daily prayer

        Great morning! How are we faithing? I have found if I put my trust in people, I'll get let down. If people put their trust in me, I'll let them down. That is not a boo hoo statement but one that speaks of the failings and faults of mankind. As much as we and others try to do the right thing, some how, some where, some time, our actions will be incorrect. Why is this?  Mankind is fallen and without Jesus and the acceptance of his sacrifice we will die in that sin. It really tugs hard at my soul that anyone could be lost and have to pay in hell for something that has already been paid for by Jesus but if those folks disregard or blow off the Messiah, it's their choice. A just God gives us the choice of being his or not and honors that choice. Heck man, if Adam and Eve walked and talked with God in the cool of the evening and still sinned, we ain't got a chance of not sinning. Living in a state of "my good will outweigh my bad" is a futile attempt at justification. If those people who walked and talked to God couldn't do it, we sure cant. But the up side is now we have an intercessor to God and that is messiah Jesus.

John 14:1-7

Let not your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. "In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. "And you know the way where I am going." Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?" Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me. "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him."
NAS

Hebrews 4:14-16
Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace to help in time of need.
NAS

John 3:17-18
"For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him. "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
NAS

Heavenly Father,
   Thank you for your love for us that you did what was necessary for us to be with you forever. We ask you open the eyes of the lost and draw them to you. We ask for strength of spirit, courage of flesh and purity of mind so we can present your son to a lost and dying world. Lord we lift those mentioned and those unmentioned. Reveal yourself in their healing. Let them know you care and love them. We stand on the rock of your Word throughout our days, in Jesus name, amen
