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.
Trust in the Lord-Jack Blake
Saturday, June 01, 2024Good Morning,
Trust in the Lord. Obey His commandments. For He is a true friend who has promised to never leave nor forsake all who will abide in Him. In times of darkness, He will light the way. In times of trouble, He provides strength, that we may endure and be victorious over trials, tribulations and temptations. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind, because He first loved you and gave His life for you. A hope for our inheritance and eternal life.
Our Hope is In God-Jack Blake
Monday, May 27, 2024Good Morning,
The whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one. And according to the proverbs of the ancients, wickedness proceeds from the wicked (1 Samuel 24.13). And like it or not, we have to live in this broken sin filled world. But there is hope for the faithful obedient, for we are of God.(1 John 5.19). As children of God, we still must grow in the Spirit and in the likeness of our creator while being surrounded by the troubles and evils of the world.
Father, You are our strength and only hope to help us overcome the evil one and his wicked ways. As we humble ourselves under Your mighty hand, Father, we give praise, honor and glory to your most holy name. Praising and blessing You for Your truth, Your greatness, Your goodness, Your mercy and Your loving kindness. Father, as our creator and the God of our salvation, we thank you for Your word on which we stand, and for Jesus who gave His life for us that we might have a more abundant life. This we pray in Jesus name. AMEN.
Foundation of Faith-Jack Blake
Thursday, May 09, 2024Good Morning,
As for God, His way is perfect, His word, which is truth, is proven over and over again. The Lord, my God, is my solid rock, the foundation on which I build my faith. He is my fortress and my deliverer, my strength in whom I trust fully. He is my shield, and stronghold. I call upon the Lord who is worthy to be praised. ( See Psalms 18.2,3). I humble myself under the mighty hand of my God and cast all my cares upon Him, that in due time He may exalt me, for I know He cares for me. (See 1 Peter 5.6,7). Oh, magnify the Lord my God with me, and together let us exalt His name. (from Psalms 34.3).
Trust and Obey-Jack Blake

Blessed be the Lord our God who blesses us every day with His lovingkindness, mercy, grace and all that is good. He is our refuge and our strength, a real help in times of trouble. ( Psalms 46.1). In Him alone is eternal life, without Him is death and eternal damnation.
Reading from Jeremiah 17.7; Blessed is he who trusts in the Lord and whose hope is in the Lord. Trust and obey Him for He is the rock of our salvation, His word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. (Psalm 119.105) Brethren and friends, God is our only hope. God gives and takes life as He chooses. We have life now, but no one knows when our last breath will be drawn.
Thanks for reading.
