day 38: Luke 12:42-48 And then the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the me servants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portions with the unbelievers. And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes.

That name means something more than we can ever imagine.

day 37: Psalm 103:13-14;17-18 Like as a father pitieth them that fear him. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

It all starts with acknowledging God, and his glory and majesty exceeding all we can imagine. Expressing his love to all, sparing not his own so that we can, for he remembers that we are just dust.

God is worthy of all we have....

Amen...

day 36: Deuteronomy 6:4-5; Leviticus 19:18 Matthew 7:12; 1 John 5:3 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: and thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Thererfore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Enough said....

day 35: Matthew 7:21-23  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

As it is written, no flesh shall boast, but yet this world choose to keep a log of all they done, then I ask is it for the kingdom or for self?  You see God hates a prideful heart, and a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren, and feet that be swift in running to mischief.  Now God hate these things, but yet we repeat them, is there any fear of God in this world.

Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the judge of all, as well as the propitiation for all our sins.  Jesus died for the entire world, and told all that the Father placed him as the judge of the entire world.  God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, casting all under ignorance, being merciful removed our fate by the death of his Son, for he so loved us he spared not even his own Son so that we can live.  Yet we still continue to ignore even the warning of the one that was raised from the dead.


I ask again, is there any fear of God in this place?


Blessed is he that believeth and have not seen.

Day 34:  Galatians 2:18-20; Colossians 3:1-3 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.  For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:  and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.  IF YE then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.  Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.


God prepared an amazing earth for us all to dwell in, with no respect of persons, meaning we are all to be as one as God is one.  To love him is to love yourselves for created everyone after his own likeness and in his own image did he create them, male and female created he them. We all make mistakes on this journey, and the blessing of someone thinking so much of us all laid down all so that we all can be as he is in that great day that is to come..  Are you ready?

Christ is my offering of myself for me to live is to show how much both God and Jesus mean to me for we are to work out our own salvation. And, Jesus Christ is the author and finisher of our salvation, so are they worth sacrificing my all???  YES THEY ARE...


So what came up when you were Baptized is the question?

Amen.

Day 33: Psalm 16:5,8,1: 17:5  The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.  I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.  PRESERVE ME, O GOD: for in thee do I put my trust.  Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.

This world is self destructing right before our eyes, lets all show that the battle is his and is already won on the cross, and through him mercy and peace awaits all that love him.

Amen.

     

day 32: Micah 7:5-7; Proverbs 30:11-12; 16:25;16:2,6  Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the door of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.  Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.  There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.  There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.  There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.  All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.  By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by fear of the LORD men depart from evil.

When we say were Christians, and choose not to understand  the cornerstone that started it all, we then find ourselves following false prophets, false teachers, the thing which the Lord warned us of.  It is written in the book of 2 Corinthians 11:13-14 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.  For many deceivers are entered into the world, how will you stand if you don't know the power within us all?

If we open our hearts to understand that all have fallen short, and not allow peace and patience to reign we will continue to fight against those that are closest to us driving wedges where they should not be.  God teaches us to honor thy father and mother, do we?  God is Love. do we?  Lets be an example to all in how to love, not in hate.

When do we give love a fighting chance to breathe? Remember always to love thy neighbor as thy self, and to be mindful of what hurt us will hurt others unawares.  Forgiveness changes people for the better, especially when its daily.

Beloved, if God so loved us we ought also to love one another ( 1 John 4:11).  It all starts with the one in the mirror.

Amen.
