Power of God
Created in God's Image-Jack Blake
Wednesday, July 03, 2024Good Morning
God created man in His own image; in the image of God created him; male and female He created them. Genesis 1.27. Every one, says God, who is called by My name whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes I have made him. This people I have formed of Myself; they shall declare My praise. Isaiah 43.7, 21. We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a special people that we may proclaim the praises of Him who has called us out of darkness and into His marvelous light. 1 Peter 2.9. Therefore, by Him let us let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name. For with such sacrifices, God is well pleased. Hebrews 13.15, 16. You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honor and power; For You have created all things and by Your will they exist and were created. Revelation 4.11.
Praise the Lord!-Jack Blake
Tuesday, July 02, 2024Good Morning
I will praise the Lord with my whole heart. For the works of the Lord are great; the heavens declare His glory and the firmament displays His handiwork. His works are studied by all who have pleasure in them. His work is honorable and glorious and His righteousness endures forever. He has made His wonderful works to be remembered. The Lord, our Lord is gracious and full of compassio . Praise the Lord, Oh my soul, praise His holy name and give to Him all glory and honor for He alone is worthy. Praise the Lord and be thankful for His mercy and His saving grace.
See Psalms 19.1; Psalms 107.21; Psalms 111.1-4
Life is like a vapor-Jack Blake
Monday, July 01, 2024James has rightly said: "Life is like a vapor that appears for a time and then vanishes away." James 4.14. This is a true statement because, it is also written that it is appointed for men once to die, and then comes the judgement. Hebrews 9.27. It is God who has the power to give life and to take life as He chooses. Today, this day, God has provided for us to live, rejoice and be glad in it to do His good pleasure. Psalms 118.24. So, since life is short and death and judgement are real and coming, let us open up our hearts and let the Son shine in. Let us hold fast to the word of life and do all things without complaining and disputing that we may become blameless and harmless children of God without fault in the midst of this crooked and perverse generation in which we live, and let our light shine brightly so others might see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. Philippians 2.13-16; Matthew 5.16. God wants us to live and be happy while doing His will. Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep. Romans 12.15. God is counting on us, will we be successful in living and serving Him?
Fear of the Lord-Jack Blake
Thursday, June 20, 2024Good 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.
Our God is Alive-Jack Blake
Saturday, May 18, 2024Good Morning,
The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." But that foolish statement is an outright lie. For there is a God, a living God and the heavens declare His glory and the firmament shows His handiwork. (Psalms 19.1). Our God is alive and well sitting on His throne in heaven, ruling over heaven and earth. He encourqes and helps us in times of trouble. By His strength He vindicates us. He is the all knowing one who knows and searches the hearts of men. He is all powerful giving and taking life as He choses. Oh, yes, there is a God in whom all faithful obedient believers live and move and have their being. (Acts 17.28) and we owe, we owe our life to Him. By the way have you talked to God today to thank Him for your every blessing, and to let Him know how much you love Him for being our God and accepting us as His children?
