No Such Thing as Bad Ice Cream!

“There’s no such thing as bad ice cream!,” is our friend George’s favorite sayings (and he stays skinny!). George will take chocolate or vanilla, strawberry or peach. Whether it is on a cone a cup or a milkshake, he is ready to sit down and take a moment to enjoy it. I think it would be safe to say that George delights in ice cream. When the writer of today’s verse tells us that he delights in God’s word, I am reminded of George. It makes me realize that no matter the situation that is handed to me this morning, that I can continue to delight in the promises of God. In fact I think we all could agree that, “There is no such thing as a bad promise of God!” Every promise is perfect, pure, eternal and though sometimes hard to swallow, they are always sweet in the end! Has God given you some special promises? Do you have a favorite?

Word Wednesday – Unfolding

The Hebrew root of the word “puthach” translated as unfolding in the NIV means: to open wide, loosen, plough or begin. Whichever of these we apply to this verse, God’s word can only be interpreted to us by God’s Spirit. As Jesus said, “the words I speak to you, are spirit and they are life.” John 6:63. If we want them to be a part of our life today we need to humbly ask Him and then listen with our hearts for His unfolding to give us light.
