Promises from God: December 2011
http://ruthspromisesfromgod.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 30, 2011. FORGIVENESS - the Key. Today is my wedding anniversary - 28years of not always wedded bless. What has helped us through some of those bad times has been a gift God has given us both - the GIFT OF FORGIVENESS. I was ready to fight, but I had another way of doing it. I was going to get a job with another Education Department - I was going to show them! I would move on - WITHOUT FORGIVENESS and heart still full of bitterness. I was a health risk! Now I was ready to fight. All ...

Promises from God: March 2011
http://ruthspromisesfromgod.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 23, 2011. I suppose you are waiting patiently to find out about my Job Interview. There isn't a lot to tell. From the train to Scripture Union offices, I had a fall, which consequently led to a panic attack; but through the grace of God, as I walked into the interview, all the blood and fears had disappeared. Unfortunately, although I felt the interview went quite well, I was told I lacked the confidence in my skills for the position. I guess this happens when you lose a job. This verse ...

Promises from God: April 2011
http://ruthspromisesfromgod.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 23, 2011. The Enstrangement from our Creator Has Been Healed. Let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes focused on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from start to finish. He was willing to die a shameful death on the cross because of the joy He knew would be His afterward. Now He is seated in the place of honor beside God's throne in Heaven." Hebrews 12:1b and 2. My precious princess, I am with you wherever you are. I am the friend who wal...

Promises from God: Producing Quality Fruit - Part 3
http://ruthspromisesfromgod.blogspot.com/2012/04/producing-quality-fruit-part-3.html
Friday, April 27, 2012. Producing Quality Fruit - Part 3. I am the True Vine and my Father is the Gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn't bear fruit and prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more." John 15:1&2 (NLT). Every year I would watch my husband pruning my orchids. At first, to a novice like myself this seemed unnecessary and counter productive, until later in the year when the new flowers came out. What a delight! B) I am not sure I want to be `replaced'...

Promises from God: February 2011
http://ruthspromisesfromgod.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 4, 2011. Be Careful of `False Prophets'. Lynn Austin has written a wonderful series of books about the three Kings in the Bible. Having read in 2 Kings 21 about Hezekiah's son Manasseh's rule, I wasn't sure I wanted to read Book 4. Manasseh was 12 years old when he became King. He did what was. Evil in the Lord's sight, imitating the detestable practices of the pagan. Nations." 2 Kings 2:1&2. He practiced sorcery and divination, and he consulted with mediums. What scares me most though, ...

Promises from God: January 2012
http://ruthspromisesfromgod.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 20, 2012. Trusting - Remembering Positive Trust Experiences. Before I begin, just remember you need to go back and read previous BLOGS so you are getting my `drift'. Have digressed a little, but I'm back on track again. I think! Trust in the Lord and do good, then you will live safely in the land and prosper. Take delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust Him and He will help you." Psalm 37:3-5. Thirty nine years ago I ...

Promises from God: Welcome to Abiding - Part 1
http://ruthspromisesfromgod.blogspot.com/2012/03/welcome-to-abiding-part-1.html
Saturday, March 31, 2012. Welcome to Abiding - Part 1. Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the Vine and you are the branches. He who abides in me and I in Him bears much fruit." John 15:4&5. In most Bibles this passage is entitled `Jesus - the True Vine'. Now I am not much of a gardener, so I don't know why I like this passage so much. I think it is the idea of `abiding with Jesus' that really gets me in. To `ABIDE' means to `...

Promises from God: Welcome to Abiding - Part 2
http://ruthspromisesfromgod.blogspot.com/2012/03/welcome-to-abiding-part-2.html
Saturday, March 31, 2012. Welcome to Abiding - Part 2. In Revelation 3:20 Jesus reminds us that He is standing at the door of our hearts, waiting for us to invite Him in, so we can abide with Him and He with us. Here I stand at the door and knock. If you hear me calling and open the door, I will come in and we will share a meal as friends." Revelation 3:20 (NLT). My friend Jesus also wants be to abide in Him so I can produce fruit. In vineyard terms:. I wasn't a good housewife, and it seemed I was never ...

Monday, February 27, 2012. GIVING AND TRUE HAPPINESS. There is so much truth to the well known saying,. It is more blessed to give than to receive". Before moving on to University in 1996, I had spent the previous 20 years as a volunteer - Scripture teaching, reading with children, teacher aiding and of course my children's ministry activities. I know that being prosperous is not evil. In fact the few wealthy people I know have worked really hard for what they have. They are also good savers....Recently ...
