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

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).

Good 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.

Good Morning,

What beautiful thoughts I am thinking of Jesus and the pattern He has left us about how to live a pure and blameless life.  How He has taught us the true meaning of love and forgiveness toward others.  How He speaks of the persecutions we may face in this life and how He will never leave us nor forsake in these times but will be our help during these times of danger.  How He gave His life for us so we might have life and have it more abundantly.  My faith looks up to thee, Lord, my will I surrender to Your will.  I must have Jesus to guide me, guard me and protect me against the evils of this ungodly generation.  It is unreal that He has taught me all that is good, and only requires of me to do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with my God.

What beautiful thoughts I am thinking. Thank You Father for Your Son, for your word, and for Your love which gives us salvation.

Good Morning,

We begin the day on bended knee to give thanks to our God. Then we put on the whole armor of God and go out into this sin sick world where we may face many trials and temptations. Remember to take the sword of the Spirit,(God's word) with you and be readys to give an answer to all who might ask the reason for your faith. Place yourself under the mighty hand of God, and let your light shine brightly to reveal the beauty of Jesus in you.
