No time to meditate on God or His word?! Sure I have! I have all day! Everywhere I look are things that start me thinking about Him and His ways.

Thinking On The Lord

Lord I love to think on You,

And all the wonderful things You do.

I love to think of victories won.

Of  my new life in God's Son.

I love to think about what's right and true.

And as I think on these things I fall in love again with You.

I love to think of songs that are sung about You.

I love to chase away worries thinking of  my God faithful and true.

Everything  seems to turn my mind toward thee.

I pray this is the way it will always be. Amen

I Love S'mores

I love s'mores. I have always liked crisp graham crackers, especially the cinnamon ones! And I don't know very many people who don't like chocolate. There are however some people who could take or leave marshmallows. But I am not one of them, I really like that white puffy stuff. But put them together and wow! What a dessert! It's funny even s'mores make me think of spiritual things. The graham cracker on the bottom makes me think how important it is to have Jesus as my foundation. Stale graham crackers crumble easy makes for a very poor s'more. Same thing if I don't daily build upon Jesus my firm foundation my walk starts to crumble. Ah the richness of chocolate! That reminds me of  who I belong to. God rich in mercy, love, provision, care, and more! When chocolate melts it is thick and flows out of the s'more. Reminding me of  God daily pouring His grace out on me rich and sweet. Then there is the marshmallow white and fluffy oozing out the sides. It reminds me of how wonderful it is to be saved. How when I first got saved I couldn't wait to tell people my testimony. How thanks to Jesus I can have a white robe of  when I stand before Father God. Then comes the graham cracker on top. It reminds me that there are treasures stored for me in heaven. And it reminds me that the same Jesus who is my firm foundation, is preparing a place for me in heaven. But just like with the graham cracker on the bottom if  it is stale it will crumble. If  I don't daily give my all to Jesus, God, the Holy Spirit my investment in heaven will crumble too. For when ever I neglect to spend time with God, or time in God's word, or in prayer, or praise my walk becomes weak. The more neglect the weaker it becomes and eventually it will crumble. All the ingredients for s'mores may run out. But the things of God are for ever! Hallelujah! I may not be able to make another smore, but I can always repent and come back to God. This doesn't give me a liscens to sin. For God knows my heart and my mind and He will not stand for deceitfulness. So I say all this to remind my self that when I don't think I have time in my busy life schedule for God; I really do. By the time I have eaten this s'more I have meditated on God and my heart gives thanks!

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14, Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things. Philippians 4:8
