Not Today Sheep Stealers!

-
Hey y'all, here's some scripture to lunch on today:

The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].
JOHN 10:10 AMP
https://bible.com/bible/1588/jhn.10.10.AMP

TPT version
A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect —life in its fullness until you overflow!
John 10:10 TPT
https://bible.com/bible/1849/jhn.10.10.TPT

MSG translation
Jesus told this simple story, but they had no idea what he was talking about. So he tried again. “I’ll be explicit, then. I am the Gate for the sheep. All those others are up to no good—sheep stealers, every one of them. But the sheep didn’t listen to them. I am the Gate. Anyone who goes through me will be cared for—will freely go in and out, and find pasture. A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.
John 10:6‭-‬10 MSG
https://bible.com/bible/97/jhn.10.6-10.MSG

I love how the TPT puts this scripture. It didn't just say the but rather the phrase, sheep stealers.

It's promises like this that shield me from the enemy especially when it feels like I'm surrounded and that negativety is everywhere I look. I'm so thankful to have such a great heavenly Father who takes such great care of us!

So will you allow yourself to be a stolen sheep? Much love and may peace be with you

Happy Sunday y'all! Here's today's scripture: Jesus Christ is [eternally changeless, always] the same yesterday and today and forever. HEBREWS 13:8 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/heb.13.8.AMP NIV translation Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/heb.13.8.NIV MSG translation Appreciate your pastoral leaders who gave you the Word of God. Take a good look at the way they live, and let their faithfulness instruct you, as well as their truthfulness. There should be a consistency that runs through us all. For Jesus doesn’t change—yesterday, today, tomorrow, he’s always totally himself. Hebrews 13:7‭-‬8 MSG https://bible.com/bible/97/heb.13.7-8.MSG Jesus, the Anointed One, is always the same—yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8 TPT https://bible.com/bible/1849/heb.13.8.TPT It's so great to me, very comforting, to know that God really is always the same! You don't have to worry abo

Ecclesiastes 12 2020

  Hey y’all, and welcome to this month’s Ecclesiastes blog post.   This month is chapter 12 and talks about obeying God’s commandments before your youth leaves you.     ECCLESIASTES 12 1 Don’t let the excitement of youth cause you to forget your Creator. Honor him in your youth before you grow old and say, “Life is not pleasant anymore.”  2 Remember him before the light of the sun, moon, and stars is dim to your old eyes, and rain clouds continually darken your sky.  3 Remember him before your legs—the guards of your house—start to tremble; and before your shoulders—the strong men—stoop. Remember him before your teeth—your few remaining servants—stop grinding; and before your eyes—the women looking through the windows—see dimly. 4 Remember him before the door to life’s opportunities is closed and the sound of work fades. Now you rise at the first chirping of the birds, but then all their sounds will grow faint. 5 Remember him before you become fearful of falling and worry abo

Thankfully Scorched!

So I embarked on a SURPRISING adventure yesterday! Shall we say it was definitely a "Monday" yesterday? It started out as usual, I got the kids up and off to school, was making breakfast for my husband, and then the phone rang. My son had thrown up on the bus and so we needed to go pick him up as soon as we could. Thankfully, he wasn't sick with something, just a bad tummy moment. When we got home, I finished making breakfast for my husband, and got him off to work. The sun was shining bright, gorgeous temp out, it was the perfect fall day to get outside stuff done and I was doing it! I decided I was going to start with the brush pile because I could keep adding to it while I was doing other stuff; you know, multitasking. Well, as soon as we were outside, kids are already fussing and fighting. This gave me the sense of urgency! I had to get stuff done quick and fast. The Holy Spirit inside me kept telling me to slow down but I simply didn't listen. I lit th
