Blessings from God
Seek Ye First-Keith Greer
Wednesday, July 24, 2024Good morning.
God has granted us another day to enjoy and serve Him. Everything that one has, hopes to have and the many blessings we enjoy in our lives are an expression of God’s love for us, James 1:17. How can anyone ever repay Him for all the good He has done, and will continue to do for us in this life? Jesus said it best in John 14:15, love Him and obey His words. Yet, as simple as that sounds it’s a daily challenge for each of us. One must submit and surrender their lives to Him by seeking His will first, Matthew 6:33. His will must replace my will and that is a battle for each of us. Yet, with Christ it can be accomplish, Philippians 4:13. Take time to talk with Him in prayer, read and mediate on His words and it will help us in fighting against our adversary the devil, 1 Peter 5:8. God is good and we thank Him for His love and grace in our lives. May we strive to be the best influence and example today so we can be of help in leading the sinner to Him and the benefits of the cross, Galatians 2:20. Wishing all of you a rich and blest day.
True peace and quietness-Jack Blake
Monday, July 15, 2024Good Morning,
Peace and quietness comes to all whose faith and trust is in the Lord. Those who form a willing godly, repentive, obedient heart, seeking the Kingdom of God, have an inner peace that surpasses all understanding. If we know and do all His commandments, Abide in His word, and His love, pray without ceasing, giving thanks for everything, 1 Thessalonians 5.17-18. And in word and deed, do all in the name of Lord Jesus being thankful through Him, Colossians 3.17. Your light will shine brightly, and others will see your good works and glorify our Heavenly Father, Matthew 5.16. And you will experience a true inner peace that can only come from living a quiet godly life. "Be still and know that I am God." Thus says the Lord.
If God be for Us=Jack Blake
Saturday, July 13, 2024Good Morning,
If God be for us, who can be against us? What can separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? No, for in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. See Romans 8.29,31,35-39. Be of good courage, and He said hallelujah, strengthen your heart, all you that hope in the Lord. Psalms 31.24. God loves those who love and keep His commandments
Love sweet love from above-Jack Blake
Wednesday, July 10, 2024Good Morning,
The greatest gift given to us from above is Jesus Christ, Son of God, who was sent by God and who willingly left His heavenly home to die for the sins of the world. Not His sins, because He was sinless, but your sins and mine that we might be reconciled with God and have hope of eternal life. This He done out of pure sweet love from above. For God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son. John 3.16. By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1 John 3.16. How sweet, how precious was this love from above which was given to us, not to keep to ourselves but to share with others. Today let's focus on Jesus the Christ and the love He has gifted us with and share it with others. Read 1 Corinthians 13.
The way of the cross-Jack Blake
Friday, July 05, 2024Good Morning,
Blessed be the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again, a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 1 Peter 1.3. And blessed are those who know, keep and do His commandments that they might have the right to the tree of life and may enter through the gates into the city. See Revelation 22.14. The Lord God has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness. 2 Peter 1.3. The Lord has shown us what is good and all He requires of us is to do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with Him. Micah 6.8. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father except through Him John 14.6. Your word, O Lord, has given me life Psalms 119.50. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave His life for me. Galatians 2.20. The way of the cross leads home and there is no other way.
