Solo Day 208

Jul 29, 2011   //   by peggy   //   Solo Blog  //  No Comments

How many times do we feel so weary that we think we cannot make it another day.Just from every day cares but also for our quiet time with God. We get so involved with what we want to do, that we just don’t think that god is there to pick us and do all the heavy lifting in our lives to be drawn closer to Him. I think about me as a child in a red wagon and being pushed by my parents and knowing that their strong arms were there to do all the pushing. I just need ask them to carry me. Why is it so hard to ask God to carry us and to lean on Him. Peggy

Fit For God. I know he is trying his best to purify me on a daily basis and at the end of the day, I think I am that person, ready to show my love for God in the way I am living my lif but Im always falling short. For me it takes a whole lot of scrubbing the dirt away(24/7) to be Holy unto the Lord. Since my husband died five years ago, I can say with assurance that God has brought Godly men and women to protect me  from those who would take  advantage against me as a widow. I read in the paper that other widows are not surrounded by people who shield them from the enemy. Thank you Jesus for my life and your protection. Peggy S.

Solo Day 187

It sure is hard for me to wait upon the Lord to make things right in my life. I am always hurrying God alone. In his own time, he will reveal to me what is best. I see things happen each day in our country, and I will ask God why, why can’t those people get their just punishment. Our lives should be lived by faith and believing that God’s time is always right. As that great hymn of old says it best, The Lord is in His Holy Temple, let all the earth be silent before him. Why is it so hard to just listen to God’s direction. We don’t like the word patience. I am guilty.I want to be Fully Alive with God.   Peggy

Solo Day 180

In today’s passage from Micah, it hit too close for comfort. As we worship when we come on Sunday mornings to be fed by God’s Word, how many of us come with our own idols we serve during the time we should be heeding His Word. We come wanting to find fault with anything,maybe someone’s dress, their actions, their willingness to be drawn closer to Thee, than to  come out ready to tell the World what Jesus can do for them. Whenever I am ready to put my idols to work during service time and worship time with God, I well remember what my late father would say ,when I would ask him if he had heard my boo boo on the organ while I was playing a hymn.His response was: Peggy, I came to worship God, not  come to find fault with others.  It keeps me humble, but at times, I fall flat on my face, when I don’t leave them at the Foot of the Cross. Micah tells it like it is. Peggy
