The sun is coming up this morning at 6:59AM, I have a new appreciation for the sunrise today, more than I ever have. It's the end of 2024, the end of a year that almost took Ron and myself down. I am happy to say that God is good! He never failed to be here with us.
I have re-started a devotional coloring book/journal that I attempted to do this year, I ended up giving up on it.
This week's verses are Lamentations 3: 22-25
22: Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.23: They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.24: I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”25: The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;
It started out as a journaling thing where I write out my thoughts and reflections on this, that was yesterday when I started this over. Today is a whole other take, today God is showing who He is through those verses. How did He do this? Well, instead of just reading those verses, He took me deeper into my Study Bible to read the reference Scriptures to go with this weeks verses. This I love because it's what I have praying about more, I want a deeper connection to God. I want knowledge of who God is and I want to experience Godly wisdom, not worldly wisdom. I want to be changed fully.
- God does not change Malachi 3:6
- God is full of compassion Psalm 78:38
- God is forgiving Psalm 86:5
- God is gracious Isaiah 33:2
- God is our salvation Isaiah 33:2, Micah 7:7
- God is righteous Zephaniah 3:5
- God is merciful Jeremiah 3:12
- God is our filling that we need when we are hungry and thirsty. Psalm 16:5
- God is our strength Psalm 73:26
- God is the maker of all things Jeremiah 10:16
- God is our hope Jeremiah 17:17
- God created the heavens and the earth Genesis 1:1
- God corrects us with justice Jeremiah 30:11
With this all being said, it's refreshing to have God speak to me this morning. I needed to hear His voice speak to me through this study that I am doing.
I truly believe that God is with us, He really does want a deeper connection to both Ron and myself.
Ron was gifted a CD player with a Bible CD set since he is not able to read the Bible yet, the writing is too small. I will eventually get him a larger print Bible.
I truly believe that 2025 is the year of us growing with God.
