Ignorance

I am confessing my ignorance.

This morning I am finishing prep for tonight’s Bible Class at the Adult Continuing Education Series (ACES) being held at First Baptist Church Satsuma. And I have come across a word that truly I have no recollection of previously reading.

Comeuppance

And it means an outcome (good or bad) that is well deserved.

Good or bad.

Well deserved.

I am so glad I am not getting my comeuppance of hell and I have received JESUS comeuppance of HEAVEN.

Aren’t you?

Look for an opportunity today to tell someone about your comeuppance.

10 For since our friendship with God was restored by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son. 11 So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God.

via Romans 5 NLT – Faith Brings Joy – Therefore, since we – Bible Gateway.

I encourage you to read the whole chapter from which these verses came.

Comeuppance.

A good word.

ABBA, thank You for the glorious pleasure of learning. Keep me learning, I pray. Thank You for good outcomes. And thank You that for Your People You turn bad outcomes to good ones. Thank You for the happy, happy things I see You doing and thank You for those good and blessed things You are doing that I do not yet see. Thank You. The Baby. Praying for him to breathe strong and healthily. Praying for his ‘mothers’ to love You with their whole hearts and rely upon You for everything. Israel. Always my prayer, ABBA, for their peace and the subduing of their enemies – Your enemies. The election – You know my heart cry there. The humbling of Your People. Yes, LORD, help us humble ourselves and repent. The restoration of America. Yes, ABBA, do not remove our lampstand. Help us humble ourselves and allow You to raise us up to reflect Your glory again. Many folks. Kerri. Dori. Pam. Allie. Dawn. And families grieving. And hard-headed people we love. And sad and lonely people. Lost and wondering what to do people. We all know people as these, ABBA, and we pray for them; just asking for Your help to heal them, comfort, encourage them and show them You have a far, far, far better way for them than the path they are taking. Yes, ABBA, her too. Thank You. You are so good to me. I love You, ABBA, in JESUS Mighty and Holy name.  And, one more thought. Continued strength and blessings for Your many faithful servants. Those just quietly and some not so quietly :) doing the thing of loving You and people. I pray for their strength to be meet for this day.

Blessings to you Dear Friends    +++

I was just discussing a matter with ABBA that I have brought to Him many times and I said, “Why do I keep doing this to myself? I know better. ” His reply was immediate.

James 4:17 New King James Version (NKJV)

17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

via James 4:17 NKJV – Therefore, to him who knows to do good – Bible Gateway.

So what was the subject for discussion? Does it matter? And if I don’t say you can plug-in your own. Right?

Thank You, ABBA. I am without excuse but not without Your love, mercy, grace, forgiveness and strength. Neither are they. Thank You, ABBA, in JESUS name.

Good Monday morning Friends

Praying for souls to see their need to repent and start learning from JESUS how to live.

Matthew 11:28-30 New King James Version (NKJV)

28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

via Matthew 11:28-30 NKJV – Come to Me, all you who labor and are – Bible Gateway.

ABBA, You know my thoughts this morning; You know all our thoughts. You know our disappointments, our frustrations, stresses, needs, wants and lacks. Our fears for those we love who seem so oblivious to the lives they live. Forgive them, ABBA, and snatch them from the pit I pray. I pray we will come and learn from You JESUS. Learn how You lived in peace and joy and doing good in this hostile world. How You absolutely enjoyed living the GOD-MAN life that You lived for us; even knowing You were called the Man of Sorrows, You had peace, even joy in doing ABBA’s will so we could be free. That’s too big for me to comprehend, LORD, but I accept it. To be like You, JESUS. I am so mindful this morning of the great need that is for us. To be like You. To look at life the way You do. To analyze happenings with You. To take seriously this learning from You and learning to be like You. You know the faces before me this morning, please rescue them from themselves I pray. ABBA, we are all needy people, if only all of us could admit our neediness and learn from You. But, ABBA, I will not be discouraged. You are sovereign. You are GOD of all and Your Arm is not shortened that You cannot save. So I come myself and with all my needy ones and I present us for Your healing rescue in JESUS name.  And I’m not forgetting Israel. America. The election. The Humbling of Your People. Sick ones. Grieving ones. I am trusting You with it all, ABBA, and I am grateful for what You are doing in and for each one.

Blessings to you Dear Friends    +++
