u trapped jesus said i have come that they may have life and have it to the full don t allow god s patience to be wasted on you he s giving you every opportunity to come to him so you can experience his peace and joy in this life and eternity with him when this life is over posted by anneliese dalaba at 2 22 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday may 11 2010 that s a lot of work the book held me spellbound i could hardly wait to get to the next chapter to see what would happen as i laid the book down i thought i sure would love to write like that but when i thought about the hours and hours of study writing and rewriting that would go into such a project i wasn t so sure how much i really wished for such a success that s a lot of work when we see a truly lovely christian one who is filled with the joy of the lord who is filled with the spirit we often long to be that way too but are we willing to invest that much time with god the study of his word and praying without ceasing or do we just want it to fall into our laps without any effort on our part well that s just not going to happen psalm 34 4 says i sought the lord and he answered me he delivered me from all my fears what does it mean to seek him when i played hide and go seek as a child i kept looking and searching until i found what i was looking for unfortunately when it comes to spiritual matters we want to say a quick little prayer when we feel like it without taking the time to seek him and then we want to reap huge blessings you can pray short little prayers for help and god in his great mercy may even answer you but to truly live a victorious spirit filled life full of abundant blessings you must seek him always and never stop because even when you have found what you are looking for in god there is so much more to still be found the searching will last a lifetime it is the same with children who grow up in a peaceful loving environment and they see the loving relationship between their parents they may think i can t wait to get married and have the kind of marriage my parents have they may be under the false assumption that it will just fall into their laps however unless they seek god for guidance the way their parents did and unless they work at making their marriage successful by following godly principles just as their parents did they will be sadly disappointed happily married couples have worked toward not being rude self seeking or easily angered they try not to keep a record of wrongs unfortunately this is so contrary to what society expects a happy marriage to be they love the sweet words the cuddles and kisses the secret looks between lovers but are not willing to make the sacrifice of giving up their selfish nature and following god s principles for love in 1 corinthians 13 in order to maintain such a love to have a truly blessed life we must be willing to invest all of our time and energy to draw close to god it is only the life truly surrendered to him that will know the deep satisfaction and contentment of serving him and being blessed by him jesus said in john 7 37 if anyone is thirsty let him come to me and drink we do not need to remain thirsty jesus promised to quench our thirst but we must make the effort to come to him and drink tags women religion

remember the old sitcom all in the family when annoyed about something or someone archie bunker would look up at the ceiling and blame god for his trials everyone would laugh about it but not my mother she felt archie was using god s name in vain and making a mockery of her faith needless to say she didn t allow us to watch show either some people may snicker and say my mother was oversensitive but if god s spirit within her was grieved by this program she did the right thing by turning it off it didn t matter that other christians watched the show laughed about the comedy and talked about it with each other i don t remember hearing my mother judging others for not sharing her views she just simply obeyed what she felt god wanted her to do interestingly enough my mother s measure of right and wrong and of the application of god s word has in many ways become my measure too unfortunately there have been times in my life when i chose to ignore my conscience and did what i wanted to instead however that was always followed by a lack of the sense of god s nearness i hated the feeling of knowing i had grieved god s spirit within me disobedience to the nudging of the holy spirit is just not worth it it drains your life of joy and leaves you feeling empty you love righteousness and hate wickedness therefore god your god has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy psalm 45 7 tags women archie bunker devotional christianity posted by anneliese dalaba at 9 37 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday january 23 2010 can you hear me now you may remember the old telephone commercial where the guy is trying to call someone on his cell phone but has difficulty being heard he keeps moving from place to place and with each change of location he asks can you hear me now prayer can seem like that too you pray and you ask but seem to get no answer and you wonder if you re even being heard you fast and make promises but nothing changes i ve heard it said that when you get no answer to your prayers god may be saying no or wait this is true but not always the bible also tells us that god expects us to obey him so our prayers can be heard the lord is far from the wicked but he hears the prayer of the righteous proverbs 15 29 1 peter 4 7 says the end of all things is near therefore be clear minded and self controlled so that you can pray in james 3 16 we read therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective the bible has so much to say about being in right relationship with god so our prayers can be heard let me just give you one more example of hindered prayer when husbands and wives do not live together in peace this too can hinder prayers from being heard look at 1 peter 3 1 7 peter explains how a woman and man should treat each other and ends verse 7 with so that nothing will hinder your prayers when you refuse to live a life of obedience to god and you refuse to repent from your sins you may actually be leaving your children and loved ones unprotected according to the above verses it sounds to me like god will not hear your prayers so if you are praying for your family members while living in disobedience you are actually not being heard this thought alone should drive you to your knees let s determine to confess our sins and live lives completely surrendered to god tell him how weak you are but that you want him to change you i promise you that he will hear you when you pray this kind of prayer imagine how wonderful this year will be if god will hear our prayers for our children and other family members our unsaved loved ones our church our community our government and the world do not allow your prayers to be hindered any longer tags women prayer devotional christianity posted by anneliese dalaba at 1 14 pm 2

you cleaned your house and started your family s favorite meal as you look around you feel really good with how it all looks and what you have accomplished then your kids come home from school and they shout what s there to eat they drop their jackets on the floor and kick off their shoes they drop their backpacks and head for the kitchen you say stop right there hang your jacket up and move your shoes out of the way so no one trips take your backpack upstairs once you get upstairs you see that their school clothes are laying on the floor and the books are spilling out of their backpacks so you tell them to straighten up their rooms when it s time for dinner you ask them to come downstairs and you hear them answer just a minute five minutes later you are still waiting finally they come downstairs after you eat you tell them to take their plates to the sink you are trying so hard to keep your house from looking like you never cleaned it on and on it goes until bedtime you keep having to tell your kids what to do go wash our hands don t fight stop picking on your sister brush your teeth take the dog out go to bed don t forget to pray as you lay your head on your pillow waiting to fall asleep you think back on your day you realized that you have been scolding or reprimanding your children since they came home from school in your mind s eye you again see each of their faces and your heart fills with love for your children you wish you had taken the time to tell them how special they are to you do they realize how much you love their smiles and even their pouts do they know how funny you think they are and how much they fill your life with laughter do they know the gifts and talents you see developing in their lives of course they will never know any of this unless you tell them parents are under a lot of pressure with work school activities church activities housework yard work etc that it s easy to forget the little things like telling your children what you find special about them yet it s these little things that will become big things in their lives in the future they will want to live up to how you perceived them to be point out their weaknesses when absolutely necessary and don t make a big deal about it but when pointing out their strengths tell them over and over again and make a big deal about it when children know that their parents like them appreciate them and enjoy them it will help them to become emotionally healthy adults love is patient love is kind it is not easily angered it does not keep a record of wrongs 1 cor

weeks of vacation this summer during those two weeks i didn t have to plan meals work at my job do housework go to appointments etc i had a blissful two weeks that gave me a break from my normal routine when the two weeks ended i found myself back at my job working on my computer and having flashbacks of the various places we visited i wished i were still there then i came across the bible verse in luke 9 23 if anyone would come after me he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me as i meditated on this verse i realized how much the people around me benefit by the things i do rather than just seeing my routine as work and duty i began to see it as a way to bless others in addition how much of the work others are involved in benefits me each of us has a cross to pick up and carry daily for the good of others and the kingdom of god am i carrying my cross god spoke through the prophet isaiah to the children of israel and said yet you have not called upon me o judah you have not wearied yourselves for me o israel isaiah 43 22 niv the next time you feel like groaning about a particular job or task you have to do start to think about the people who will benefit from it think about how much joy you will give them or how much easier their lives will be because you are doing your part at the end of the day may we be weary from the work we did to benefit others and not just ourselves remember what s written in matthew 25 40 i tell you the truth whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine you did for me tags women religion

with god a young teenage girl wrote to me recently and asked what exactly does it mean to fall in love with god do you get a tingly feeling like you would when you fall in love with a guy i was impressed with her question while many young girls her age are more interested in fashion and being a part of the in crowd this young girl wanted a better understanding of her relationship with god following is what i answered her i suppose people react differently when they fall in love depending on their personalities some may cry when they re told they are loved others feel a deep certainty that there will never be anyone as special as this person while others giggle and become effusive with joy there are all sorts of emotions however falling in love must go hand in hand with commitment you can love someone emotionally and then fall out of love with them emotionally on a trying day or week or year emotions come and go commitment is forever you choose to stay in love you choose to be faithful you choose to look for ways to keep falling in love with this person again and again that s what true love it s similar with god there are times when i m so emotionally in love with god that i just weep other times i m overwhelmed by his love for me and i find myself joyfully laughing yet most of the time i just feel a deep contentment in knowing that he is with me i feel secure in his love but i must also be committed to love him there are times in our lives when we are distracted by life and we may even begin to question our faith it s those times we must decide to stay committed and faithful no matter what we feel at the moment feelings can be wonderful emotions can be great but feelings and emotions are changeable we must be committed and faithful to god no matter what we
