God's Blank Check Book: a Quote by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman

This is another one of my 2025 morning devotions, from A Treasury of Wisdom: a Daily Devotional Journal, that touched my heart, and I wanted to share it with you. Mrs. Cowman actually had gotten this beautiful piece from something (pastor) Dr. A. B. Simpson had written. But I think if we keep this in mind every day, we will never look at God's name "I am that I am" the same way again. Once more, I will break this down so you can see, more easily, how beautiful this is.

Mrs. Charles E. Cowman Quote from Dr. A. B. Simpson:

God gave Moses a blank check, and as life went forward for the next forty years, Moses kept filling in the blank with his special need.

He filled in fearlessness before Pharaoh.

He filled in guidance across the Red Sea.

He filled in manna for the whole population.

He filled in water from the rock.

He filled in guidance through the wilderness.

He filled in victory over the Amalek.

He filled in clear revelation in Sinai.

And so Moses, for the rest of his life, had little else to do than to go quietly alone, and taking God's blank check book, signed by God's name, I AM THAT I AM, wrote in I AM guidance; I AM bread. He presented the check and God honored it.

And whenever you come in to live upon God's plan as Moses from that moment did, you may absolutely trust God. And when you come down to the end you will say,

"Not one good thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you" (Joshua 23:14).

I hope you find this as comforting and feel God's love and presence as much as I did when I read this. May you be richly blessed by all of God's blank checks from this point on.

In Jesus' powerful and holy name,

Patricia

New Christian T-shirts Designed and Listed on Etsy

I just finished designing a couple of Christian T-shirts and listing them on Etsy. You can read more about these and keep up with new arrivals on my Digital Potpourri Blog. If you have a custom request, you can contact us via Etsy messages . We'll be happy to try to produce a t-shirt to your liking as long as there is nothing profane, vulgar, immoral, licensed, trademarked or involving hate related to the design. One of the tees reads Love Obey Trust with bible books, chapters, and verses that coincide with these words. The other states God Lives Here with "Here" inside a heart shaped from mini hearts. So, basically 2 messages. God Lives and He lives in our hearts. 😇 Thanks for dropping by to read my updates today, Patricia

Finally a Few Nice Days in a Row

I've been waiting and waiting for spring temps to arrive for more than a couple of days without rain. And this is the week! We finally have some color in the yard and on our deck. So, I want to share what my husband, son, and I have been up to for the last few days. First of all, we had our first cookout on Sunday, April 28 to celebrate our younger son's birthday. That officially kicks off spring. I mixed the first batch of hummingbird nectar a couple of weeks ago, hoping the males would take advantage while the females were tending to their nests. As far as we can tell, 1 male has visited twice. Of course, we can't look out the window all of the time. But we do look out frequently. And we hang them in 2 locations that we can see directly from the kitchen windows. The rose bushes started blooming about a week ago, and I finally had time to take pictures of them. I pulled out the grass and weeds that were growing around them a couple of hours after I took the front-facing ...

Image Pixels to Inches, Flip Image, and Increasing DPI

Image Pixels to Inches, Flip Image, and Increasing DPI These are simple tips I want to share with those of you who are like me and do not have fancy programs to help when needing to convert pixels to inches, find out how many pixels an image has, and increase DPIs for better print quality. My tips are based on a Windows 11 OS and may not work on other systems. However, you may be able to do an internet search to explore your OS options based on the information I have provided below. I do not receive any compensation from these two sites listed. I use them because they are easy, free, and safe to use. These tips are helpful if you need to quickly figure how many pixels you need for a certain number of inches so you can print the right size every time without guessing and wasting printer ink until you do get it right. Also, sometimes, a print needs to be flipped (mirrored, reversed) for transfers. And last but not least, if you’re selling printable items, a higher DPI is needed for ...
