100 Days of Change

God's Word holds significant place in the life of God's people. God told Joshua " ...don't for a minute let this Book of Revelation be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you'll get where you're going; then you'll succeed." Joshua 1:8 Message
The psalmist says...My delight is in the law of the Lord and on His law I meditate day and night. I am like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and its leaves do not whither. What ever I do prospers (paraphrase Psalm 1:2-3)

God's word is the stream of living water/God is the place from which it flows, the originator and the source...God's word is audible to all that is, for it was created through His spoken word.

Self-awareness is one of the keys for change and growth and when I like the psalmist ponder the direction of my life...I turn my feet to God's word. Self-awareness, recognizing who God is and who we are, leads to self-surrender which is necessary to experience the forgiveness of God that in turn transforms and empowers us with the Holy Spirit, a gift received through the abundant mercy and grace of God. God's Spirit continually cleanses, refreshes, renews, transforms, and empowers us...by staying in God's word (seeking more God), We are in a continual state of self-surrender inviting the Holy Spirit to permeate every fiber of our being that we become all that God desires.

We must be the change we hope to see in the world!

Happy New Year

The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Love of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you...

In your service may I never tire of seeking you...may I be self-aware, experience forgiveness and live a life in dedication to the gospel of Jesus Christ...may I have eyes to see, ears to hear, a heart to respond trusting in Your faithfulness thereby being fully able to live into self-surrender...Thy Will Be Done! May my all be in and also know God's peace in the balancing act of immediacy and the eternal filtered through a gospel lens that allows me to know the difference. Remembering always that God's reign is founded upon principles of righteousness and justice...to know that my witness is a testimony to God's steadfast love and faithfulness...God does not break His promises! Sing with me Psalm 103 ...Amen
