Revelation 2:4 - "But this I have against you, that you have left your first love."
When I began my journey on studying the book of Revelation, I had no idea what the Lord was going to show me. Of course, the obvious things like the tribulation and the last days I expected to learn about. Then I came to chapter 2 when the Lord begins writing to the seven churches who really Lindsey J.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02217091451322228045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4308822510645623282.post-64542116140160324032014-02-18T13:17:00.000-08:002014-02-18T13:18:43.242-08:00Potty Training and the Glory of Christ I know what you're thinking, "Wow Lindsey, you're really stretching it.

Having two boys makes for lots of fun memories and this is definitely one of them! Solomon and Gio pretty much play outside everyday and I usually hear them making noise and running around. This day I noticed they were unusually quiet so I thought for sure they doing something they shouldn't be doing.

The last few months God has been burdening my heart to learn what it truly means to worship Him. I've been blessed to inherit many of my dad's books from his library and quite a few are specifically written on worship.

Solomon has yet to turn 5, but he already came running to me this morning shouting, "Mommy, my tooth came out!That's amazing! (just like his papa used to say)". It's funny to think about how you can actually be excited about losing a tooth. Can you imagine if as adults we were still like that?

As I was listening to my father's sermon online, the Lord put it on my heart to begin posting pieces of them kind of like a devotional. I pray God continues to use my dad to bring souls to Christ and proclaim His name.

Our human nature in all of its falleness, tells us that we always have to be physically doing something in order to help - either ourselves or someone else. Yes, it is good to physically help someone if the opportunity presents itself- bring them a meal, help them with household chores; but sometimes the only thing - and the BEST thing - you can do is PRAY.

We just got through the beginning of chapter 11 where Jesus raises Lazarus.
One thing that stood out to me was in verses 5 and 6 it says, "Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So when He heard that he was sick, He then stayed two days longer in the place where He was."

As Thanksgiving rolls around once again, I think of all the answered prayer over the past years and how thankful I should be. Not only have I been given new life in and through Jesus Christ, but He continues to hear the cries of my needy soul. Here is a compilation of some writings of Charles Spurgeon on the subject of prayer:

At first, I was in a little shock so it didn't quite hit me right away exactly what that meant. This was a surprise to us, but not to God. He has preordained this to happen before the earth was created, and we know it's only for our good and because of His love for us.

The best workouts are when two days later you discover a muscle you didn't even know you had because it is so sore! You worked that muscle so hard and you have evidence of your hard work even days later. To me it's kind of the same with our service to the Lord. When we labor and stretch ourselves for the Lord we feel it!
