Meditations to Enhance Your Faith

Book Cover & Preview Text
The God of all the universe knows and loves everyone, even if many do not yet know or love Him. How do I know this? He sent His only Son to live on earth, to die a horrible death, be raised from the dead and then to live again with Him in heaven. That’s the God who loves me and has guided me throughout my life, even when I’ve not followed Him. If you believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior, you can call this mighty God your Father, just as I do.
This wonderful God has taught me many lessons through the years from ordinary activities, nature, other people and biblical examples. I stand amazed at how my loving Father gives me new thoughts of how to live for Him and to grow more into Jesus’ likeness. Even though I still have a long way to go, this Father of multitudes has me share these lessons through email and opens other eyes to benefit from words I write. As the teenagers would say, “It blows me away!”
Follow the numerous ways the God of all comfort has walked beside me in difficult times, as well as the good ones. He gives joy where for a short time happiness only visited occasionally. I thought I knew what patience was when I sewed interesting dress patterns regularly and sometimes felt like I’d ripped more than I’d sewn. Then God showed me how simple those lessons were and how badly needed for the application that came next. My heavenly Father also gave a simple but long-remembered lesson on forgiveness to prepare me for a time when that example would seem quite superficial.
Why do I mention myself so much? Because I know that what a merciful, holy God has done for me, He will do as well for you. The wonder of God’s mercy and love can never be adequately explained, but it can be known; not fully known as we will recognize it in heaven but known nevertheless and experienced in our daily lives now. Read comments from people who receive my email meditations, which are included in Words Of Worth.
Thank you for sending me these devotionals. Your writing has always blessed me. You have a special talent that God has blessed you with. (He Leads Me in Paths of Righteousness).
I think this is one of your best! I really like it because it demonstrates how well you know your husband and how you can read his thoughts. If we are close enough to God, we can “read” his desires too, if we are paying enough attention. Love it! (Look at My Eyes).
I feel blessed to be on your email list. I find your messages uplifting and comforting. They always come just when I need them, (just like God's). (The Clay Dish).
I loved your poem on anointing…….so true, the lives we touch in ways we do not imagine. Thanks for your encouragement! (The Anointing).
Thank you, Sandra. I needed to read The Dirt Dauber, as I was letting my situation overcome me with great sadness. God is in control; He sees all.
God is truly working through you. It seems when your messages come, it is just what I need. Thank you so much for including me. I know I am sounding selfish but you are a blessing and I thank you and our Heavenly Father for you. (He Makes Me Lie down in Green Pastures).
Slowly walk through Words Of Worth, digesting whatever the Holy Spirit reveals to you from these pages. Let Him deal with the issues in your life. Then sing a new song of praise to the One who deserves it, the Lord God Almighty.

About the Book
Are you sitting on the mountaintop with Jesus or down groveling in the mud puddles? Words of Worth travels both places. Sandra Meyer’s spiritual journey through life resembles that of many others, and she writes from her familiarity of both the good and hard times.
Practical ideas to help you grow come from ordinary activities, nature, and experience. Often Christians march forward, only to take a slow ride downhill, unaware until we’ve already lost ground. Biblical people experienced the same frustrating situations, showing us through their examples how to get up and advance again. Sharing her defeats as well as victories, Sandra has e-mailed her meditations for several years and has responses like those below. Some topics discussed in Words of Worth include trials, trouble, and temptations; discipline; contentment; and intimacy with God.
Wow! Karen Davis suggested the title Words of Worth “because when I read Sandra Meyer’s meditations, I usually say ‘Wow!’ and they are worth so much to me.”
Melvin Gordy says, “When I had to have an operation … I found that by reading articles like the ones Sandra Meyer writes I got relief. That is the real reason I wanted to see Words of Worth published.”
Rhonda Baronne tells, “I am in a nursing home ministry. We have shared the meditations with the residents, and they were truly blessed. Sandra Meyer’s writings are very uplifting and encouraging. Just the right word at the right time.”
See why Sandra’s meditations earn such enthusiastic endorsements, and learn how you can enhance your faith as you read Words of Worth.
About the Author
Sandra Meyer loved God from the time she was a small child, growing up in a Christian home and accepting Jesus as her personal Savior and Lord from an early age. As a senior adult she loves Him even more. Sandra has written Christian poems and meditations for many years and had a few published in different devotional guides and magazines. In the 1980’s Sandra wrote three-minute meditations for her church and recorded them for use on a dedicated telephone line. Later she edited a newsletter and had a devotional column in it each month. For several years, emails have conveyed her new spiritual thoughts to 175 people weekly. After encouragement from several friends, Sandra felt God lead her to publish some of those meditations. Besides teaching adult Sunday school classes and leading Beth Moore Bible studies, Sandra has led other studies that she wrote. For the last few years, Sandra’s goal has been to reflect God to others and to help her readers learn to do that also. Be inspired as you share Sandra’s heart and love of our great God. Sandra and Alton, her husband of over fifty years, live in La Marque, Texas near the Gulf Coast. Even though the families of their four children are scattered around Texas and outside Atlanta, they gather every year at Thanksgiving or Christmas.
