Looking Back

Looking Back
Looking back to the onset of the contra virus, one can see that things could have been done differently. However, we are where we are in God’s time frame. We all surly turn now and again to stare in amazement at the back life and its accomplishments and failures. This is sometimes good and sometimes not so good. If it were possible to go back and live those days over, we might do differently. In a poem composed years back I say: “Its off down the road I go to a place not far below. A place from which to backward look and see what road I wrongward took.” In this current pandemic it is imperative that we all take a backward look and learn from our mistakes. It ins't over until it’s over. Let us all try to make some positive difference. don’t backward look desiring repetition of any wrongs or mistakes. God is not pleased with that. Once we have seen the error of our ways let us press on to better days.
 Luke 9:62 “And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
In all things give God the praise. Forget not that He is truly worthy of our praise and glorifies in it.
 John 6:66 ”From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 67  Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 68  Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 69  And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
 Luke 17:15 "And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
Hebrews 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.”
Hebrews 10:39 “But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
When Sitting Bull appeared before Abraham Lincoln to plead the case of Indian mistreatment, the president told him to return to the Indian territory and there endeavor to preserver.” A short time later the massacre of soldiers at the battle of little big Horne Sitting Bull states “ We are endeavoring to persevere.” Every man looks at life from his own perspective. It is necessary to attempt to see Gods perspective. Know God, know peace. 08-03-2020 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

  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
