Glory Seed Guidelines

Notice – The ministries featured in this section of TheologyWeb are guests of this site and in some cases not bargaining for the rough and tumble world of debate forums, though sometimes they are. Additionally, this area is frequented and highlighted for guests who also very often are not acclimated to debate fora. As such, the rules of conduct here will be more strict than in the general forum. This will be something within the discretion of the Moderators and the Ministry Representative, but we simply ask that you conduct yourselves in a manner considerate of the fact that these ministries are our invited guests. You can always feel free to start a related thread in general forum without such extra restrictions. Thank you.

These daily devotionals are brought to you by Gary Piper, a writer with our Sister Site, Natural Spirit Ministries. TheologyWeb encourages you to visit and support their site.... they have many informative articles which can be discussed right here. If you enjoy Gary Piper's devotionals, please send him an encouraging note or post. We are very appreciative of our partnership with Natural Spirit Ministries and look forward to many more co-ventures.

    Glory Seed Devotional’s, 2017: Anticipating and Experiencing God...
    Isaiah 43…
    Shalom!


    When it rains it pours! I am not sure you’re familiar with that phrase or not. I first became familiar with it on a box of Morton Salt (I think it was anyway) but over the years I discovered it can also apply to our lives. And it rain and poured in our lives as recently as this past Sunday! Patti had her right knee replaced two weeks ago tomorrow (prayers work because she is doing wonderful) and then Sunday the 24th I was reaching in the closet to get my Sunday-go-meeting clothes and SNAP! And something snapped in my middle of my back, it took my breath away and put me on my knees, and the rain turned from a gentle rain to a full-blown rainstorm. So, Monday and Tuesday all I did was sit in my chair and to nothing. Then yesterday Patti insisted I find out what happened and my son and daughter-in-law hauled me to the ER to find I had a compression fracture,

    Does anyone remember the slogan for Ipana Toothpaste? It went “you wonder where the yellow went you brush your teeth with Ipana Toothpaste.” I didn’t do-nothing Monday and Tuesday like I said because God didn’t immediately come to take my pain away I prayed, “You wonder where God went when gentle rain turns to a full-blown rainstorm?” If you’ve ever had an experience where it seemed God was a million miles away you already know He was so close couldn’t see Him. Because that was where He was for me Monday and Tuesday why it just gave us the “stuff” to endure rather than fix my pain is beyond me, but after eating a little “crow alacarte” I thanked Him for His presence with me the past 3 days and throughout the healing process.

    The entire experience has left me wondering why I temporarily keep forgetting the promise in the early verses of Isaiah 43. “…Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.” (Isaiah 43:1–2, NLT)

    “God, I promise to do better at remembering the next time! Amen.” Gary…

    “May God be merciful and bless us. May his face smile with favor on us.” **
    Grace and PEACE,
    Gary

    Amen Gary!!! I was blessed by your post because that Scripture from Isaiah was perfect for my soul today. You seem to always know the right Scripture to quote.
    3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures --1 Corinthians 15:3-4 (borrowed with gratitude from 37818's sig)
