Understand The Will Of The Lord

Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

                                                                                                           (Eph 5:14-21 KJV)

Live life giving thanks to God for he has done marvelous things. Live life giving glory to God at all times and in all places!

Keep your head on straight. Be filled  with the Holy Spirit so that no matter how evil the days may be we might discern what is good and what is evil and do what is pleasing to God.

It is so easy to do our own will rather than the will of God. But, often the consequences are not so easy to endure. Be wise; wake up, and follow in the way that our Lord would have you go and you will thank and praise God for giving you life here in this world and in the kingdom of God that you inherited through the loving sacrifice of our Lord, Jesus the Christ.

Give thanks and praise giving all glory to God!

Not With Silver Or Gold

"You know that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without defect or blemish." 1 Peter 1:18-19

All too often; way too many people, have this mistaken idea that just because they have brought their tithes before the altar that they have "paid their dues" and will receive their places in the heavenly home.

Know this: your debt has been paid in full; but, not by you. You cannot earn or buy your place in the kingdom of God. There is only one offering that does that. That is the offering that Jesus made for us when he hung on that cross as a ransom for all.

Thanks be to God for the offering that was given for us in Jesus the Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

God's Peace - Pr. J
