For He is God : and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand!!! Psalms 95:7, makes it pretty simple, we are His, listen to Him, if we do listen to THE SHEPHERD, He won’t have to use the hook part of His staff so much around our necks :-) I want to wish one of my grandsons, Porter James, a very happy seventh birthday, love you little man. And continued prayers for little Maverick,my brother Steve, so much appreciated!!! Let’s all be good “sheep “ today !!!!!! I love being a sheep :-) look at it this way, Our Saviour was a lamb, He was also a lien have a great Friday !!

I have yet to see a banner behind these so-called mega preachers, men and women both, that says “ The Christian Ministry” is one of giving not getting” :-) I don’t mean to sound negative or like a downer this morning :-) but if you were to remove the dollar from some of this so-called Christian work, I got a hunch, quite a bit of it would come to a screeching halt. Matthew tells us in 10:8 “freely you have received, freely give”!! Oh boy,that’s not going to make a lot of peoples day is it :-) If you really wanna know the truth, the more we truly give ourselves towards The Lords service, it’s going to be a bigger blessing for us,and a greater reward in heaven!!!! The Disciples, The Apostle Paul, and John The Baptist, we’re not in it for the buck :-)
Aren’t you glad Christ didn’t charge admission the day He presented the multitudes, The Beatitudes :-) I’d like to wish one of my princess granddaughters, Avia Belle, a very Happy 6th Birthday 🎂 Grandpa Loves You!!! Thanks for continued prayers for Maverick and Steve :-) Have a great Thursday! He had no home, no family, was falsely put in prison, and then be headed for his Savior. Can’t wait to meet this guy, someday I will have a chance to hang out with,and walk the streets of gold, with John The Baptist !! Matthew 11 records “ there is not one that has risen greater than John The Baptist” and I love how Christ finished the 11th verse, when He said “but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is great” !!! Feeling “least “ these days, if you’re a believer and trying to do things for The Glory of God, Christ considers you as great !!!! I’d say that’s worth a double, nah, triple AMEN :-) Continued prayers for Maverick and Steve!! Thank You!!! Enjoy your Wednesday
After studying Psalms 37:4, Delight yourself in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. I penned this in a journal nine years ago this morning. Rest in the Lord and wait patiently, not one of my better qualities. The Lord wants us to wait and rest while we wait. Funny how that would take out the worry of your life, but yet I don’t do it. I understand that I am to give it to the Lord and leave it there, easier said than done that’s for sure. I’ve always been one to try to help God along to hurry up and get things done :-) So then I wrote, relax, give it to and let the Lord take it on. This is what I had for prayer requests nine years ago, to cheer up during this midwinter slump,I have so much to be grateful for and need to be patient for spring, and enjoy the 24 hours ahead of me!! WOW!!! Funny that what I wrote nine years ago today, applies to right now, this morning. I’ve got to do some of that “Delighting myself in The Lord”and do it now. Have a great Monday, as always thank you for the continued prayers for Maverick and Steve
It’s appreciated!!! Hebrews 10:17 is definitely a good quick little verse to memorize. “And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more”!!! Sounds good to me . If you were to read this book slowly, and study it, you would find that the keyword in it is “better” !!! Paul gives several contrasts between good things and the better things of Christ. Just a few examples, “The Son is better than the prophets”, “The Son is better than the angels” and on and on this book goes. The one I really like is there is “a better rest for the believer”!!! WHOA. Anxiety is real, along with panic attacks, the next time you have one, remember Hebrews promise, that Jesus was made perfect, and to believe in Him,will make our lives better!!!! Hebrews 4:16, “ Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” !!! AMEN!!!
Have a great Lord’s Day, and continued prayers for Maverick and Steve,so much appreciated !!! Just think a book penned in A.D. 64. by The Apostle Paul, is great news for January 26, 2020 !!!!! The love that is spoken about in John 3:16 and First John 4:8, is the kind of love that can’t be tainted with wrong doing and lust. This love can’t be measured and has no limits !!! The love talked about in these verses,is the love that came when Christ came. The greatest love of all of course,was God giving His Only Son, to die for our sins on the cross!! God also reminds us,that His love can be firm !!!? I have a problem with these so-called pastors that go around preaching God is love,God is love, but never say anything about how He chastens along with that love!!! God‘s love for us has no beginning and no end, and when we enter the gray areas of our lives and say God will understand, just remember Christ was crucified for us to justify whatever we would like to do. His death was that of serious business, if you love him you’re following
When I see these clowns on TV drenched in jewelry, suits that cost more than my trucks, enough screens to support a Super Bowl, I hardly see where the Glory is given to Christ in their so-called places of worship. Jeremiah does a very good job warning people about “when you seek great things for yourself, look out “ it’s considered a snare by the devil. Unfortunately we’ve got a lot of people that think they’re ministry is great and Christ is OK :-) John the Baptist, my kind of leader said, “ He must increase,I must decrease” , This is coming from a gentleman that didn’t own a home, or a wardrobe,I doubt if he had a necklace with a cross on it that weighed 7 ounces, but we all know what he got to do :-) BAPTIZE THE SON OF GOD!!! I love this cute little poem, “ Keep me little and unknown,loved and prized by Christ alone” I have no idea who penned this precious little poem,it’s in one of my study books,but they will be in heaven!!! Also in the prayer request department, I don’t mean to sound like a broken record,but if you could keep the prayers going up for Maverick and Steve muchly appreciated :-) Have a great Friday!! I hope were you attend worship this weekend is giving The Glory To God,Jeremiah warns us if it’s not for that purpose, it’s a snare by the devil!!! Your Heart Knows!!
It’s sad to think about it this way,but this world seems to glamorize what is wrong with everything. That’s why I don’t like watching the news, it’s never good. When Jesus was here on earth and He spoke to the multitudes, He always brought them hope for the future. We got to be careful about what our kids heer,see, iPad, text,and pretty much live these days. You’ve heard all the sayings,you are what you eat, garbage in garbage out!!! Proverbs is chock-full of how to be a good parent, the role of a grandparent, the role of a big brother, the role of a big sister. Growing up my pastor believe that you’ve got about 12 years for a child like faith to really develop, by the time your three you’ve pretty much developed your speech patterns. Let’s get Crackin moms, dads, grandparents, 2020 is here, let’s get family prayers, devotions and non-interrupted dinners going again. Remember Jesus is the way, the truth, and the
light, you might want to get Joshua 24:15 painted over the inside of your front door, your door I know I love looking at mine every time I go out the door Daniel 3:25 of course is the verse where the king realizes, he had ordered three men into the fiery furnace ,but he saw four men walking around in there. He didn’t know who the fourth one was but he did admit that the form of the fourth man took on that as of The Son Of God!!!
In a hotspot these days :-) Hang in there, God’s right beside you!!! Continued prayers for Steve and Maverick, are so much appreciated!!! Have a good Wednesday :-) Psalms 31:2, is where David writes about God being his refuge,fortress and his defense. If you truly believe in God and His Son, the actual trust that we put in Him,hopefully will let us experience peace not panic. If you’ve ever had an anxiety or a panic attack , which are very very very real, you know what I mean, you might want to learn this memory verse and tuck it away in your heart, because every day of life, you need to know and be reminded that our trust in Him influences thevpeace in our life. I love it Dsvid doesn’t really say that life will always be peaceful and a piece of cake !! David was going through something when he wrote this, just like all of us experience in every day of our life. Trust in His power, could help you sleep tonight. And if you’ve got your prayer warrior hats on today, if you could mention the names of Maverick and Steve again, so much appreciated !!! Thank you!!! Have a great Tuesday !!!!
TRUST !!!!! We have too :-) |
