The Mamas and The Papas~Monday Monday

Beautiful, Amy! What an amazing presentation! Love it!

Ooops ... I forgot to acknowledge Billie for the graphics.

Thank you, Trish.

BTW ... I didn’t thank you for all your hard work on the fundraiser thread. I’m sorry that I couldn’t help much. But ... your dedication was noticed.

Like so many, I wish these things didn’t drag on for 2+ months.

You and Meg are much appreciated.

That pic is how I feel every Sunday evening/Monday morning!

Me Too! :-)

Thank you to Everyone for the Daily Pings.

Nighty-night! Sweet dreams to you! (((hugs)))

Abundant Supply

March 8, 2016

You give them drink from your river of delights.

Psalm 36:8

We have a hummingbird feeder in the garden, and we love to see the little birds come and drink from its sugary water. Recently, however, we went on a short trip and forgot to replenish its contents. When we came back, it was completely dry. Poor birds! I thought. Because of my forgetfulness, they haven't had any nourishment. Then I was reminded that I am not the one who feeds them: God is.

Sometimes we may feel that all of the demands of life have depleted our strength and there is no one to replenish it. But others don't feed our souls: God does.

In Psalm 36 we read about God's lovingkindness. It describes those who put their trust in Him and are abundantly satisfied. God gives them water from His "river of delights" (v. 8). He is the fountain of life!

We can go to God every day for the supply of our needs. As Charles Spurgeon wrote, "The springs of my faith and all my graces; the springs of my life and all my pleasures; the springs of my activity and all its right doings; the springs of my hope, and all its heavenly anticipations, all lie in thee, my Lord."

Let us be filled with His abundant supply. His fountain will never run dry.

Lord, I come to You with the confidence that You will fill me with what I need.

God's love is abundant.

INSIGHT:

David--opposed and persecuted by powerful enemies--wrote of these threats to his life in Psalms 34-36, asking and thanking God for His protection and deliverance. In Psalm 36, David contrasts the wicked and the righteous. The wicked commit evil because they have no fear of God (v. 1). David, however, chose to live differently--he chose to live a life of trust in a merciful, faithful, righteous, and just God (vv. 5-7). David affirms that God will protect and sustain the faithful.

Good morning Meg! I was gone a few days due to our horrible internet provider “Verizon”. We going to tell them “You’re Fired!” soon. Ha Ha. Like Trump says.

LOL...Good to see you here, TCP.

Happy Gratituesday, Everybody!

I am grateful for the crocuses that think it's Spring already!

Let us draw near to God . . . with the full assurance that faith brings.

Hebrews 10:22

Jenny's house is situated on a little country lane, which is often used in rush hour by drivers who want to avoid the nearby main road and traffic lights. A few weeks ago workmen arrived to repair the badly damaged road surface, bringing with them large barriers and "No Entry" signs. "I was really worried at first," said Jenny, "thinking that I would be unable to get my car out until the road work was finished. But then I went to look at the signs more closely and realized that they said 'No Entry: Access for Residents Only.' No detours or barriers for me. I had the right to go in and out whenever I liked because I lived there. I felt very special!"

In the Old Testament, access to God in the tabernacle and the temple was strictly limited. Only the high priest could go in through the curtain and offer sacrifices in the Most Holy Place, and then only once a year (Lev. 16:2-20; Heb. 9:25-26). But at the very moment Jesus died, the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom, showing that the barrier between man and God was destroyed forever (Mark 15:38).

Because of Christ's sacrifice for our sins, all those who love and follow Him can come into His presence at any time. He has given us the right of access.

Lord, thank You for paying such a price to enable me to have unrestricted entry into Your presence!

Access to God's throne is always open.

INSIGHT:

The letter to the Hebrews contains images and ideas that would have been very familiar to the Jewish recipients of this epistle. The Most Holy Place (Heb. 10:19) was the holiest part of the temple in Jerusalem. The curtain (v. 20) refers to the temple veil that was torn in two when Christ died (Matt. 27:51). The great priest (Heb. 10:21) is Jesus, who succeeds in perfectly taking us to God--something that the human priesthood could not do. While this imagery would have been particularly meaningful to the Jewish readers of this letter, it also reminds us how wonderfully the Scriptures are put together. The practices of Old Testament Judaism create wonderful portraits of the person and work of Jesus.

Happy Warm Fuzzy Wednesday
