ONE MESSAGE. ONE FAITH.

Matthew 23-25 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. What an admonition and reminder, to the church, the called out ones. In this same passage Jesus makes it clear, that in the time before this age comes to an end, that it will be difficult for even the solid believers. For their sake the days will be shortened, so they can make it from day to day. If the very elect, those on solid foundation and rooted in the word, producing fruit fit for the kingdom; if for them they will scarcely make it in, it causes us all to make sure where we stand. There is no room for "mights" and "maybes". The bible cautions believers and non believers alike to save ourselves from this gen...

Isaiah 40-44 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. 11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. 12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God. 13 Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it? 14 Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; 25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. 44:2 Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee... 3For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring: The scriptures make it clear. No...

We may have all been there. We get involved in a situation that causes some emotional pain and confusion. I have thought to myself, where an I wrong in this situation? Ready to humbly take the blame if necessary. Ready to take all fault. Then, in the need for clarity, and moral support, I go to someone who I think will understand, but, it backfires! They look at you questionably, point the finger at you, and denounce you for trying to seemingly "weasel" your way out of something they assume you really did do. They don't see your point of view. You leave even more emotionally torn and confused than when you came. You sought comfort and clarity, and left questioning yourself on you own innocence. Maybe I am to blame?

I am inspired by the boldness and confidence in many of the verses of this day's passage. In the 16th chapter of Psalms, David is confident in Jehovah, and knows that he will be ultimately delivered from the hands of his enemies simply based on the experiences from the past- testimony. Psalms 16:8 I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. 9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, 10 because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay. 11 You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. There are times when we face the valley- between- mountains ,but we have to bring the "mountain experience" back to remembrance. We must recall that " he will " and " he is ".

Isaiah 12-17 God has not forgotten. God is just. God is love. God is merciful. These are the things that come to mind as I read the passage for the day. Many times there is no need for a deep revelation. God sends us his word to remind us of his character. We may never meet or know of an Assyrian, or Persian. The use of Babylon may be literal or metaphorical. What is certain and real, and unchanging is God's sovereignty and his character. God has not forgotten. The heaven is the Lord's throne and the earth is his footstool. He sits high and looks low and is cogniscent of everything that has and ever will happen. This includes our lives. God says vengeance is His, and if God be for us who can be against us. Just as God may use the enemy, as he did for Israel, to get your attention, the enemy still has to face their end. God is just. He is a righteous judge and makes the right decision every time because he knows all things. Some results may not make sense to us, but our knowledg...

Ms. Grace: Finally,  I am so glad you answered my call. Been calling for a while now with no answer. But hey meet me at the cross road between broadway and straight street. There is some info that someone is out to kill you, and I have to get you to a safe house. An Hour later  Ms.Grace: Glad you had time to meet me. ( urgently )  I have this key your father gave me for you to claim the house he bought you. It's loaded with an internal security feature that is on night and day. Once he transfers his name to the deed, anything you need just give him a call. He'll take care of everything. You'll recognize the house by the red door marked with your Father's name. Now when you go through,you'll be covered with a red solvent. Don't be alarmed. It's a cleansing agent for dirt removal, sanitizing, and disinfecting of anyone who goes through the door.  As an added bonus it imprints a cellular signature beneath your skin so he can track you and you tw...

Day 9: Genesis 4-7 I never realized before this week that Noah and his family sat in the ark for a full week, seven days, before the rain even started. A full 7 days! Oh my, I get restless after an hour. I can only imagine what was going through Noah's mind. Seven days, looking at the same walls, in the confined quarters of a boat, after being out in the great outdoors since birth. Seven days , with not just his wife, but the wives of his 3 sons. Me? I would have looked around and thought, "uh, so...when was this this scheduled to happen?" Talk about faith in God's word. There is only record of God speaking ONE TIME to Noah about the ark and the rain. ONCE. For the next 120 years Noah works to build this huge ark to God's specifications, and waits. 120 years and no record of God giving a reminder call. He trusted in what God said. Some of us, like now, read the bible, God's written word to us, EVERY DAY, and still find ourselves questioning God...
