Good morning! How are we faithing? Brrrrr! Gee whiz it's cold out! Oh well, summer's over.
Lots of things on my mind lately and I am sorting and sifting them all. I try to make sense of the unsensable all the while focusing on God and the scriptures. Sometimes I find myself with revelation and sometimes I just don't know. I have discovered that it is ok to say I don't know because the Word reveals things by the Holy Ghost's promptings when I need them. I have seen it over and over when I can't seem to persevere, Jesus through me does. It's then that I realize what a wretch I am and that without Jesus, I would be just a derelict sitting where I washed ashore. You've seen those old boats just rotting away on shore . Out of the water, no direction, idle waiting to completely die and disappear. I don't want to do that. I don't want to go through the motions for 80-90 years just to wind up another bag of bones in the graveyard. I want to leave a legacy of Godly principles that my children and grandchildren can lean on. I want the people I meet to see Jesus in me and not an egotistical self absorbed cretin like so many we see in the news as of late. I want there to be no doubt that I walked as a man of God who strived to be Christlike no matter what came my way. How about you? Where are your loyalties? Are you consumed with pleasing men or God? Do you know the savior Jesus? That my friends is the first crucial step for without Jesus, you will succumb to the waves.
read James 1....
Heavenly Father,
Grant us wisdom and peace so we can look people in the eye and speak what they need to hear. Let us be shining lights of you. Help us show the same grace you show us. Help us really see the heart so we can be your hands and legs and lips to edify only you. We ask for blessings on our work today. In Jesus name we pray
