New Seasons

 Originally posted October 17, 2024     "And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season ; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." Psalm 1:3 It's that time of year again, the changing of the seasons. We live in the Midwest, so we get a little of every state's weather. This past summer was extremely hot and humid. At one point our grass was so dry I was concerned that it would never come back again. But after several days of rain recently, it has greened up and my husband actually had to mow- something that was only done about 3 times the entire summer.  I love the changes in the seasons- and my favorite is fall. I think of fall as my taking assessment of my life time. Probably comes from those school days way back when- we always started the day after Labor Day and it was time of regrouping, meeting up with old friends and learning something new in my new grade. I guess I still h...

Zarephath- A Season of Refining.

-
Image
  I haven't written anything in the past several months. As I was looking back over past posts, I came across this one. It goes along with what I have been going through lately. ( I may write more on that later)- but I thought that there are many who are going through seasons of refining, testing, purging. I hope this is an encouragement to you. Know that God is with you (even when He doesn't seem to be.) I have been reminded a lot lately that we walk by faith and not by sight or feelings It is our faith that is being tested. Be blessed as you read through this blog post. May your Zarephath season be one of renewed commitment to Jesus Christ, an enriched relationship with Him and may you come out of your season with joy, a new song in your heart, a new testimony and a strengthened faith. God bless. Donna  Originally posted October 29, 2024   "Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. See, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you." ...

God’s Splender

  "God’s splendor is a tale that is told, written in the stars. Space itself speaks his story through the marvels of the heavens. His truth is on tour in the starry vault of the sky, showing his skill in creation’s craftsmanship. Each day gushes out its message to the next, night by night whispering its knowledge to all—without a sound, without a word, without a voice being heard, yet all the world can hear its echo. Everywhere its message goes out. What a heavenly home God has set for the sun, shining in the super dome of the sky! See how he leaves his celestial chamber each morning, radiant as a bridegroom ready for his wedding, like a day-breaking champion eager to run his course. He rises on one horizon, completing his circuit on the other, warming lives and lands with his heat."   Psalm 19:1-6 (TPT)      I love spending time in nature, watching the birds and butterflies and bees, the zany squirrels, seeing my flowers blo...

Choose the Most Excellent Way"

    "I continue to pray for your love to grow and increase beyond measure, bringing you into the rich revelation of spiritual insight in all things. This will enable you to choose the most excellent way of all-becoming pure and without offense until the unveiling of Christ. And you will be filled completely with the fruits of righteousness that are found in Jesus, the Anointed One-bringing great praise and glory to God."   Philippians 1:9-11 (TPT)    Choose the most excellent way of all. I posted a short version of this on Facebook a while ago, but I wanted to dive a little deeper. There are many choices that one must make during the day. With some of them, we find out later it wasn't an excellent or even a good choice. We regret what we did. Many times there is no taking it back- especially if it was something we said to someone or the way we reacted to something or someone. The only recourse then is to repent to God and the person and try to do better the...
