2021, Hebrews, Isaiah

Satisfaction

2 Comments

Hebrews 12:2 King James Version

For the joy that was set before Him — 
Do you see it? 
It was foretold in Isaiah and confirmed again and again; like here in Hebrews. 

That joy, that satisfaction was procuring our salvation.

Outcasts

I read a portion of Luke 19 this morning; the place that says Yeshua entered Jericho and was passing through and I had some weird thoughts even for me. 

I wondered if JESUS thought of Rahab, his great, great, great – ever how many greats it was Grandmother.
You know the story, right?
The spies came to check out the city prior to the marching around it and the ram horn blowing that GOD used to bring down the walls of that very strong city.
Do you also remember that Rahab and her family were spared because she had helped the spies? 
Would you like to read the account? Check out Joshua Chapters 2 and 6.

So I wondered if JESUS thought of her and the account of the walls of Jericho falling as He was entering the City. 

Strange. 
Or is it?

Rahab the Harlot as she is often called, converted.
She believed the WORD she heard about GOD and it was counted to her as Righteousness. 
And centuries later Yeshua went to Jericho and another Outcast believed. Luke 19:1-10

I also read an article entitled

Rahab – The Harlot in the Genealogy of Christ

if you are interested.

And there you have it – a bit of my wonderings as I was reading Scripture this morning.
Do you wonder things as you read Scripture? 

I hope you do. I hope as you read your Bible its pages open and you see and experience the people and the accounts provided for us so we may truly BELIEVE and no longer be Outcasts.

This Month of December

Leave a comment

As I open this page I think I have not much to say on this first day of the last month of 2021.

December is a good month to reflect, asking ourselves – are there some things I need to finally settle so, at the close of this month, I can start fresh in 2022?

I can readily confess moving through this month and entering the 22nd year of this century 2000 does not have the anticipated bright horizons of just a couple of years ago. 

From a natural worldview, the goodnesses of freedom are . . . well, they are  – just not. 
The freedoms and abundance we squandered are disappearing quickly and in all honesty with you, I don’t see them coming back.  Nor do I see what is taking its place as anything desirable. I just don’t, Folks. 

BUT GOD. 

I’m not expecting miracles from on High to turn back and revive the Republic we once very loosely held. I’m just not. What I do expect is many miracles for GOD’s beloved, obedient children.  I expect in times to come, however weeks, months, or years, it may be that Father GOD will be supplying manna from heaven to feed His own if that be necessary. I expect some folks in sincerity and truth to quietly seek out members of the Remnant to help them connect with GOD. I don’t expect a great worldwide revival but I do expect some Folks to get serious with GOD as we see our cushy, material world crash down around us. 

I don’t write these things to sadden you. I write them to warn you. I write them to tell you EXCITING times are coming for the Obedient People of GOD.  If you are HIS, you have NOTHING to fear. You have a Perfect Father who loves you perfectly who will never forsake you. Do I expect persecution for the Remnant? Yes, like we Western Christians have not experienced heretofore. BUT GOD will be faithful to His own.
