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.

This "Christ"mas...

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,  Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." Luke 2:8-14 (NKJ) As "Christ"mas approaches it usually finds me refreshing my knowledge and understanding of what I believe that it is that we as "Christ"ians should be celebrating in our observation of the event of Christ's birth. I do this in ...

If I Worry At All...

For the last year I've been engaged in a writing project that requires me to answer a series of questions posed over the fifty two weeks of the year. My answer to the last question that I chose to answer is one that I decided to share because it's always on my heart and mind... What do you worry about? I know that worrying itself changes nothing but there are some things that cause me deep worry. And of those particular things, there are none that I have the power to change on my own, but they are instead those that I have to appeal to Christ’s mercy to intercede. I have deep worry for the souls of all of my loved ones because I know that despite all that we might find concern for in our passing through of this world, there’s only one account that will, for all time, require an answer from all of us. That response, having already been made while we journeyed here, will leave us without further opportunity to answer. Our choice, made in this current life, will leave us either pr...

Caution And Reverence In These Passing Days

"But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed. By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber."         2 Peter 2:1-3 (NKJV) It's an inescapable fact that we were created by the same God that created the heavens and the earth and everything in them. Mankind may say or declare, even forcefully, anything contrary against it, but mankind's warbling has no effect on the truth of what God's said and it'll be proved out when He avenges against their wickedness in defense of His own name. There are those among the secular scholars and Darwinists- the "intellectuals",  that dispu...
