Daily Devotion to God’s Holy Word.

By, Karen Rowe

ENTER!

GO!

GIVE!

PRAISE!

WITH Thanksgiving!
WITH PRAISE!

TO HIM!
And Praise HIS Name!

This morning God’s set-in-motion Day has burst forth & if you are reading this, you woke up!

On the farm, it is easy to find daily things to thank God for, like this little calf we call Marbles! Marbles was so weak he couldn’t stand, nor suck his bottle. Some reasons, maybe because a bottle is not his mama!

But, he made it! Last night he pulled the top off the bottle. So this happened; does it matter why? Did I not get the lid on tight & straight? Probably! That makes since. Yet, I can tighten the lids & It takes all my might to get them off for cleaning!

Isn’t this like it is in life? Some times stuff happens, but what matters is our thankful heart and Praise to God in Jesus Name.

Some times, it is hard to get that lid off our stubborn heart to lift praise up to God, but God’s Lovingkindness, longsuffering & patience for us is PRAISE worthy!

We should be on our knees, yet Jesus says, I love you still. Because God gives us a choice of a relationship with Him. God loves us too much to make is like a robot!

Freedom to choose began with God’s 1st gift of life & man chose sin. REALLY? yeah! If we are honest with our self, we often ignore the obvious & focus on how we feel.

If the temperature is cold or hot, we complain, and sometimes that temperature is perfect! Or almost…

We either believe or we don’t, but that is why we encourage seeking the face of Jesus Christ, that even if you don’t see His Face, you can know Him to believe.

God has been so rationalized that many can’t see His Glory for all the hoops.

This thanksgiving & daily will you commit to searching for the relationship God offers you through His Son, Jesus?

You don’t have to, God loves you anyway, but that tug you feel, is near the PreSence that can’t be explained, nor explained away, is Love. God is Love and Jesus really did die for you to come into a restored relationship with God, as your Father, who art in Heaven.

Jesus, I thank you for making this Way for us to come to a life that has has answers & truths that set us free from fear to live in Peace & with Joy. I Praise the Lord!

 

TILL NEXT TIME!

Love in Christ,

Karen Rowe

Meet Karen: Hi, I am blessed, by God's good grace and because I know Jesus, I am blessed. I choose to be blessed, because I have a choice set before me and I refuse to look down. I trust God and I know and believe in the love God has for us. I have overcome difficulties; and I am blessed by the grace of God alone. If I have written about it, then I have felt the pain of it in some way, and to some degree. Did you know that Jesus has felt your pain? This is why I write. By God's grace I can identify; and tell you honestly, yes there is hope in anything and everything that you are facing today! Jesus is our Hope! He is the Truth, the Way and the Life. I am married a wonderful man, Robert Rowe; I love my husband and he loves me; and we have been married for 28 years. Together, we have been blessed with a wonderful daughter, named Amanda who is college now; and a wonderful son, named Daniel who is growing up well and soon to graduate elementary school. We work together and by God's grace we run our own business called PSI. We have a pastor over our ministry and over our business and also we depend on him for advise in our family. We have 2 dogs, 4 horses, 2 cats and love to spend time outdoors by the water and by campfires ... that is it seems when we can find time away from life's busy schedule. I love to write because it helps me learn more about God. And, I am driven by a passion from a love that God has put in my heart to share from my experiences and struggles, as I gain understanding in God’s Word to know how effective and powerful God is over our every situation! I share with you so you can know that you are not alone in your struggles. The same God who helps me and my family, is your help and shield as well! Life is not always easy, but it is possible –I like to share the difference that following Jesus makes in my life. And, I love to share God's patience and mercy and love that is with me! I am not perfect, but am experiencing God sanctify me through and through with every mistake I make; and yes, overcome in Christ! Life is not just about the successes; life on this earth is also about the troubles we overcome to discover what God has hidden in our faith to find! Troubles are more a challenge to grow in our faith ... It is not easy, but in the end the grace of God we discover is worth experiencing God in the midst. By Grace, I have discovered Jesus is Peace and He is my Joy and Wisdom from Heaven. God is our Provider and Healer and Creator, who is our help and shield over all things. By grace, I have experienced a nearness to God through my faith in His Son! We are well forgiven by God; and well blessed when we know and believe the love that God has for us. To say, "all is well with my soul" is a powerful knowledge to understand and experience. I sense God's desire for you to know His love for you and how deep His love for you is that He has SO loved you; God gave you His Son. God loves you right now just as you are! There is so much to learn! I believe that as we learn from God, we are God’s gift to each other. It is all God’s story –and for His glory; and God has SO loved us. I love to paint the vision that God has given me about a Father’s love –that God wants you to dream again and visualize His love for you! In God’s eyes, there’s more to life than we see; and in a world that sometimes misrepresents and misunderstands God and love; God wants you to have the courage to dream His dream and see His vision of a Father’s love for you! Many years ago, I prayed to God, “How can I tell a million people what I know about Your Son?” God showed me I had a gift of a ministry about God's Love; and He called it Hope in Today! I write to please God and I write to encourage you; and I write to spend quiet time with God. All because of this love that God has first shown me! I need Jesus –and my life is about my relationship with God. And, every blessing begins with Him! Love in Christ, Karen Rowe, Director Hope in Today Ministries, Inc.
