Groundhog Day

I am hoping you are having a good day with the Lord!

My wife and I watched, "Groundhog Day" last night. I have seen this movie many times, yet this time it revealed something in me that I did not like. For those of you who have not seen this movie I will not tell you the whole story.

The main character in this movie is egocentric. He has to live the same day over and over and over again. What this movie revealed in me was just how selfish I have been throughout my life. Whew, that was extremely difficult to confess😁!

As I laid in bed last night I prayed and asked God to forgive me for being so egocentric. I felt his presence come over me. I am bound by gratefulness to God!

Jesus was a Servant King while he walked on this earth.

The verse that came to my mind is Matthew 6:33, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." You may be thinking, "How does this verse fit with being selfish?" Well, if we truly seek "his kingdom and his righteousness, then Jesus will reveal to you what needs to be purified. It is a daily walk with Jesus that will makes us more like him!

Thank you for reading my blogs! May God Bless you richly!

My favorite time of year!

Well, how about that!

It's Friday afternoon. To tell you the truth I am really tired. I want to share something great with you. It has not come to me yet. 

This morning I read about the rich young ruler in Luke 18:18. "He came and asked Jesus what he must do to gain eternal life? Jesus reminded him of the commandments. The rich young rule replied that he has kept all commandments." Jesus knew he was telling the truth. So, Jesus understanding where this young ruler's heart was told him, "You still lack on thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me. When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was very wealthy." The rich young ruler left. Jesus did not try to bring him back! 

Have you ever wondered why Jesus did not pursue him? I know that Jesus wants all of our love and attention. Are you thinking...well, I just can't sit around all day and night meditating on Jesus and the Bible! Of course not! However, we are able to talk to Jesus all throughout our busy day. We are able to thank him for our food, our health, our job and all the people he puts in our path each and everyday!

Has Jesus asked you a question that pierces your heart? Has he asked you to give up something that is not good for you? To be honest with you, Jesus has told me to study the Bible more and watch less television. I do love the Bible! I have no excuse. I am still recovering from all my cancer treatments. My energy and my endurance is still not where it use to be before cancer. When I do watch television, I pause on the commercials and pray for someone or remember some of my favorite verses. Well by golly, I feel great and I don't have to watch those dumb commercials!

Jesus love you and me! He understands exactly where we are and what's in our heart! Be willing to give to Him whatever He asks and you will be thankful!

THANK U JESUS!

Jesus answered...

A good afternoon to you!

Recently, I have learned that I am Lactose Intolerant. So, with the Jesus' help, I am going dairy and sugar free! I look forward to this new challenge in my life. Hopefully, I will lose some weight too💪!

The verses of today is from John 14:5-6. In verse 5, Thomas asked Jesus, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?" Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."  

In this world today it is difficult to be a Christ Follower. However, when people ask us if we are a Christian, are we ready for persecution? Jesus dealt with it from is own people and from his home town and from his own family! I have had to deal with disowning from my siblings and two of my three daughters.

Are we ready to let people know that Jesus is the only way to heaven? About a year ago, I felt strongly led by the Holy Spirit to text all my siblings and my daughters and my son-in-law this message, "Jesus loves you and wants you back!"  Well, for those of you who do not know, I am the only Christ Follower in my family! The texts I received were angry! You would of thought that I cursed at them and that probably would have gone over more smoothly😏! 

My point today is that the name of Jesus is more offensive to the world than any other name! I love Jesus! He saved me cancer! What has Jesus done for you? My Mom tells me all the time, "I count my blessings every night when I go to bed!" That is a wonderful way to thank Jesus each day!

AMEN & AMEN!

WOW! God is Amazing!

A good day to you where you may be!

Reading the Psalms is so rewarding! In Psalm 139:16, David expressed, "Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." Ponder this verse for a few minutes.

Over the years, I have read Psalm 139 too many times to count. However, I read it last Monday and this verse made me say, "WOW!" God knew me even before I was created in my mother's womb! God knows all the days of my life! God has written in His book everything I will ever do and say! WOW! This one verse is so deep😧!

Think about the fact that this is only one verse from the entire Bible. We are able to read the Bible over and over and still receive from God his love and directions for our lives!

Thank you for reading my blog! My hope and prayer is that you are richly blessed! I give all the glory to God for what I share with you!

WOW, GOD IS AMAZING!

God's Timing!

It's Saturday afternoon and I know I desire to write to you. I no idea of what to write! Help me Holy Spirit!

Have you heard a promise from God? He will always keep His promise to you! However, God's timing is different than ours. Psalm 27 says, "Wait for the LORD, take heart and wait for the LORD." Waiting is one of the hardest aspects of life!

Here I am nine and half years cancer free and I am still waiting to be fully recovered. I recently received a medication that I have not had for four months. This medication is helping me have more energy and clarity of mind. Four months of waiting takes its toll.

I understand that many of you are waiting on the LORD. I am! Let us keep trusting that the LORD knows the best time to give us what we are waiting for. Proverbs 3: 5-6 states, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." 

Waiting and trusting in the LORD is a test of our faith in Him! Be of good cheer because the LORD only tests HIS Children! I am so grateful to be a son of the one true King!

I am HiS

OH SO TRUE!

Sing the LORD'S Music!

Good morning to you!

Three days ago, I heard Pastor Matt Hagee preach on tv. One point he made was when we grumble and complain, we are singing Satan's music! However, when we praise the LORD, we are singing the LORD'S music! I do not know about you, but I would rather sing the LORD'S music♬!

Psalm 134 fits very well with praising the LORD! "Praise the LORD, all you servants of the LORD who minister by night in the house of the LORD. Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the LORD. May the LORD bless you from Zion, he who is the Maker of heaven and earth."

I realize that there are some of you who read my blog that are not able to attend a church. Remember, Jesus told the Samaritan woman that one day you will be able to worship the LORD wherever you are! I know that my brothers and sisters in Christ suffer because of their faith. Jesus suffered! I want to be like Jesus! What about you?

Start singing the LORD'S music and feel your spirit rise!

I am HIS,

SINGING TO THE LORD MAKES ME HAPPY!

Comfort in suffering!

A Good Saturday morning to you wherever you may be! 

I must keep this blog short. I have had three concussions and a minor seizure in the last three months! Then, last Thursday, my wife and I heard a loud pop coming from my right ankle. We went to the Urgent Care Friday afternoon. I had an MRI and an ultrasound. This morning I received a phone call with great news...there is nothing wrong with my ankle! I have a bone spur in the back of my right heal. Praise the Lord🙌!

The verse for this blog comes from Psalm 119: 50. "My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promises preserves my life." 

Here is a piece of knowledge from Psalm 119. King David wrote this psalm to teach his young son Solomon how to read the Hebrew alphabet. He also wanted to pass on to his son wisdom and understanding.

May you find comfort in your suffering today! If you are not suffering today, then praise HIM!

I am HIS,
