Choose

I borrowed this from a Friend’s Facebook page. It’s TRUTH. And we have the opportunity to live it today and perhaps tomorrow. (See James 3:14)

Truth!

Joshua 24:14-16 Amplified Bible (AMP)

14 Now therefore, [reverently] fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and in truth; put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the [Euphrates] River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.

15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

16 The people answered, Far be it from us to forsake the Lord to serve other gods;

And the GOD we CHOOSE today will govern every other choice we make today. Let us choose wisely!

Life Is Fragile

Today my beloved and I are painfully aware again that life is fragile.  In a moment life is swallowed up and there’s an empty space. This time it’s in the backyard.

Susie.

We miss her. The backyard is bare without her. She was an exceptionally good companion.  Playful. Excitable. Obedient most of the time. Non-malicious all the time.  Unconditional love. That’s what she gave us. A yellow lab named Susie, her little heart so big with love went quiet today and our hearts are more than sad. As we gave her a resting place of honor in the side yard we thanked her and her Creator for the memories.

9 The Lord is good to all; He has compassion on all He has made.

We miss you, Susie.

Thank You, Father, for creating companions that teach us about You.

Joy to you,

Permission To Speak

Permission to Speak Freely. I understand it is a military term spoken to a Superior Officer for leave to be candid with said Officer.  (Please correct me if I am wrong.)

I believe there is a Sect of People with such an attitude (a belief system) toward Christians, and I might add, only Christians. To all others such demand is not applied.

I have some good news! We have Permission to Speak Freely from the HIGHEST AUTHORITY in the Universe. Actually more than Permission; rather a privilege and a command.

8 Oh give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples.
9 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; speak of all His wonders.
10 Glory in His holy name; let the heart of those who seek the Lord be glad.

4 And in that day you will say, “Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name. Make known His deeds among the peoples; Make them remember that His name is exalted.”
5 Praise the Lord in song, for He has done excellent things; Let this be known throughout the earth.

via Is 12 NASB – Thanksgiving Expressed – Then you will – Bible Gateway.

1 Oh give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples.
2 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonders.
3 Glory in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be glad.

via Ps 105 NASB – The LORD’S Wonderful Works in Behalf – Bible Gateway.

Allow me to call your attention to

MAKE KNOWN HIS DEED AMONG THE PEOPLES.
SPEAK OF ALL HIS WONDERS

Make known His deeds among the peoples;
Make them remember that His name is exalted.”

Let this be known throughout the earth.

We have permission to speak without apology and without PERMISSION from ‘Man’.  Our Father has NOT called us to arrogance. He has NOT called us to obnoxious-ness. He has NOT called us to offensiveness. Albeit to the unrepentant and unbelieving our message and our commission may be offensive; even as was our Savior, JESUS THE CHRIST, perceived offensive by the ‘religious’. That has not changed. Even so we have Permission to Speak Freely.  Moreover we have the privilege and command to do so.   Now is the time.  Would you agree?

One more caution.
One more admonishment to myself and to you.
WAIT before and upon THE LORD for HIM to empower you so you can speak this message with and IN HIS LOVE, knowing you may be perceived as offensive, until the soul who hears chooses to repent and then it shall be the BEST NEWS  s/he has or ever shall hear!

18 When I say to the wicked, ‘You will surely die,’ and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his wicked way that he may live, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand.
19 Yet if you have warned the wicked and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered yourself.

via Ez 3 NASB – Ezekiel’s Commission – Then He said – Bible Gateway.

ABBA, seal this in my heart least I forget and at the appointment time come to You with blood on my hands. Let that not be, ABBA. Let it not be. In JESUS name let that not be.
