This is what the Lord says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go. — Isaiah 48:17
The Holy One of Israel.
His is the Lord our God.
He teaches us what is best for us.
The Lord directs us in the ways we should go.
This Sunday we had a wonderful preacher, Andrea.
She reminded us to show gratitude each day to God.
He alone is deserving of our praise.
I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth. — Job 19:25
Even so, He was confident in his faith.
And he was confident in his God.
He had faith that his redeemer lives.
And that in the end He will stand on the earth.
And that one day he would see God.
I have that confidence too.
These flowers are called yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
They remind me that God was here before I was born.
And He will reign today and forever.
May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. — Psalm 19:14
It felt wonderful.
It was an orchestra Sunday and the Pt. Loma Strings joined our orchestra for some of the songs.
I wasn't sure if I would have enough breath support to sing all of the hymns and praise songs as well as the anthem, but God kept me going.
May the words of the mouth and the meditation or my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord.
You are my Rock and my Redeemer.
My Savior and my Lord.
I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end He will stand on the earth. — Job 19:25
I'm reading a chronological study Bible, and the commentary on the speeches by Job's friends has explained that they relied on the wisdom teachings of the time rather than on God's Word.
Today many of my coworkers often rely on the teachings of yoga, philosophers, and hindu teachings rather than on God's Word.
I also have coworkers who are strong Christians who pray with me and who I can pray for.
And even my non-Christian coworkers often let me pray for them when they are going through tough times.
God places us where He can use us to accomplish His will.
And He gives us friends and family members to support us and uphold us in our walk with Him.
Today was Kirk's mom's birthday, and we miss her very much.
This is what the Lord says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go. — Isaiah 48:17
It's hard to believe it's been 25 years since we had her just down the street at Kaiser.
She now has her masters degree and enjoys her job as an enrollment counselor.
Her college friend will be here in a couple of weeks to visit from Spokane.
And we're headed out to dinner at a French restaurant in Coronado to celebrate.
Her coworkers brought festive red velvet cupcakes for her at work this week.
And Kirk and I picked up this cute chocolate mousse cake at Flour Power.
Our friends brought us yellowtail tuna that he caught a few weeks ago.
God directs us in the way we should go and teaches us what is best for us.
We are blessed!
With everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you,” says the Lord your Redeemer. — Isaiah 54:8
His kindness reaches to the farthest corner of the earth.
His radiance shines through the darkest night.
The Lord God is my Redeemer.
Today is Pi approximation day, 22/7.
We celebrated my colleagues' birthdays with a potluck.
I made pound cake and scones for Krista's birthday tomorrow.
One big celebration all week long!
God will help us.
