A Reminder from House

Yesterday in school, our Pastor and staff came with exhortation.Thanking God for this today. It so encouraged my heart.  I thank God He led me into some understanding  of His ways early in my life. I established habits that have created a net for more truths to be taken in. But for those who have not yet known to do these things, its not too late.
Jesus is also called the Word. (see John's gospel) The Word is exalted even above His name by God Himself, it says in the scriptures. (Psalm 138:2) To spend time reading it each day is so key to knowing Him, following Him, and changing our minds to think like Him. He brought a Kingdom when He came but if I don't know how it operates, even though I have given my life to Him, I will live outside of the gates all my life bombarded by the enemies of this kingdom with no power to overcome. I have to read It. It has the keys to life, it is the Truth! Its truth is above every other truth. In my early days, I read the Word because someone preached that I should. I diciplined myself and found the more I read it, the more hungry I became. I would play worship while I read it and it became a conversation with God that grew more intimate as the days and years went on. I journaled and prayed in the Spirit as part of this morning time with God. So you might ask, what came of it all? The half is not yet known, but this much I do know. The depths of God are unsearchable. I saw supernatural things as I raised my children, many accidents averted including the death of my husband three different times, as God led me to pray before the events occurred. I had words for the broken hearted, I found wisdom when I needed it. My life was not perfect; I had no idea God was so good and kind, and that He always saw me as righteous. I did not know the whole package that was purchased at the cross. I had no idea of the fullness of the inheritance He purchased for me, but as I came into this house of God, in Redding, where these truths were taught, I had a foundation already in place to which to fasten these truths. So I encourage my readers this morning to go after God and His words early each day and commune with Him, and you will find an increasingly abundant life opening up. It will be like the dawn breaking after the long night and you will never want to go back to anything else as long as you live. Thank you Pastor Bill and staff for your Wisdom and love for us; it is making a difference in eternity!
