Discipleship is great, but Paul encourages the Philippians to take ownership of their own walk with Jesus, even when Paul is not there. When we take ownership, we are walking with Jesus and his Spirit and then, we are to do the same as Paul, by walking with others, and pointing them to Jesus, that they would do the same. That way, we are participating in building Gods kingdom, here on earth. Is that not a beautiful way to see what gods will is in our life?

It’s not about US, it’s All about HIM!

The Battle belongs to the Lord

We are made new! The old is gone, the new is here to stay. Not because we are perfect, but because HE, is Perfect,

Can I get an Amen?

The LORD’S Glory and Man’s Dignity. 

A Psalm of David.

  1.  O LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth, Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens! 
  2. From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established strength, Because of Your adversaries, To make the enemy and the revengeful cease.  
  3. When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,  The moon and the stars, which You have ordained; 
  4. What is man that You take thought of him, And the son of man that You care for him? 
  5. Yet You have made him a little lower than God, And You crown him with cglory and majesty! 
  6. You make him to rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, 
  7. All sheep and oxen, And also the beasts of the field, 
  8. The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas. 
  9. O LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth!

What does God require of Man? (See notes below Image)

3–5 This was the Lord’s appeal. With tenderness and emotion, the divine Plaintiff recalled His many gracious acts toward them, almost to the point of assuming the tone of a defendant. Noting their trek from bondage in Egypt to their own homeland, God had provided leadership (v. 4), reversed the attempts of Balaam to curse the people (v. 5a; cf. Nu 22–24), and miraculously parted the Jordan River (v. 5b) so they could cross over from Shittim, located E of the Jordan, to Gilgal on the W side near Jericho. God had faithfully kept all His promises to them. † 6:6, 7 Micah, as though speaking on behalf of the people, asked rhetorically how, in light of God’s faithfulness toward them, they could continue their hypocrisy by being outwardly religious but inwardly sinful. † 6:8 Micah’s terse response ( v. 8) indicated they should have known the answer to the rhetorical question. Spiritual blindness had led them to offer everything except the one thing He wanted—a spiritual commitment of the heart from which right behavior would ensue (cf. Dt 10:12–19; Mt 22:37–39). This theme is often represented in the OT (cf. 1Sa 15:22; Is 1:11–20; Jer 7:21–23; Hos 6:6; Am 5:15).

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.
