Know God-Jack Blake
Tuesday, June 18, 2024Good Morning,
I serve a living God, an awesome God, who has such great power, strength, mercy and love for His creation. Do you know my God, have you tasted of His goodness, have you felt His power and His love, have you taken time to see the beauty of His creation Psalms 19.1? Sometimes I wonder if we don't get so wrapped up in ourselves that we overlook the most beautiful, wonderful things of life and fall back into the ways of the world? If after examining our hearts, which is what God is after, we should find evil creeping in, KNOW THIS: there is still hope to save your poor wicked soul, The name is Jesus, the beloved Son of God, the object is the cross, the event was the resurrection from death by the power of God which leads one to/ back into His loving, everlasting arms. Come out from among the wicked of the world, stand strong in the faith and the word of God.
These are my thoughts.Thanks for reading.
Our Adversary-Jack Blake
Monday, June 17, 2024Good Morning,
Disciples, while doing God's will, be careful out there for our adversary, the Devil is roaming around to see who he can devour, he will go to any lengths and measures to try and lure you away from the only one who truly loves and care for your soul. Satan can make his ways sound and look so good to you that we too can become a stubborn, rebellious people, having a form of godliness and yet deny The power of God, thereby rejecting God and ignoring His words, crucifying His Son again, putting Him to an open shame. If we should happen to fall into the pitfall of his destructive schemes, there is still a way back to a right relationship with God, and that is through His son, Jesus the Christ, and repentance of our sins. It is written, unless we repent we will all likewise perish. Luke 13.3-5
The importance of the resurrection of Jesus-Jack Blake
Saturday, June 15, 2024Good Morning,
The Apostles through Jesus Christ received grace and Aposleship by their obedience to their faith among all nations for His name. Jesus, our Lord was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, but declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection from the dead. Yet even His disciples, including the Apostles, after seeing all His miracles, and heard all of His preaching and had become believers Matthew 16.13-16, had their hopes weakened when Jesus was crucified. Their thoughts were since He was dead, He could not have been the Messiah. But they, even Thomas, understood the true meaning of the resurrection after they saw Him with their own eyes after He was resurrected from the dead. They were doubters at the crucifixion but they became evangelists and It was the resurrection that convicted their hearts and changed their minds.
Reading Romans 1.3-5.
Our God and His will for us-Jack Blake
Friday, June 14, 2024Good Morning,
We must know and believe the words of David in Psalm 48.14; This God is our God for ever and ever; He will be our God even unto death. And the wise man said in Proverbs 3.5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart; lean not on your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths, for His word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. Psalm 119.105. God has taught us and showed us what is good and all He requires of us is to do justly, to love mercy, and to humbly walk with Him. See Micah 6.8. Salvation belongs to our God; what a wonderful savior is He.
Father, we thank you for your beloved Son Jesus and for Your word on which we firmly stand. Help us Father to never forget that You are the rock we lean on and our fortress and for Your sake lead us and guide us through this pilgrim land to our heavenly home. AMEN
Praise God-Jack Blake
Thursday, June 13, 2024Good Morning,
Thinking and giving praise to my Lord this morning! I praise Him for His power, strength and endurance, His word that guides us in this life and for His salvation. What a comfort and joy too be a child of His; He is the fountain of life, His words are the words of life. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and there is no other way to the Father except through Him. HOW CAN ANY ONE REFUSE THIS ONE WHO LOVES US SO? How can those of us who have tasted of His goodness leave His side and go back to the destructive ways of this world. Oh, how sweet to trust in Jesus just to take Him at His word.
Father, thank you for your loving Son, Jesus the Christ, who lived a life of sorrow and grief and was despised and rejected and finally crucified on that old rugged cross for our sins so we could have a more abundant life. Thank You for Your word and help us each day to recognize who You are and find the joy in following the pattern which was left for us in Your word. AMEN.
