God's Word ( a poem )

Here is a poem I have just recently written about God's Word. Enjoy!

     God's Word
The precious Word of God,
How I love with all my heart.
It's always true,
And always right!

It stands the test of time,
And never fades with the years.
His truth never changes,
It's the same today, yesterday, and forever.

Every time you open the 'Good Book',
Something new you'll be sure to learn
Doesn't matter how often you've read it,
It's always exciting, it's always new!

So dig into God's Word today,
And see what wonders you'll find!
Oh, the precious Word of God,
It holds untold treasures just for you!

God has spoken to us,
"Come unto me, and I will answer thee,
And show thee great and mighty things,
Which though knowest not."

So come into His Word today,
"Seek and ye shall find.
Knock and it shall be opened unto you,
Ask and you shall receive".

Isn't it just amazing what He has given,
With love for me and for you
His Word and Truth ,
Which will endure for ever for ever!

Oh, how I love God's Word! And may you too!

In Him,
Mae

Praying for each of the children - one a day

  I've just started a new thing concerning praying for our children.

I almost always included praying for the children in my daily prayers, yet I was not completely satisfied with the way I was praying for them.
 "I'd heard of many moms who would pray for each individual child in a quite a detailed prayer every day in their prayers.
 But for me more often than not I found my self only praying for the one that day that caused me the most grief, or all of them in one big lump sum. Which I am sure is very good too. But as we know each child is different with different personalities, and each entail their own list of prayers.

 So while I was thinking and praying on my dilemma one morning while in bed, this thought came to me, "Why not pray for one child each day of the week." And since I have 7 children it would work perfect. So I decided to start with my oldest one on the first day of the week, and work my way down ending with our last child on Sabbath ( the 7th day of the week). And then start all over with my oldest again on Sunday.
  This is going on the third week now. And I'd say it is going very great, though sometimes when I start praying after getting into bed at night I do have to think a bit whose day it is and who I am to pray for that day. Then I start praying for that child along with my other prayer concerns. I pray on many pacific things for that child, things they are going through, any misbehavior, as well as their ambitions and interests, and that they grow in wisdom, and in love with God and His Word and truth.
  I have never prayed with this much detail for each of the children before. So I am loving this knew arrangement! Note that this is not replacing the prayers I say with the children when I tuck them at night, this is just my personal prayer time for them.

Remember the fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much! (James 5:10)
So keep up those prayers! It is worth all your time and effort!

In Him,
Mae

Living A Life For God

Living a life for God isn't just about reading the Bible, and praying everyday, or even knowing right from wrong.
 But it is that, and so much more.

It's asking Him in to our hearts and lives to abide in us and with us.
It is loving Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and body.
It's having Him in our thoughts all the time.
Being completely consumed by Him, and in Him.
Living a life that revolves around Him, and His will.

It's having a personal relationship with God.
Yearning to no Him more.
Seeking after His wisdom, truth, and righteousness.
Desiring His will in everything we do and think.
Praising, honouring, and glorifying God in every thing we do, and in every area of our lives.

It's about giving our life to God, to be used by Him and for Him.
Putting off the flesh and fleshly desires.
Reaching out to others.
Living a life that is pleasing to God in every way and everything.
Fulfilling the great commission of spreading His Word to others.

It's about putting our treasures in Heaven.
Using our time and talents wisely for God, and God alone!
It's about trading in our desires for His desires.
Dieing to our will and living for His will.
It's about being hearers and doers of His word.

It's about loving our neighbors as ourselves.
Keeping His commandments.
It's putting others first and our selves last.
Training our children in the way they should go.
It's about knowing that when our life on earth is no more, that we will have a wonderful home waiting for us in Heaven.
It's not what you know, but what you do with what you know

Yep, this is what living a life for God is all about!
 In Him,
Mae

Saturating our children in the things of God ( part 3)

Making our Home a Godly Atmosphere & Diligently Teaching our Children the Word of God( Deuteronomy 6:4-9)

 We can not guarantee that our children will give their hearts to God and serve Him all their lives. Though that is our greatest hope and desire, and goal in life.

 But all we can do is our part.
  We can diligently teach and impress the Word of God on them and to them. We can saturate them in the word of God and the things of God on a daily bases. As well as teaching them by our example. The way we live our lives as parents speak louder than words anyway.

 Right from a very young age they need to know by our words, actions, and deeds that this is who we are and what we do.
 We are God's people doing Bible things in Bible ways. Our lives revolve around God and the things of God. We are different from the world. There is things we just can't do, we won't do it, or would not even have a slightest desire to do because we love God, and only want to do those things that are pleasing in His sight.
They need to see that we are a set apart people, a peculiar people, and that we are in the world, but not a part of the world.

  Here is some really great verses on this subject.

1 Peter 2:9 "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:"

Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.                                                                                                                                                                          
                                                                                                                                                                         
 John 17:16 "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world."

                         Romans 12: 2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. "

    James 4: 4 "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God."

  1 John 2: 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.           

And above all else we can also pray diligently and regularly that our children will choose to love and serve God with all their heart , soul, and minds. And that He will be the center of their lives.

  In Him, Mae
                                Colossians 3: 16-17
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

17 And whatsoever ye do  in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

Our Amazing Heavenly Father

  This is a poem I have just recently written, and wanted to share here. Enjoy!

                                                        OUR AMAZING FATHER

       

Our Heavenly Father,

All seeing, all knowing.

Always just, and always true,

Full of grace, and full of compassion.

 

Our Heavenly Father,

The same yesterday, today, and forever.

His love never fades, it never wears out on us.

And His mercy is everlasting.

 

Our Heavenly Father,

His word is always true,

And endures to all generations.

He can not lie.

 

Our Heavenly Father,

With no beginning and no ending.

The way, the truth, and the life.

Our creator, and our ever present Help.

 

Our Heavenly Father,

How manifold are thy works!

In wisdom has thou made them all;

The earth is full of thy riches.

 

Our Heavenly Father,

Your laws are perfect and testimonies true,

Your commandments pure and righteous.

More to be desired than gold!

 

Our Heavenly Father,

Who holds the world in His hands,

Loves us more than we could ever know.

He will never leave us, nor forsake us!

And His promises He will always keep!

 

 



What an amazing God we serve! Put your trust in Him for He will never let you down!

In Him, Mae
