Logos

I have felt for sometime that the Lord wanted me to start writing. I have done some off and on and I enjoy the process and getting my thoughts down on paper (or the computer as it may be). A couple of years ago I started a family blog, filled with pictures and written accounts of our daily lives. It was fun and I enjoy chronicling our family's daily history. One day it will be fun to look back on it all and remember.

More recently, I have really felt led to write about the things that the Lord is showing me and it seems that He is prompting me to write fairly consistently. Not sure what all He intends to do with my writing. Maybe it is just a way to help me hear better from the Lord and what He is speaking to me about my life. It is certainly doing that. What He has pressed on my heart to write about in the last month are promises and words of encouragement that I have needed so much in the last couple of days since we learned that James lost his job.

About the blog title - Logos. In Greek it means promise or more specifically Words. In the Bible when the word promise is used it is actually the word Logos or Dabar (Greek and Hebrew). So a promise from the Lord is simply HIS spoken word. When the world was created God spoke it into being. His Word held the promise for our future existence. In John 1 it says, "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God." Or put another way, "In the beginning was the Promise and the Promise was with God and the Promise was God.". Much of what I feel driven to write about are the Promises or Logos of God.

My hope and prayer is that as others may read the words, they are renewed and encouraged by them. I desire to be an open book where others see the love of Jesus. I would love to hear if you agree, disagree, are encouraged or blessed by the words written here. If you know of any that would be encouraged by my words, please pass it along.

May the Promises of our Abba Father encourage and strengthen you today!
