Isaiah reminds us in his 43rd chapter,1st verse,” to fear not, because God has redeemed you, and called you by your name, and calls you His!!” As 2019 comes to a close, 2020 should be a little less fearful, knowing that The Lord Jesus Christ, through your salvation, personally knows you by name,and you are one of His :-) Once you accept Christ, He writes your name in THE BOOK OF LIFE, here’s why you don’t need to fear 2020, HE doesn’t erase your name out of there. Wow !!! Have great Monday!!!
HE KNOWS YOU BY NAME 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 We have all heard, or perhaps even said, “my heart just isn’t into it.” To me one of the more miserable people walking the face of this earth is a half hearted Christian. There’s days I don’t even qualify as half hearted if you know what I mean. I’m not talking about the half full half empty cup here, I’m talking about what the Apostle Paul laid out for us to follow, as far as being a whole hearted Christian. When Paul was writing all of his books of the New Testament, you have to remember, that Jesus hadn’t been gone very long from the face of this earth. Here we are some 2000 years later, since He has walked the earth, but He will when He comes back to get us. And Paul is telling us not to live half heartedly, but whole heartedly until His return!!! With 2019,about to come to a close, and 2020 just around the corner, I like that whole heartedly business, how about you. I don’t believe in resolutions,but I do believe in devotion, prayer and promise. Wholeheartedly I like that. Enjoy this last Lords’Day of 2019, oh by the way He could still come yet today , So let’s be wholeheartedly happy when He does :-) If you could continue and focus your prayers towards little Maverick down in Austin Texas, so much appreciate it !!
“Jesus didn’t give half His life for you and me, He gave all His life for you and me” We’ve all heard the famous saying “you are what you eat” and boy is that ever the truth :-) Not only in the physical realm,but the spiritual for sure, another words you are what you read :-) Jeremiah tells us in 15:16, that when he read The Scriptures, he felt like he wanted to eat them,he wanted to feed on THE WORD because of the joy and rejoicing that it brought to his heart. Are you the nutrition cop of your life, do you watch what goes in physically and do you share what goes in spiritually. God‘s Word is packed full of nutrients that not only give us strength and health but wisdom as well. You can’t watch TV for more than three minutes, and that’s about what you should be wasting a day watching TV :-), without seeing an advertisement for things that make us better, healthier, stronger, all kinds of good ideas. Tomorrow when you have your breakfast, and you crack open your eggs, crack open GOD’S WORD !!! Get a hearfull to send you on your day. Continued prayers, and we need lots of them, for Maverick down in Austin Texas !!! THANKS 🙏 Have a great Saturday!!! YOU ARE WHAT YOU READ👍👍👍
Second Corinthians 5:17 “therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed away, and behold all things are become new.” I wrote this in my journal 18 years ago after I read this verse “Bethlehem’s stable was the first step in God’s journey of love to the cross.” If Christ doesn’t return between now and New Year’s, are you one of His new creatures, if not, you’ve still got time to receive Him, even as I write this daily thought. But when He does return you won’t be able to join that party because the invitations will be cut off,and then you’ll need a reservation, God gives you to your last breath to receive Him,might want to end 2019 or start 2020, with the reassurance of being saved, it’s the only way to go!!!
Have a great Friday!!! And if you could, double up on your prayers for Maverick and his family down in Austin !! I’d like to take a minute to wish my sister “Sher Bear” a very happy 55th birthday. She had her spiritual birthday at a kids camp out in Colorado, years and years ago,that my brother Steve, sent her to :-) Good call on the camp Steve!! Last night after all of the busyness of Christmas was wrapped up, I couldn’t help but think of all the blessings, and I do mean many many many blessings, that The Lord has given me. One of my highlights of the day yesterday, was when all nine of my grandkids sang Happy Birthday to Jesus. When I look at them, I realize why Jesus loved children so much that He gave His life for them, and why there are so many warnings and instructions throughout His Word about how to raise them. Every time they come to grandpas house there’s walls and walls and walls of their pictures, cards, programs ,everything they’re doing in their lives!! They know when they walk in here what’s important to me !!! How about your life, is it showing walls and walls of things that lead people to The Christ Child !!! Remember your kids and grandkids would rather see a sermon then hear one :-). Do yourself a favor, and don’t go shopping today !!! Once again, Good call on camp Steve!!! Have a great Thursday :-) Happy Birthday “Sher Bear”Luv Ya
Just a quick Merry Christmas to all of you, and thank you so much for checking in,as you do on such a faithful basis :-) And a very Merry Christmas to all of my family, and especially my big brother Steve, and my other new friends out in Kingman Arizona !!!! For unto us a Child is born!!!
Emmanuel, meaning ,God is with us!!! Merry Christmas I’d like to take a minute and wish my oldest grandchild, Dane Lee, A Very Happy 13TH BIRTHDAY!!! I love you young man, 13 years, seems like yesterday, when we discovered three weeks later you would have to have heart surgery to repair a restricted aorta. The success of that surgery and God’s hands in that operating room,almost 13 years ago now, certainly made God Himself, assessable to us!! We can’t see our God, not even close, very few have, but thankfully Hevsent His Son, Jesus, who walked 33 years on this very earth to prove there is A God. As a grandparent the only concern right now In my life,is to make sure all nine grandkids receive Christ as Savior. The actual presence of God arrived some 2000 years ago, as a present to us. Some 13 years ago, God was in an operating room in Detroit Hospital For Children, Along with the skilled hands of Dr.Walters, we couldn't see Him but He was there!!! I send Dr. Walters a thank you note and a Christmas card each year, thanking him!!!! I thank God Every MORNING, with my arms stretched across my mantle (my altar)for sending a tangible Son to die in our place!! Happy 13TH Birthday Dane !! Grandpa Loves You!!! Merry Christmas, and thank you Lord, for the gift of Your Son,a gift that someday will return!!!
The miracle of Christmas does not need to be explained to those of us who believe in God. And for those who don’t believe in Christmas, no explanation is going to solve it for
them anyways!! The Jewish people made sure that the light of a lamp,never went out in the temple during Hanukkah, and God made sure the miracle of Christmas came to be the light of the world. Revelation 22 :5 reminds us that there will not be a need for a lamp, or the light of the sun in heaven, because the Lord God will give us the light. If you’ve ever been to Frankenmuth Michigan, in the evening hours,they leave their lights up all year to celebrate Christmas. It’s impressive for sure, just as Christ came to be the light of the world, God‘s miraculous gift to us !!!! Merry Christmas !!!! I love the Christmas song, WHAT CHILD IS THIS !!! The answer to that question is in Luke 2: 34 and 35. He’s Christ THE KING, THE SON OF MARY!!! The Child of Christmas came to be yours, and my Saviour!!! Talk about joy, Christ was born to bring God to man, and unfortunately there had to be the cruelty of the cross, so that Jesus could bring man to God. A perfect plan !!! With the fair question, WHAT CHILD IS THIS. Hope you know THEE I AM, if not,what a great time of year to invite HIM into your life. Merry Christmas :-)
