“LORD HEARS AND DELIVERS THEM!”

 Psalm 34:17                            (ESV)

    “[17] When the righteous cry for help, the LORD HEARS

        AND DELIVERS THEM out of all their troubles.”

“WORD OF GOD!”

 Hebrews 4:11-13 (ESV)

“[11] Let us therefore STRIVE TO ENTER THAT REST, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. [12] For the “WORD OF GOD” is LIVING and ACTIVE, SHARPER THAN ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD, piercing to the DIVISION OF SOUL AND SPIRIT, of JOINTS and of MARROW, and discerning the THOUGHTS and INTENTIONS of the heart. [13] And no creature is hidden from HIS sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of HIM to WHOM we must give account.”




Usually when I read an entry on a social media page it is after I have determined that the author is credible? But who is it that is writing what I post?  

What I should be doing is making certain that the “WORD OF GOD” is what I am allowing to be used to cultivate the message being spoken by my life!!!

“I WILL GIVE YOU!”

 Luke 21:14-15.                (ESV)

“Settle it therefore in your minds not to meditate beforehand how to answer, for “I WILL GIVE YOU” a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict”

“HE CHOSE US!”

Ephesians 1:3-10                      (ESV)

Spiritual Blessings in Christ

“[3] Blessed be the GOD and FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO has blessed us in CHRIST with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, [4] even as “HE CHOSE US” in HIM before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before HIM. In love [5] HE predestined us for adoption to HIMSELF as sons through JESUS CHRIST, according to the purpose of HIS will, [6] to the praise of his glorious grace, with which HE has blessed us in the Beloved. [7] In HIM we have redemption through HIS blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of HIS grace, [8] which HE lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight [9] making known to us the mystery of HIS will, according to HIS purpose, which HE set forth in CHRIST [10] as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in HIM, things in heaven and things on earth.”

It is very difficult to SEE our worthiness of Salvation when a proper view of CALVARY has been given to us!!!

“KEEPS SILENT!”

 I shared this a few days ago, and TODAY I awoke with this sentiment on my mind…….

Proverbs 17:28                          (ESV)

    “Even a fool who “KEEPS SILENT” is considered wise;

        when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.”

Proverbs 17:28

 Proverbs 17:28                          (ESV)

    “Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;

        when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.”

“DO NOT LEAN ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING!”

 Proverbs 3:5-6                    (ESV)

    “[5] Trust in the LORD with all your heart,

        and “DO NOT LEAN ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING”. 

    [6] In all your ways acknowledge HIM,

        and HE will make straight your paths.”

“BE STILL” (Psalms 46:10) can also be translated “LET GO”, as I have shared often over the past few years.  Recognizing and realizing that is something that can be missed by our worldly vision!!  Recently I was “pressed for time” as my wife had a funeral she wanted to attend and I needed to be in our insurance office.  My “prayer time” was cut into and I tried operating on minimal time with OUR CREATOR.  Definitely, I was NOT BEING STILL nor LETTING GO, rather doing everything I could to get to the office.  

The Brain Hemorrhage 15 years ago had affected a major impact in my life.   The assumed changes might be physical, as we NEED cognitive abilities to operate our bodies in a healthy environment.  Me SLOWING DOWN my life has OPENED my EYES to SEE what was previously ignored (or undetected!) when I was TOO BUSY to seek GOD’s guidance.  The “hurriedness” I placed on myself in the days mentioned above caused me to SEE that what I choose to do with the seemingly “small things” in my life could make me “miss” hearing from my CREATOR!  

Doing what we think, and possibly even believe, is the correct thing to do might be something that seems right to “this world”, but isn’t where GOD would have us be!  We are DOOMED if we trust our own instincts when making decisions about the direction we take.  Unless we SLOW DOWN and “DO NOT LEAN ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING”, we might not be able to hear that “still, small voice” (1 Kings 19:13 KJV) from our CREATOR???

Time invested in quiet meditation with JESUS is never wasted time!  We MUST recognize that we “DO NOT LEAN ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING” if we want to accomplish HIS PLAN for our lives!  Surrendering to HIS PLAN is FAR BETTER than ours!!!  “DO NOT LEAN ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING!!!”
