Another Reason For Palm Sunday

We all know that today is Palm Sunday, when Jesus entered into Jerusalem, the beginning of the week of his dying on the cross to save us sinners. But I want to talk to you another reason why we shall worship the Lord Jesus.
Today's bible verse is from Matthew 6:28-34, which reads "28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." I would like to share with you a story about somethings that my wife Brenda and I have been going through in the last 8 months or so. It all started last fall, around the end of October, we had the chance to move from an apartment with a combination tub shower, to a apartment with just a shower, we grabbed at it as soon as we heard about it. It still took another month or so before we could move in but things started to fall into place, getting the other person to leave the apartment to getting help from some nice people when we needed there help to move they where there for us. Know it's in the middle of April, and the shower was a God send. A few weeks ago my upper arm around the ball joint where the arm meets the shoulder, started to act up from you know who Arthur. Yes I hate to admit that I have Arthristis in parts of my body, but lets look at the whole picture for a minute. God knew about what Arthur was going to do with Brenda and myself, so God intervened and got us the new apartment with the walk in shower, he also helped in making all the aragements in helping us to move in just before Christmas. Some people might not look at this as anything that God could not handle but my point is he knew what was going to happen and he knew how to take care of the problem for us. Like today's bible verse tells us let God worry about the little things, I know he did for Brenda and myself.
Until latter I do hope you all have a good Palm Sunday.

Psalms Reading For March 24, 2011

Good Morning. Today's bible reading is from Psalms 29:1,2:

1 Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings,
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;
worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness.

I want to take a minute and add something about myself in this post. The verse you just read talks about worshiping and ascribing to God. But I want to add my belief system to that verse. You see I believe that God is more to me then just a spirit that lives miles away from us. I believe that he is hear, living with everyone who calls upon his name. His son Jesus died on the cross so we can talk to his father God anytime that we need to, He's always been there for me when I say I need to talk to you God. he's right there always ready to listen to what I have to say. This is what I believe and without that believe I couldn't worship God like it states in today's bible verse. I hope you all have a good day and don't forget to talk to God when you can, he's always there for you also.

Psalms Reading For March 22, 2011

Today's reading is from Psalms 139:1-4 which is:
¹ O LORD, you have searched me and known me!
² You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
³ You search out my path and my lying down
and are acquainted with all my ways.
⁴ Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O LORD, you know it altogether.

Our Praises To GOD!

I know that it's been awhile since I last posted but I've been under a lot of stress for sometime. Resently I've been reading Psalms to my morning Quiet Time, this morning I read from Ps. 105:1-4 which goes like this,
1 Oh give thanks to the LORD; call upon his name;
make known his deeds among the peoples!
2 Sing to him, sing praises to him;
tell of all his wondrous works!
3 Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice!
4 Seek the LORD and his strength;
seek his presence continually!

I have trouble at times remembering how good God is to all of us, not just to my self but to all of us. Todays reading reminded me of that. It also reminded me that we have to go to him for our strength, every day. If we keep on remembering all that he had done, and all that he will do, then how hard is it to ask for his strength, hell give it to you when you ask for it. For my self I keep forgetting that I can't keep on going without looking up to God for His Grace. So if your like me, please keep in mind that you have to keep on talking to God and giving thanks for his Grace.

God's Only Gospel

Good Sunday morning to everyone: I want to start this post by looking at Galatians 1:6-9, which reads, "I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel, not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so not I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed."
I'm a very shy introvert, but even as I am, I still believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which I believe to be one of Salvation thru the death of Jesus on the cross for each and everyone of us. All we have to do is to believe that he did die on the cross and we have to call upon his name to except that free gift of Salvation. I'm like St Paul and believe that this is the only gospel there is. Jesus said it himself in John 14:6, which reads, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. no one comes to the Father except through me." Without Jesus dieing on the cross we can not talk to God our Father at any cost except through the death of Jesus. This is what I believe from my heart to be the truth, and I do feel sorry for anyone who tries to think other wise.

Behold, the Lamb of God

29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me.' 31 I myself did not know him, but for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel."
John 1:29-31

The Good Shepherd

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the day of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Psalm 23
