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
Category: Christ
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
Hundreds of years in the past, a promise was made, through the prophet Isaiah. Thank you God, for always keeping your promises! It may not always be in our timing, but it is always in yours.
Celebrating Christmas is God’s fulfillment to start his restoration of all creation through Jesus.

For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
John 3:17 NASB
Let us always be filled with this miracle, that allows us to live a life of purpose. If this doesn’t make sense to you, please see the link below (Gospel Kingdom). May the Lord open your heart to his truth.
My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. The person who refuses to love doesn’t know the first thing about God, because God is love—so you can’t know him if you don’t love. This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him. This is the kind of love we are talking about—not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they’ve done to our relationship with God.
1 John 4:9 MSG
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
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
Slow down, listen for the voice of God, meditate on his word, and act on it. Don’t just think about it. The men in the picture, most definitely acted on it, and came face to face with the Living God.
Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.
1 Corinthians 16:13-14 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.
Romans 8:37 NASB
Are you satisfied at what you are pursuing to find fulfillment in your life?
Delight yourself in the Lord ; And He will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalms 37:4 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.37.4.NASB
The things of this world are temporal, but the things of the LORD are eternal. We find joy when we accept and pursue and shower ourselves in God’s promises.
- We are forgiven,
- We are called sons and daughters,
- We are loved perfectly,
- We have a perfect father,
- We are perfect through Jesus work on the cross and his resurrection,
- We have a helper who guides and directs us
- We have God’s word that always gives us wisdom to walk fearlessly in a lost and decaying world.
- We also have a home that is being prepared for us to spend all of eternity, in a place where there will be no sorrow.
Can I get an Amen?
