Our Attire for the Day-Jack Blake
Wednesday, June 26, 2024Good Morning,
Put on Love for it is the bond of perfection and let the word of God dwell in you richly and let the peace of God rule in your hearts. We are God's elect and as His elect we should have the same mind as He, putting on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, and longsuffering. In all we do, it is God's will and our duty to do all to the glory of God in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ, giving thanks to God, the Father, through Him. As God's children, we must take time to be holy, hold to God's unchanging hand, lean on His everlasting arms and He will light the way and brighten your day. This brethren is how to let our lights shine so others can see our good works, and glorify our Father in heaven.
My thoughts for this day which the Lord has made, and I fully intend to rejoice and be glad in it.Psalms 118.24.
Father, thank You for Jesus and for His word which we firmly stand and help us each day to put on the proper attire to face whatever life's challenges bring our way. in Jesus Name, AMEN
Our God and His will for us-Jack Blake
Friday, June 14, 2024Good Morning,
We must know and believe the words of David in Psalm 48.14; This God is our God for ever and ever; He will be our God even unto death. And the wise man said in Proverbs 3.5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart; lean not on your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths, for His word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. Psalm 119.105. God has taught us and showed us what is good and all He requires of us is to do justly, to love mercy, and to humbly walk with Him. See Micah 6.8. Salvation belongs to our God; what a wonderful savior is He.
Father, we thank you for your beloved Son Jesus and for Your word on which we firmly stand. Help us Father to never forget that You are the rock we lean on and our fortress and for Your sake lead us and guide us through this pilgrim land to our heavenly home. AMEN
The Son of God-Jack Blake
Wednesday, June 12, 2024Good 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.
The Church Jesus Built-Jack Blake
Wednesday, June 05, 2024Good Morning
Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious and he who believes in Him will by no means be put to shame. Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, the stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. They stumble being disobedient to the word to which they were appointed. (From 1 Peter 2.7-8). In verse 9 Peter speaks to and of those who follow Christ (Christians), those who believe, obey in all faithfulness, he says you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praise of Him who called you out of darkness and into His marvelous light. It is Christians who make up Christ's church (Matthew 16.18), the only church that was purchased by His very own blood, (Acts 20.28).
Rejoice-Jack Blake
Tuesday, June 04, 2024Good Morning,
The disciple is to rejoice in the Lord always. Philippians 4.4, and rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. Romans 12.15. Rejoicing only in the truth. 1 Corinthians 13.6. Rejoicing starts with a pure and honest heart, and is multiplied by being obedient to the will of God, rejoicing and being thankful. We probably could all do better.
