No Partiality

Jun30

But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you and personally drag you into court?
James 2:6 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.2.6.NASB1995

The righteous mighty One, shows no partiality to princes nor regards the rich above the poor, for they are all the work of His hands.
Job 34:17b,19 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/job.34.19.NASB1995

Do they not blaspheme the fair name by which you have been called?
James 2:7 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.2.6-7.NASB1995

We, the called of God, the righteous mighty One, need to stand strong. Let us follow God by not showing partiality. We, God’s beloved, should walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. Let us continue to build each other up into our most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keeping each other in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.
Colossians 1:10/Jude 1:20-21 NASB1995

🌹so that you would walk in a manner worthy of the God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.
Thessalonians 2:12 NASB1995

Hindering Unbelief

Jul8

And He (Jesus) did not do many miracles (works of power) there because of their unbelief.
Matthew 13:58 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.13.58.NASB1995

Do we hinder the work of God by our unbelief?
Do we believe He is able to do the impossible through us? In us? For us?

And Jesus said to him, “ ‘If You can?’ All things are possible to him who believes.”
Mark 9:23 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mrk.9.23.NASB1995

🌹Jesus *said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
John 11:40 NASB1995‬

Show Me Your Glory!

Jun2

Then Moses said, “I pray You, show me Your glory!”
Exodus 33:18 NASB

One of my all time favorite verses. Show me Your glory, Lord God! Moses saw a glimpse of God’s glory. I’m looking forward to the day when I will see the full glory of my Lord face to face.

But can we see God’s glory, a glimpse, today? In this day and age? I believe we can.

He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’ ” But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
John 7:38-39 NASB

The rivers of living water is the Holy Spirit working in the believer, the child of God. The work of the Holy Spirit through the believer allows the believer to see the glory of God.
God shows His glory through answered prayer, or the Sonshine in the midst of the storm, or the light of salvation in the eye of a new believer or the healing of  physical or emotional hurt. . . The list goes on. How long has it been since you saw the glory of God? When was the last time, if ever, did you pray to God asking, “Show me your glory”?

🌹“I pray You, show me Your glory!” Amen.

Seeing is Believing?

Nov12

“Let this Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe!” Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.  Mark 15:32 NASB

“He saved others; He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him.    Matthew 27:42 NASB

Isn’t it said that “Seeing is believing”? I’ll believe it when I see it.

Are people any different today?

Jesus’ ministry lasted 3 years and in all that time He revealed Himself. Do you think that His coming down from the cross would have changed their minds? It is by faith that we are saved through God’s grace.

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.  Hebrews 11:1 NASB

for we walk by faith, not by sight       2 Corinthians 5:7 NASB

🌹 How about you? How is your faith?

Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” John 11:40 NASB

What is Your Sacrifice?

Oct31

A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amount to a cent. Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury; for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on.” Mark 12:42‭-‬44 NASB/Luke 21:3-4 NASB

This woman parted with all she had. Her livelihood was placed on the altar. She gave all she had for the glory of God.

How could she do that? She trusted in God to be her Jehovah-jireh – the Lord will provide.

🌹 What are you willing to lay on the altar for the glory of God? This woman gave her all.

And He said to them, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not receive many times as much at this time and in the age to come, eternal life.” Luke 18:29‭-‬30 NASB
