Thursday thoughts

When my old blogging partner destroyed this blog, due to severe TDS, I had thought it was gone forever.

Until years later, my daughter was able to restore this blog!  In its heyday, we had over 10,000 followers, and we (blogging partner and I) easily spent several hours every single day, working on it. Now, I struggle to give it that kind of attention again. When he destroyed it, I lost hope in the blog.

This feeling is what many Christians have, when their lives seem to be in the pit of despair. They lose hope in believing, because their hearts are focused on this world, instead of our future in glory with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The peace in believing! 

Monday musings on the Word

It is sometimes difficult to understand how anyone, once given the Gospel, can reject it. We can find the answer, by going back to the very beginning…the Garden of Eden. What exactly happened there, was Adam choosing his wife over God. He loved Eve more than he loved God. Which in reality, was self-love. 

That is what happens with all who reject the Gospel. They love themselves and their sin. They have no desire to be freed from that sin. So tragic, but I see it all the time.

Friday Facts

Here is a fact.  We must call upon Him in TRUTH!  If we are completely honest with the Lord, He is near us. Adam attempted to deceive the Lord, when he tried to hide from Him. The Lord knows ALL things, and nothing can be hidden from Him. If we want real closeness with the LORD, we must be truthful with ourselves, others, and the Lord Himself most of all.

Romans 9:19-21 KJV [19] Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? [20] Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? [21] Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

John 15:4-7 KJV

[4] Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

[5] I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

[6] If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

[7] If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

John 1:29-32 KJV

[29] The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

[30] This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.

[31] And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

[32] And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

Proverbs 6:6-11 KJV

[6] Go to the ant, thou sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise:

[7] Which having no guide, Overseer, or ruler,

[8] Provideth her meat in the summer, And gathereth her food in the harvest.

[9] How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

[10] Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep:

[11] So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, And thy want as an armed man.

The lost are never satisfied, and chase after one thing or another, spending their lives pursuing satisfaction. Still. Always athirst. All the while, Satan will use every tool in his cunning arsenal, to cause lost souls to kill themselves before they can get saved. 

Believers know what they thirst after. Living water.

If we are continually thanking and praising Him, there will be no room in our hearts for lust, greed, envy… it is a matter of being entirely filled.  Not needing anything more beyond food, clothing, and shelter. And we find, the more we are filled with praise for our Saviour, the other stuff comes quite easily.

You know, the peace that comes though faith in Christ is hard to explain to those who hold fast to their works. Prideful mankind will always want to add to their salvation.

One young man I knew, said he did not believe in the pre-trib rapture, “because we need to be punished.”  He could not see that he was blaspheming our Lord Jesus Christ’s finished work on the cross. Saying you can add to that, is putting yourself on His level!
