Psalm 147:1 “Praise the Lord. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him!” Are you feeling down? Or afraid? Or maybe uncertain of what the future holds? There is one answer that scripture shouts to us…praise the Lord. I am a firm believer in praising the…
Category Archives: Worship Wednesday
Welcome to Worship Wednesday! Join me each Wednesday for an uplifting devotion worshiping our Lord Jesus Christ.
Wednesdays can be hard. It’s the middle of the week. We are tired. Life is busy. The “Sunday High” has worn off. Come here to get your spiritual batteries recharged.
I will give you my insights into God’s Word. We will meditate on Scripture and offer a prayer of praise. Please leave an encouraging word for your Living Bellissima friends.
Sit back and enjoy what God has to say to you today. What a great way to start your Wednesday!
Look above the Board
2 Peter 3:1 (NIV) “Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking.” I gave a new writing prompt to my students for their next writing assignment: “How Incoming 4th Graders Can Survive Mrs. Nichols Class.” We brainstormed all the…
Compassion
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.” 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 This weekend a dear…
Goldfish and Flowers
“This is how God showed his love among us; He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.” 1John 4:9 Recently Sara’s friend asked us to care for her goldfish while she and her family went to Disneyland. I immediatly thought this had Dead Fish written all over…
Sometimes a Stomach Bug Is a Stomach Bug
Romans 8:1 NIV “Therefore, there is now no condemnations for those who are in Christ Jesus,” As you may know I am memorizing Romans 8 in 2015. I am doing okay at this, not great, just okay. I am reminded by the Lord daily about Romans 8:1. There is no room in Christ for me…
Thanksgiving
Leviticus 7:12-13 NIV “If he offers it as an expression of thankfulness, then along with this thank offering he is to offer cakes of bread made without yeast and mixed with oil, and cakes of fine flour well-kneaded and mixed with oil. Along with his fellowship offering of thanksgiving he is to present an offering…
Just Say Yes
Ephesians 5:15-16 NIV “Be very careful, then, how you live-not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.” I don’t know if my days are evil, but they are busy. A few years into our marriage Kurt sat me down for a talk. He told me I…
People Pleaser
1 Thessalonians 2:4b NIV “…We are not trying to please men but God, who tests our hearts.” How does that verse strike you? I am forced to stop and examine myself. I am a people pleaser. Performance is big with me. The better I perform the more people will like me. Can you identify with…
Surrounded
Deuteronomy 31:8 NIV “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” Isaiah 41:13 NIV “For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I…
The Good Shepherd
Isaiah 40:11 “He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.” NIV How does God care for us? He carries us. How? Close to his heart. Do you see the word picture in your mind? Our…
