Priority-One for Today

“With the LORD a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day” (2 Peter 3:8).

So, what’s our big hurry? We’ve all seen the morning news on TV when they show the traffic report for commuters – all the cars speeding along, diverting off on feeders, exiting going north, south, east and west doing 75-80 mph – looking like millions of busy little ants. Busy, busy, busy chattering away on their cell phones, doing what they believe is vitally important – making the most of their day.

Wait a second, what’s wrong with this picture? Are we truly making the most of our day(s)? Hopefully, we are. We are if start our day with a prayer acknowledging God’s plan for our day, and during our day, we stop every once in a while to thank Him for all He has done for us – if at the end of our day we thank Him for our jobs, our spouses, our children, our friends, the homes we live in, our financial resources, our health, our nation and our leaders we are. If every chance we get during our busy day we pray for Jerusalem and peace in the world we are making an attempt to make the most of our day.

I believe what is truly important about how we make the most of our day is we first honor our LORD Jesus Christ thanking Him for our salvation; acknowledging that without Him our day would no doubt be very difficult if not disastrous! Thank you Jesus for saving my day!

Today, be blessed my friend.

Walk Of Faith

I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is; God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

Get Out Of Your Boat

In (Matthew 14:25) Jesus had told the disciples to get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side of the lake. The Bible says; He went up on a mountainside by Himself to pray. The wind was strong that night and the waves buffeted the small boat, tossing it to and fro. It would have been a frightening time to be out on the water; especially that late at night. The men in the boat trembled with fear, and when they saw Jesus walking out to them on the water they thought He was a ghost. Jesus assured them it was He and they should not be afraid. Peter, one of the disciples, said, “Lord, if it’s You, tell me to come to You on the water!” Jesus told him, “Come.” Peter stepped out of the boat, walked toward Jesus, but when he saw the wind; the Bible says, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Peter’s faith was strong, at first. He was walking on the top of the waves just as Jesus was, but the moment he allowed himself to think rationally instead of t...
