True Love

There was a man named Job in the bible that was upright and blameless, who feared God. Job also shunned evil, that means he persistently ignored or avoided evil. So why did Jesus allow Job to endure horrific pain and lose his children, his possessions? I think sometimes God allows others to see your tribulations that others may magnify God in His manifestations. That we also may know, that it was nobody but God that brought us out. Sometimes the trials comes to make us strong in the Lord. If God allows sickness; He said by Jesus stripes; we are healed! God can do anything but fail and everything that He does is good. When we trust God we are assured, that He work all things out for the good; to those that loves Him, that are called according to His divine purpose.

God would like for us to trust Him through the pain, sometimes the shame that we may glorify; magnify, His holy Name. He said, we could take all our burdens to the Lord and leave them there. Jesus gave Himself that we may gain eternity. Sometimes a lost in the natural is for our gain in the spirit. We may not understand all things now, but we will understand it better by and by.

Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell to the ground and worshiped. And he said: Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return there. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord. In all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong. {Job 1:20-22} It is not always because someone is doing wrong; has sinned that God allows trials in their lives. Because the bible tells us, that there is no one that is good; God continues to express mercy to all, that He has made because He loves us unconditionally.

He's Knocking

Many times in Hebrew it says, "Today if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts." And today, God is saying the same to many people around the world, if you would hear my voice do not harden your hearts. Jesus continues to knock at the door of many hearts, that we allow Him to come into our lives. It's just that simple, if we abide in the Lord, He will most definitely abide in us. He will take up residency in our mind, body and soul.

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our body washed with pure water. {Hebrews 10:22} When we accept Jesus as your personal Savior He washes all our sins away; we become new creatures in Jesus. Almost like starting over again, the old He throws into the sea of forgiveness. God loves us so, that's why He continues to show mercy to all that He has made. And God would like all of us to spend eternity with Him, but it's our choice to make. Whether we take heed to His voice or ignore God continually, He is merciful!

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock, If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me."To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on my throne, as I also overcame and sat down with my Father on His throne."He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ; {Revelation 3:20-22}

Let Us Praise God

When the praises go up, surely the blessings will come down. The Lord delights in the praises of His creations. We are God's creations, it gives Him great joy when we may praise Him, the Most High God. We may praise Him for what He has brought us out of in the past. We may also praise Him for what He is doing right now and what He will  do in the future. The bible says, God is the same today, yesterday and tomorrow. God don't change and that is enough to praise Him, for He is worthy of all our praise. If we don't praise Him for anything else, we can praise God because He has allowed us to see another day. Let us praise Him this day!

In Psalm 29 1-2, it says; Give unto the Lord, O you mighty ones;give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name. Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. This is a psalm of David but we may have our own reasons for praising the Lord but whatever the reason God is worthy.of the highest praise. Today, I will praise God for everything He has done in my life. I know that I never would have made without God on my side. I have a legitemate reason to praise the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings.

In the beginning God created us in His likeness, for His purpose. God made us, that we may glorify Him; magnify His holy name in all we do or say. This is the prayer of Solomon saying that God shall endure forever; His name shall continue as long as the sun. And men shall be blessed in Him. All nations shall call Him blessed. Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel. Who only does wondrous things! And bless be His glorious nane forever! And let the whole earth be filled with His glory Amen and amen. Psalm 72:17-20

The Lord's Creation

Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous!
For praise from the upright is beautiful.
Praise the Lord with the harp;
Make melody to Him with an instrument
  of ten strings.
Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.
For the word of the Lord is right,
And all His work is done in truth.
He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the goodness of the
   Lord.
By the word of thr Lord the heavens
   were made,
And all the host of them by the breath
   of His mouth.
He gathers the waters of the sea together
    as a heap;
He lays up the deep in storehouses.
Let all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitantsof the world
   stand in awe of Him
For He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.
Psalm 33:1-9       

Allow God

Sometimes as children of God, it seems like we're alone but we must reassure ourselves that Jesus is there. In Hebrew chapter 13:5 it says, Let your conduct be without covetousness, be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." And in verse 6, it says that we may speak boldly, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?  As His children, God is our helper, we have no need to fear situations that seems impossible in our lives. Allow God to direct your path, to walk with you through your purpose. God will prosper us, as we acknowledge Him in all our ways, seek Him and all His righteousness. Many people think of only materialistic things as prosperity. That's all good, but it is better to embrace God's love, peace and joy because God already know what we need. Ask yourself; Can you take any of your material blessing with you when you leave this world? And also; What are you doing with the material blessings God has allowed you to received? We should live to please God by allowing Him to help us; guide us, in all that we do while on earth.

See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did escape who refused Him who spoke on earth much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven. Whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying,"Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven." Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire. Hebrew 12:25-29

Again, I will say; Allow God to direct your path, through the good and the trials of life. "Don't let go, of His unchanging hands, He is there with you." The earth belongs to God, everything that was made was because of Him. Today, you have been given the opportunity to allow God!

Your Glory

Give unto the Lord, O you mighty ones
Give unto the Lord glory and strength.
Give unto the the glory due to His name;
Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
The God of glory thunders;
The Lord is over many waters.
The voice of the is full of majesty.
           Psalm 29:1-4

I am so glad God has allowed me to see another day; to be able to praise Him. I will look to the Lord for His love that I may be able to love others as He does. God's peace, I will embrace in this new day; His peace that surpasses all understanding. And His joy, I will seek early, before I began a new day. Allow Your presence to surround my life, that Your light may shine continually throughout this day. Early Lord I will seek You!

Receive Your Blessings

In John 6:39, it says not to lose heart, even though you will have trouble, Jesus has overcome the world. Jesus want us to trust Him, acknowledge His ways, that we may receive His full benefits. Yes, God want to bless us exceedingly, more abundantly than we can ever imagine, when we yield to His divine purpose for our lives. Many times we have not, because we fail to simply ask. In Matthew chapter 18:19 says, Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it shall be done for them by My Father in heaven. "For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst. When we are one accord as believers it is certainly beneficial for us, with our walk with Christ. 

This is the prayer Jesus prayed for all believers; [Chapter 17:20-22] "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they also may be one in Us. That the world may believe You sent Me."And the glory that You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one. You may receive Your blessings when you receive Jesus, because God wants to bless you. And as believers in Jesus we are all one; Do you receive Jesus this day! Jesus conquered the greatest mission that we may live eternally with His full benefit, that is freely given to all. It's up to you to receive your blessings in Christ Jesus. Again, "I will say, Receive your blessings."

Blessed

God has again, allowed us to be a part of a new day, that He has made. It is not by accident we are here today, among the living. God has a plan for our lives that was given by Him in the beginning. He knew us before He created us in our mother's womb. What a Mighty God! It was God that made us in the image of Himself for His divine purpose. How do we know our purpose, some may be wondering? Well, God has said, in His words, seek me first and all My righteousness that all these things shall be added to you. We would have to allow God to guide us, walk with us, that His purpose may be revealed in us. God will not reveal our purpose all at once; He will take us through the process, step by step. David said, in Psalm 63:1; O, God, You are my God and early I will seek you. My soul thirsts for you; my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land. And in verse 2, David also said, so I looked for You in the sanctuary to see Your power and Your glory. David had a desire to hear from the Lord; to fellowship with Him early. Do you have a desire to seek God first in your life? That He may lead you in all His righteousness, that you may be exceedingly blessed by the Creator of the world.


Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.
                                                                        Psalm 33:12

There Is Hope

When Jesus died on the cross for our sins, He ascended back to the Father. But He did not leave us comfortless, He left His Spirit.  It was the Holy Spirit that He gave to all that has accepted Him in their hearts; as their personal Savior. Now we know as believers, we are not alone, His Spirit resides in us. In Romans 8:26-27, it states that the Spirit helps us in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Also in Romans 8:28, we know that all things work together for good to those that love God, to those that are called according to His purpose. God knew us before we ever existed on earth, He have a purpose for all His creations. We may fulfill the purpose that was given by God, by following where He leads. There is hope in God, when we embrace Him, that we may fulfill His divine purpose.

God's Protection

There are benefits when we abide in the secret place of the Most High. In Psalm 91; verse 1, it says He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. With God abiding in us, we are secured in Him through the the good times and even in the difficult times. In verse 4, we know by abiding in God, that He shall cover us with His feathers. There is no need to be afraid when God have you covered.
Do you want to be covered by God? Well, when God abides in us, and we in Him, we are most certainly covered, protected by Him. Further in the chapter in verse 7, Imagine a thousand falling at your side and ten thousand at your right hand. But it shall not come near you. Because the Most High God have you covered.
It is written, in the bible on many occasions, God has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." He also said, I am there until the end of time; He is with us! So that tells me, God would like to abide in us forevermore.


He who dwells in the secrets place of the Most High; shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust."
                                                 Psalm 91:1

Jesus Rejected

Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, that He departed from there. When He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, "Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works? "Is this not the Carpenter's Son?" Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon and Judas? "And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?" So they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, " A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and his own house." Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.   Matthew 13:53-58

Today, the Savior of the world has been rejected by many people, because they simply don't believe in Jesus. Many has not accepted Him as their personal Savior in their lives. God said, "I gave my Son that whomever believes will have everlasting life. When you accept Jesus, you are accepting an everlasting life that was given freely. God has given us the opportunity to accept Jesus or we can reject Him. Whatever we decide to choose, there are consequences, wages will be paid. For the wages of sin is death and the gift of God is eternal life, to those that has accepted Jesus. Have you accepted Jesus as your personal Savior?

In My Heart

I will praise the Lord with my whole heart,
In the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.
                            Psalm 11:1

But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does nor see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.     I Samuel 16:7


 I am so glad 'I got Jesus in my heart,' He is walking and talking with me spiritually. The Lord continues to reveal the purpose He has for my life, in the beauty of His holiness. God continues to shower His love on me and all that He has made. God's will, in your life can be done; Only if you ask! We have been given another day to be able to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth. Another chance to seek God first in our hearts that He may lead us through our purpose. The purpose that was given to all, but only made available to the ones that willingly receives. Let us walk in the divine purpose of the Creator, knowing that He is in our hearts. And still God is merciful to all, as He continues to knock, at the door of many hearts around the globe. While other looks at the outward appearances; God is examining our hearts. I'm glad Jesus is in my heart. Are you glad?

Another Day to Praise Him

For the word of the Lord is right, And all His work is done in truth; The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.                    Psalm 33:4-6

The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders. The Lord is over many waters; the voice of the Lord is powerful. The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.    Psalm 29:3-4

Let us praise God for His glory; He is worthy. God is the truth; He is the same today, yesterday, and tomorrow. We exist because God called us from our mother's womb. He made us in the image of Himself for His purpose. The earth belongs to Him and all that is within belongs to the Creator of the world. And I am very grateful to be able to praise God for His goodness.

God Is Great

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praise;
And His greatness is unsearchable.
One generation shall praise Your works to another,
And shall declare Your mighty acts
And I will declare Your greatness.
They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness,
And shall sing of Your righteousness.
The Lord is gracious and full of compassion,
Slow to anger and great in mercy.
The Lord is good to all,
And His tender mercies are over all His works.
                   Psalm 145:3-9

In this Psalm, David is talking about the goodness and mercy of God. Personally, I know God is good and He is good all the time. Even though, I am not all I should be, God is still merciful. God's mercy continues to endure throughout the world. He is merciful to all His divine creations, no matter who, He has shown mercy. Today, embrace God's goodness into your lives!

Jesus Is My Rock

They gather together against the life of the righteousness,
And condemn innocent blood,
But the Lord has been my defense,  And my God the rock
   of my refuge.
He has brought on them their own iniquity,
And shall cut them off in their own wickedness;
The Lord our God shall cut them off.
                 Psalm 94:21-23

The bible says, we should love our enemies: pray for those that mistreat us. How can we do that some may ask? When Christ lives in you, you may do all things through Him that gives you strength. Jesus will give you the strength to love your enemies. He want us to express mercy with others, as He has also shown mercy toward us. Let us continue to focus on the big picture; the earth belongs to God and everything that was made is because of God. Children of God, we don't have to walk around with our head hanging down. because God said, 'soon the wicked shall be cut off.'

Don't Give Up

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
For he who sows to the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
And let us not grow weary while doing good to all, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are the household of faith. Galatians 6:6-10

When you feel like giving up, call Jesus, He will answer. For He is merciful, He continues to knock at the door of many hearts around the world. As believers, we lean, depend, on Jesus when everything else around seem to falling apart. God is there through the good and the bad situations. Hold on to His unchanging hand and don't give up!

An Awesome God

Bless the Lord. O my soul!
O Lord my God, You are very great;
You are clothed with honor and majesty,
Who cover Yourself with light as with
   a garment,
Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain.
 He lays the beams of His upper chambers
   in the waters,
Who makes the clouds His chariot,
Who walks on the wings of the wind,
Who makes the angels spirits,
His ministers a flame of fire.
             Psalm 104

Rejected

The Jews then complained about Him, because He said, "I am the bread which came down from heaven." And they said,"Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, 'I have come down from heaven?" Jesus therefore answered and said to them,"Do not murmur among among yourselves. No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.    John 6:41-44
Jesus is saying in this chapter; He is the living bread that came down from heaven that whom ever eats this bread will live eternally. Many did not believe Him, because they knew Him as the Son of Joseph and Mary. But they really didn't know Him; if they had known Him personally, they probably would not have denied Him.

Thankful

My brethen, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let the patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete lacking nothing. If you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. James 1:2-6
God never said, in His words that we would not have trials in our lives. But He did say, "I am with you even until the end of the earth." Knowing that God, is with us through it all, is enough to be grateful and thankful to the Creator of all things. I thank God for my trials, knowing that the trials in life makes me strong. I am also thankful for patience, God has allowed me to express with others and in many situations. It is by faith, I can do all things through Christ that gives me strength.

Hope In the Lord

Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
While I live I will praise the
    Lord;
I will sing praises to my God
    while I have my being.
Do not put your trust in
    princes,
Nor in the son of man, in whom
    there is no help,
His spirit departs, he returns to
    his earth;
In that very day his plans perish.
Psalm 146:1-5
