God's Word is Light-Jack Blake
Tuesday, August 27, 2024Good Morning,
God's word is our guide for living here. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalms 119.105. Keep your Fathers commandments, bind them continually on your heart, tie them around your neck. When you roam, they will lead you, when you sleep they will keep you and when you awake, they will speak with you. For the commandment is a lamp and the law a light; reproofs of instruction is the way of life, to keep us from evil. Jesus said to those Jews who believed on Him, "If you continue in My word, then are you My disciples in deed; And you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free."
Pray for me!
Be Wise, Abstain from Evil-Jack Blake
Thursday, July 11, 2024GOOD MORNING,
The simple believes every word, but the prudent considers well his steps. A wise man fears and departs from evil, but a fool rages and is self confident. A quick tempered man acts foolishly. And a man of wicked intentions is hated. The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge. The evil will bow before the good, and the wicked at the gates of righteousness. Proverbs 14.15-19. Disciples, who is wise and understanding among you? Show by good conduct that your works. are done in the meekness of wisdom. See James 3.13. Forget not, there is a way that seems right to man, but its end is the way of death. Proverbs 14.12. And remember the eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good. Proverbs 15.3. Seek. good and not evil. Amos 5.14. Abstain from every form of evil.
Battle With the Flesh-Jack Blake
Monday, June 10, 2024Good Morning,
In Galatians 5, we are told to walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. There is a constant battle going on inside us between the Spirit and the flesh and these two are contrary to each other. Continue reading from Galatians5.16 to the end of the chapter and note especially Galatians5.24-25. To walk the Spirit is to walk in love, having the mind of Christ. And when I look at 1 Corinthians 13 and read what love is and is not. I have to ask myself, do I show this love to others and do I truly have the mind of Christ. I most certainly can do better!
Jesus, The Way of Truth-Jack Blake
Saturday, May 25, 2024Good Morning,
"The law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ," the Lamb of God. (See John 1.17, 36). Jesus said, "I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me, and you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free." (John 14.6, John 8.32). The Lord is near and all His commandments are true. (Psalms 119.151). Let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. By this we know that we are of the truth and shall assure our hearts before Him. (1 John 3.18-19). His word is truth (John 17.17). The Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting and His truth endures to all generations. (Psalms 100.5). Being His disciples we are to feed on His word, which is truth, do His commandments and walk and worship Him in truth and in spirt. (John 4.24).
His Word is Truth-Jack Blake
Wednesday, May 22, 2024Good Morning,
All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man is as the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower thereof falls away: But the word of the Lord endures forever. And this is the word by which the gospel is preached to you. But we were born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God which lives and abides forever. (See 1 Peter 1.23-25). So the grass may wither, and the flower fade; but the word of our God shall stand for ever. (See Isaiah 40.8). It is written, heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away. (Matthew 24.35). Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word which is able to save your souls. And be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. (James 1.21, 22). For His word is a lamp to the feet and lights our path. (Psalms 119.105). So let the word of Christ dwell in you richly. (Colossians 3.16). For His word is truth. (John 17.17).
