Restoration & Salvation

Dec22

And now says the Lord, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, To bring Jacob back to Him, so that Israel might be gathered to Him (For I am honored in the sight of the Lord, And My God is My strength), He says, “It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also make You a light of the nations So that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”
Isaiah‬ ‭49:5‭-‬6‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/isa.49.5.NASB1995

There is much to celebrate in the birth of Jesus Christ. He was born to restore Israel back to their God and be a Light to the rest of the world for their salvation. What a wonderful gift the Father bestowed upon the world that first Christmas.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
John‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Hoping You Have a Mary Christmas – Repost

Dec21

Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.” But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”
Luke 10:38‭-‬42 NASB

I hope you don’t miss it.

We can get so caught up in the hustle and bustle and be distracted, like Martha. The gift buying and wrapping; parties, stressing over the preparation; dealing with heavier traffic and people everywhere.

Let us not forget the real, true reason for the season, like Mary, Jesus. “For Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”

🌹God bless you and I hope you have a Mary Christmas.

Proud or Humble

Dec19

But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom.
Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.
James‬ ‭4:6‭-‬10‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.4.10.NASB1995

Godliness Brings Persecution

Dec18

Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
2 Timothy‬ ‭3:12‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/2ti.3.12.NASB1995

‭‭It is not a matter of whether you will be persecuted, but when, if you are living a godly life.
Jesus, who led the perfect godly life,  was persecuted. . .

Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.
John‬ ‭15:20‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/jhn.15.20.NASB1995

Have you been there? Persecuted? Then rejoice!

For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:17‭-‬18‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.4.17.NASB1995

persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.
2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:9‭-‬10‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/2co.4.9.NASB1995

And remember . . .

Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world. After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you.
🌹To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen.
