — to my point. As these beautifully decorated soldiers were recognized and their stories were told, I began to wonder what type of legacy I’d leave behind. Immediately my mind jumped to the new term “carbon footprint” that is associated with GREEN living. As rabbit trails go, my mind thought of a fingerprint. What fingerprints am I leaving behind? How has my life touched others? What am I doing to make a difference?
This morning as I prayed, I cried out to God about past dreams that have sort of taken the “back burner” – reminding the Alpha and Omega (as IF He would ever forget). As I started reading the bible, I came upon this scripture in the Life Application translation.
Psalm 96:2-3 declares, “Sing out His praises! Bless His Name. Each
day tell someone that He saves. Publish His glorious acts throughout the
earth. Tell everyone about the amazing things He does.”
You could have knocked me over with a feather! PUBLISH HIS GLORIOUS ACTS THROUGHOUT THE EARTH. TELL EVERYONE ABOUT THE AMAZING THINGS HE DOES!
I’m sure you know how it is to read something and know that God is speaking to you, right? I have never noticed this scripture before. I leave this bible up here in the mountains and don’t have this translation at home.
If there is one thing I can do is SHARE what God has done, is doing, and promises to do in my life! I can gab … that’s for sure. I know that in His timing, publishing will come.
I am telling all of you: HE SAVES! His blood is enough! Nothing else is needed to cover your sins. Ask Jesus to come into your heart, to forgive your sins, and to change you from the inside out. He can and He will.
I pray everyone is having a great Friday!
Such powerful truth, bless you sis. I love you.
Yes, I KNOW what it is like for God to speak directly to me from Scripture, and that was definitely a word from God's heart directly to yours!
Blessings!
My hubby was watching WW2 last night too…We were just talking how the leaders always prayed and always acknowledged God…Don't see that much now. Sad…
Powerful Word He showed you…He wants all of us to be saved…Sad when people remain deaf and blind. But may the Lord bring many here today and hear this powerful message from Him. Glory to God! Enjoy your time up there in the mountains. God bless sister and have a great weekend!
Amen…his blood covers us who have decided to follow HIM! Isn't it amazing that He gives us little wisdoms of truth a little at a time…just to loving let us know…He's there and He cares. I love that. Have a great weekend and enjoy the mountains…I wouldn't mind some cold weather…that way I could make a fire…count your blessings…even if they're cold ones.
OK…Nathan didn't make that last comment…that would be his mother…Lorrie. Someone has given themselves a gmail account! My little Moses/Peter is up to all sorts of new and interesting things I must keep up with. Prayfully one day he'll think the same things about our Savior…God only has children…no grandchildren folks. Blessings!
Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth; Publish his salvation from day to day. 1 Chron 16: 23.
Preach it sister!
And I'm going to put out the names of Matt and Nathan who need Jesus. A quick prayer for their salvation if you are led to, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the great post.
Amen!!!!!!!!!!
don't you love it when He speaks to you through His Word? yay!!
Beth, you ARE publishing! Bless you 🙂
I agree with Nicole! You are publishing!!!!!
Beth, this was simply heart warming, thank you. Blessings.
AWESOME – I have never read this verse in that translation before either.. PUBLISH! Ah, that spoke to me instantly… another reason why I write, why I blog and why I will write those devotional handbooks and distribute them for free by God's power and grace… Another reason why I have to wake up every morning or sleep late, just to PUBLISH and tell everyone that there is ONLY ONE WAY and that is through JESUS CHRIST! WOOOHO..! You got me started now.
Have a wonderful and fulfiling week telling everyone about our most beautiful and awesome master and saviour – He rocks!
Much love x
