Moment By Moment, Choose Well ...


There's no lack of abundant reasoning, no shortage of cause to find fear in the days that envelop us one at a time presently. There's an ever present cloud of concern, a dense fog of uncertainty that's waiting to enshroud anyone willing to just breathe it in with an abundant fear. For those without hope danger lurks stealthily waiting for its next victim. But for those intent on willing submission, discipleship and obedience to our Father God, a sure and certain hope is unendingly abundant. As His children, we are not victims ...

In all that we may find to contend with in this life and all that may seek to come against us, our peace is found in the knowledge of our adoring true Father whose wisdom, power, mercy and grace to raise up His children is without limit and whose kingdom knows no outer boundary. As His children, our victory in this life is already sealed. So whatever may purport to challenge us here with an intent to conquer is truly only challenging the omnipotent God who holds us close to His bosom and carries us toward the far horizon of this life and into the dawn of the life that He intended from the beginning ...

 We are not without recourse in any event, affliction or catastrophe that we might encounter here. No matter what happens, we have the opportunity to have trusting faith to believe what our Father, our very Creator has shared with us and told us about Himself. We can believe in His perfect wisdom, His instruction, His omnipotence, the perfect goodness of His character and His good intention toward us ...

 We're not called to be suddenly, unerringly perfect in this life. That transformation is a journey that we take with Him in willing and earnest submission one day at a time. It's one that He performs in us according to His perfect wisdom and timing as we submit to His Fatherly guidance with sincere and honest hearts. But we are called to believe ...

 Belief in Him and all that He's said has been the key to unlocking the door to so many opportunities for Father God to work great things in the lives of the ancients that have gone before us. He's shared some of those things with us in the history of His word so that we would know and use them in our own lives. It's the key to opening the door to everything that He's promised and to far more than we ever imagined ...

 We can choose to use those things moment by moment - believing Him obediently and allowing Him to carry us through whatever we encounter just as He's promised and as patient, trusting and knowing victors in Christ ...

                                 ... or we can choose to be fearul victims of life.

We make that choice moment by moment. Choose well and find life far beyond what you imagined - but just as He intended it.

Where Truth Is Found...

"He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven; for everyone has need to be forgiven." - George Herbert, British Poet 1593 - 1633 The above is a true statement and one could give credit to George Herbert for his wisdom in that saying, but the truth and wisdom found in those words did not originate with him. They originated with The Author of truth and wisdom - The Judge of the universe... “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Matthew 6:14-15 (NKJ) ...Christ Jesus. With deception being a tool of the enemy   and being spread  widely with the help of mankind these days, it's a struggle for some to recognize what the truth really is. It's good for us who follow Christ to remember that whatever we might think or reason with ourselves to be true, our opinion c...

Fear not.

There's a lot going on in the world and a lot available to provoke fear for the future, but I have a question for anyone who might feel themselves tempted to fear - If you truly know God, does He ever change? “I am the LORD, and I do not change. That is why you descendants of Jacob are not already destroyed." Malachi 3:6 (NLT) We stand reinforced in our understanding and belief that He does not change, so... "The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me.  I will protect those who trust in my name.  When they call on me, I will answer;  I will be with them in trouble.  I will rescue and honor them.  I will reward them with a long life  and give them my salvation.” Psalm 91:14-16 (NLT) I know that I said that I had "a" question, but I actually have another - do you really, truly love Him? “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heave...

God Blesses Those...

"And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:... " Matthew 5:1&2 (NKJ) In the 5th chapter of the book of Matthew, we find Jesus teaching His disciples. What He taught them there is often referred to as the Sermon on the mount. And within that teaching are a number statements that are commonly referred to as The Beatitudes. I humbly suggest that whoever it was that coined that term might have been more accurate and to the point if they had called them  The " BE-  Attitudes" since Jesus was in fact telling His disciples both then and now, about the spirit of how to "be". “Blessed are the poor in spirit,  For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn,  For they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek,  For they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,  For they shall be filled. Blessed a...
