Blessed Justice and Righteousness

Posted on June 2, 2021 by Shirlee Abbott

God calls us to act justly and live righteously.

Where do you fall on the justice and righteousness scale? As for me, I fall a bit short.

OK, maybe a lot short. I’m a just and righteous work-in-progress.

God of Justice and Righteousness

Posted on June 1, 2021 by Shirlee Abbott

The words “justice” and “righteousness” often appear in the same Bible verse. They go together.

Our God is perfectly just and perfectly righteous.

And it looks like love.

Remember the Heroes

Posted on May 31, 2021 by Shirlee Abbott

Inspired by the view from Pike’s Peak, Katharine Lee Bates jotted down her first draft of “America the Beautiful” in 1893. The third verse, quoted here, comes from a later version of the poem. It’s perfect for Memorial Day.

Let’s pray for continued mercy, noble success and divine gain.

Listen Wisely

Posted on May 28, 2021 by Shirlee Abbott

 


Do you want to be wise? Listen.

 

 

Proverbs 19:20 (ERV)
Listen to advice and accept discipline;
then you, too, will become wise.

Listen to whom? God.

Proverbs 2:6-7
 The Lord is the source of wisdom; knowledge and understanding come from his mouth.  He gives good advice.

Listen x2

Posted on May 26, 2021 by Shirlee Abbott

 


Peter, James and John heard God say, “Listen!”

 

 

Mark 9:7
Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!”

Listen to God the Father. He’s telling you to listen to His Son.
