National Day of Prayer 2014

The theme for this year’s National Day of Prayer 2014 is 

Investing in Hope… Transforming our Nation Through Prayer!

Investing in hope.  That sounds like a great idea to me! Immediately this comes to mind: My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness. 

ABBA, we publicly acknowledge our hope is in CHRIST alone; in His finished work; only His righteousness and cleansing blood are sufficient to save we the people. Thank You  for birthing America. Please forgive us for corrupting it; forgive us for allowing a minority to close the mouths of the majority; and, ABBA, if we are still the majority, and even if we are not, I pray You will quicken us and save America. Thank You for hearing our prayers today and, HOLY SPIRIT, please inspire, call and empower every Christian in America to live holy and boldly and pray and pray until we the people are moved to repentance. I pray we will live 2 Chronicles 7:14; for if we do I know You will surely save this Land.

Good Friday 2014

Good Friday

1 John 4:9 Here is how God showed his love among us: God sent his only Son into the world, so that through him we might have life. 10 Here is what love is: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the *kapparah for our sins.
11 Beloved friends, if this is how God loved us, we likewise ought to love one another.

via 1 John 4:9-11 KJV;CJB – In this was manifested the love of God – Bible Gateway.

*kapparah – we might use words such as propitiation, substitute or atonement.
Yeshua (Jesus) our Atonement! 

Psalm 117:  Praise Adonai, all you nations! Worship him, all you peoples! 2 For his grace has overcome us, and Adonai’s truth continues forever. 
Halleluyah!

Short but Full

19 Pilate then took Yeshua and had him flogged. 2 The soldiers twisted thorn-branches into a crown and placed it on his head, put a purple robe on him, 3 and went up to him, saying over and over, “Hail, ‘king of the Jews’!” and hitting him in the face.
via John 19 KJV;CJB – Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and – Bible Gateway.

And what would have been your response and my response if this were the treatment we received?

That’s why we need a Savior!

May we choose A Gratitude Day!, my Friends, on this 16th day of 2014!!

Guidelines for the New Year

It has been a pleasant, soul-feeding day; not to mention the body feeding as well.  Oven fried pork chops, black-eyed peas, cabbage, turnip greens, cornbread and for some sweet tea; for yours truly unsweetened and I have actually grown to prefer it — most of the time.  And with a quick ‘have a little talk with JESUS’ prayer I resisted the urge for Dunkin Donuts this evening.

Speaking of ‘have a little talk with JESUS’ praying, I am determined to do more of that this year as evidenced by this evening – It works!

My Little Girl has a great guideline for the New Year. She posted it to Facebook; I’m borrowing it.

2014 is going to be a great year! Live a life of joy every day!! — feeling hopeful.

And she is smart enough to know that every day is not going to lend its self to happiness; but she is also wise enough to know we can CHOOSE to retain the JOY of the LORD.

John 15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

via John 15:11 KJV;CJB – These things have I spoken unto you, – Bible Gateway.

We have covenanted to remind one another.  :)

By the way, did you know the word JOY is referenced in KJV 187 times? Click HERE and take a look.

Some pots and pans are calling. Happy Day 2 of 2014!!
