BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT; BECAUSE YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL WALKS ABOUT LIKE A ROARING LION, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR. ( 1 PETER 5:8 *NKJV )
As you know we all face temptations from time to time. When we are tempted it is important to remember that they come from satan, and not God. For it is written: LET NO ONE SAY WHEN HE IS TEMPTED, ‘I AM TEMPTED BY GOD.’; FOR GOD CANNOT BE TEMPTED BY EVIL, NOR DOES HE HIMSELF TEMPT ANYONE. BUT EACH ONE IS TEMPTED WHEN HE IS DRAWN AWAY BY HIS OWN DESIRES AND ENTICED. ( JAMES 1:13-14 )
So when satan tries to tempt you SUBMIT TO GOD. RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU. ( JAMES 4:7 ) After all our Savior Jesus Christ gave us power over the devil when He said, I HAVE GIVEN YOU AUTHORITY TO TRAMPLE ON SERPENTS AND SCORPIONS, AND OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY, AND NOTHING SHALL BY ANY MEANS HURT YOU. ( LUKE 10:19 )
FINALLY MY BROTHERN, BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT. PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD, THAT YOU MAY BE ABLE TO STAND AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL. ( EPHESIANS 6:10-11 ) Then you will be able to take names and kick serpent, when satan tries to tempt you! Amen.
God’s Letter to You
Jul 7th
ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY INSPIRATION OF GOD, AND IS PROFITABLE FOR DOCTRINE, FOR REPROOF, FOR CORRECTION, FOR INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, THAT THE MAN OF GOD MAY BE COMPLETE, THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED FOR EVERY GOOD WORK. ( 2 TIMOTHY 3:16-17 *NKJV )
The Apostle Paul makes it clear in those verses that God is the author of the Bible! The Apostle Peter further stated that, NO PROPHECY OF SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION, FOR PROPHECY NEVER CAME BY THE WILL OF MAN, BUT HOLY MEN OF GOD SPOKE AS THEY WERE MOVED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. ( 2 PETER 1:20-21 ) After all only God Himself could have possibly written a book containing prophesies, which have all come true except those regarding the End Time!
Further, it ministers to us no matter what is happening in our lives. FOR THE WORD OF GOD IS LIVING AND POWERFUL, AND SHARPER THAN ANY TWO-EDGED SWORD. ( HEBREWS 4:12 ) Therefore why not try to read your Bible on a daily basis, for it is indeed God’s Letter to You!
So remember, IT IS WRITTEN, MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD. ( MATTHEW 4:4 ) Therefore, as JESUS taught us we are happy to say, GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD. ( MATTHEW 6:11 ) So why not enjoy a heaping helping by reading your Bible?
Amen.
Counting your blessings
Jul 1st
FOR YOU, O LORD, WILL BLESS THE RIGHTEOUS; WITH FAVOR. YOU WILL SURROUND HIM AS WITH A SHIELD. ( PSALM 5:12 *NKJV )
In this busy World of ours we often forget to stop and count all of our blessings. If we are not careful we may even take them for granted!
So why not stop and count your blessings today, for when you count them you will find that there are many indeed! Also you will find that counting your blessings is a great way to begin you day!
I will like to share a poem with you, and it is my hope that you will enjoy it!
Your Blessings Are So Many, Lord!
Your blessings are so many, Lord,
To count them one by one
Would take much longer than a day
That has just now begun!
You fill each day with miracles
From dawn to setting sun.
Each night You hear a million prayers
When day’s work is done.
You keep this old world spinning
As seasons come and go,
And each one is a masterpiece
That stets our hearts aglow.
You fill the earth with beauty, Lord,
With flowers, shrubs and trees,
And we marvel at Your rainbows
And butterflies and bees.
Your words still give us comfort
For Your promises are true.
Your blessings are so many, Lord,
In everything we do!
- Poet, Clay Harrison
Have a wonderful day, and: MAY GOD BE GRACIOUS TO YOU AND BLESS YOU AND MAKE HIS FACE SHINE UPON YOU. Amen. ( PSALM 67:1 )
