Happy Thanksgiving Precious and Loved Friends!

It’s been so refreshing to be in a season that reminds us to be thankful. Oh what this does to the heart of Jesus. In Luke 17:15-16 we see that only one leper came back to thank Jesus.

“One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.”

He didn’t just walk back up to Jesus. He threw himself at the feet of Jesus and thanked Him.

I want to be like that leper and lavishly thank Jesus for everything-from the littlest thing to the biggest. I want His heart to swell from acknowledging His goodness and kindness He sends my way every day! And not for what it does for me, but for what it does to Him. This is just one more way we can express our love to Him every day.

Blessings on your day! May we all be beacons of the glorious light of Jesus as we celebrate today!! ... See MoreSee Less

The Hebrew word for “rest” is “nu’ach” and it’s found 65 times in scripture. It means to rest, settle down, to be soothed or quieted, to be secure, to be still, to dwell peacefully.

Here it is in a couple of those scriptures:

Exodus 33:14 The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

Isaiah 63:14… they were given rest by the Spirit of the Lord.

I can rest my body from doing work, I can rest my body by going to sleep. But the truest of rest comes from the Holy Spirit, the very Presence of God. In that rest, I can be working, I can be in conflict and still be settled, quieted, secure, still.

Only the Holy Spirit can gives us this kind of rest, which means all I can do is receive it. That’s all the high priest could do in the Holy of Holies, where the Presence of God was found, is just receive. Mary received Jesus and simply listened to Him at His feet. To be in receptive mode is the nature of a Bride.

Our best position of battle is from a place of rest. Rest is one of our weapons. It’s where we are so settled and secure in who Jesus is, that we can be at peace in the midst of a storm. Just like Jesus.

As you go out this week, there are storms and battles brewing all around us. May we be in receptive mode, receiving Jesus wherever we go, whoever we encounter, whatever we hear.

Blessings on your Thanksgiving holiday! ... See MoreSee Less
