Rejoice–The Lord Blesses??? A Word from THE WORD!!! #405

Just a brief word this morning to encourage our hearts.  While the world goes crazy around us, remember that our God still reigns, and when we are born again by the blood of The Lamb, we will reign with Him!  We win!  Yet we don’t have to wait until eternity, we can praise and rejoice in His blessings every day—today—and today—and today—and all of our todays here on this earth!

“Bless the LORD,

O my soul:

and all that is within me,

bless his holy name.

2 Bless the LORD,

O my soul,

and forget not all his benefits:

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;

who healeth all thy diseases;

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;

who crowneth thee with

lovingkindness and tender mercies;

5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things;

so that thy youth is renewed

like the eagle’s…

… 10 He hath not dealt with us

after our sins;

nor rewarded us

according to our iniquities.

11 For as the heaven is high above the earth,

so great is his mercy

toward them that fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west,

so far hath he removed our transgressions

from us.

13 Like as a father pitieth his children,

so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

14 For he knoweth our frame;

he remembereth that we are dust.”  Portions of Psalm 103:1-14

May we spend time today rehearsing the goodness of our God!  We are so blessed, and I encourage you to list the blessings of God to you even today!  The list is endless, but we so often let the trials of this life distract us from the goodness of our God!  First and foremost for all who will come to Him is Jesus Christ our Lord!  I am so grateful that He saved me from my sin and made me a new creation in Himself!  I praise Him for the joys of loving and serving Him.  I invite you to come to Him in repentance of your sin and trust in His substitutionary, atoning sacrifice for your sin and mine at Calvary!  But praise God from whom all blessings flow, Jesus didn’t stay in that tomb, but it is empty!  If you hear the tug of Jesus at your heart’s door, I pray that you’ll bow before Him and call on Him and He will answer.  I’m praying for you!

“Behold,

I stand at the door,

and knock:

if any man hear my voice,

and open the door,

I will come in to him,

and will sup with him,

and he with me.”  Revelation 3:20

Amen and Amen!!!

Bible Ballistics: BBs #629    God Is Still Working!!!

 

“For God is my King of old,

working salvation

in the midst of the earth.”  Psalm 74:12

I want to encourage you today and remind us all that God is trustworthy and HE is ever at work on our behalf!  While it may not always look the way we want it to look, and things may not always be what we expected them to be—God still reigns.  He is ever at work in us to accomplish HIS purpose!  And He’ll show you His ways if you will but look up and hear His voice every day as He directs your steps!

“Wherefore, my beloved,

as ye have always obeyed,

not as in my presence only,

but now much more

in my absence,

work out your own salvation

with fear and trembling.

13 For it is God which worketh in you

both to will

and to do

of his good pleasure.

14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

15 That ye may be blameless

and harmless,

the sons of God,

without rebuke,

in the midst of a crooked

and perverse nation,

among whom ye shine

as lights in the world;”                  Philippians 2:12-15

And one of my very favorite reminders of God’s faithfulness, and our call to follow HIM:

“Trust in the LORD

with all thine heart;

and lean not

unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways

acknowledge him,

and he shall direct

thy paths.

7 Be not wise

in thine own eyes:

fear the LORD,

and depart from evil.

8 It shall be health to thy navel,

and marrow to thy bones.” Proverbs 3:5-8

I pray that God will help you remember that HE has you in HIS heart—HE loves YOU and will “never leave thee nor forsake thee” if you belong to HIM!  It is God’s working that keeps me going and not my own efforts—YOU can trust Him and rest in HIS work also!

“Now there are diversities of gifts,

but the same Spirit.

5 And there are differences of administrations,

but the same Lord.

6 And there are diversities of operations,

but it is the same God

which worketh all in all.

7 But the manifestation of the Spirit

is given to every man

to profit withal.”   1 Corinthians 12:4-7

God’s got a plan; won’t you join Him?  Today is a good day!

Amen and Amen!!!

May A Blessed Day Be Yours!!! Bible Ballistics: BBs #565

Bible Ballistics: BBs #565   May A Blessed Day Be Yours!!!

 

I would like to share a bit of encouragement for each of us today.  I pray that your summer is going well, and that you are making some time to share with family, friends and neighbors, and taking time for some refreshing of your heart, mind and soul.  We all need to take time to rest and refresh; even Jesus called His disciples aside to rest!

“And he said unto them,

Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place,

and rest a while:

for there were many coming and going,

and they had no leisure

so much as to eat.

32 And they departed into a desert place

by ship

privately.”  Mark 6:31-32

We all need proper rest, and ‘it’s good for what ails you’, as my mother was wont to say.  As we try to fit into a world that is going at top speed, we sometimes forget that rushing (haste) isn’t always good, because it can often produce careless or thoughtless actions.  While we need to order our lives with balance, we must make sure that our balance is set by Jesus and The Word of God!  Don’t let the world dictate the right and wrong, but God’s Word.  I would like to share a short but profound Psalm for us to ponder on this Friday!  Are you under God’s blessing or are you making choices that place you somewhere else?  A question that only you can answer!  May this encourage you today!

“Blessed is the man

that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,

nor standeth in the way of sinners,

nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight

is in the law of the LORD;

and in his law

doth he meditate

day

and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree

planted by the rivers of water,

that bringeth forth his fruit

in his season;

his leaf also

shall not wither;

and whatsoever he doeth

shall prosper.

4 The ungodly are not so:

but are like the chaff

which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly

shall not stand in the judgment,

nor sinners

in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the LORD

knoweth the way of the righteous:

but the way of the ungodly

shall perish.”  Psalm 1:1-6

Check your choices; while you’re free to choose, each path will lead to certain ends!  Jesus says it best:

 “Enter ye in at the strait gate:

for wide is the gate,

and broad is the way,

that leadeth to destruction,

and many there be which go in thereat:

14 Because strait is the gate,

and narrow is the way,

which leadeth unto life,

and few there be that find it.”   Matthew 7:13-14

Amen and Amen!
