Comfort Others

When the final sunset falls over our lives, we may realize our lives were more centered on self. But as that draws near one becomes acutely aware of someone saying, “you made a difference in my life. We can receive the death angel with comfort and joy. Standing on the brink of eternity and looking onto the throne of our Lord will be the test. Did we receive so great a salvation to park on a pew glancing at the clock periodically and hearing growling noises in our tummy's.;or fishing in our hearts. Do we do the work that God planned for us when He breathed the breath of life into us? Or, did we say “ah someone else will do it.” Earth and its inhabitants does not revolve around us. We are a mere pawn on a chest board waiting the masters moving us. When we try to build unto ourselves great fortunes, a spectacular home or advanced community leader ship. What will hear from the lips of God; “well done my good and faithful servant” Welcome in. How sweet that sounds will be! However if we neglect so great an assignment with excuses what will he say to us.

Matthew 7:22 “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?”

Matthew 7:23 “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”

Hebrews 13:16 says, “Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.”

We don’t enlarge ourselves in material things. God gives the increase. He has the say, not we who may be prone to believe we do. Take care of earthly things after ministering to God. He lets some live generously, so they may freely help those in need with no thought of what will come in return. Time is a rare diminishing treasure. We watch our “time” speed away with little thought of what we must do with the spiritual gifts and natural-born talents we possess from God, and our financial and material possessions. When we do good to others by sharing with them, God recognizes our selflessness and sees it as a sacrifice of service to Him.

Romans 12:1 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Know God, know peace. 04/12/21 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
