Where will my help come from?

There is power, in the name of Jesus.. May we find all our answers, in your word today, and may we find grace, in the Gospel. May we find strength, through the power of your Holy Spirit. May we find hope, in the promise of eternal life, through Jesus death & resurrection. May we find Life, both now and forever. So many distractions in this world, but so many wonderful promises of God. Help us stay on the path of Righteousness, Oh Lord, we give ourselves completely to you.

Take our hand, Oh Lord, and Lead us out of this Darkness, to the Promised Land. You are our Hope, our Rock and our Redeemer!

Jesus’s sacrifice, means that we can do this now, for all who believe. One day, we will get to do this for all of eternity, when he takes us from this imperfect world, and our imperfect bodies, to where everything is perfect. March 10, my mother-in-law, had that opportunity. We are excited for her, but saddened that we won’t see her for a time. Goodbye for now, Maryann.

One thing I have asked from the Lord , that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord And to meditate in His temple. Psalms 27:4 NASB https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.27.4.NASB

Jesus is calling. Do you hear his voice? Will you recognize you own shortcomings, and recognize the need for a savior today? Don’t wait. This world is passing away, but eternity is forever!

Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. Revelation 3:20 NASB https://bible.com/bible/100/rev.3.20.NASB

If we put our glasses on, it helps us focus. So too, when we read God’s word, and pray, it helps focus on what is important in our lives. The things of this world will fade away.

Risk vs Reward…..Eternal damnation or Eternal Glory. Jesus is worth the Risk and Reward, for trusting and following him! Satan on the other hand is a liar.

As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior;
1 Peter 1:14‭-‬15 NASB

We walk by Grace through Faith, by the blood of Jesus. One day, he will return, and make all things right, in this world. Oh, what a Glorious day, that will be. We look forward to your return, Jesus. Until then, we remain faithful to your word, and your promises.

Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;
Acts 3:19 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/act.3.19.NASB

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 ).

God’s words spoken through King David. Who can add to this!

Yours, O Lord , is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord , and You exalt Yourself as head over all.
