Salvation Is A Blessing
Yesterday, I had an awful headache. Today I have a bit of a rebound headache, but I am feeling much better. Thank you to everyone who said a prayer for me. I am helping an elderly neighbor of mine clean house and do some errands today.

Feasting On The Word of God   (E)
This is for a Bible study group.

A new Bible study will be posted Monday, Armor of God - Who Is Our Enemy?

Question: Would anyone be interested in a scripture memorization activity? If so, do you have any ideas of how we can do something like that on here short of posting a scripture memory verse of the week? Although, I have thought about doing that too.

Take UP Your Cross


Prompt:
Romans 4:6-8
6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

What are these verses saying?

Answer:
Salvation is a blessing. Salvation is not obtained by works, but by Faith in Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 2:8-10
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Scripture writing - Psalm 61:1-5


Scripture:
1 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.
5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

Observations:
Verse 1- The psalmist is asking God to hear their prayer.
Verse 2- Whenever we feel overwhelmed, we can cry out to God from wherever we are. He plants our feet on higher, solid ground.
Verse 3- God has always been a shelter and refuge for the psalmist.
Verse 4- We can always choose to take refuge in God.
Verse 5- God has heard what we have promised him and we will receive all the blessings he gives to all those that fear him.

Application:
God is our hiding place and refuge.

Prayer:
Dear God,
Hide me in there. Plant my feet on solid and higher ground. Be my security.
In Jesus’s name,
Amen

Prompt:
Happy Ostara!
Do you have plans this spring, now that the vaccine is real? Travel? Gardening? Activities?

No, I don't have any plans at the moment. I need to get my health issues resolved first. That is my priority. However, I would love to go on a nature walk or 2 and take some awesome pictures.

the house will gleam anew,/ jaundiced clapboards covered by a sea of blue.

Write about an old house being remodeled.

When I was in my late 30’s, my parent's house that I grew up in from infancy was in very bad shape while my parents were still living in it. They did not keep it in good repair. I had tried to talk them into moving or repairing the old house for several years, but they just wouldn't hear it.

One day my aunt, Dad's sister, came for a visit from out of state. After she saw the condition of the house, she got the family organized to get my parents into a better place. Again, I tried to warn them, but they just wouldn't listen to me.

To make a long story short, my aunt’s daughter got my dad to sign over power of attorney to her and convince my mother to do the same. My mom had fallen and broken her arm and had just gotten out of the hospital from having surgery on it to have pins put in. I don't feel she was in her right mind until at least a couple weeks after the fact, but I have no way to prove it. As a result, they were moved to an elderly independent living apartment and the house was sold.

Later, out of curiosity, I looked the house up online to see if it had been placed back on the market yet. It had, and I was shocked. Pictures were also posted. It had been completely remodeled. I would have never dreamed it could look like that in a million years. A 3 bedroom flat ranch house was converted into a 2 bedroom house. The bedrooms and bathrooms were on the opposite side of the house than they used to be. It looked like an entirely different house. It had beautiful wooden floors and the kitchen was now where my bedroom used to be. The old front porch had been converted into a patio. It was absolutely beautiful.
