Thought For The Day

  With the New year coming in a few days, there will be new people coming into our life. Those that God has sent. If we have grown in the Lord, we will begin to see things differently than last year. It is as though a veil has been lifted so as to see things the way God sees them. ( That is called Wisdom) James 1:5-7 If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.  Let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like the wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.  For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord. Beloved, there will be new trials of our faith. Do we keep our focus on Jesus and all that he has said in His word?  Or do we turn to the world system for our answers? 1John 2:15 Do not love the world of the things in the world, If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  For all that is in the world, the lust of the f...

2 Corinthians 9:15 Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! We already have the perfect gift. JESUS. People are shopping to find that perfect gift for family or friends, that gift will wear out and become obsolete   later on. Whereas, God has given to us the greatest gift of all, for eternity. JESUS HIS SON! We have His love and His guidance when we received His gift of life. Our gift from God has His unconditional love connected to it, never forget God loves you!  We receive His peace that passes all understanding. Philippians 4:7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Our hearts need to be guarded daily, as there are things in this world that disturb our hearts, if we let it. We have the comfort of the Holy Spirit in our fellowship with Him. He's our teacher, best friend. We know the will of God, because it is in the Word of God. We have great wisdom of God. What a needed gift. Colossians 1:9-10 For...

Luke 2:8-20 On the night that Jesus was born in a stable in Bethlehem.  Shepherds looking after their sheep, and suddenly they saw an angel from God in the sky. The angel brought the good news of Jesus birth. Luke 2:8-11 Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over the flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. "For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior who is Christ the Lord. And because of the star in the sky, Kings from the East, were drawn by the direction of the star. It was much time after the birth of Jesus. Awaiting the celebration of Emmanuel, kings from the east are coming to worship   Him. Matthew 2:1 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king,...

It is not the same meaning that the world uses, when they hope and say they hope for this or that to happen.  There is doubt and fear connected to their thinking. Biblical Hope is a gift to us from our Lord. Jesus is our hope. Faith, hope and love are gifts from God to His children. Romans 15:13 Now may the God of HOPE fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in HOPE by the power of the Holy Spirit.  In playing around with the word HOPE, I came up with the thing that says it all. Heaven Offers Promised Emmanuel. Jesus is our hope. When we think of Hope , we should think of Jesus. Romans 5:1-5 Therefore having been justified by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in HOPE of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance, and perseverance, character; and character, HOPE. Now hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the H...
