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,

Walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.  For the flesh lusts against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh and these are contrary to one another.  So that you do not do the things that you wish.  These are the works of the flesh: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, disenssensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkennsess, revelries.  Those who practice such things WILL NOT inherit the Kingdom of God.  Contrary to this is the fruit of the Spirit: love, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control.  THOSE WHO ARE CHRIST'S have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.  If we live in the Spirit let us also walk in the Spirit, and not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

From Galatians 5.16-25. Emphasis mine.

Good Morning,

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance (Psalms 33.12). When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan (Proverbs 29.2). We are always asking for God to bless America, and God has blessed this nation beyond measure; Maybe it's time for America to bless God with a thankful heart.  Turn back to Him in repentance and He will become our God, and we, His people.  There is no other way but His.

Good Morning,

This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. (Psalms 118.24).  Father, we come to You this morning on bended knee and humble our selves before Your throne, being thankful for Your protection and peace as we rested through the night; and for waking us to live this new day for you.  Give us, Father, our daily bread and forgive our sins as we forgive those who transgress us.  Lord, increase our knowledge of You and help us to understand that our plans for this day must be surrendered to Yours.  Help us to do all things in word and deed that will bring praise, honor and glory to Your holy name.  In Jesus name w pray, AMEN.

Good Morning,

Thus says the Lord; "Everyone who is called by My name, whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes I have made him." (Isaiah 43.7).  "This people I have formed for Myself; they shall declare My praise. (V21).  By Him let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name.  Do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. (Hebrews 13.15;16).  Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. (Revelation 4.11).  Lest we forget, we were created to do all things that will bring glory, honor, and praise to God.  May we always walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him and being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God. (See Colossians 1.10).
