Therefore My people shall know My name...
Isaiah 52:6a To know the Creator is a wonderful privilege. He is the Lord, and the One who has made the heavens and the earth... Create in me a clean heart, O God;
and renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10 The Lord is very patient with me. The Holy Spirit has been showing me the areas of my life in which I am falling short... Nancy Quinn should be living in a warm home with her husband and children. Instead, this 39-year old mother of three has opted to live by herself under a small bridge in the Bronx...
For He (the Lord) has said, I will
never leave thee or forsake thee. Hebrews 13:5 Earlier today I wrote a letter to a friend who attends a small church in a quiet Ohio town. He has a wife and five children to support... This morning's worship service went well. My chaplain had the day off to be with his family. So I covered for him overseeing the gathering in his absence. All the men were on their best behavior, as usual...
This Sunday my chaplain won't be here. So I'll be taking his place to conduct the worship service...
And forgive us our debts, as we
forgive our debtors. Matthew 6:12 The longer I remain on this Christian journey the more I see the need to extend the blessing of simple forgiveness to others. The world is very corrupt. But sometimes even professing Christians may have their own selfish agendas, motives and desires... Fearfulness and trembling are come upon
me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. Psalm 55:5 Yesterday I wrote about the "time of sorrows" which the Lord Jesus foretold. I've been thinking more about it. And, yes, it may indeed take a series of terrifying events to awaken humanity to the reality that the things of this world are only temporary and meaningless when compared with eternity... For nation shall rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. Mark 13:8 God has clothed me with the garment of salvation. He has spread His banner of love over me, and has allowed me to possess His peace. Nevertheless, I know from the Scriptures that the world is becoming very wicked. A "time of sorrows," as Jesus called it, is awaiting humankind... The thief commeth not but to steal, and to kill,
and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10 The Devil is a tireless predator. He tries hard to pluck lives from this world before they have the chance to make their peace with God through faith in Jesus Christ... |
