How blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! O Lord, they walk in the light of Your countenance. In Your name they rejoice all the day, And by Your righteousness they are exalted. For You are the glory of their strength, And by Your favor our horn is exalted.

Application of The Word

Jan8

“Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God.
Luke‬ ‭8:11‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.8.11.NASB1995

The seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity.
Luke‬ ‭8:14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/luk.8.14.NASB1995

🌹The word of God is of no use to you or anyone else unless it is applied to your life; unless it is practiced under the guidance of the Holy Spirit through prayer.

In the Presence of God

Aug14

The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous And His ears are open to their cry.
Psalms 34:15 NASB

God is available. God is just a prayer away. And yet. . .
It brings me to tears when I think what little time is spent in the presence of Almighty God. I’m as guilty as anyone.

Prayer is drawing close to God, experiencing His presence. Prayer is where we pour out our life to be filled with His life. Prayer is connecting with our Lord and with one another when we gather in corporate prayer. It is where we find the heart of God.

O send out Your light and Your truth, let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy hill And to Your dwelling places.
Psalms 43:3 NASB

You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.
Psalms 16:11 NASB

For the eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, And His ears attend to their prayer, But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
1 Peter 3:12 NASB

Surely the righteous will give thanks to Your name; The upright will dwell in Your presence.
Psalms 140:13 NASB

🌹For You make him most blessed forever; You make him joyful with gladness in Your presence.
Psalms 21:6 NASB

Slaughter or Deliverance?

Jul14

You have lived luxuriously on the earth and led a life of wanton pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have condemned and put to death the righteous man; he does not resist you. — James 5:5-6

All your possessions you hold dear are nothing when life is over. The wealth you count on, trust in, will be your demise. Trust in the Lord can save you but you choose to put trust in your wealth. (v.2-3) Your abundance of the pleasures and treasures of this world will be a witness against you. (v.3)

To succeed and be prosperous you choose to hurt, belittle, and cheat others. Your life focus is to be successful no matter the cost — even if it means condemning the righteous. Their cries will be a testimony against you! Your lustful desires of worldly pleasures and treasures for your own fulfillment with no regard for the poor and needy will be a testimony against you. Living life for yourself and for today only fattens you up for the day of slaughter.

Whom do you choose today? The world and it’s ways or Jesus Christ and His way?
Do you seek the things of this world or the things of heaven?
Do you reach out with love and charity to the world in need or are you just “all about me”?
Are you preparing for the slaughter or for the deliverance?

Continually seeking Him,
