in In His Steps
AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSEHOLD, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD. ( JOSHUA 24:15 *NIV )
As a child of GOD, we are to strive to become as much like CHRIST as we can possibly be. Remember that CHRIST came as a Servant, not as a Great King, and Serving others is an important way of becoming more like JESUS!
After all our Savior JESUS CHRIST said: “FOR EVEN THE SON OF MAN DID NOT COME TO BE SERVED BUT TO SERVE, AND TO GIVE HIS LIFE AS A RANSOM FOR MANY.” ( MARK 10:45 )
Therefore we should also, BE VERY CAREFUL TO KEEP THE COMMANDMENT AND THE LAW THAT MOSES THE SERVANT OF THE LORD GAVE YOU: TO HOLD FAST TO HIM AND TO SERVE HIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL. ( JOSHUA 22:5 )
Now, we may do that by sharing our love with each other, and by Serving our Heavenly Father as well. Some Serve GOD by teaching Sunday School, others by helping people who are in need! After all, there are many ways to Serve our Heavenly Father.
Therefore why not volunteer to help others when the need arises, SINCE YOU KNOW THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE AN INHERITANCE FROM THE LORD AS A REWARD. IT IS THE LORD CHRIST YOU ARE SERVING. Amen. ( COLOSSIANS 3:24 )
Bless the Lord, O my soul

BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL; AND FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS: WHO CROWNS YOU WITH LOVING KINDNESS AND TENDER MERCIES. PSALM 103:2 & 4 *NKJV
Indeed, we should never forget just how very much our Heavenly Father loves each one of us. Also how many ways HE proves that to us each day as well!
After all when we feel hopeless: THE LORD WILL GIVE STRENGTH TO HIS PEOPLE; THE LORD WILL BLESS HIS PEOPLE WITH PEACE. PSALM 29:11
When we can’t find the answers we want, or are in need of guidance, He will provide the way, for: THIS ALSO COMES FROM THE LORD OF HOSTS, WHO IS WONDERFUL IN COUNSEL AND EXCELLENT IN GUIDANCE. ISAIAH 28:29
Further, don’t forget the best benefit of all, for: THIS IS THE TESTIMONY: THAT GOD HAS GIVEN US ETERNAL LIFE, AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON. 1 JOHN 5:11
So in return you should: LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH. ( MARK 12:30 ) Because HE loves you, even more than that! Amen
Give us this day our daily bread.

Jesus taught us to say, GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD. MATTHEW 6:11 *NKJV
The word’s “Daily Bread” refer to our spiritual food, that being the Word of God. For, MAN DOES NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT COMES FROM THE MOUTH OF THE LORD. DEUTERONOMY 8:3
Now, did you ever notice when reading the Scriptures how the Word ministers to us in different ways depending on what our current situation is? Well this is because, THE WORD OF GOD IS LIVING AND POWERFUL, AND SHARPER THAN ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD. Thus we my boldly say, YOUR WORD IS A LAMP TO MY FEET AND A LIGHT TO MY PATH. ( HEBREWS 4:12 ) ( PSALM 119:105 )
Therefore: LET THE WORD OF CHRIST DWELL IN YOU RICHLY IN ALL WISDOM, TEACHING AND ADMONISHING ONE ANOTHER IN PSALMS AND HYMNS AND SPIRITUAL SONGS, SINGING WITH GRACE IN YOUR HEARTS TO THE LORD. COLOSSIANS 3:16
Now, you may consider this daily message a slice of toast for your spiritual breakfast each morning. Now you may enjoy even more by reading you Bible each day as well. However do not worry, you may enjoy several spiritual meals a day without gaining a single pound! So Bon Appetit, my Dear Friends!
In closing, It is my hope that these messages bring a ray of sunshine into your life each day! May God bless you, and have a wonderful day. Amen.
Have a wonderful day.
Let your speech always be with Grace

Jesus Said; “THERE IS NOTHING THAT ENTERS A MAN FROM THE OUTSIDE WHICH CAN DEFILE HIM; BUT THE THINGS WHICH COME OUT OF HIM, THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT DEFILE HIM.” MARK 7:15 *NKJV
As Christians we must be careful of the words we speak, and keep them soft and sweet, because sometimes we can defile ourselves with our words. For if we are not careful OUT OF THE SAME MOUTH PROCEED BLESSING AND CURSING. MY BRETHREN, THESE THINGS OUGHT NOT TO BE SO. JAMES 3:10
Therefore: LET YOUR SPEECH ALWAYS BE WITH GRACE, SEASONED WITH SALT, THAT YOU MAY KNOW HOW YOU OUGHT TO ANSWER EACH OTHER. COLOSSIANS 4:6
So Beloved, speak only words of kindness, and; SPEAK EVIL TO NO ONE, TO BE PEACEABLE, GENTLE, SHOWING ALL HUMILITY TO ALL MEN. TITUS 3:2
FINALLY, ALL OF YOU BE OF ONE MIND, HAVING COMPASSION FOR ONE ANOTHER; LOVE AS BROTHERS, BE TENDERHEARTED, BE COURTEOUS; NOT RETURNING EVIL FOR EVIL OR REVILING FOR REVILING, BUT ON THE CONTRARY BLESSING, KNOWING THAT YOU WERE CALLED TO THIS, THAT YOU MAY INHERIT A BLESSING. Amen. 1 PETER 3:8-9 )
Focus on Him only that can save you

WHEN THE DISCIPLES SAW HIM WALKING ON THE SEA THEY WERE TROUBLED, SAYING, IT IS A GHOST! AND THEY CRIED OUT FOR FEAR. BUT IMMEDIATELY JESUS SPOKE TO THEM, SAYING, BE OF GOOD CHEER! IT IS I; DO NOT BE AFRAID. SO HE SAID, COME. AND WHEN PETER HAD CAME DOWN OUT OF THE BOAT HE WALKED ON THE WATER TO GO TO JESUS. BUT HE SAW THAT THE WIND WAS BOISTEROUS, HE WAS AFRAID; AND BEGINNING TO SINK HE CRIED OUT SAYING “LORD SAVE ME.” MATTHEW 14:26,27,29 & 30 *NKJV
Now Peter began to sink because he took his eyes off of Jesus, and focused on the waves all around him. This was because his faith faltered. So what did Peter do but reach out to Jesus who was the only one that could save him! You see Peter forgot to WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT. 2 CORINTHIANS 5:7
Now we may not be walking on water, but when our troubles surround us, if we focus on them instead of placing our faith in Jesus, we will start to sink as well!
So, when you are facing difficulties and troubles surround you; keep your eyes on Jesus’ power rather then on your problems. Also when you are apprehensive about your troubles, and if you doubt Christ’s presence or His great ability to help; remember that He is the only one that can really help you as well!
Now tonight why not read this story. You will find it in The Book of Matthew 14:22-33, for wonderful reading it truly is!
Finally, WATCH, STAND FAST IN THE FAITH BE BRAVE, BE STRONG. LET ALL YOU DO BE DONE WITH LOVE. Amen. 1 CORINTHIANS 16:13
