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;

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
Prayer……..It changes Us, not God! He is the same, yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Our prayers are not meant to some recital, of the same thing, over and over, or thoughtlessly. It doesn’t mean that they can’t be persistent. God already knows, what we need, but sometimes as we bow before him, he reveals those desperate needs to us more clearly. May he speak to us, through his word and our meditation and prayers, today. I know he has to me, this morning. Thank you, Jesus.
“And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words. So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
Matthew 6:7-8 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.6.7-8.NASB
The Christian life, is not about remembering a point in time. Salvation is about that, but it is just the beginning. We are called to follow Jesus, and that is not an intellectual exercise. The Bible says that even the demons acknowledge Jesus and shutter! We are Called to Read and study, meditate and pray, serve one another, minister to the weak and poor, share His Story…..You get the idea. If you have been, negligent in this area, confess it. We serve a gracious God who forgives, and separates our sins, as far as the East is from the West. Is that not Amazing! Let’s go out today, filled with the Spirit, and see what God will do. Please share if you see his work in your life today. I know I have already this morning. I had no idea I would be writing this, even after I saw the verse. God is so Good. Thank you Jesus!
The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:9 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/php.4.9/3082
This was a response from God, for being outwardly religious, but inwardly wicked. All our hearts are inherently wicked, but Jesus sent his spirit, and his word, to help us change our hearts. If our hearts are changed, then our actions will overflow with pure motives. This would be a great life verse, don’t you think? God Bless, Alan
When we are weak, then we are strong, through your Holy Spirit, that you sent for us, Jesus. Thank you!
In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;
ROMANS 8:26 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/rom.8.26/309
Lord, thank you for your word, that is sufficient for all of life. Your word comes to man, from a holy God. Man’s own words, comes from a corrupted heart, that can deceive. Help us to choose your truth, every day, and not the world’s deceptive wisdom, based on our own selfish desires.
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.
2 TIMOTHY 3:16-17 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/2ti.3.16-17.NASB
Lord, may our hearts humbly bow before you, in persistent prayer. May we be alert, to the needs of others, so we might lift them up. Reveal yourself to us, through answered prayer, even though it may not be, what we wanted the outcome to be. May we always remember, that you care about us and love hearing our petitions.
Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving;
