At the Door

Good morning. Just a portion from James this morning. We hope it encourages you. 

James 5:7-9 (AMP) 7 So wait patiently, brothers and sisters, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits [expectantly] for the precious harvest from the land, being patient about it, until it receives the early and late rains. 
8 You too, be patient; strengthen your hearts [keep them energized and firmly committed to God], because the coming of the Lord is near. 
9 Do not complain against one another, believers, so that you will not be judged [for it]. Look! The Judge is standing right at the door. source

First

The first day of December in the year of our LORD 2020. 

2020
Does it seem as unreal to you as it does to me? I remember the approach of 2000. We thought the world was coming to an end as we knew it. It didn’t. I am grateful.

2020 has been more challenging than the clock ticking from 1999 to 2000. It is not an understatement to say 2020 gave us a worldwide event.
Perhaps arguably the first time in history the whole world was affected simultaneously by the same event.
I say arguably because I can think of one other event, I was not there at the time, but I’ve read about it, the Fall of man in the Garden of Eden. That one event made ALL mankind hell-deserving sinners.
And I dare say if not for that Fall, all the evil of 2020 would not be.
But back to First.

As I set to prepare this post for the first day of December, I found a Scripture verse for us to contemplate. 

John 20:19  (AMP) 19 So when it was evening on that same day, the first day of the week, though the disciples were [meeting] behind barred doors for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them, and said, “Peace to you.” source

As we set upon this FIRST day of December, the last month of 2020, would we not hear these words of our Savior? 

“Peace to you”

HE spoke these words to His disciples hiding out behind barred doors because they were afraid for their lives.
YESHUA came to them.
Barred doors did not impede HIM.
Is there anything that can impede HIM from speaking PEACE to you?

Day 30 of The Giving of Thanks

Well, this is the last post of The Giving of Thanks — not that we won’t be giving thanks.

Rainy Days. 
As I type this for posting, it’s a rainy Sunday. I often like rainy days. Especially cool rainy days. They are lovely for snuggling inside with warm, soft, and cuddly blankets, good books, good movies, yummy food, and faithful love.
As we move into December, let us continue to give thanks and let us prepare to celebrate the MOST FAITHFUL LOVE ever born – JESUS the CHRIST. 

Isaiah 9:6 (NKJV) 6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  source
