God’s Purpose Will Be Established

Dec8

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows:
when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.
And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly.
Matthew 1:18-19 NASB1995

The law in Deuteronomy 22:20-24 regarding a betrothed bride not found to be a virgin, says she is to be stoned to death.

When God calls us to something it is not always an easy road. But God. God will accomplish what He has called us to. He will intervene just as He did in this case.

But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying,
“Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 1:20 NASB1995

The Lord of hosts has sworn saying, “Surely, just as I have intended so it has happened, and just as I have planned so it will stand,
Isaiah 14:24 NASB1995

🌹. . . I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me, . . .
Saying, ‘My purpose will be established, And I will accomplish all My good pleasure’;
Isaiah 46:9b and 10b NASB1995

🙏O Lord, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name; For You have worked wonders, Plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness.
Isaiah 25:1 NASB1995

Hoping You Have a Mary Christmas – Repost

Dec21

Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.” But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”
Luke 10:38‭-‬42 NASB

I hope you don’t miss it.

We can get so caught up in the hustle and bustle and be distracted, like Martha. The gift buying and wrapping; parties, stressing over the preparation; dealing with heavier traffic and people everywhere.

Let us not forget the real, true reason for the season, like Mary, Jesus. “For Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”

🌹God bless you and I hope you have a Mary Christmas.

Mary Christmas

Dec24

Hope you have a Mary Christmas — no that is not a typo. It is easy to see how you can have a Merry Christmas with all the joyous music and holiday parties. But even with all that so many find this time to be a downer.  Why? Because they are not having a Mary Christmas.

In Luke 10:38 – 42 Mary sat at the feet of Jesus focusing on Him (the reason for the season) while Martha was hustling and bustling about. So my hope is that you will have a Mary Christmas which will bring to you peace for the season.
