Saturated In God's Word


A Christian who is saturated with the Word is likely to have a calm, wholesome outlook on life; to be kept steady in the path of God's will in neither joy or sorrow, wealth or poverty;  he is likely to be a pleasant companion, not voluble in aimless talk;  and he will not be overly disturbed by world conditions
Elizabeth Elliot's father

She doesn't worry about what is happening in society.  She knows God's Word predicts evil getting worse as the end nears, but she remembers Who is in control and all things work together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purposes.
Romans 8:28

If she loses all her wealth, she knows that God owns the cattle on a thousand hills and promises to provide for her.

If she loses her health, she knows that God loves her, will bring good out of it, and will sustain her on her sickbed.

If evil men advance and cause terror in the land, she knows that sin and evil are always present while we live on this earth but God still reigns.  He will have the final say.

Saturate yourself in God's Word.  Saturate your children in God's Word.  Know the Bible so well that when lies are told, you will not believe them.  Match everything you believe to God's Word.  It is truth.  Believe the many promises He gives to those who love Him.  Rest in Him knowing that He is a good God and is preparing a mansion for us.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be removed,
and though the mountains be carried in the midst of the sea.
Psalms 46:1,2

Thankful for ~

His Word guiding us
His many promises to us
The strength He gives us
He works all things together for good
He loves us

Wow. Here lately this has really been on my mind. Daily doses of political and religious controversy on facebook and a few blogs have caused me much anguish lately. Literally breaking my heart over how far our country and world is straying. While prayer and reading have always been an important part of my day, God has really been impressing upon me to separate myself from the "internet world" and focus more on Him. I think that will likely include my blog, too. Thank you for this, as it was just further confirmation!

Do you read Tammy Nichan's blog, My heart...His Words, Lori? I am so amazed at how God uses wonderful Christian women to speak into my life! A lightning strike took out our internet & I have just found myself fearful lately, especially in thinking about the cross & suffering & self -denial. Long story shortened; God keeps ministering to me giving me exactly what I need to be strengthened! Your blog today is more of the same! Thank you for reminding me we "smile at the future" & believe in God's wonderful promises! Tammy is writing about scars & beauty & a miracle. Beautiful! Love & prayers, in Jesus, Cynthia
Such a great word of God! Thanks for sharing this to us.
This is a very timely post for me -- to be reminded that He is all things and that no matter what happens in this world. Thank you for being so encouraging!
This kind of post reminds me that if my #1 focus is on Jesus then the things that concern me here on this earth are but a vapor anyway and I need to remember this!
What an uplifting post!! I absolutely love Elizabeth Elliot's father's quote. Incredible!!

Thank you for your encouraging words today and congrats on being #1:)))
