Jesus, I am Resting

The Wissmann Family are very gifted musicians and singers...this song by their family blessed me, so I thought I'd share it with you! :) 

Blessings!

A Story - Big Picture Faith

Before the Throne of God Above

Before the throne of God above

I have a strong and perfect plea

A great High Priest whose name is love

Who ever lives and pleads for me

My name is graven on His hands

My name is written on His heart

I know that while in heav’n He stands

No tongue can bid me thence depart

No tongue can bid me thence depart

When Satan tempts me to despair

And tells me of the guilt within

Upward I look and see Him there

Who made an end of all my sin

Because the sinless Savior died

My sinful soul is counted free

For God the Just is satisfied

To look on Him and pardon me

To look on Him and pardon me

Behold Him there, the risen Lamb

My perfect, spotless Righteousness

The great unchangeable I AM

The King of glory and of grace

One with Himself, I cannot die

My soul is purchased by His blood

My life is hid with Christ on high

With Christ my Savior and my God

With Christ my Savior and my God

Hello friends! I am so sorry I haven't posted recently...my life has been, well, should we say, busy? :) The Lord is so gracious...He allowed me to qualify for the Nationals in Bible Bee, so from August 29th until October 29th, I am busy memorizing 750 Bible verses and studying the book of Nahum. Hence the reason for my absence ;-) 

I thought I'd share a music video I recently saw...hope it blesses you! :) 

God bless your week! Press on!

A Transformed Heart

Psalm 139 is an amazing example of how God knows everything about us, and the last two verses especially are also a great example of prayers we should pray. In the following video (a short message), the Skit Guys share their thoughts on Psalm 139:23-24.

It’s long (17 minutes) but very good. Letting God into every part of our lives is hard—none of us want to be vulnerable, but that’s what God calls us to be. Different, set apart, following only Him.

“Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”

I pray you’ll be encouraged as we come to the close of another week!

Just Obey—and Step Out (a message snippet by Eric Ludy)

I find the sermons by Eric Ludy encouraging, and since we don’t have a post for today, I thought I’d share this video with you. I hope you’re encouraged as well!

“And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” 1 John 2:3-4

“For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps….” 1 Peter 2:21

May you be encouraged as we come to the end of another week!

Forgiven

Okay, I’m feeling a little out of steam at the moment. But this short video was really encouraging for me, and I hope it is for you as well. Hopefully this can make up for the lack of a Resurrection Day post last week (when we were gone).

Stand strong! God is still working!

Asking the (very) tough questions

I admire the work that Eric and Leslie Ludy have done over the years. Although I don’t believe eye-to-eye on everything with them, I believe they are doing a wonderful work there. And I praise God for the influence they are having on people around the world.

In this short (7 1/2 minute) video, Eric asks some very tough questions. I hope you’ll be able to watch it. This is not the soft, easy-to-hear message many of us have sat under. No, it is very hard. It is something I struggle with on a day-to-day basis. I hope, though, that you’ll be encouraged in the fact that it is possible to ‘take up the cross’ and go ahead following Jesus’ leading.

May you be blessed as you prepare for this new month! It’s amazing how fast time flies—and makes this message even greater in the fact that time is quickly running out.

Many blessings,
Esther

A Song for your Saturday

Today, I thought I’d share a song I enjoy listening to, sung by the Eshes.

He IS God! :) How has He shown you how great He is today?

Live for Eternity...We are called to glorify God!

A very powerful clip from Paul Washer.

"We are not called to build empires! We are not called to be accepted! We are called to glorify God!" 

I Talked To Him Today

 

This is a beautiful song! I’ve heard it many times, and each time it warmed my heart. Jesus is SO good!

Keep shining for Him; you’re a precious jewel in His eyes!

Blessings,
