After singing the song, right out of that chapter, they ended the song with the famous saying “I swear it’s not too late”. It’s not, it’s never too late to turn to Christ, He gives you till your last breath to receive Him as Savior. If you know Christ today in a personal way, thank Him for 2020 and for guidance in 2021 , If you haven’t received Christ yet as your Savior, “I swear it’s not too late”. Happy 40th birthday to my nephew Jeff, continued prayers for Steve Kelli Maverick and yourself. No New Year’s resolutions for me, just determination to serve Christ better . Be safe, stay healthy, keep your prayers said and your Bible read!! 👍🙏📖 Thanks for checking in, and HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎈🎆🎊 ONE DAY IT WILL BE TO LATE
In 1965, towards the end of the year, The Yardbirds came out with the popular song Turn Turn Turn!! It was a worldwide number one hit of any chart made. I remember that song as a kid, and I remember being so proud of The Yardbirds that they took the words of that song right out of The Scriptures, the Third Chapter Of Ecclesiastes !!!

Outside of the talent of singing, I really can’t think of any gift that God gives us that we don’t have to work at to master that certain talent!! Example ,playing the piano you don’t just sit down and start playing, you have to practice. That’s true with any instrument, sports, surgeon,skills that you develop through practice. As we get ready to enter 2021, if the Lord doesn’t come between now and Friday morning, how much effort are you going to put into the practice of reading your Bible and saying your prayers, in this slower pace of life that we are currently living. We should be honing in on the skills of memorizing scripture, being a great witness, and leading our families in prayer. Yep, it takes practice to become good at both. As 2020 is about to exit, the rearview mirror is not where we should be looking, but straightahead. We’ve all heard “practice what you preach” I say “preach what you practice” :-) Thank you for the continued prayers for Steve Maverick and Kelli. Have a great Tuesday and as always keep your prayers said and your Bibles read 👍🙏📖
PRACTICE DOES NOT ALWAYS MEAN PERFECT, BUT IT DOES MEAN YOU ARE STILL TRYING!!!! “You are what you eat” we’ve all heard it,probably have even said it 👍. Jeremiah 15:16, says that he found favorable words from God’s Word and “ate” them, and it brought rejoicing to his heart. The Bible of course is packed full of healthy nutrients,and in some cases even a brain teaser, if you know what I mean. As 2021 approaches, let’s promise ourselves a daily trip to Gods Buffet for our soul, reading and eating HIS WORD. If you could pray today for Kelli Maverick and Steve muchly appreciated. Keep your prayers said and your Bibles read 👍🙏📖 and enjoy this last Monday of 2020.
“ READ AND FEED, OUT OF GODS WORD “ David made it very clear in his 34th chapter of Psalms, verse four,where he pens “ I sought the Lord, and He heard me.”When we know God personally,through His Son,Jesus Christ, love develops because of our faith in Him!! The personal Love that we have for Jesus, comes from the personal relationship that we have with Him on a daily basis. Christ doesn’t want to be your afterthought, He wants to be your way, the truth, and the light!!! God is not into part time, or hit and miss followers, He wants sold out soldiers of the cross !!
MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄
If you’re by yourself, or with family members today, read Luke 2: 1-20 It never gets old !!! For Unto Us 👍🙏📖 “No Room At The Inn” No Problem!!! In fact, it’s how God had it planned all along!!! I hope your Christmas Eve includes the truth and calmness of that very special night the year !!! It wasn’t meant for last minute shopping, or life going by at the speed of sound, it was about a quiet stable,a virgin,teenage Mother, that would deliver The King Of Kings !!! Merry Christmas!!!!! He came to die for us!!! What A Gift !! Open Up Your Life To That Gift Today!!!
Would like to take a minute and wish my oldest Grandchild, Dane Lee, a very HAPPY 14TH BIRTHDAY!!
He is the leader of nine of them, and his little brother, and little sister, and all six of his cousins love him. He had a rough start coming into this world, had heart surgery when he was three weeks old. Praise the Lord he’s doing just fine, and is such a fine example of what a teenager should be like to his” LITTLES “love you Dane. The apostle Paul reminds us in the letter that he wrote to the Hebrews, in chapter 12, that we are to look up to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Anytime you look up to someone or follow their lead, it’s usually because of the trust that you have in them. When you look at it this way, all the joy and hope that Christ gives us, because He endured the cross. If we can’t look up to that and believe it, you are so missing what life is about. The Awesome responsibility of leader ship,Comes with the fact you have to toe the line too!! LOVE YOU DANE,LEAD ON Keep those prayers said and your Bibles read 👍🙏📖Have a great Wednesday!!! The Christmas story is found in Luke, The second coming of “THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD” is promised in Revelation!! This is the miracle we can all look forward to. In Old Testament Times, when the Jewish people would celebrate Hanukkah, they would have enough oil in their lamps to last for eight days. The light of the world has already come, CHRISTMAS, and when He comes again, as HE has promised, that light will never go out!! His brightness will last for eternity, not eight days. Talk about something to look forward to!!! With disease,death and darkness all around us these days, we are reminded in the 21st chapter of Revelation,there will be no more pain, darkness or hurt. The Light Of The World, came some 2000 years ago to give us hope, so that someday we will spend eternity in the brightness of Out Saviour, and His light will never dim. Hang in there, keep your prayers said and your your Bibles read 👍🙏📖🎄Extra prayers today please for Kelli Kris & Maverick 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Thank You and just think,for those of us who believe, this darkness will be all bright LIGHT someday!!! Talk about the best Christmas present ever 🙏 🎁
Yesterday, on my weekly shopping trip, I heard a voice calling out my name as I started down one of the aisles with my cart!! It was a friend of mine, George, who I hadn’t seen in years, both of us with masks on,but I finally figured out who he was. He was the most important man to a builder here in East Lansing, that developed my neighborhood 40 some years ago!!! It was George’s job to keep everybody happy who had bought a home from this builder. Another words he was the top gun of the hood :-) From there his hard work lead him to a job for the city of East Lansing, and now he’s retired He was the one who handed all the calls, little sticky notes of this, that and this, is wrong with the house, and then he would solve all the problems and make everybody happy. The second chapter of Luke is about Jesus coming to earth to be born as our Savior. Verse 11,makes it very personal by saying “for unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour which is Christ the Lord”. The word YOU, makes it very personal as to why God came down, left a perfect Heaven, to be born of a baby, to save this world. Every day that George would start on his workday he would have a list of what he hoped to accomplish to keep the new homeowner happy. Every day we can look to Christ as to the reason why He came was just for us,so we could hand Him our list of life each day, knowing that we had a Saviour that loved us enough to come and live a perfect life, to give that life on the cross, to rise from the dead, so we can trust and know Him and give Him our daily list of needs. We,like the shepherds after they saw the Christ child, should take today and just want to tell everybody about what they saw. This world wants to change Christmas,and leave Christ out of it, Jest came and loved us enough to die for us,let’s be strong enough to talk about HIM this week. Continued prayers please please please for Kelli & Maverick!! Keep those prayers said and your Bibles read 👍🙏📖🎄
“FOR UNTO YOU “ Another words, you are the reason Christ came!!! Good seeing ya George!!! Thank you for Luke 2 Lord, what a great week to tell everyone you personally know THE KING OF KINGS, certainly no hope without CHRISTMAS!!! |
