New Year’s Eve

1 Comment

A favored day leading us to a favored day – New Year’s Day. 

A brand new canvas! 
Clean and clear. Not a mark on it! 
Until the day dawns and then we start splattering it with thoughts, words, and deeds!

1 Thessalonians, 2021, Nehemiah, The Pen

time is a Wasting

I am not a prophet. 
Anything I understand about the future comes from The Word of GOD.  And in that understanding I know Eternity is GRAND for the saved but the time between here and then includes suffering. 

With my wee bit of discernment, I am reading the signs. 
And with that, I grieve. I have family. People I love so much.  Dear ones who are not prepared for what is to come, near or far. Unprepared and, seemingly, unconcerned.

The verse I am about to give you is an APPLICATION. I am offering it as an illustration, please don’t misunderstand me here. An illustration NOT an interpretation. 
Much is happening in this month of January, yet millions are oblivious.  They are like this:

1 Thessalonians 5:3  (NLT) 3 When people are saying, “Everything is peaceful and secure,” then disaster will fall on them as suddenly as a pregnant woman’s labor pains begin. And there will be no escape. source

They have congratulated themselves with the pen and his entourage; thinking they are safe and protected. They are mistaken. The rank and file know not what they have done.
Persecution is coming: the first to be targeted is Christians (we have seen skirmishes already), but in time, others will also know the bitter sting of betrayal. 

Just to be clear allow me to define the Christian whereof I speak. 
I mean the man, woman, boy, or girl whose standards are found in Scripture. I mean people who have more than a form of godliness. I mean people who seek GOD for answers and for their thoughts and their actions. People who seek The LORD for how HE wants them to invest money, resources, and time. People who occupy themselves with Righteous living. People who will not be found ogling the ways of celebrities and the elites with adoration. 

I write this to urge you to seek The LORD.
Ask HIM what HE wants YOU to do.
Let HIM prepare you to overcome. 
Seek HIM now while you have time. 
Time is a Wasting. 

Nehemiah 8:10 (NKJV) 10 .  .  .   for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” source

2020, Nehemiah, Prayers for We the People, Questions

What Do You Think?

Nehemiah 9
2 Those of Israelite descent separated themselves from all foreigners as they confessed their own sins and the sins of their ancestors. 3 They remained standing in place for three hours while the Book of the Law of the Lord their God was read aloud to them. Then for three more hours they confessed their sins and worshiped the Lord their God.   source

What if in this coronavirus crisis we did this? We are social distancing already. What if we allowed ourselves to be drawn to GOD while we are separated from one another? What if we asked The Holy Spirit to show us our sins and when He does, confess them and turn away from them? What if we prayed for We the People to confess and repent?
Verse. 3. Look what else they did. They read The Bible! Well, actually they read The Sacred Scrolls. We have The Holy Bible.
And they worshipped!

What if we did this? What do you think would happen?
And one more question. Why would you not; why would you not invest this time this way?
