Remembering the life of Kay Arthur today. So sad to hear of her passing!

At this day’s end I reflect on this week of beauty, opportunity and the glory of Jesus…..

Blessed endings prayed over for every heart this night….

Thinking on the moments in my life that have defined my faith…..

More than 20 years ago I joined a group of like-minded women in the Kay Arthur study- Lord, I want to know you~ a devotional study of the names of God.

We would learn the character, nature and attributes of God.

Kay Arthur declared the mission of this book was more than a devotional but instead a Biblical Study from Genesis to Revelation about the names of God.

Kay continues…

“If we are to glorify God, then we need to know His character, attributes and His Names. Kay explains all of this with the Bible as our only guide. You can then use these names, as Jesus taught, when you pray! Very important to those who belong to Him.”

Life-changing.

Transforming.

Empowering.

A deeper view and understanding that would change the way I pray, read my Bible and expected God to move in power!

Kay continues…..

“When you know God more fully by studying His names — Creator, Healer, Protector, Provider, and many others — you’ll gain power to stand strong. You’ll find strength for times of trial, comfort for pain, provision for your soul’s deepest needs. And your walk with God will be transformed.”

Once I began to see God revealed in His Word…. every part of who He is…. My life of faith grew to levels that I had never known. Real worship would carry me through the darkest day and elevate my faith on the mountaintop views!

So I have been sharing with the children of MRO this season…

“I Am: 40 Ways To Trust God”

A study that introduces children to the names of God.

This song has become my life-song this season.

When real life happens.
When trouble is real.
When pain has become a reality.
When the fight for life and living collide with faith. When the promises of God carry us. His song becomes real so very soul deep.

If we have no basis for “belief”. No absolutes. No truth. There is nowhere to run and no safe place to hide.

This I know…..

“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe.” Proverbs 18:10

Not sure where your heart lingers tonight but I DO know the Lord is near. Faithful. You are loved. You are His beloved creation and He longs for good in your life. You can run to, cling and find rest that while the world is unchanging- God is true to who He is ALWAYS!

I pray that your heart is cared for and that you know even more deeply the Love of our gracious God through His son Jesus Christ.
