Inspired by . . . Confident in Our Hope

Praise the Lord, O my soul!

While I live I will praise the Lord;

I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. 

(Psalm 146)

*****

We all know the saying, "Hindsight is 20/20." Looking back, it's easy to see the path we should have taken, choices we should have made, and how God worked it all out for us.

It makes sense then, that our gratitude is often in hindsight as well. We look back and are grateful for all God has done for us. Nothing wrong with that!

But what if we were to practice being grateful first . . . and through?

"While I live I will praise the Lord!"

The Psalmist decided he would worship before he knew what would befall him. He was confident in his hope. Hope that comes only from our Creator.

We can be confident because God is first and foremost, faithful (vs. 6), He is just (vs. 7). He frees us from bondage (vs. 7), and has compassion on those who are bowed down (vs. 7-9).

We can determine to thank God now, with grateful praise because we know, no matter what happens, we can trust Him to do and be what He has promised.

May our praise and gratitude come from a wellspring of faith and trust in our Lord and Savior, rather than our emotional responses.

Emotions are fleeting but faith endures.

Blessings,

Inspired by . . . Where are the nine?

Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. 13 And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14 So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.

17 So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? 18 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” 19 And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.” 

(Luke 17:11-19)

*****

Ten were healed, yet only one returned thanks. One out of ten. By any account, those are not glowing statistics. When you stop and think about it, the enormity of ingratitude is overwhelming.

Leprosy was no minor affliction. Those who had it were not allowed to worship in the temple. They had to maintain a certain distance from other people. Essentially they were cut off from all human contact and even believed that they were cut off from God.

They called Him Master. They had heard the rumors about Him, certainly, but had never expected to see Him here so far from Jerusalem. Yet, here He was entering the same town. Embolden, they cry out, acknowledging Him as Master, awaiting His command.

They asked for mercy not healing. Did they sense that their affliction was more than skin deep? or did they simply hold to the Jewish belief that leprosy was, more than any other disease, a mark of God's displeasure? a particular punishment for sin?

Go, show yourselves. Jesus not only heals them, all of them, but He sends them to the priest so that it may be declared publicly that they are healed. 

Seeing he was healed, he returned. The Samaritan Leper. His life had just been completely changed and his first desire is to acknowledge and praise the One Who changed him. 

Were there not ten? The praise of the one only magnifies the ingratitude of the nine. You can almost hear the hurt in our Lord's voice. To have His great kindness so slighted must have grieved Him deeply.

"[It] intimates how justly He resents the ingratitude of the world of mankind, for whom He had done so much, and from whom He has received so little." ~Matthew Henry

The truth is, what Jesus did for those ten lepers is nothing compared to what He has done for us. They were ostracised, we were dead. Jesus restored them to the community, He has restored us to LIFE!

How many of us are guilty of the sin of ingratitude?

How many of us who call Him Master acknowledge and praise the One Who has saved us so completely? We sing the songs and pray the prayers and then walk away like nothing has happened.

May we, like the Samaritan Leper, recognize the enormity of His mercy as it unfolds in our lives day after day. May we develop a pattern of thankful praise and always remember the lesson of the lepers.

Blessings,

Inspired by . . . more and more

But I will hope continually,

And will praise You yet more and more. 15 

My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness 

And Your salvation all the day, 

For I do not know their limits. 16 

I will go in the strength of the Lord God; 

I will make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only. 

(Psalm 71:14-15) 

***** 

A fog shrouds everything in a moist blanket this morning. The arthropods have been busy during the night. Fine threads stretch between stalks and petals forming a highway of tiny diamonds.

Mother nature is following the calendar closely this year as she shifts from the golden sunrises of October to the damp, cool mornings of November. Leaves already litter the ground, barely having time to change their coats before the wind sends them flying.

The beginning of November, with the Thanksgiving Day holiday looming in the not-so-distant future, always brings a shift in my focus.

What am I thankful for? Am I living with an attitude of gratitude? What does it really mean to be thankful? to give thanks?

I seem to revisit these questions every November. And that's okay because scripture has enough answers, when it comes to thankfulness, to last a lifetime.

With the Psalmist, I acknowledge that there is no limit to God's righteousness, no limit to His strength, His power to save. It follows then, that there should be no limit to our praise.

I will praise Him yet, more and more.

Blessings,

Inspired by . . . Thy comforts

When the cares of my heart are many, Your consolations cheer my soul. (Psalm 94:19ESV)

My heart is hurting, friends. On a week when we should be giving thanks for abundance and blessing our country is starkly divided.  There are riots with people shouting alarming edicts, senseless shootings, and senseless loss of life. My heart aches for those who have lost loved ones, especially the children. And, yes, my heart aches for those who now have to live with the consequences of their actions.

Whenever I am anxious and worried, You comfort me and make me glad. (Psa 94:19GNB)

In the pages of my prayer journal I cry out to God. I tell Him how weary I am of all the hate, how much I long for peace. But I know peace is a long way off.

But I also know that peace will come.

In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul. (Psa 94:19KJV)

I cling to this Truth, the return of the Prince of Peace, I cling to His word. Because the fact is, the Truths of God (His comforts) will only bring us comfort if we allow them room in our hearts.

I was very worried and upset, but You comforted me and made me happy! (Psa 94:19ERV)

It's not easy, friend. The world and its cares can seem louder than His voice sometimes. Honestly, I've struggled to hold on to His comfort this week. I'm apprehensive about sitting down together with mixed minds over a plate of turkey tomorrow afternoon. I'm trying to be brave, but the thought of a political conversation erupting already has my stomach in knots.

You, too?

Or maybe for you, a tense political discussion would be welcome compared to the usual drama.

When my anxious inner thoughts become overwhelming, Your comfort encourages me. (Psa 94:19ISV)

Either way, it's clear the enemy has a strong foothold. And I know of only one way to set him back on his haunches; GRATITUDE

No matter what happens tomorrow, or the next day, or the day after that we can be grateful. We can give God the glory and praise and honor He deserves because He hath done wonderful things. We can know, without a shadow of a doubt, that justice will be done and peace will reign.

We can bear out this truth in our lives today because He has promised to never leave us or forsake us.

I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. (Joh 14:18)

As He promised Joshua:  I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. So His promise belongs to all His faithful servants.

If you're struggling to be at peace this week, struggling to focus on being thankful, I urge you to remember Psalm 94:19. Repeat it as you go about your preparations. Make it the prayer of your heart.

God's word is stronger and louder than any dissent of the enemy. Make room in your heart for the blessed comforts of God and they will come in and transform your soul.

Blessings on your

Thanksgiving!

Inspired by . . . Grateful Series IV: Every Blessing Turned to Praise

So I will bless You as long as I live; in Your name I will lift up my hands. Psa 63:4

Being able to praise God in both trial and blessing is evidence of a grateful heart.

In moments of difficulty, when He is all we have, hopefully we come to realize that He is all we need.

Failure to give praise can open the door to pride and feelings of entitlement. We can start thinking that we deserve, or have earned our blessings on our own merit.

This is a dangerous path, my friend.

Instead, when we give praise to God, and acknowledge Him as the Giver of all good gifts, we open the door wide for Him to do abundantly more than we could ever ask or imagine!

Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Eph 3:20-21

 

 

Wishing you and your

family a blessed Thanksgiving!

Inspired by . . . Grateful Series III: “more please!”

 

I’ve been pondering how often I receive a blessing from God, thank Him for it, and then immediately move on wondering, what’s next?

Like the child who says “thank you” out of obedience and then immediately asks “more please.”

Always looking to the next or bigger blessing reveals a dissatisfied spirit.

Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Php 4:11-13

Certainly I can be grateful without always being content, but for my gratitude to be truly pleasing to God, I believe it should walk hand-in-hand with a spirit of contentment.

A grateful perspective realizes God gave us the good we have, responds with praise, and then believes His good is enough.

Cultivating a spirit of gratitude laced with contentment is as easy as looking at your life.

Every day, take time to look around you and thank God for what you see.

But don’t stop there . . .

 

 

. . . tell Him it’s enough.

 

Blessings,

Inspired by . . . Grateful Series II: Good Gifts

 

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with Whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. Jas 1:17

Do these words seem familiar to you? That may be because they are also in my blog header. This is one of my favorite passages of scripture. I love it’s poetic nature. I love what it says about our Lord, the Father of light, Who does not change. He is the Giver of good and perfect gifts. So many wonderful, inspiring Truths in this one passage!

Do you believe that God gives good and perfect gifts?

Do you believe that every good thing is from God?

 

 

There is an important distinction here, because I think that sometimes we can fall into the trap of believing that WE are producing some of the good things in our lives.

Only God has the power to create. He is the Author of every good thing that exists.

Not even the enemy can create things, he can only pervert what God has made.

As the Father of lights, He gives the gift of reason.

But it is the spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand. Job 32:8

He gives the gift of learning.  All of Solomon’s wisdom, the art of government, science, and knowledge of nature was ascribed to God. And so it is with what we know and discover, the advancements we make in our world today.

He gives the gift of divine revelation. Compassion, faith, purity, sympathy all these are bestowed upon us by God. And it is by the renewing influence of divine grace within us that we have the ability to be {the noun turned verb} these things to others.

Do you believe that God gives good and perfect gifts?

Do you believe that every good thing is from God?

 

 

One way to answer these questions is to look at our words and actions. Is it obvious to others that I see God as the ultimate Provider of the good in my life?

Making a conscious effort to acknowledge God as the Source of our good makes us more grateful. It also makes us less anxious, more generous to others and less friendly to pride.

Not only should we thank God for the good gifts He gives, but we should thank Him for HIM!

 

God, Himself is Good, and worthy to be praised!

 

Blessings,

Inspired by . . . Grateful Series I: Be the one

11 On the way to Jerusalem {Jesus} He was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. 12And as He entered a village, He was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance 13and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.”14When He saw them He said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed. 15Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; 16and he fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving Him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. 17Then Jesus answered, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 18Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19And He said to him, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.” Luke 17:11-18

We don’t hear much about leprosy these days, although it certainly exists. It is a horrendous painful disease. Just being cured of leprosy would be enough to warrant praise and worship. But being rid of a disease was not all these ten men gained from meeting Jesus that day.
In Jesus’ day lepers were banished outside of the city gates. They could not worship in the temple. They could not make sacrifices for their sins. They were separated from their families and had to stay at least a hundred yards away from other people.
Being healed meant their entire lives were restored.
Redeemed.
Jesus literally gave them their lives back.
You know the story. Ten were healed. But only one returned to give Jesus praise and thanksgiving.
It’s easy to judge the ten, but let’s focus on the one.
If you’re a believer, Jesus has done for you what He did for these lepers.
He has given you a brand new life.
Restored - redeemed.

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Gal 2:20

Will we be the one? the one who grows a daily habit of gratefulness on the realization of what God has done?

Be the one.

Blessings,

Inspired by . . . savoring this life

 

I wish you could experience the smell in my cottage right now! I just pulled a batch of Salted Caramel Apple Hand Pies from the oven.

If warmth and comfort had a smell, this would definitely be it.

They were worth the work. Even worth the dough that got crammed up under my fingernails. Ick.

Mine don’t look as picture pretty perfect as Miss Kelly’s but, oh-yeah, they’re yummy!

 

 

I’m alone in the cottage today. Enjoying the quiet. I knew it would be the perfect day to try this recipe. Not having to rush, or worry that every inch of my little kitchen is, a-hem, covered in flour.

Baking brings with it a lot of memories for me. I wanted to savor them today. Not just the memories, but life.

I want to slow down and savor this life.

I lay my dad’s bread board across the sink, doubling the counter space in my kitchen. Decades of gentle kneading has made the surface as smooth as silk. It is a large board, seamless, nearly eighteen inches wide. I think about the tree from which it came, and glance outside.

 

kk_monday

 

The wind is playing with the trees in my front yard. Coaxing them to release their leaves.

 

Release.

I wonder if the trees feel a sweet relief as they let go and slip into their winter slumber. I know there are a few things I’d like to let go of . . . .

 

"Come to Me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest.” Matt 11:28

 

Knead the dough. Roll it out. Feel the rhythm.

 

 

In the background, faintly, because I’m enjoying the peace of this day, Elvis sings White Christmas. It’s the day after Thanksgiving, so Christmas music is allowed. I like to keep it special.

Sometimes less is more.

 

Life is so different now, of this Elvis reminds me.

My thoughts swirl like the cinnamon and sugar, mixed with the sharp tang of the Granny Smith apples. The good, the not-so-good, and the new.

Sweet and salty.

Mix it all up, assemble your pie and apply intense heat.

 

 

The goodness comes bubbling out.

 

Even gold, which can be destroyed, is tested by fire; and so your faith,

which is much more precious than gold, must also be tested, so that it may endure. 1Peter 1:7

 

I’m so grateful for the memories. All of them. Even for the times when something other than good came out when the heat was applied- - for the times I needed a  do over.

The times I received grace and mercy.

For they are all evidence of God’s fingers weaving the fabric of my life.

I’m so grateful for the moments-in-the-making. For God is here, now, still weaving.

 

 

He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; Phil 1:6

 

What moments are you savoring today?

Is there a “do over” you need to thank Him for?

 

Blessings,

Inspired by . . . a special dinner

 

Focusing on Thanksgiving as a Lifestyle, not just a holiday.

 Freedom From Want ~ Norman Rockwell

 

Does your typical Thanksgiving look like a Norman Rockwell painting? Are you blessed with family, and friends, a warm place to gather and an abundance of food?

Freedom from want.

Although we are a small family unit now, I enjoyed large family gatherings growing up. Looking back on the holiday feasts we had at our small family farm in Vermont, the farmhouse overflowing with family and friends, I’m more thankful now for what I had then, than I ever was as a child.

 

Old Farmhouse  - Scanned image

 

Part of that thankfulness comes from more fully knowing the Hand from which the blessing came; and part of it is understanding the reality that for many most people the Norman Rockwell setting does not exist.

Sometimes the family, friends, places to gather and abundance of food are not the blessings they seem. Sometimes they just don’t exist.

However, there is one dinner to which we are all invited. There are no special requirements, other than, you must come of your own free will, wear a robe of repentance, and remove your shoes before you enter. The place where you’re standing is holy ground. Don’t worry, Beloved. If you forget your robe and your shoes, one look at His marvelous face will remind you.

 

And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it,

and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”

Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.

For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on

until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”

And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. Matt 26:26-30

 

Even after receiving such a blessing from their Lord the disciples experienced loneliness and pain. You will too. That is the way of this world. But there is one more feast I want to share with you today. If you have willingly received the blessing of the first meal with Jesus, then your name is on the invitation list for this feast - - A feast beyond imagination!

 

And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude,

as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying,

“Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!

Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory,

for the marriage of the Lamb has come,

and His wife has made herself ready.”

And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen,

clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

Then he said to me, “Write:

‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’”

And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.” Rev 19:6-10

 

The Wedding Feast of the Lamb! There is no loneliness here. No disappointment or pain. At this final heavenly celebration with our Risen Lord we will truly know freedom from want.

This is a promise we can be thankful for today.

This hope is the anchor of our souls, a reality that will carry us through during times of darkness and despair.

No matter what your Thanksgiving looks like

this year, may the Love of the Lamb

surround you.

Inspired by . . . greater than all the gods

 

Focusing on Thanksgiving as a Lifestyle, not just a holiday.

 

 

Many years ago my husband and I owned a small business and had several employees. There were days that were stressful. There were times when my husband made business decisions that I didn’t necessarily agree with. It was hard living out our personal relationship, and our business relationship in front of others.

Because how do you really separate the two? You don’t.

What made it even more difficult, was that I was determined to be a Godly example both as a person, and as a wife. Not that I didn’t fail. I’m certain I did, often. But even in my failures, maybe especially in my failures, I wanted to be a good example of a believer in Christ.

Why?

Because our employees were not Believers . . . they knew we were . . .

. . . and they were watching.

If you profess to be a believer in Christ, I guarantee there are people watching you. {and lest you think you need to be perfect in this, you may want to go back up and read what I said about failures}

Your marriage {if you are married} and your relationship with others is one of the most challenging and fruitful places to exemplify Christ.

The other is in showing our gratitude to God for the things He has done, and is doing in our lives.

 

 

“when we respond to our circumstances, particularly the difficult ones,

with gratitude to our Lord, we bear witness to others around us

of His existence and His goodness.”

 

There are numerous examples of this truth in scripture. One is the response of Moses’ father-in-love, Jethro in Exodus 18:8:11, “Blessed be the Lord, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharaoh, and who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians. Now I know that the Lord is greater than all the gods; for in the very thing in which they behaved proudly, He was above them.”

When Moses sang his song of gratitude to the Lord in Exodus 15 , Jethro’s eyes were opened to the One True God.

Another example, and one of my favorites, is found in Acts 16. Paul and Silas are beaten and put in jail. Yet, after all this, at midnight they could be heard praying and singing songs to God. Now before we are tempted to do them a disservice by thinking they were only roughed up a bit, the scripture says, “And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them securely.” Paul and Silas had their flesh laid open, and yet they were praising and thanking God for all He had done for them.

Their perspective is a difficult one to achieve. Yet it is one that saves.

Read the result of their gratitude: Acts 16:25-34

The jailer and his entire household were saved!

 

People are watching.

People need hope.

You never know how one small act of kindness, one small offer of thanksgiving to God will be received.

We are the salt – we are the light.

Go – shine forth and season with love.

 

With gratitude,

Inspired by . . . the secret of contentment.

 

 

Focusing on Thanksgiving as a Lifestyle, not just a holiday.

 

 

 

Learning to be thankful in all circumstances is not the same as giving God thanks

for cancer or some other terrible event.

God uses tragedies,

but His purposes are always for healing and wholeness, not for disease or destruction.

So being content and thankful in all circumstances means

seeing God's hand and provision even, or especially, in the midst of hard, or even terrible, situations.

The "secret" of contentment therefore is to focus on our faithful, merciful God

and the way He redeems the worst situations in our lives.
