Wisdom from Proverbs

 

it ain't easy!

 i want to be forgiven ... but oh how hard to forgive someone else ...  thankfully God helps us  do that ... in fact HE gave us a great example to follow ... Jesus ... 

HOPE

 

GOD is always waiting for us to seek Him out ...

         .... in the morning when i rise ... give me Jesus ... 

grace grace, God's grace ...

"Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus."        1 Thessalonians 5:18 ...

my thought is that for those of us who are redeemed by the blood and living daily for Jesus - everything we encounter is there for a purpose ... 

a passing shadow ...

 we are only guaranteed  the moment we currently occupy  ... and that is all ... like the grass that grows, then withers ... a mere moment in time ... but GOD, gave us His only Son Jesus - that by believing in Him - we might have more than just that wisp of time ... we can have eternity with Him.

the WHOLE armour of GOD

The day will dawn SOON that sin will be done away with ... we won't be battling each other because of the devil's planted seeds on the earth ... God will totally eradicate it, and we will only know His Presence & love ... sinless ... imagine!  But until that day ... put on the whole armour of God ... 

Ephesians 6:10-18   Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.   Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.  For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,  and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;  above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;  praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints

such great love ...

 

Living Word, Unchanging Word, GOD's Word

 in our day and age of untruth passing for truth ... of right being proclaimed wrong ... stay the course, read the bible ... as Billy Graham once said, " “I’ve read the last page of the Bible. It’s all going to turn out all right.” " ... 

God's eye is always on His children

 i remind myself that tho' life seems confining at times ... God has the larger - eternal view of all things ... everything will work out according to His perfect plan ... thank you Jesus.
