Oh California…….May you turn to the Lord, in this time of trouble. May he guide you in your time of distress. May Jesus, be the one, who gives you “Living Water”, in the time of your despair. He is, “Waymaker, Promise keeper, Light in the Darkness”. He never stops working, He never stops working.

The Book of Joel: An animated story from “The Bible Project”

In this book, Joel reflects on the “Day of the Lord” and how true repentance will bring about the great restoration hoped for in the other prophetic books.

Happy Birthday, America. May God Bless America. May we move away from our worldly ways, and move back to our fundamental values, of our Christian Faith. Jesus is the one by faith in him, that can turn this country from despair, to hope again. Celebrate with Hope today.

Our Hope is not in Earthly things (See notes below).

bible.com/bible/100/psa.46.1.NASB1995

Our Hope is not in our local, regional, or international leaders, or our nation. Our Hope is in the one true God, who knows all things and his plan marches on, in spite of those who stand against him. His plan is to rescue all those who turn to Jesus, his son, that they might be restored to a right standing before him. For those who turn to him for their Hope, there is both blessing and forgiveness, for what is behind us.

Forgive us Lord, when we seek help in the temporal things. May we ALWAYS, find comfort and help in you, no matter what comes our way. NOTHING, can separate us from your LOVE!

We are called to be a beacon of hope, to a lost world. We are not called to be a judge and jury. That is not been commanded to us, but to draw those like ourselves, out of condemnation, and into Glory. To share his Good News, that there is hope in one who saves. His name is Jesus.

Father, I surrender to you, all things that distract from you today. Help me to see what is good, is right,is pure,is Holy. Let me see your goodness in the midst of a fallen world. May I see through your eyes. Amen

We are free from the curse of the law forever, to those who receive freely, the gift of grace by faith alone. Our works to earn salvation,will only bring stress & worry, because only Jesus was able to fulfill the law and set us FREE! Won’t you turn to him today? He is waiting.

God wants you to speak to him, with a heart that seeks him, and wants to know him more. He does not want some ritualist repitition. He also wants you to know him. The Bible tells us all that we need to know about him. Meditate on his word and tell him what’s on your heart and the Holy Spirit will guide and teach you.

Thank you Jesus, that through you, we find life! Not only now, but for all of eternity. This truly is good news, that though we don’t deserve it, we find Mercy and Grace, through you.
