Glorify our God-Jack Blake
Monday, November 25, 2024Good Morning, There are many reasons to Glorify God. We should Glorify God in the power of His creation and in the power He displays in the universe; The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament shows His handiwork. Psalms 19.1. He causes the sun to rise from one end of heaven and complete its circuit by setting in the opposite end. In between the rising and the setting of the sun we see the brightness and the beauty of His creation. Glorify God! He has made the moon and the stars to rule and give light to the night. Glorify God! His word which is perfect, teaches us the moral values of this life making wise the simple; His statutes bring joy to the heart. Glorify God! He gave us His only Son, Jesus the Christ, who gave His life for our sins shedding His precious blood that cleanses the soul and washes away our sins giving us hope of eternal life. Glorify God! He has mercy on us and gives us His saving grace forgiving us our sins as we repent of them. Glorify God! Let us be thankful, praising and glorifying His holy name humbly and often.
Growing older in Christ-Jack Blake
Saturday, November 23, 2024Good Morning, As we move closer toward life's end, we grow weary, the body grows weak and the toll taken of by struggles of this life can no longer be ignored. But we also become more excited and enthusiastic by the thought of getting closer to the goal for which we have lived which fills us with a zest that simply cannot be experienced any earlier in life. With each passing day the words of Paul in 2 Corinthians 4.16 become more and more real to us "Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day." Just saying.
Is Your Heart Right With God-Jack Blake
Friday, November 22, 2024Good Morning, The Lord does not see as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16.7. This being true, God desires the heart that is pure, humble, loving and obedient. A heart that listens, hears and does God's will pleases the God of our salvation. Man's circumstances and troubles of this world may test our faith and our patience, but it is the righteous God who tests the heart and mind and saves the upright in heart. Jesus the Christ said, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." Matthew 5.8. Where lies your heart this morning? Will it pass the test of God? Is your heart right with God?
Our Example-Jack Blake
Thursday, November 21, 2024Good Morning, Christ lived to give us an example of how we should live, and sacrificed His life, being crucified on the cross for the sins of the world. He was resurrected from death back to life proving He is a conqueror and ascended back to heaven where He now sits at the right hand of the throne of God as our King, interceding for us as our high Priest. All praise, glory and honor to His name!
Decide to follow Jesus-Jack Blake
Wednesday, November 20, 2024Good Morning, JESUS, the Christ, King of all kings, Lord of all lords is the one I have decided to follow, because He lives still today, seated at the right hand throne of God. He is my bread when I'm hungry, my shelter from troubled winds, my anchor in life's ocean, who has the words of eternal life. JESUS, my best friend, merciful, forgiving and full of grace towards us. JESUS my only reason for living. He is the way the truth and the life, the only way to the Father is through Him. JESUS, the only name under heaven by which we must be saved. JESUS, just and fair in His judgements, the one all will stand in front of on that great and glorious day to give an account of the things done on earth, in this body whether good or bad. We have no greater friend than JESUS, for there is no friend like the lowly JESUS, no not one. These are just some of the reasons I try to take up my cross daily and follow JESUS. Decide this day whom you will follow. Thanks for reading..
