Tell My Story

Posted on July 28, 2023 by Shirlee Abbott

God is writing my story. It’s unique.
because I’m unique.

I love to tell my story. Let me tell you
what God has done for me.

Tell the Children

Posted on July 27, 2023 by Shirlee Abbott

Psalm 145:4 (NLT)
Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts;
let them proclaim your power.

 

My generation should tell the next generation about the power of God.

 

 

I’m working on it. How about you?

Tell the Truth

Posted on July 24, 2023 by Shirlee Abbott


My church has invited a few children who don’t know much about Jesus and the Bible to join us every morning this week. We’re offering fun, food, crafts and Bible lessons. We’re following in the psalmist’s steps:

Psalm 78:2-4 (NLT)
I will teach you hidden lessons from our past—
stories we have heard and known,
stories our ancestors handed down to us.
We will not hide these truths from our children;
we will tell the next generation
about the glorious deeds of the Lord,
about his power and his mighty wonders.

Truth from God’s Word . . . pass it on!

Inspired Intelligence

Posted on July 7, 2023 by Shirlee Abbott

Predictive intelligence anticipates my words and starts typing them (I’ll choose my own, thank you very much). It’s got me thinking about the Bible.


2 Peter 1:21 (TLB)
For no prophecy recorded in Scripture was ever thought up by the prophet himself. It was the Holy Spirit within these godly men who gave them true messages from God.


The Spirit is the power behind the words in Scripture, and yet each writer’s unique style shines through: David’s beautiful poetry, Isaiah’s interesting images, Mark’s quick action, Paul’s complex thoughts. Inspired ideas, not word-for-word dictation.

“Almighty God, give me wisdom to perceive You, intelligence to understand You, diligence to seek You, patience to wait for You, eyes to behold You, a heart to meditate upon You and life to proclaim You, through the power of the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.”
Benedict of Nursia (480-543}

Divine Intelligence

Posted on July 5, 2023 by Shirlee Abbott

 

Artificial intelligence (AI) takes our technology to another level. Love it or hate it, AI is big deal. 

But . . . 

 

1 Corinthians 2:16 (GNT)
As the scripture says, “Who knows the mind of the Lord? Who is able to give him advice?” We, however, have the mind of Christ.

We have divine intelligence. It takes us to another level. What a blessing!
