The blessing of the Lord


The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. Numbers 6:24‭-‬26 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/num.6.24-26.KJV

This blessing is the kind that the Lord gives to each of us. We can bless each other with it and use it to bless our children too. In the world that we live in today, they need this blessing whether they know Jesus as their Savior or not. God is the Creator and He ordained His blessing to each person who will accept the gift of grace and forgiveness that comes through your belief in Jesus for your salvation.

Life is too short for us to be against each other the way the world wants us to be today. But…the news is full of stories that show that we are willing to be at odds with each other even over little things that don’t matter at all. Someone turns into the wrong driveway and they get shot. A person knocks on the wrong door and before they can explain, they get shot. We are far to quick on the trigger these days. I pray that everyone will seek some wisdom from God’s Word after reading this post because it is desperately needed today.

You are loved by God more than you realize. I mean, if He cares for every sparrow that falls from the sky, how much more does He care for you? Jesus said that the Father knows when each bird (sparrow) falls. He loves us because we are created in His image and He sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins so that we could have a relationship with Him forever. All that we have to do is believe that He did this for us and repent of our sins and follow Him until the day comes when He calls us home to be with Him.

The path to eternity


Years ago, when I was a teenager, I heard messages from preachers on TV and in church but I couldn’t believe that it was true. At that time…I didn’t believe the Bible was God’s Word and even if it was, it was just some old book to me at the time. I wasn’t going to allow this “book” to dictate my life for me. I was in the same shape in reference to faith in Anyone, such as God or Jesus. I knew about them intellectually but belief in Jesus to save my soul was something that I didn’t think I needed at the time. I was believing a lie from Satan himself.

So much of the world today is following along with that lie but they don’t know or believe that it is a lie. It seems to be the truth because every media outlet is saying that it is the truth. Our belief in Jesus should give us a confident conviction that He is Who the Bible said He is, He will do what He promised to do, and upon placing my trust in Him, I will enter into a personal, eternal relationship with the Son of God.

Jesus told His disciples in the Bible that the world is following a path that is very broad. It looks great and it is smooth to walk on, most of the time, and it is easy to follow because there are many people on it. But…the broad road eventually leads to spiritual death and an eternity in hell. Then you have a pathway that follows a rough and rocky path, not a road, that leads to salvation in Jesus Christ. It isn’t easy to follow, especially at the very beginning. Why is that? Because we are just beginning the journey and it takes some time to learn how to navigate the pathway. It takes time and it is something that we must read God’s Word in order to know how to do.

That pathway becomes easier as you navigate it if you have read the guidebook, the Bible. The broad road is easy from the beginning and many people don’t seek to know Jesus well enough to walk on the pathway and not on the road. They know about Jesus and they’ve heard many messages about Him but they have never given their heart to Him and allowed Him to change their heart to become more like Him. Most of them have been members of a church for years but they have never asked Jesus into their lives and their hearts to save their souls from hell.

I trust in You, Lord.

God loves broken things


God is not happy when we feel broken or we are broken by something. In today’s world, many of us feel this way because of the circumstances we find ourselves in but God can bring us out of those circumstances. God can heal all sorts of illnesses and problems that we have been told can’t be fixed. God is still a healer! He didn’t stop at Pentecost! He has been healing people for thousands of years and He can still do it today.

Being broken doesn’t mean that we can’t be fixed, it just means that God will prove Himself in a way that we will notice. Sometimes the healing takes the form of death because it is the best cure a Christian can receive. Those who are left may think that God couldn’t heal their loved one but God made them more alive than they ever could be here. In heaven, we are in glorified bodies that will never decay or wear out and we have no disease or infirm problems like we have here.

When you feel that your life is not what it could be, seek God’s provision for your life. He can provide and He will when you are seeking Him. He will answer your prayer in His time and in His will for your life so don’t put it off, decide to follow Him every day as you live and breathe in this world. Then you will have an eternity to be with Him and be in His presence one day as well.

Encourage each other


You are God!


Put on the whole armor of God


Who do you rely on?


God wants us. Not our thoughts or our words or even our prayers, He wants us to give our life to Him completely. This is a strange idea to some people who have grown up in the church, especially in America, because our culture doesn’t believe in giving our “self” away to someone, not even God. We are taught to be ourselves and be genuine in our desires and our wants. We are taught to be independent and be our own “god” in a way. That is one reason why our country has moved so far away from faith in God. We have been taught to be reliant on only one person and that person is us, each of us.

God provides for each of us every day yet many people don’t recognize it. First, He gives us another day to serve Him when we wake up in the morning. He also gives us the air that we breathe and our ability to get up and move as well. Everything that we mostly take for granted and even believe that we are responsible for having has been given to us by God. If you are a believer, you have been bought with the blood of Jesus. All of us are part of His creation. Nothing in this universe is here by accident. Even the smallest insect is part of the world that we live in. We may not know what their purpose is but God knows.

Your life and mine are helpful to Him in ways that we don’t realize. Particularly, if you are a believer. Those who know you watch your actions and your words to see if you are living out what you believe. You may not know it but they are. Giving your heart and your life to Jesus is the most important decision you can make. It’s more important than a career or marriage or any other decision once you realize that you need Him. None of us would come to Him for our salvation until the Holy Spirit touches our hearts and we realize that we are nothing without Him. I pray that everyone who reads this will seek to be a disciple of Jesus while there is time.

John 3:16 says it best: Because God loved the world (everyone in the world), He gave His only begotten Son. That whosoever believes in Him will not perish but will have eternal life. (paraphrase)

I’m safe in the Lord
