BLESS

We ask the Lord to bless us and He has.  We are blessed in Jesus Christ, the Savior of mankind.  His Word to us is whosoever will may come.  If you don’t know Jesus simply ask and He will come to You.  Seek the Lord while He may be found.  Jesus is Lord.

The Lord takes care of His children-He is a shield around them as they face the chaos and pain of daily life.  Our Lord is a saving Lord and He loves His children.  

01/26          Psalm 2:10-12 

Now then, you kings, act wisely! Be warned, you rulers of the earth!  11 Serve the LORD with reverent fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12 Submit to God’s royal son, or he will become angry, and you will be destroyed in the midst of all your activities— for his anger flares up in an instant.

HE

01/24          Psalm 2:5-7 

Then in anger he rebukes them, terrifying them with his fierce fury. 6 For the Lord declares, “I have placed my chosen king on the throne in Jerusalem, on my holy mountain.”  7 The king proclaims the LORD ’s decree: “The LORD said to me, ‘You are my son. Today I have become your Father. 

CHOICE

We can choose Jesus, by faith, accept His free gift of salvation and become part of God’s family.  If we don’t choose Him we are not part of His family.  The result is enmity with God.  Do you really want to be at war with God?  Choose Him.  

01/23          Psalm 2:4 

But the one who rules in heaven laughs. The Lord scoffs at them. 

FREEDOM

The Lord is the only true God.  When He sees us run after evil and surrender our life to the pursuit of self, He knows that our end is destruction.  He is truth and power unto eternity.  The victory has been won in Jesus.  Follow Jesus.  He is Lord.  

01/22          Psalm 2:1-3 

Why are the nations so angry? Why do they waste their time with futile plans?  2 The kings of the earth prepare for battle; the rulers plot together against the LORD and against his anointed one. 3 “Let us break their chains,” they cry, “and free ourselves from slavery to God.” 

WICKED

The wicked stand against God.  When we bend the knee to God we discover freedom in Jesus Christ, He breaks the chains of bondage to sin.  Self-leadership when we are against God results in our finite disappointment.  When we surrender our-self in bondage to Jesus we have infinite hope.  Choose Jesus for He is the way, the truth and the life.  Jesus is Lord.  

01/21          Psalm 1:6

PATH

We choose the path we will walk in life.  Listen to Jesus and follow Him.  There is no other way to the Father but in Jesus Christ.  

01/20          Psalm 1:4-5 

But not the wicked! They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.  5 They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly. 

ALONE
The wicked will traverse the days of their lives alone without God and without any help in the hour of difficulty.  Death will be ominous and there journey will end in perdition.  Seek the Lord when He might be found.
