A Complete Picture Pr 2:6

How often do we truly consider the totality of who God is, the full picture of His attributes, the completeness of His love for us, and the perfect plan He has in place for the world?

The Lord gives wisdom.
Who is the Lord? Think about it. How would you answer this question if someone were to ask?
Occasionally, my husband and I like to work on puzzles. It’s a fun, relaxing, together thing. The best part is when finally, after hours, days and even weeks of work, it comes down to only a dozen pieces left out of thousands. But, then the realization hits that you got about 95% of the pieces in the right place but there are a few areas that need to be adjusted. The pieces almost fit but not quite, it looked okay, yet when study the picture with a close eye it becomes clear that not all the pieces have been placed correctly.  To add to that, as you look around, you notice a stray piece on the floor. What you end up with is an almost complete picture.
How often do we truly consider the totality of who God is, the full picture of His attributes, the completeness of His love for us, and the perfect plan He has in place for the world? There really is so much to look at. When we’re weary, we come to God as sustainer. When we’re not sure which direction to turn, He leads us down the right path. There are infinite pieces of God’s character that all fit together. However, I am unable to fully comprehend how it all works. As we try to develop a more extensive thought of how we would describe the Lord, I for one, have a renewed appreciation and understanding of His magnificence and I am overwhelmed by His demonstration of love for me. I pray you join me in the quest of searching for a more complete view of God as we take a closer look at Proverbs 2:6.  Just click on the reference for more…

You know it's difficult to write about yourself. The most important fact I can disclose is that I'm saved by God's grace through faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. My desire is to live a life honoring to God in response for the gift of salvation I've been given. This is so much easier said than done! I struggle daily with right choices, right words, right thoughts, and right actions. My best and only defense against sin is the power of God in me and for that I am inexpressibly thankful. I have three amazing grown-up children who have responded to God's call in their lives along with their spouses. One of the great joys of my life is knowing my children and their families strive to serve and follow God. My grandchildren are another wonderful joy in my life! My husband and I are blessed with four beautiful grandchildren to date with another expected very soon on September 12th. We also are thankful for the comforting knowledge that an additional three of our grandchildren, a set of twins at three months gestation and a little boy, Isaac, at four and a half months gestation, are in our Savior's presence. I have attended the same church since the day my eyes were opened to Truth over thirty years ago. How fortunate it is to have been led by God’s hand immediately to a church body that follows the Bible, no man-made doctrines, just the Word clear and strong. My husband is my best friend, my confidant, my encourager, and I still can't believe how blessed I am by his example of love and generosity towards everyone around him. He is God-fearing, compassionate, and kind and I have learned so much from him. I am a daughter to my almost 92 year-old mother, sister to three brothers, a wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, aunt, great-aunt, neighbor and friend. That means, whomever is reading this, we probably have something in common! I love every unique role I have been placed in. I'm frequently stretched and sometimes feel like silly putty that wants to bounce right back into my comfort zone. My greatest ambition is to be a follower of Jesus; a light that shines for Him at all times, in all circumstances. So, there it is, a bit about me. I guess I was able to write about myself after all! However, my existence cannot be defined without Jesus Christ, my Lord and my Savior. His love has permeated my life to His glory and my eternal thankfulness.
