Tomorrow

 Today is a special day. A Holy day. A day the Lord has made. Rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24

  Ye know not what shall be on the morrow

   James 4:14

“Tomorrow” is the devil’s great ally—the very Goliath in whom he trusts for victory. “Now” is the stripling sent forth against him.… The world will freely agree to be Christians tomorrow if Christ will permit them to be worldly today.

All too often we put off until tomorrow what needs to be done today. The problem with that is that tomorrow may never come. Hearing and moving forward when the Lord calls is paramount for the life of your soul. Those whom He selects to His service may be someone else's lifeline. Tomorrow may not be an option for them so today is the day to answer His call. 

I know I said there will be no post today but I felt the need to post today anyway. Have a Wonerful Christmas holiday. May the good Lord bless and keep you safe. Remember to "Always Love The Details."

Doubting

   He [Thomas] … said, Except I shall see … I will not believe … Jesus … said … But not faithless, but believing

        John 20:25, 27

Every doubt in the heart of a Christian is a dishonor done to the Word of God, and the sacrifice of Christ.

The attitude of seeing is believing is not always a good thing. Faith means believing in what is unseen. The proof will come later as you live in the faith of Christianity. The beauty of that faith is the reality of living a life of love and service to others. The joy of others becomes the joy in your life. It is worth more than anything else on earth.

I will not be posting next week. Have a great and joyous Christmas. May the good Lord bless and keep you safe. Remember to "Always love The Details."

Tribulation

 

  In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world

        John 16:33

Tribulation is God’s threshing—not to destroy us, but to get what is good, heavenly, and spiritual in us separated from what is wrong, earthly, and fleshly. Nothing less than blows of pain will do this. The evil clings so to the good, the golden wheat of goodness in us is so wrapped up in the strong chaff of the old life that only the heavy flail of suffering can produce the separation.

2 Corinthians 12:10

 

  When I am weak, then am I strong

        2 Cor. 12:10

This is God’s way. We advance by going backwards, we become strong by becoming weak, we become wise by being fools.

In the course of our travels on this earth we encounter many different individuals. Those encounters range from pleasant to regretful, both in-person and unseen. The scripture quote is especially relevant for me. I have spent many hours, even longer, being weak and a fool (Not that there was a choice in most cases). It felt like going in reverse at times. That is when you realize you are alone with no-one to share the loneliness, to show the way back, to hold hands. It is also the time we find strength to move forward and press on in the apparent lack of direction. The reality of life is that only at these times are we truly strong. Strength and wisdom are co-existent in being weak and, at times, a fool. I am no superman. I am not invincible, nor can I fly or walk on water. We can learn from our passage through life. It is well to remember that as we pass through this life everything anyone does affects everyone else in this life. The good, the bad and the ugly all affect everyone. There is more to learn from the bible and the wisdom within its pages than most bother to seek from it.           

May the good Lord bless and keep you safe. Remember to "Alway Love Details."
