Father, may Your divine goodness bless and keep me in Your loving care today. As I turn my eyes upon Jesus, may Your face shine upon me and be gracious to me. May Your love be uplifting and bring joy and happiness to our relationship as I try to faithfully serve You. May our fellowship be joyfully strengthened as I lean on You for guidance to help me through this day. In Jesus name AMEN.

Good Morning,  Have you noticed all the tearing down of old buildings and new construction to take its place? It reminds me of what happens when we are transformed out of the darkness of sin and into His marvelous light through faith, repentance and baptism. We take off (tear down) the sinful ways of the old man, and put on (build up) a new man, renewed in the knowledge according to the image of our creator. The old is completely destroyed freeing us from all our old ways of sin that had structured our lives. And a new man is erected with godly ways to structure our lives with love, mercy, kindness and forgiveness, praising and honoring God in all, we do, think and speak. Colossians 3.9,10.

Good Morning,  According to the scripture, to obey is better than sacrifice. 1 Samuel 15.22. To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. Proverbs 21.3. But, do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices, God is well pleased. Hebrews 13.16.

Good Morning,  Man needs to hear and listen carefully to to the word of God. Here is why. God’s word is God breathed; Inspired by God. Listen to some of the words spoken by the Master, He who rejects Me and does not receive My words has that which judges him…The word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. John 12.48. Better listen, better hear, better do, for according to His word, it is appointed for man once to die, but after that comes the judgement. Hebrews 9.27. Fo we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5.10. God will not force anyone to obey, but gives man the choice to obey His word, or reject it. He also gives warnings as to the consequences of the sons of disobedience. Our choice should be and must be salvation for the soul, as for me and my house we will serve the Lord. Choose Jesus, the way the truth and the life!

Good Morning,  This is the day which the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalms 118.24. How blest we are that the Lord has given us another day to live for Him. Let us use this day to be kind to one another, to encourage a weary soul, to be forgiving of those who have done us wrong. Being aware that the flesh is at war with the spirit, and the spirit with the flesh because they oppose one another, so we do not do the things we please, let us choose to do good and flee evil. Whatever we do in word or deed let us do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father. May the word of God dwell in us richly on this day which the Lord has given us.  Father, Help us to live today in a way that is pleasing to You; bringing praise, honor and glory to Your Holy name. Through Jesus we pray, AMEN.
