Thoughts on the Lord's Day!

Today is not really the original day that God called the sabbath. Today is, however a day set aside to rest from the everyday toil of life. It is also a day that the Lord has made and we have the awesome privilege to rejoice and be glad in it. We worship on Sundays and try to rest on Sunday giving one day in seven back to the Lord. I personally love Sundays, I love the church of Jesus Christ, I love the people that make up HIS bride, and most of all I love the presence of God. Popa and I traveled through a lot of wind yesterday...in fact almost every mile was windy. It was difficult at some points to keep the motorcycle pointing straight ahead....I wish the wind of the Holy Spirit would blow that strong in my life. I received an email from a friend this morning and she was talking about being righteous, God has been talking to me about righteousness and what it really means. God is looking for people who will live "right" before HIM in all of their ways. God heard Job's prayers for his three friends because he was righteous man. Take heart faithful people, God wants to blow across our lives with the wind of HIS Spirit, to release a new level of faith as we walk righteously and to help us enter into a sabbath rest.

I was impacted today (Monday) by Psalm 112 and have seen you two living it out and teaching it to me through the years. With some paraphrasing...
"Praise the Lord!
Blessed are the ones who fear the Lord
Who delight greatly in His commandments.
Their descendants will be mighty on earth
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches will be in their house, and their righteousness
endures forever
Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness;
They are gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
A good man and woman deal graciously and lend;
They will guide their affairs with discretion.
Surely they will never be shaken; The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance...
will not be afraid of evil tidings; ..their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
their hearts are established, they will not be afraid....
They have dispersed abroad, they have given to the poor,
their righteousness endures forever,
their horn (strength) will be exalted with honor." Psalm 112:1-9
