Good Morning,

From Psalms 34.11: come you children, listen to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.  The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;  A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.  His praise endures forever. Psalms 111.10.  The fear of the Lord is to hate evil:  Pride and arrogance and the evil way and also the perverse mouth I hate. Proverbs 8.13.  The fear of the Lord prolongs days. Proverbs 10.27.  The fear of the Lord leads to life Proverbs 19.23.  The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to turn one away from the snares of death. Proverbs 14.27.  Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man's all. Ecclesiastes 12.13.

Good Morning,

I serve a living God, an awesome God, who has such great power, strength, mercy and love for His creation.  Do you know my God, have you tasted of His goodness, have you felt His power and His love, have you taken time to see the beauty of His creation Psalms 19.1?  Sometimes I wonder if we don't get so wrapped up in ourselves that we overlook the most beautiful, wonderful things of life and fall back into the ways of the world?  If after examining our hearts, which is what God is after, we should find evil creeping in, KNOW THIS: there is still hope to save your poor wicked soul,  The name is Jesus, the beloved Son of God, the object is the cross, the event was the resurrection from death by the power of God which leads one to/ back into His loving, everlasting arms. Come out from among the wicked of the world, stand strong in the faith and the word of God.

These are my thoughts.Thanks for reading.

Good Morning,

Thinking and giving praise to my Lord this morning!  I praise Him for His power, strength and endurance, His word that guides us in this life and for His salvation. What a comfort and joy too be a child of His; He is the fountain of life, His words are the words of life. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and there is no other way to the Father except through Him.  HOW CAN ANY ONE REFUSE THIS ONE WHO LOVES US SO?  How can those of us who have tasted of His goodness leave His side and go back to the destructive ways of this world.  Oh, how sweet to trust in Jesus just to take Him at His word.

Father, thank you for your loving Son, Jesus the Christ, who lived a life of sorrow and grief and was despised and rejected and finally crucified on that old rugged cross for our sins so we could have a more abundant life. Thank You for Your word and help us each day to recognize who You are and find the joy in following the pattern which was left for us in Your word.  AMEN.

Good Morning,

If we have been crucified with Christ, buried with Him in baptism, see Romans 6. then it is no longer we who live but Christ now lives in us and the life we now live in the flesh, we live by faith in the Son of God. Galatians 2.20. So let us study to be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.  Let us walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work, strengthened with all might according to His glorious power for all patience and long-suffering with joy. See Colossians 1.9-10, for we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared before hand that wen should walk in them Ephesians 2.10.

Good Morning,

Sometimes Christians, like everyone, worry about things. but we have a loving God who says: Casting all your cares upon Him for He cares for you. 1 Peter 5.7. And let not your heart br troubled; You believe. in God, believe also in Me. John 14.1. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4.7.  And let the peace of God rule in your hearts to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful Colossians 3.15.  So we should take no thought for our life, what we shall eat or drink; nor yet for your body, what you shall put on.  Is not life more than meat, and the body more than raiment?  The fowls of the air sow not neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet the Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they? Matthew 6.26.  Therefore we need not worry about our life, what we will eat or drink, nor about your body, what you will put on.  Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Matthew 6.25.  Disciples of Christ should not worry, for God will find a way for you.
