There are three books in the Bible that are made up what is called the Wisdom literature. They are Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Job. Love to hear what you think of this first part.

Each book offers a unique perspective on how humans are to attain wisdom and honor God. In this video, we briefly explore how the message of each book fits into the overall story of the Bible.
Consider below the image, the opposite of walking/living by the Spirit. Which do you think would give you more peace and joy, even in the midst of trials? We do not walk alone, as we walk in the Spirit.
NOT WALKING BY THE SPIRIT
“Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”
Galatians 5:19-21 NASB1995
PRAYER
FATHER, help us remember each day, that walking by the spirit, is a gift from you above, that by not falling into the trap, of all the deceptive lies of this world, we can live a life of Hope, and Love and Joy, and Peace.
Amen
Psalm 100 – A Psalm of Thanksgiving & Gratitude
As we approach this beautiful season we call Autumn of Fall, may we approach this changing of the season, with a heart ❤️ of Joy and Thanksgiving, (In spite of our circumstances). Every day is a gift from God, whether you know it or not. Take the time, to remember, all the things that God has blessed you with, and not the circumstance you find yourself in. Whether you know God or not, take the time in a quiet place and seek him out. Ask him to reveal himself to you in a personal way. He love us, in spite of ourselves. He care so much, that HE created us in his own image. He gave his only son, to take our place before him, that we might stand before him, without blemish. Is that not reason to rejoice, I ask you. If you can take the time, in your stillness, take a moment and listen to the song below of Gratitude, by Brandon Lake, but more importantly, reflect on his Word, from the Psalm 100. I this will be a blessing it is for you, as much as it is to me.
Thanks for your time.

God Bless You and Your Family
ALL men & women are encouraged to Praise God!
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, to forgive us our sins, and deliver us from ALL unrighteousness.
Mariano Rivera and the 2091 World Series and his favorite verse. “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.” (Philippians 4:12)

The Lord is my Shepherd…….Baseball and the Bible
There is a Time for Everything. Now is the time to Repent, for the Forgiveness of Your Sins. Jesus is Waiting, Patiently, that HE may Restore You.
All credit to the John MacArthur Study Bible and to the Words of God.
3:18 announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets. Cf. Ge 3:15; Ps 22; Is 53; Zec 12:10. †
3:19 repent and return. See notes on 2:38; Mt 3:2. “Return” is a frequent NT word that relates to sinners turning to God (9:35; 14:15; 26:18, 20; Lk 1:16, 17; 2Co 3:16; 1Pe 2:25). your sins … wiped away. Cf. Ps 51:9; Is 43:25; 44:22. “Wiped away” compares forgiveness to the complete wiping away of ink from the surface of a document (Col 2:14). ‡
3:19–21 times of refreshing … period of restoration of all things. “Times” or “period” means epoch, era, or season. Two descriptions are given to the coming era of the millennial kingdom. This is clear because they bracket the reference to Jesus Christ being sent from God to bring those times. Peter points to Christ’s earthly reign (see notes on 1:7; cf. Ro 11:26). The period will be marked by all kinds of blessings and renewal (cf. Is 11:6–10; 35:1–10; Eze 34:26; 44:3; Joel 2:26; Mt 19:28; Rev 19:1–10).
Lord, may I take your very words, and ingest them as regularly, as I crave bread and water, that sustains my life. Your word, your relationship I have with you, my humble worship, and the fellowship with the body of Christ sustains me. May it be, as the Air I Breathe.
