Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way And the unrighteous man his thoughts; And let him return to the Lord , And He will have compassion on him, And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.
Isaiah 55:6-7 NASB

It’s always a heart issue with God, isn’t it? Your heart has to be in the right place to find him. Its not so much in our own strength, but a humble submission to a Holy God, that draws us to him. Read the 2 verses before this and you will see the rest of the story, as an old radio announcer used to say.
You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13 NASB
May you all have a blessed and fruitful 2019, in the name of our Lord and Savior! May you find victory in whatever this world brings you way.
What a great reminder to know, that unless the Lord is in our plans, it is a fruitless endeavor. May his Holy Spirit guide us, as we seek to to serve and honor him.
The of man plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.
Proverbs 16:9 NASB
To those who don’t know Jesus, do you ever want a fresh start, a reboot, a clean slate. This verse says we will become New. It doesn’t mean that we will completely lose that ugly sin nature, but God will see us as whole and restored when we surrender to him. Those of us who have surrendered to him, need to be continually reminded of this as well. How great is our God? REMEMBER……There is NO condemnation for those in Christ Jesus.
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
2 Corinthians 5:17 NASB
Try and let this fully sink in today. May your day be blessed, beyond all measure, and may nothing take away your Joy, as we expectantly celebrate the coming gift. Jesus!
We are told in this world, that there is a gift that keeps on giving. Not to name names, but it is a credit card. God has a different TRUTH. His gift is Jesus. It is THE perfect gift, that keeps on giving.
By the way, how did you do, with proclaiming it yesrerday? Do not lose hope if you didn’t, and do not be arrogant if you did. Let’s continue shouting it from the mountaintops as the Lord give us opportunity,
May the Llord bless your Christmas and may you feel his presence in this crazy time of year.
Peace

She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
Matthew 1:21 NASB
Who will you share this good news with today?
It is literally the greatest gift God can give, and the greatest thing we could share, to those who don’t know. Let me know how it goes for you today.
Will you be too busy, will you be too afraid, or will you be bold, filled with the Holy Spirit? I will be praying for us all today. May the seeds be sown and the harvest be plentiful.
Blessings

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
Romans 1:16 NASB
What is your experience with this promise? My wife and I have been blessed many times over by this promise, both of our time and money. Any thoughts or questions?
Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure-pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”
Luke 6:38 NASB
Christian = suffering, but with great joy(JAS 1:2). The race is on. We are in a life long race of endurance, embracing the trials, enduring the sufferings, rejoicing in the victories. All the while holding tight to the finish line where we will receive the crown. The reward of a faithful servant, the perfect life where everything will be changed, including ourselves. Thank you Jesus. Bring on what comes my way today. Whether in good or bad times, May I say, blessed be the Name of the Lord. Amen!!
And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it.
Mark 8:34-35 NASB
Want to know the secret, of Living in this crazy world we live in?
But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.
