The Ides of March! It was cold and windy so I walked the treadmill early morning. But after work in the afternoon I stopped at Kath’s, and we did a 2 mile loop around her side of Ft. Allen. And again, it was very cold!
I did title work for Jen this afternoon, and Chrissy was with her. I took a picture of her blister from burning her hand on the pizza pan on Saturday. She said it looks like a slug! It will take a while to heal.
My niece Sarah had sent me a txt to check out Marshall’s – they had an entire end cap of Snoopy items! So I stopped in today (accidentally, of course! Never on purpose!) to check them out. I could have spent a ton of money, but I restricted myself to a cute Snoopy and Woodstock drink pitcher. Can’t wait to use it! I will keep ice tea or lemonade in it. The pitcher is very sturdy which is good – Sometimes things at my house take a beating!
Today I will share Micah’s message from Old Mahoning – Is that your final answer? He was speaking about the fiery furnace with Shadrach Meshach and Abednego. It was such a stressful situation – if they did not bow to the king’s idol they would be thrown into the furnace. They had to decide what they believed and why – and be willing to accept how God would handle the situation. They knew God could save them, but they knew that if He didn’t they would be with him! They would NOT bow – and the king asked them if they were SURE. ‘Is that your final answer?’ They declared WE WILL SERVE OUR GOD! Allow God to be God – will we trust Him or ourselves? Satan wants us to doubt and to question everything. How do we gain confidence to override fear? 1) Knowledge – read/hear His word. Listen to his voice/spirit. 2) FAITH Forsaking All I Trust Him. God will keep his word, he’ll keep us through, and do great things. 3) Commitment – there is no 2nd hand faith. It’s our choice. Enjoy your life with Christ. A) Be sure you can take loss B) Endure persecution C) Give God credit. Blessed be the Lord!
