COME AGAIN
The unsinkable Titanic, a British passenger liner, sank on its maiden voyage in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early morning hours of 15 April 1912, following a statement made by the captain that not even “God could sink her.” More than 1,500 died when the ship struck an iceberg thought to be too far south. The iceberg that took it down, if seen at all, was not seen in its entirety. As is normal, approximately two thirds floated concealed beneath the frigid surface of the North Atlantic.
Disasters and diseases appear and surprise us because the greater part is working beneath our ability to comprehend, avoid or eradicate the danger before a catastrophic event occurs.
Locked into habitual mundane and ordinary modes of thinking, we ignore the warning flags. They point to something beyond the obvious. There are many who having been made aware of pending disaster or latent destruction and pandemics refuse to correct their course. Consequentially many are in pearl. Indifference will keep the eye from the microscope, seismographs or telescope. This failure often leads to disaster.
God gave us knowledge, wisdom and understanding far greater then the other animals abroad. He surly meant for us to apply it to life. After Adam brought disease and death, we would need it often. Open minds, prayer and faith opens the door to Gods intervention. Ranting, raving and accusing God serves no productive purpose. Spiritual examination of situations below the surface may produce calm preperation.
Preparation during the lull in the center of the storm will better prepare for the returning winds of sorrow. Knowledge of the iceberg's hidden mass can distance those in its path from hidden danger. Just because you can’t see it, does not mean that it isn’t there. So it is with the return of COVID-19. So it is with return of our Lord Jesus. Watch for clews hidden beneath the surface. Obey those who have looked. Victory is written clearly in history and in God’s word. There is peace in applied knowledge.
John 16:7 “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.”
John 14:3 “I go to prepare a place for you. 3  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”
See the signs and watch. Know God, know peace. Amen. 07-01-2020 BLL

Thy will be Done...the Wayfarer 3/15/19

Thy will be Done 3/15/19 Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV) 9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11  Give us this day our daily bread. 12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. The "model " prayer, given us by Jesus, repeated daily throughout the world, by many denomination and sect, though seldom examined by those parroting the words is NOT an empty example that is to be followed by congregant, memorized by children and adult alike.  It is exactly the opposite of that emptiness, holding the essence of what SHOU LD be in the heart of the one praying. It is GOD'S will that need be sought, not just daily, but continually by all wishing an audience wit

A Giving Heart

By -
  A GIVING HEART “ Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.” (1 Chronicles 29:9) Israel’s people brought gifts for the construction of the holy temple in Jerusalem, it is mentioned no less than six times in this chapter that their offerings were willing offerings. In fact, they were not only willing but it also brought rejoicing in their hearts. They were building a worship house. It was a sacred place, a place belonging to all who would come to worship. Joyful giving is not the usual response to a fundraising effort for a religious cause by modern church leaders. The parishioners follow the attitude of their chosen pastors and often the pastor tickles their ears to encourage giving. The great proliferation of solicitation of money today by media broadcast has developed a growing cynicism in Christians toward all tithing. Further, misuse of col

This Day

  Each Day We can only live each day in its time frame. Yesterday, with its ups and downs is passed never to return. Tomorrow is a vision of hope not yet on the horizon. Today is the day the Lord has given us. Let Each Day We can only live each day in its time frame. Yesterday, with its ups and downs is passed never to return. Tomorrow is a vision of hope not yet on the horizon. Today is the day the Lord has given us. Lets make the best soldier for Him that we can while the day passes into yesterday. Each day bares its on unique set of events. Some recognizable some masked in ignorance. As we near the dawning of a new day, calling upon the Lord is a necessary activity. If we neglect the creat o r and giver of the new day, we simply cannot have a right spirit. Joy comes in the morning only through God’s book of promises. You can depend upon them unless the bible is shelved drawing dust. Open the new day with prayer and an open book. 1 Timothy 4: 4 “ For every creature of God
