Coming clean....

Coming clean.....


Psalm 115:1 Not to us, Lord, not to us
    but to your name be the glory,
    because of your love and faithfulness.

I have to say that I love the accolades for writing each morning......

But each morning, I usually have no idea what will be written...as I am doing a Bible study or watching on a walk or something triggers a word or thought, God puts each one together.

I have read through the BIBle several times, logically, sequentially, in order, waiting for something to jump out at me as "this is what I want you to dwell on today". A word, or an idea...  Or done Bible studies that are guided through books, with others as authors....or worked on studies which I or another person would teach.....but...not waking up up each morning and saying , "God , what is the idea or the words for today?"....

He is the author, the idea planter, the Word giver....there are some days that that isn't true..though.  I want to expound on a word or thought and I do, not giving Him the glory that He deserves....

The iPad has made this working so much easier.....I can go back and forth from the notes to the Bible, blocking, copying into the notes the verses that are appropriate, other notes all while sitting in bed, not surrounded by the giant concordance, Bible encyclopedias, commentaries, dictionaries that I used to use ...convenience.... They are all inside this little iPad..

But even that is God's timing,  isn't it???  We had to go through the big books even to learn what is out there and available to totally enjoy the resources available quickly now....

But, I want to be clear, this writing started because of God, not me....He has the ideas...it is is His word...that pierces the soul...teaches...examines hidden places...his faithfulness...
I don't know how long this will last and I actually get fearful at times that It will stop...I totally enjoy working like this,,,but it is not my call...


Thank you, God, for the opportunity to be an instrument...in whatever is done....and that all will be done in Your name....

Psalm 77:11-13 (New International Version)

11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
    yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
12 I will consider all your works
    and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”

13 Your ways, God, are holy.
    What god is as great as our God?

• Songwriters: Jonathan Lee, Jennie Riddle

When the stars burn down and the earth wears out
And we stand before the throne
With the witnesses who have gone before
We will rise and all applaud

Singing blessing and honor, glory and power
Forever to our God
Singing blessing and honor, glory and power
Forever to our God

When the hands of time wind fully down
And the earth is rolled up like a scroll
The trumpets will call and the world will fall
To its knees as we all go home

Singing blessing and honor, glory and power
Forever to our God
Singing blessing and honor, glory and power
Forever to our God
Singing blessing and honor, glory and power
Forever to our God

Star of the morning, light of salvation
Majesty
God of all mysteries, Lord of the universe
Righteous King

Star of the morning, light of salvation
Majesty
God of all mysteries, Lord of the universe
Righteous King

There will come a day standing face to face
In a moment, we will be like Him
He will wipe our eyes dry, take us up to His side
And forever we will be His

Singing blessing and honor, glory and power
Forever to our God
Singing blessing and honor, glory and power
Forever to our God

Singing blessing and honor, glory and power
Forever to our God
Singing blessing and honor, glory and power
Forever to our God
To our God, to our God
