Pure Words



"The Words of the Lord are PURE words, Like silver, tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times. You shall keep them, O Lord, You shall preserve them from this generation forever."


-Psalm 12:6-7 


Outside the pottery studio 
I read this verse last week and made a list of words that could be used to describe the words of the Lord. Some that came to my mind were these: untarnished, spotless, undefiled, unfailing, perfect, magnificent, shimmering, sparkling, reflective, righteous,  up-lifting, instructive, whole, unhindered, piercing to the quick, wholesome, delightful, convicting, beautiful, awe-inspiring, encouraging, correct, right, unwavering, steadfast, indefatigable, inexhaustible, and true.











My sister and I are taking a pottery class right now. I took a few pictures at our last lesson. It is so much fun to make something from scratch, from the raw clay into a beautiful pot, bowl or vase.






"Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—
meditate on these        things." 


-Philippians 4:8

Walking with Christ

From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” John 6: 66-67 What does it mean to walk with Christ? I asked this question today. To walk means to move, to go from one physical place to another. Unless you are walking on a treadmill and then you literally go nowhere! To walk with someone else you have to keep up with their pace, whether they walk slower or faster than you. To walk with Christ we need to watch Him and match our stride with His. Not lagging behind, yet also not walking too far ahead of Him either. I know I tend to run ahead to the future in my thoughts and not always listen to what the Lord tells me in the His Word, the Bible. Who are some people who walked with God? Abraham is one who comes to mind. When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.” Genesis 17:1 Abraham walked so closely with God ...

Called, Chosen and Faithful

 “...and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.” (Revelation 17:14b) The saints are called, chosen and faithful. It makes me think of Revelation chapter 19:11, where Christ is described as Faithful and True. Amazing to think that we will also share this attribute of being faithful to Him! We are called to follow Him and serve Him. Chosen, His Bride, who will be dressed in fine linen, robes of righteousness.  (Revelation 19:8)  “And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.”  Revelation 22:3-4  Such encouraging words to meditate on! One day the curse of sin will be broken, and we shall serve at the throne of God and the Lamb.  We will see His beautiful face, the One whom we hid our faces from (Isaiah 53:3) We will see Him and...
