Here is today's podcast in blog post form. :)



The other day, I had left my wallet in my husband’s car and I needed it to run an errand.  I stopped by the church and he wasn’t there.  I called and he didn’t answer.  So I went on that app called Find Your Friends and I saw he was just around the corner making a visit with one of the ladies who recently had surgery.  So I stopped by there, grabbed my wallet, texted him never mind – I got what I needed, and then drove away.  I barely made it to the stop sign when he called me.  He said, “Ummm, is that you driving away?”  I told him the story of needing my wallet and I saw he was right around the corner so I grabbed it.

He replies, “That’s scary!”  I said, “What’s scary?”  He said, “The government could be tracking all of us right now through that app!”  I started laughing and said he was acting like his dad creating a conspiracy theory!  Later on, I got thinking about that.

Why is it that we aren’t afraid to be “tracked” by the Lord?  What I mean is this…think back on every single place you went today or even this week?  Would you want the Lord to know you were there?  What about what you watched on TV, Netflix, Amazon Prime or even just on your personal computer?  Were those shows pleasing to the Lord?  Do they contain nudity, vulgarity or even just comedic innuendos?  Would you be able to sit and watch those shows if God was sitting with you?  What about your thoughts?  That’s a tough one.  They are harder to control than anything you watch or go.

So how about it today?  Is there something you need to change in your life?  Why?  God is watching you know.  Sometimes, it is so easy to forget that.

So today’s challenge is:  Take careful thought on what you do, what you watch and what you think this week.  Your Savior is right there with you everywhere you go.


Will you take the challenge?

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."  Psalm 27
