Your Mercies NEVER fail us. The birth of Jesus, was the beginning of a new covenant, to all people. Many, will come to know him, not just as a Baby,but as the Son of God, who came to save the World, from their sin.
The Ant vs the Sluggard…….the rest of the Solomon’s warning to his son (or Daughter if you don’t have a son), below.
”Go to the ant, O sluggard, Observe her ways and be wise, Which, having no chief, Officer or ruler, Prepares her food in the summer And gathers her provision in the harvest. How long will you lie down, O sluggard? When will you arise from your sleep? “A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest”— Your poverty will come in like a vagabond And your need like an armed man.“
Proverbs 6:6-11 NASB1995
Be cautious, of things you cannot afford, or very quickly, it will own you and your life.
”Do not be one who shakes hands in pledge or puts up security for debts; if you lack the means to pay, your very bed will be snatched from under you.“
Proverbs 22:26-27 NIV
I can do All ( not some), things through Christ ( not in my own strength), who strengthens me. Joesph and Mary, were just teenagers, yet they were able to overcome many thing through grace, in humility, obediently following Gods commands, in spite of their circumstances. Can you relate to this in your own life? The angel, sent by God, told Mary, “ With God, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE”!
Wise counsel, from one of the wisest men on earth, Solomon. Debt can restrict your successful walk with God, when it is your Master.
Our culture stresses self made men an women, but the Apostle Paul, finds strength in the Lord, through Grace. A better ingredient for both men and women.
”Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me—to keep me from exalting myself! Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.“
2 Corinthians 12:7-10 NASB1995
Amen. We are ALL, who believe, saved by Grace, through Faith. We don’t measure up by ourselves. Thank You, Jesus.
Before the battle, while being tremendously outnumbered, the Israelites, bowed and worshipped before the Lord, and this is what the Spirit of God said….” You need not fight in this battle; station yourselves, stand and see the salvation of the Lord on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem.’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out to face them, for the Lord is with you.”“ 2 Chronicles 20:17 NASB1995 https://bible.com/bible/100/2ch.20.17.NASB1995
For HE is GOOD, HIS LOVE, endures forever.
