Seeking God
A Blessed Nation-Jack Blake
Tuesday, May 28, 2024Good 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.
A Morning Prayer-Jack Blake
Friday, May 24, 2024Good 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.
Fruitful in God's Work-Jack Blake
Tuesday, May 21, 2024Good 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).
Thinking of God-Jack Blake
Monday, May 20, 2024Good 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.
Seek Purity-Jack Blake
Tuesday, May 14, 2024Good Morning,
The heart is decietful above all things and desperately wicked. (Jeremiah 17.9). For out of the heart proceeds evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness and blasphemies. These are things which defile a man. (Matthew 15.19). A man's heart reveals the man. (Proverbs 27.19).
Jesus said in His sermon on the mount: Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. (Matthew 5.8). Therefore if we are to be blessed with seeing God, we must purify our hearts (James 4.8), meditate on things that are pure (Philippians 4.8), serve with a good conscience (2 Timothy 1.3), and keep ourself pure. (1 Timothy 5.22).
