Jesus stands at the door and knocks. He wishes to come in and be with us in our daily struggles with temptation. He walks us through the valley of the shadow of death and he is with us. HE provides a way of escape! He is our strength when we are weak. 💪
Happy New Year, brothers and sisters. Out with the old, in with the new. Can’t wait to see what the Lord will do in each of our lives and look forward to hearing about it, from each of you.
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when we encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance, and let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. James 1
Love is of God
Gods words will not change. This earth will pass away, but his promise is imminent. He will come, even though we don’t know when. We are to be ready, not spending our time unwisely on unimportant things. What are those things? We must decide, based on his word, not our own selfish hearts desire. Holy Spirit, convict us of the things are unimportant to you, and help us change, so we will embrace you, with open arms, with no regrets, both now and on your return.

Christ’s emphasis instead is on faithfulness, watchfulness, stewardship, expectancy, and preparedness. These are the lessons He taught in the parables that immediately follow.
Just as Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness, by twisting the word of God, so shall he try to do to us, who follow Jesus. We must speak Gods truth to each other, and not worldly wisdom, which will lead us down a path of destruction. What will you choose, Life or Death? Choose Life! This world is not our eternal home.
Use my mouth for good and not evil!

Oh, how I am convicted as the holidays approach, with this sound principle from James. I woke up this morning oppressed by a spirit of torment over a conflict from Mothers Day. May my tongue be used for good and not evil, as these days of interaction between family and those we struggle with. Fill me with you Spirit, Lord.
