Not Been Heard

I know a gospel song having the words; “oft times I rise from the alter of prayer knowing that I’ve not been heard.” This I have experienced. You may have felt it also. Why did we think God had not heard our prayer? Is there a possibility that we have too many other voices in our head? Could we have drifted so far away from Him that we no longer hear? Perhaps, we don’t want to hear His reply! You can be sure that we hear God’s voice; He said we would. Old Slew-foot wants to keep us doubting everything concerning God. How about trying rejecting the wares of the devil.

Whatever the blocking factors, this is a very serious situation. Hearing and knowing His voice is essential to our relationship with our Lord. Who knows when the window of opportunity to “make things right” will close? I have been taken away with cares of life, future planning and building earthly treasures. Though Loving and serving God, He did not have my full attention. It was a fault of my flesh; no more!

Some unknown soul composed words similar to these: “The Lord knows I’m guilty, of living my life. Like there is always tomorrow, for making things right. But our days are numbered, like the hairs on our head. No man knows the hour that he’ll shake hands with death.” (Matthew 10:30) “But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.” Relation 3:3 “Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.”

Matthew 24:44 “Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. (Luke 12:40) Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. (Mark 13:32) But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.”

Many situations in this life are unclear. However, one situation is very clear. “You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.”

Know God, know peace. Amen 03/24/21 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
