We live in a culture that says, do it your way. It says, I am in control of my own destiny. This is a lie from the pit of Hell. It is a path that will lead to an eternity of separation and damnation. WE were created to submit to a Holy God, that is here to guide us and Love us, that we might find fulfillment in serving and walking with him. We have access to him through his Holy and perfect son, who freely gave himself up, to take the penalty, and give life to ALL who believe in him. It is a gift, and cannot be earned, lest anyone should boast. Won’t you consider this gift in faith, and give yourself up, that you may have access to the Father who gives life, through Jesus Christ, and no other. He is the ONLY way to God the Father!

Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face continually.
1 Chronicles 16:11 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/1ch.16.11/20825

Just as God chose Jesus, he chose us before the foundations of the earth. May we follow Jesus lead, and may the Father be well pleased in our service, and our proclaiming the Good News to both Jew and Gentile.

” behold , my servant whom I have chosen ; my beloved in whom my soul is well – pleased ; I will put my spirit upon Him , and he shall proclaim justice to the gentiles .
Matthew 12:18 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.12.18.NASB

We Are Not Ashamed………. For I am not a 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. May the grant us all strength, to stand firm in our faith, through his Holy Spirit. Thank you, Jesus.

For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, ” but the righteous man shall live by faith .”
Romans 1:17 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/rom.1.17/263

We need to always remember, God Loved us, in spite of our faults. Shouldn’t we do the same to others, and share the Good News, that Jesus makes us whole and right before God, not because of what we’ve done, but because of what he had done. Taken our penalty, even though he did not deserve it. What true love!

Not only is this promise, for eternity, but it is for today. Jesus, didn’t give his life, so that we can sit around and wait, for the perfect life in Heaven. He gave it so we might live now, in light of this promise, with a hope that shines a light on the Good News, that the King has come, and goes to prepare a place for us. We can live now, in freedom, from the bondage from sin, and live for him! If you are hurting today, I pray, that Jesus would show you comfort, in the midst of your trial. May you feel the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. Amen.

For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it.
Luke 9:24 NASB

God’s Words, will last, for all of Eternity. This world, is passing away. We must put our hope, in something that will last forever. That hope is in God, through Jesus work on the cross, and his resurrection.

1 Peter 1:23-24

23 for you have been a born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God.

24 For, “ ALL FLESH IS LIKE GRASS, AND ALL ITS GLORY LIKE THE FLOWER OF GRASS. THE GRASS WITHERS, AND THE FLOWER FALLS OFF,

25 a BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER.” And this is the word which was preached to you.

Taken from Isaiah 40: 6-8.

Isaiah elaborated on how transitory humanity is: here today, gone tomorrow. People pass away like plants under the hot breath of the withering E wind. James used this illustration to teach the folly of trusting in material wealth ( Jas 1: 10 , 11 ). Peter used it to illustrate the passing nature of everything related to humanity ( 1Pe 1: 24 , 25 ).

Shalom! May God grant you peace, through the power of the Holy Spirit, and through his Word, and through the transforming power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, today, and forever.

For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,
Romans 8:6 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/rom.8.6/39679

If you are the center of your own universe, ie you worship yourself, how will you ever, find the one true God. If this is you, Jesus, is the only way to finding God! Praying your eyes will be opened to this truth, just as ours were opened when WE were blind. Thank you all, who follow me, and listen to what the Lord puts on my heart to share. You are a blessing to me, and encouragement.

A fool does not delight in understanding, But only in revealing his own mind.
Proverbs 18:2 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.18.2.NASB

We live in a world, that seems to be crumbling around us. Our hope, both in the future and now, in this present darkness, is that we have a friend in Jesus, who has overcome the world. Because of his reconciliation of us, with God the Father, we can live life, without the bondage of sin, and the freedom to share the Good News, with with all who would listen. The book of 1 John, calls us overcomers! Can I get an Amen?

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
John 10:10 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/jhn.10.10/7422

Not only, does the Gospel give hope to the lost, it brings joy and peace, to those who believe. Now that is Good Medicine you can’t buy at a store. Thank you, Jesus.

A joyful heart is good medicine, But a broken spirit dries up the bones.
Proverbs 17:22 NASB
