Today I am typing notes for our good pastor, and I quote, "I can’t say it enough—you must saturate your soul in God’s Word. It will strengthen you, it will give you wisdom, and it will show you how to know the Lord. It will show you how to have your sins forgiven. It will show you how to know you are going to Heaven when you die. The Word of God will show you how to have a good marriage, a good home, and how to raise your children. It will show you how to serve God."

This is all so simple, yet so profoundly true! God's Word, when applied properly (with a good and honest heart) and regularly (every single day!) will do everything promised in the above quoted text. I invite you to take a peek into my family life and see if it's not true. God has blessed me, He has given me instruction, He has corrected me, and He has made me glad! Oh, so very, very glad...

Thanks for reading!

Mary, what a wonderful post! That's the very truth! We can never have too much encouragement to move toward God and live according to his will for us. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving...

Maggie Ann! How wonderful to find you here again - I also wish for you and your family a wonderful time of thanksgiving on that most blessed of holidays called, "Thanksgiving." Indeed, the Lord is more than worthy of our most heartfelt gratitude and devotion.
