Joy of Christmas, Joy of the Lord

"As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy."  Luke 1:44.  This has always been one of my favorite verses in Luke chapter 1.  I believe that the baby in her womb truly leaped for joy when he heard the voice of Mary and that it was not just an ordinary kick from the child.  How could it have been just a normal kick, Elizabeth was already six months pregnant, she would have known a normal kick from a leap.  The joy of John the Baptist is what I believe should [...]

Faithful

2020-12-03T04:40:07+00:00

"For no word from God will ever fail." Luke 1:37.   I was going through part of the book of Luke where Christ's birth was announced, and this verse stuck out to me.  Jesus was described as the Word in John chapter 1.  Jesus came, and He had to fulfill certain prophecies, He did that.  He fulfilled many, many prophecies.  Jesus was meant to be a Savior, and He has not only provided salvation for the Jews, but to the Gentiles as well.  Jesus said that He would be with us, always.  God's Word is still with us, it has not been [...]

Praise in the storm

John was going about his day at work.  He had just restocked the shelves, double checked the inventory to make sure all was correct, and was getting ready to go on break.  Then the phone in the office rings, he hears, "call for John on line two" come over the intercom.  He goes to the office, picks up the phone.  The voice on the other end was his wife's, she was crying loudly, and when he got her calmed down enough to speak, she told him that their four month old son had just passed away.  They had been trying for [...]

"For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened." Matthew 7:8 NIV.  I want to give a praise report tonight.  In the past two days I've had some amazing things go on for me.  Yesterday, I got to shoot a bow for the first time in three months.  Granted, the bow was a light draw weight, but, it was still great to be able to shoot again for the first time in what felt like ages.  I am thankful for how far God has brought my healing thus far.  [...]

Temptations

2020-11-29T02:45:10+00:00

"No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind.  And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.  But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."  1 Corinthians 10:13.  To be tempted is not a sin, as Satan tempted Jesus, but to allow that temptation to linger and to fall into it is to sin.  Here Paul writes that God is faithful to us.  He will not leave us to our own devices and He will not allow temptation to be stronger [...]

Wait

2020-11-28T03:46:42+00:00

"Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD." Psalm 27:14.  Waiting on the Lord does not mean sitting idly by.  We are to still continue to do our jobs that God has given us.  What does it mean to wait on the Lord though?  Well, it means to be patient.  God's timing is not ours, and so we must be patient and not try to rush things.  It means we need to hope in the Lord, we wait on Him, we trust His guidance, not our own.  It means we stay calm and do not [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

2020-11-27T03:29:48+00:00

I hope each of you were able to enjoy Thanksgiving today.  I hope you were able to be with as much family as possible, I understand that was not the case this year for many people.  I hope that you were able to have fellowship and to sit back and reflect on what all God has blessed you with.  We all have reason to praise God, we all have reason to thank God.  Each day that He gives us breath, He has given us more than we deserve.  I am thankful for how this day went, I am thankful for what [...]

Zealous

2020-11-25T04:19:11+00:00

"It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always, not just when I am with you."  Galatians 4:18.  Paul said that it was fine, it was good to be zealous if the purpose was good.  There is not a better purpose than that of living for Christ.  For such a purpose we should be zealous, we should be passionate about it, and not just when others are looking. At some point, I would guess every Christian has done something, good or bad, because they knew someone was watching.  We need to choose to live [...]

As the deer pants

2020-11-22T02:06:23+00:00

"As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God." Psalm 42:1.   Do you desire God's Word as much as you do rest after a hard day?  God uses His Word to feed our souls, to give our souls comfort, to give us peace and correction when necessary.  God's Word is our compass, it is the light for our path.  We need to be in His Word every single day.  We should desire His Word more than anything else.  We should be in it as much as possible, the more we read it, the more [...]

After the Jewish people got to the promised land, God continued to provide them with judges, whom served as leaders.  After a while, the Jews began to ask God for a king, they no longer wanted judges, they wanted to be like everyone else.  So, a king was given to them. When Jesus stood before Pilate, Pilate asked the people of Israel if they wanted him to release Jesus unto them.  They cried for him to release Barabbas.  Barabbas was a murderer, and he was part of the rebellion against Rome.  In the same manner as they had done many years [...]
