Thought For The Day

  Noah was not to set his eyes on all the misery and destruction that was going on.  Yes, we can learn from Noah. There was a reason he and his family were not to see the misery taken place.  So why do we fill our minds with all the destruction taken place in our world? Psalm 101:3-4 I will behave wisely in a perfect way. Oh when will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. I will set nothing wicked before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me; I will not know wickedness. Why does seeing the wicked things cause us to fall away? Because we have now filled our mind with the lies and deceptions in the world.  We are to renew our mind, not pollute it!! When we feed on the worlds news, more than feeding on God's word, we will not hear the Spirit of God direct us to the good things in our new born again life. Matthew 24:11-14 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will ...

So many things are beyond our comprehension. Yet by faith we continue to walk with God and have faith in His word. Hebrews 11:6  But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. There are things going on that cause us to use our faith in trusting Jesus, no matter what things seem to be. (deceptions) Every trial we have is temporary. God has gone before us. Our natural mind can become confused if we don't know God's word. But our spiritual mind is never confused. Walking in the spirit takes faith and trust. Hanging onto God's grace. The Son will shine again. Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which easily ensnares us, and let us run the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured...

As we look at all the things being fulfilled about the end times, we can see that we are very close to the coming of the Lord. Psalms 91:3-8 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence.  He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night. Nor of the arrow that flies by day.  Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness. Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look and see the reward of the wicked. (Rapture) We can see much fulfilled before the anti-Christ  is revealed.  He has been here a long time, but like with Judas who betrayed Jesus, he will be revealed at the right time, but wasn't revealed as such just yet. We know that through the centuries that there ha...

 It will take faith and patience to see some of the promises being fulfilled.  Some come sooner as we grow and learn God's will. 2Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. Beloved, God's perfect will is in His word. Just remember its not your will, but Gods. I have learned some of this through the years, past experience is a great teacher. Our being impatient only prolongs the process. I have claimed promises of God for 30 years, and I have learned in His time we will receive those promises. I not only received the promise, but, great blessings followed. Hebrews 10:36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God , you may receive the promise. So be patient and don't complain or murmur. Remember Israel in the desert 40 years? Just learn to be patient and thankful. While you wait as your faith is being tested. 2Peter 1:1-4 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of...

  God is making all things new, for the New Year. When we say we want to do differently, we are saying, we will handle our own life. Ephesians 4:20-24 But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus;  that you put off concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. We need to ask God for extra strength for things we have not let go of yet from last year. New Year, new strength, new growth. If you will allow the Holy Spirit to direct your life, you will see things you never dreamed of. Isaiah 55:89 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways" says the Lord.  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are my ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. Resolutions are not repen...

  Everyday of our Christian life is all about Jesus.  He came suffered and died for all of us. He took our sins and gave us new life. The worlds Christmas is different than the saved believers Christmas. Our Christmas is all about our Lord and Savior coming in the flesh, to live among us. He experienced every temptation that we are tempted with. Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have  high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. We have a selfish nature, but, Jesus was not selfish.  He gave so much of Himself,  to those who had a need, or were hurting and needing redemptive love. Sinners! As a lamb born for sacrifice, like all other lambs. Lambs are gentle and meek.  They don't have fangs or claws. They can't run or fight.  Its innocence is so sweet and precious.  It was taken into a home and cared for and loved before its sacrifice. (Exodus 12:3-7) Read it. Beloved, Jesus is the Lamb of...
