Sabbath Keeping

~ the road home ~

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~ Jeremiah 29:11

"God wants us to lay our burdens on Him and rest in His love. It's His responsibility to work out the purpose and plan in our hardships. ..." ~ Helen Keller ~
Faith isn't the ability to believe long and far into the misty future.
     It's  simply taking God at His Word and taking the next step.
   
         ~ Joni Erickson Tada
~
 

"I would rather err on the side of faith than on the side of doubt."  ~ Robert Schuller ~

"The great lesson is that the sacred is in the ordinary, that it is to be found in one's daily life, in one's neighbors, friends, and family, in one's backyard." ~ Abraham Maslow ~

"The Lord will either calm your storm or 
allow it to rage while He calms you." 
~ proverb ~

Above all else, know this:  
Be prepared at all times for the gifts of God and be ready always for new ones.  
For God is a thousand times more ready to give than we are to receive." 
~ Meister Eckhart ~

"God is even kinder than you think." ~ St. Theresa ~

"Fear knocked at the door and faith answered. No one was there." ~ proverb ~

"Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." ~ Philippians 3:13-14 ~


Blessings ~ faith ~ prayers ~ the gift of both now and the future  ~ God ~

Soli Deo Gloria,
Sandra

  1. Taking God at His Word is exactly what our sermon was about today! And taking that step of obediance to show that we truly believe that He keeps His promises!

    Blessings to you this day!
