Wednesday in the Word: He Careth For You

-
 Posted this today at  KJV Blog Directory.

In I Peter 5:7, Peter reminds us to cast "all your care upon him, for he careth for you," speaking of Jesus, of course. We usually read that verse and fail to consider how Peter knew that we could cast all our care upon Jesus, because He cares for us. Of course, Peter wrote this verse under inspiration of God, but he also knew this verse was true, based upon personal experience.

Consider these miracles that Jesus had performed for Peter:

~ Jesus healed Peter's mother-in-law (Matthew 8:14,15)

~ Jesus enabled Peter to catch many fish (Luke 5:1-11 & John 21:1-8)

~ Jesus provided tribute money for taxes by catching a fish with a coin in its mouth (Matthew 17:24-27)

~ Jesus walked on water and then enabled Peter to walk on water (Matthew 14:22-23)

~ Jesus healed Malchus' ear after Peter had cut it off (Luke 22:50-55)

~ Jesus delivered Peter from prison (Acts 12)

Peter could instruct us with confidence that God cares for us, because he had experienced God's care and provision so many times in his life! When we stop to think about the things God has done for us, maybe even write some of them down, we can be reassured that we truly can cast all our care upon Him, for He cares for us!

What are some things God has done for you? Can you assure someone, based on personal experience, that God cares for them?

    This is one of my favorite scripture verses. It was written in a sympathy card to me by my uncle, who was a minister, in 1984, after the death of my 2 year old son. I never forgot it.

    :o)

    Happy Easter.

A Week of Modest Dress

The rest of this series can be found at these links: Friday , Saturday , Sunday , Monday , Tuesday , Wednesday . Some ladies around the Blogosphere have been posting pictures of themselves going about their everyday routine in dresses. Many of us ladies wear dresses and skirts all the time, and others have asked how we play with our children, do our housework, exercise, in dresses. Candy decided to show some ladies doing just that on her blog, and asked for ladies to post pics on their blogs too. This kind of thing appeals to me, so I had to get in on the action on this one. I'll post pics each day for a week (if I can keep my son Andrew taking pictures!), and you'll see a little bit of our life as a pastor's family, as well as see how another lady and her daughter (though not so many pics of her - she's camera shy!) live out their conviction of modest dress in their everyday lives. Here I am this morning, as Samuel and I left the house for our walk. I alterna

Building An Effective Scripture Journal

Have you ever had a dream that you were witnessing to someone, and you turned to a familiar passage of Scripture, only to find it missing from your Bible? No matter how much you searched for it, it just wasn't there? No? Maybe I'm the only one who has had a dream like that, but maybe in real life, you've wondered where to find a certain Scripture for a specific problem, but you couldn't remember where to find it. Yes, there are concordances to look up key words, but it would be nice if you just had your own topical reference so you could look up Scripture passages that mean the most to you and the issues you face in daily life. I reviewed the book What Do I Know about My God? by Mardi Collier several weeks ago. I am convinced this is the best book I've ever read on making God and His Word real in your life. Mrs. Collier writes about getting to know God better through writing out Scripture verses that have to do with His character and attributes. Begin

Meet My Bible

I first saw this several months ago on Jessica's Journal , who found it at Amy's Place , and I knew I wanted to do it here. I'm just now getting to it. They don't call me the Queen of Procrastination for nothing! Please feel free to join me in this meme. If you do, leave a comment and let me know. I'd love to read about your Bible too! 1) How old is your Bible? Almost 9 years old; Wes gave it to me for my birthday in 2000. 2) Why did you choose this Bible? I wanted a wide-margin Bible so I could take sermon notes in it, and I wanted one with no notes or cross-references so I could make my own. I've used either a Zondervan or an Old Scofield for all my teen and adult life, and I would always get distracted reading the footnotes instead of the actual Bible text. 3) Do you hightlight/mark passages? I underline and circle things rather than highlight them. 4) If so what is your system? I simply underline things that speak to my heart. I will often cros
