Spolight 4 Learn PS 78:1-4 O my people, hear my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter hidden things, things from of old-what we have heard and known, what our fathers have taught us. We will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, His powers and wonders He has done. Proverbs 8:10 (Speaking about wisdom) Choose instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold. There are many ways to learn. College is not…

1 Peter 1:8 Though you have not seen Him, you love Him. Even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy. I am a Catholic; however, I worship with my non-Catholic friends, as well. My mother Ruthie, taught me that my Jesus has no denomination. Praying the Rosary is very prominent in my heritage. In 1918,at 2 years of age, my mother lay in a coma, due to meningitis. The doctor told my Granny Edith, to prepare to call the undertaker. In faith, Granny prayed…

His Grace is sufficient. Isaiah 33:6 He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of The Lord (knowledge) is the key to this treasure. Do you ever wish that you could go back and correct the immature mistakes from your teen/college years? After 12 years of nuns, I broke loose a bit. Although I didn’t believe in everything that was shoved down my throat, my faith and deep belief in Christ, was very strong. I dated some real weirdos; guys that were handsome on the outside…

Ps.46:10 Be still and know that I AM GOD. I will be exalted in this earth. Ps.56 3-4 When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God whose word I trust, I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?………Ya Think? I built my possible situation into a huge mountain. My husband was facing a joint replacement, which is not that big of a deal in this day and age. I was facing another event that made me totally apprehensive. My brain was in a funk. I…

For God so loved the world. Genesis 1: 26 Then God said, ”Let us make man in our own (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) image and likeness. Let them rule over all creatures, the fish in the sea, and the birds in the air. So God created man in His own image. He created them male and female.” My youngest son has a great deal of spiritual depth. We had a conversation recently about the following: Our minds cannot fully grasp the glory of God, and the creation of the universe. Somewhere, there is a possibility of: * Other galaxies * Creatures unlike…

A path can look like any stretch we choose to walk/follow. Some are straight, wide, and ambling roadways; others are crooked, narrow, and practically vertical! Each will lead us somewhere but the amount of strength and perseverance will vary greatly. What does your path look like? The one less traveled with thorns, brush, and difficult navigation could very well be the one God has called you to travel! Father God, walk this path with me, catch me when I ustumble or fall. Heal the brokenness in me. For all who read these words please pour out blessings. Amen Sandra…

I am sure you have heard the expression, “that’s ugly”, but have you ever really stopped and thought about those words? I shy away from calling a person ugly, beauty is defined very differently from person to person; but actions can be very ugly. Today I experienced ugly! During my shift at work a woman came to pick up her prescription and became so angry and hostile because her insurance wouldn’t cover it, she was too early in refilling, and she didn’t want to pay anything out of pocket. She yelled, accused…

As I previously shared, my first marriage was a “train wreck about to happen” due to both of our childhoods. I didn’t trust men and he didn’t trust women. Plus, he was twice divorced which should have been my clue but I was too naive and stubborn. I was so determined to be the ‘perfect’ wife I completely lost me in the mix. I tried to keep him happy, doing for him, and all the while I forgot about me. At the same time that I was trying so hard-he was…

Several years ago a friend shared some irises with me and I planted them in my yard. They didn’t bloom until this year. Timing is very interesting and it is all God’s. Why do things happen when they do? Why do we have to wait for so many things in life? I can’t answer those, but I know God has this and is taking care of all things. People and illness, heartache, sin, and broken lives. Please join me in praying for all who suffer. Thank you Lord, may the lost be found, the…

Then we are heirs-heirs of God. Romans 8:17 Heirs-one who inherits or is entitled to inherit property So, currently you cannot turn on the news, go to Google, or almost any social media, without seeing or hearing something about the royals and the upcoming wedding or the impending birth of the new prince or princess due this spring. We all know something about this royal family; a queen, her husband, the prince who is the ‘first in line’ for the throne, grandsons, great-grandchildren, more greats to come. so on and so forth. We hear…

For God so loved the world…. John 3:16 God has blessed us with beauty all around. I had the privilege to sit and enjoy some peace at a local garden center plus fellowship with some wonderful women! God has blessed us greatly with beauty in flowers and friends! Thank you Lord for hearing our prayers and providing guidance for what we need…

Deut. 28:1-2 If you fully obey The Lord your God, and follow all of His commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. All these blessings will come upon you, and accompany you, if you obey The Lord your God. MY GOD HAS SUCH A SENSE OF HUMOR! If anyone told me a few years ago, that I would be building a Devotional Blog entitled ”Entrusted Wisdom,” I would have laughed in their face. When a General gives you a command, the only answer you can…

Philippians 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with prayer and thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. In my youth, my pursuit was faith, family and pursuing my education. As a young bride, my pursuit was faith, family, marriage, and motherhood. Rebuilding my life became a fearless pursuit: Pursuing God’s wisdom, courage and going back to school. In middle age, I was not only a classroom teacher, but ministered to many, as God ordered At 68, my fearless pursuit is faith, family, and this amazing journey through which he has…
