James 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?

GOOD MORNING,

By ONE man sin entered into the world, and DEATH by sin; and so DEATH passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. Romans 5.12.  For all have sinned and fall short of God's glory. Romans 3.23, and the WAGES of sin is DEATH.  But through Jesus the Christ our Lord, God has gifted us with eternal life. Romand 6.23.  God commanded His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, CHRIST DIED FOR US. Romans 5.8.  This gift from God is the gospel; given and enjoyed by all who have heard it preached receive it and stand by it.

By it we are saved, if we keep in memory this preaching of Christ and the Apostles, unless our belief is in vain.  According to the scriptures, CHRIST DIED for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day. See 1 Corinthians 15.1-4.  By God's grace we are saved through our faith; not of ourselves it is THE GIFT of GOD; not of works lest any man should boast. See Ephesians 2.8,9.  This is the testimony:that God has given us eternal life and this life is in His Son.  If we have the Son, we have life, if we do not have the Son we have not life.  Believe on the name of the Son of God. 1 John 5.11-13.

All emphasis are mine.

Good Morning,

We sometimes become discouraged in life.  But help to overcome is as close as the scriptures.  Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me. Psalms 138.7. Jesus said in John 14.1: "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in me.  For "peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14.27.  So let us not be weary in well doing, be of good courage and He will strengthen the heart of all that hope in the Lord. Psalms 31.24.  Wait on the Lord.

Good Morning,

Put on Love for it is the bond of perfection and let the word of God dwell in you richly and let the peace of God rule in your hearts.  We are God's elect and as His elect we should have the same mind as He, putting on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, and longsuffering.  In all we do, it is God's will and our duty to do all to the glory of God in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ, giving thanks to God, the Father, through Him.  As God's children, we must take time to be holy, hold to God's unchanging hand, lean on His everlasting arms and He will light the way and brighten your day.  This brethren is how to let our lights shine so others can see our good works, and glorify our Father in heaven.

My thoughts for this day which the Lord has made, and I fully intend to rejoice and be glad in it.Psalms 118.24.

Father, thank You for Jesus and for His word which we firmly stand and help us each day to put on the proper attire to face whatever life's challenges bring our way. in Jesus Name, AMEN

Christians are like sheep living in the midst of wolves because of the evil days we are in.  Therefore we must not be foolish, but wise in our speech and understanding.  Always keeping the will of the Lord, rejoicing in His goodness and always praying with thankful hearts to God the Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ.  If we will let our light shine brightly, someone may see our good works and praise our Heavenly Father.  So always love God, do good, hate and expose evil.  This is the will of the Father for us.

Thanks for reading.
