Love Find a Way 1/29-31/20

29-31 January 2020 - Love Find a Way – Manna by Dorothy Callies

“No greater love than this that a man lay down his life for his friend.”

(I memorized this by heart.)

Song: Love Found a Way

Love found a way

     to redeem my soul,

Love found a way

     that could make me whole;

Love sent my Lord

     to the cross of shame,

Love found a way,

     O praise His holy name!

(Lyrics: Avis Burgeson Christiansen,

 Sing His Praise)

Just continue to believe on His Word of promise. So thank you for continuing prayers for Tony and me .

Grace Abound 1/21-28/20

21-28 January 2020 - Grace Abound – Manna by Dorothy & Tony Callies

2 Cor. 9:8 “God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that you . . . may abound to every good work.” From Bread Box

At night stand, I picked the verse that one impressed me before I went to bed. I quote this Scripture to put in my heart before I sleep. I searched the word, abound.  I like the meaning of this choice: abundantly supplied like a stream abounding in fish.  To me that’s a good thought.

 So I envision this: His grace gives me abundantly supplied with strength that I sorely need so that I may be abundantly supplies to help Tony with every good work according to his needs as well as mine. I appreciate your encouragement very much as you abundantly supplied with words of comfort and supportive in prayer. 

God bless you!

When You Pray 1/16-20/20

16-20 January 2020 - When You Pray – Manna by Dorothy & Tony Callies

Mark 11:24 “Therefore I say unto you, What things (you) desire when (you) pray, believe that (you) receive them, and (you) shall have them” (KJV ye=you).

Jesus’ word encourages me, “ . . . shall not doubt in his (your) heart, but shall believe that those things which (you) said shall come to pass; (you) shall have whatsoever (you) said” (KJV he=you) Mark 11:23.

Psalm 37:4 “Delight yourself also in the Lord; and He shall give you the desire of your heart.”  Three different verses encourages me to build the desires of my heart when I pray. 

I came to remember the article I paste up on the kitchen cabinet. It was written about our personal confession of healing; “By His stripes I am healed.” We meditate on it: By whose stripes ye were healed . . . by whose stripes ye were healed.  We take it and chew on it.  We masticate (grind or crush with teeth before swallow it) it, digest (convert food like think it over) it, get it down inside us, and build it unto us because we believe it.

“. . . We’re going to walk in that divine healing, that divine health, that divine life! That’s good.  That’s faith.” Written by anonymous since I didn’t write who wrote it. 

I am trusting the Lord for Tony's healing and mine to be strong in Him. 

May the Lord bless you!

In Quietness 1/1-15/20

01-15 January 2020 – In Quietness – Manna by Dorothy Callies

Isaiah 30:15 “. . . in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength . . .”

I was reading devotion looking for reason and I chose words and point it out for myself.  “Remember that your life is an integral (needed for completeness) part of God’s plan. So don’t become unduly (excessive or get too much) upset over the minor (small things) inconveniences (things mess up) of life, and don’t worry too much about today’s setbacks—they are temporary.”

“Make time to be still before God. Use the quiet moment to offer thanksgiving and praise to our Creator.  During those moment of stillness, I pray to sense the love and wisdom of God in all the crisis situation I am facing each day.”  Here’s a song that blessed me so much.

Song: Blessed Quietness

Blessed quietness, holy quietness,

What assurance (promise) in my soul!

On the stormy sea, He speaks peace to me;

How the billows cease to roll!

  ASL (Awesome waves become still!)

(Lyrics: Manie Payne Ferguson, Sing His Praise)

God bless you,

Dorothy
