My Councelor

I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night, my heart instructs me. –Psalm 16:7

There is a time when we can talk with God undisturbed.In the stillness of the night, Jesus communes with His children. I know from personal experiences.
It is then when in the quietness of night, He gets our attention and can tell me things.

So take heart, Jesus longs to counsel with you. At night when you can’t sleep, try talking to the shepherd. He is waiting to get in touch with His children.

Tell Him all your problems, Tell Him all your concerns. He is listening and will talk to you. Take time to listen and hear His voice.

I will praise the Lord. He talks to me and tells me things I need to know. My heart instructs me.

Discouraged Little Ones

Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.-Colossians 3:21

We must be very careful not to irritate or tease our children, lest they become discouraged. They need no exta and unnecessary pain and sorrow added to their life. We should take special care and not break their spirits. Ephesians 6:4 says: And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

-Proverbs 13:24 -15:1,18

Echo Of Love

As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.Luke 3:4
 Prepare for Me and walk straight paths. Do you hear God’s voice calling from the wilderness of life? The mountainous way of life can be rugged and long, but His way is straight and narrow. This King of Glory is marching your way today.Hear the voice calling who so ever will. Open wide the gate and invite Him to enter
 
A voice is calling, “Clear the way for the LORD in the wilderness; Make smooth in the desert a highway for our God. Isaiah 40:3

God’s Word Is…

God’s Word Is…
Written for our instruction

For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. (Romans 15:4)

Intended for the use of all people

But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: -(Romans 16:26)

Nothing to be taken from, or added to

Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. -(Deuteronomy 4:2; 12:32)

What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. -Deuteronomy 12, verse 32
One portion of, to be compared with another

   13: Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. -(1 Corinthians 2:13)

Vessels of Gold

And all king Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver: it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon. – 1 Kings 10: 21

Solomon had a great kingdom and increased his wealth. Silver was nothing unusual in his surroundings. That is the way the nature of worldly wealth is.  Plenty of it makes it the less valuable. Then much more should the enjoyment of spiritual riches lessen our esteem of all earthly possessions.
 1Kings 10:20 Twelve lions were standing there on the six steps on the one side and on the other; nothing like it was made for any other kingdom.
1 Kings 10:22 For the king had at sea the ships of Tarshish with the ships of Hiram; once every three years the ships of Tarshish came bringing gold and silver, ivory and apes and peacocks.
In Solomon’s greatness, we see the performance of God’s promise. It should encourage us to seek first the righteousness of God’s kingdom. He has great riches and pleasures awaiting for us.
Solomon having tasted all earthly enjoyments, wrote a book, to show the vanity of all worldly things, the vexation of spirit that attends them, and the folly of setting our hearts upon them.  He recommends serious godliness,  which will make us happy that all the wealth and power he was master of, and, through the grace of God, it is within our reach. If gold in abundance, would make silver seem so despicable, shall not wisdom and grace, and the foretastes of heaven, make gold seem much more so?

Beatitudes

The beatitudes speak volumns for us all. Take a look at God’s Word.

Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed [are] they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed [are] they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed [are] the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Matthew 5:3-12

The Light

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. -Psalm 119:105

A light that shines in darkness. The light illuminates and reveals.
God’s Word is a lamp, a light that illuminates the darkness. If a person walks through the woods at night, he is well served to have a flashlight with him to shine it on the ground in front of him so that his feet do not trip over a snag in the path, or his shins do not encounter a boulder or fallen log. This is the way God’s light shines on our path.

Born Again

You must be born again

It is no wonder then that Jesus declared that each person must be born again of the Spirit of God in order to be translated from the realm of darkness, deception and death into the kingdom of God.

Joh 3:3  Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Joh 3:4  Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
Joh 3:5  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Joh 3:6  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Joh 3:7  Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
 <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him
 should not perish,
 but have everlasting life.

His Word Sent Forth

This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. -Deuteronomy 30:19-20

I Kings 8:56
Praise be to the LORD, who has given rest to his people Israel just as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises he gave through his servant Moses.

Psalm 91:16
With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation.

Psalm 103:3
Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits–who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases.

Psalm 107:20
He sent forth his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.
