Forget Him Not

Remembering He is our watchful shepherd

Do you have those special days or mornings when you get up and for some strange reason you feel exceptionally…great? It’s kind of like your energy level is higher or something. You have a better than average attitude about your coming day and you feel excited about what it’s going bring. Of course, there are many days when we don’t have this wonderful kind of optimism. In fact, some mornings it’s hard to even get out of bed much less feel like a fully-charged, Eveready battery! How often do you count these days both good and bad as God’s blessings? Truly, I say our days are all His gifts. They are our opportunities to accomplish the plans He has for our future, His plans to prosper us  and not to harm us. Does what I am saying sound familiar? It should for in (Jeremiah 29:11) this is what God tells us. He is always our watchful, responsible shepherd who is looking out for us. Our God wants only the best for us!

Each morning God waits for us to get up so He can show us new things, take us to greener pastures, and provide the exceptional for us. After all, we are His beloved sheep and He cares for us. Sadly, I think we become so familiar with our routines and our habits we don’t recognize the blessings we do have from God. The blessings of having those good days mixed with the difficult ones -- the times when we don’t have that; all too familiar pain or some hurtful memory. It is hard sometimes to see the forest for the trees, as the old saying goes. God planned our days and our future long ago. It’s really shameful that we tend to look at our days as just another day, a forest full of trees!

In (Isaiah 25:1) the prophet exclaims; “O Lord, You are my God; I will exalt You and praise Your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago.” Today, let us not forget that God is our watchful shepherd and that He has destined us for good and not bad. Have a blessed day and help someone else share your joy in Him!

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...

Two Kinds of Wisdom

That which is earthly, and that which is heavenly The Bible speaks of us being exposed to two kinds of wisdom; one that subjects us to bitterness, envy and selfish ambition, e.g. earthly wisdom , and that which comes from heaven which is first of all pure; peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. In (James 3:13) this servant of God, asked , “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” Which form of wisdom will you profess; that which is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil or that which is of heaven? At the time of Jesus’ birth, three wise men from the east came to Jerusalem seeking the one who was now born King of the Jews . King Herod called upon these three to “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” he said in; (Matthew 2:8) -- the three wise men were told by He...
