Silly Me!

I expected my relief to last longer than 30 minutes! But here I am, cautious and concerned and warned: don’t celebrate too long, don’t celebrate with arrogance. Be kind. Be generous. And get to work LIVING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST.

Proverbs 14:34 King James Version  34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

We have a reprieve. Reprieves are for advancing, not retreating, and not squandering. What do we have a reprieve from?  That’s a good question. How do you see it? HOW DOES GOD SEE IT? ASK HIM AND RESPOND ACCORDINGLY. 

Are you wondering how to ask?

My suggestion is to start with your Bible.  Read it. Read it like it is the BEST book you have ever picked up.  Because it is! Read until it becomes alive to you, then do what it says, praying every page of the way. 

I trust that we have a reprieve from the advancement of certain evils. But there are plenty of demons to fight  – armor up! Ephesians 6:11-24 Don’t spend this reprieve playing!  That’s the message. Perhaps we can hear The LORD saying to us: he who has an ear, let him hear. (That he is he or she, you understand.)

Genesis (KJV) 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Mark 12: 30 and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”  Link

This is how we use this reprieve. Study JESUS. The JESUS revealed in Scripture. Read Him. Watch Him. Follow Him. Know Him and be known by Him. (Matthew 7:21-23) In this way, we will not waste this reprieve. Biblically obedient brothers and sisters, I need your prayers! By no stretch of the imagination have I arrived at full obedience but by His Grace, I am moving forward!

2024, A Quick Hello, Exodus, Genesis

Potatoes

Quickly today,  because I have potatoes to scrub for baking.

Exodus 31: 12 and 13
12 And the LORD said to Moses, 13“Tell the Israelites, ‘Surely you must keep My Sabbaths, for this will be a sign between Me and you for the generations to come, so that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.    source

As I read, I said, You are really serious about us knowing You.

And He is serious about it. GOD wants us to know Him.
He is not hiding from us.
He is HERE in plain sight, we only need to look.
The hiding is done by mankind. It’s been going on since the Garden.
You can read about it in Genesis. I urge you to do that.

That’s it for today . . . I think.

Shines Significant

Genesis 49:2 Come together and listen, O sons of Jacob; listen to your father Israel.  source 

He called the sons of his flesh to hear the voice, the words of the man GOD named him. That shines significant to me this morning.

Do my children hear the voice, the words of the woman whom GOD has named?

Would you ponder that today too?

Holy hugs with Prayers,

2024, Genesis

Always, Forever, and Amen

Genesis 46.
Are you interested?
Perhaps you have read it many times.
Even so, perhaps it will be pleasant to hear from it again.

2 In a vision at night God called to Isra’el, “Ya‘akov! Ya‘akov!” He answered, “Here I am.”

So personal. GOD called him by name, his given name! Think about that. GOD called him by name, his first name, the name his momma and daddy named him. So personal.  I have a strong appreciation for this. You, too?

3 He said, “I am God, the God of your father. Don’t be afraid to go down to Egypt. It is there that I will make you into a great nation.

I am GOD! Just like that, I am GOD and not just any god but the GOD of your father – no mistake Who is talking to him.
And the first thing He said: Don’t be afraid. But not just any afraid, the specific afraid that Jacob was laboring under. Why do I think he was laboring under it? Because GOD addressed it. What was Jacob afraid of? Going to Egypt! Leaving his home. Going to a strange place with strange people and strange customs. And what else he didn’t even know that was strange there.

But GOD. But GOD made him a promise – I will make you into a great nation. What a promise!  This promise means you will grow in this strange land you are going. You will be fruitful, you will multiply.

I see that as meaning you will have food, shelter, protection – your needs will be met. You will prosper in that strange land. Wow!

4 Not only will I go down with you to Egypt; but I will also bring you back here again, after Yosef has closed your eyes.”

And then He tells him you will die in that strange land – you will live the rest of your earthly days there but do not worry — I will bring you out even after you are dead.

You see, GOD TELLS THE TRUTH.  We can always, forever and amen depend on GOD to tell us the TRUTH.

That is immeasurably comforting to me.
There is so much more here but that is all I have time to share this morning.

Well, one more thing: please note GOD told Jacob that HE would go WITH him to Egypt (and He would not leave him).

AWESOME GOD!
What else can we say but AWESOME GOD!

It’s Tuesday. Make the most of it in JESUS’ Name.
