Consider Job and all He suffered. If we compared any of our trials to his, are we even close? Then think of our Lord, The Christ, Jesus, can you feel the burn or pain? To be honest, I don’t want to. So, I encourage you today. Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice.

Philippians 4:4-7
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

James 1:2-4
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,a whenever you face trials of many kinds,
3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

Do you always obey God? How easy is it to consistently obey God? If our obedience alone was the qualifier for our salvation and blessings, what would be our fate?

Praise God, our Lord Jesus sacrifice is our salvation and blessings and it is by grace and faith in our Lord Jesus that we are saved Hallelujaaaaaah!!!

Deuteronomy 6:25 and Ephesians 2:8-9

Deut. 6:25
25And if we are careful to obey all this law before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us, that will be our righteousness.”

Eph. 2:8-9
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—
9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

God brought us out to bring us in.

Out of the depravity and darkness of our sinful past to His glorious light and presence. In Him and in His presence is everything we need.

Deuteronomy 6:23-24
23 But he brought us out from there to bring us in and give us the land he promised on oath to our ancestors.
24 The Lord commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the Lord our God, so that we might always prosper and be kept alive, as is the case today.

Praying today that you all experience the power of God, His joy, peace, love, comfort and presence as we celebrate the birthday of our Lord and Savior Jesus The Christ. Who was born as a man child to save mankind and through His death and resurrection on the 3rd day has redeemed us from hell if we believe and accept Him as Lord.

Hallelujaaaaaah to our God and Father who loves us and by His lovingkindness wrapped our salvation in the Christ baby swaddling clothes and our escape from damnation in the grave clothes of the man Jesus our Lord.

Happy birthday Dearest Lord Jesus, our Everlasting Father and brother by adoption into the family of God. We love you and thank you for your birth, life, death and resurrection Amen!

Good day and blessings to you in this glorious season of the year.

We have run and toiled all year, but it is God who has delivered, saved, helped, satisfied, provided, elavated our spirits, crowned our accomplishments, kept us safe and secure, and has not slept a wink. Wooow My GOD!!!!

So today, and the rest of this year is dedicated to saying Thank you to My GOD and FATHER, to My LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS THE CHRIST, and to THE HOLY SPIRIT. For all you’ve done and for all that will soon manifest in JESUS name AMEN!!!

May God give us the strength to always do what is right and what pleases Him. In the end, it results into 2 things 1) Continuing our good fellowship with God and men and 2) The harvest of God’s promises in our lives

Deuteronomy 6:17-19
17 Be sure to keep the commands of the Lord your God and the stipulations and decrees he has given you.
18 Do what is right and good in the Lord’s sight, so that it may go well with you and you may go in and take over the good land the Lord promised on oath to your ancestors,
19 thrusting out all your enemies before you, as the Lord said.

Proverbs 16:7
7 When the Lord takes pleasure in anyone’s way,
he causes their enemies to make peace with them.

Let our serving and devotion be to God alone. Is it possible for us to unknowingly or habitually serve other things or people more than God? Will God still be jealous if we do?

Deuteronomy 6:13-15
13 Fear the Lord your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his name.
14 Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you;
15 for the Lord your God, who is among you, is a jealous God and his anger will burn against you, and he will destroy you from the face of the land.

I pray for us and may God help us never forget all the good and great things He has done for us. May we never allow the things God has blessed us with make us forget the giver of all good things. Don’t forget Him!

Deuteronomy 6:10-12
10 When the Lord your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build,
11 houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—then when you eat and are satisfied,
12 be careful that you do not forget the Lord, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

Our God and Father is not just our hiding place, He is our source.
The source of everything we are and have.
And it is in Him we live and move and have our being.
For every mountain He has moved, for the valley of the shadow of death He has walked us through,
That’s why we praise Him in the mornings, praise Him in the noon day and praise Him when the sun don’t shine. From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, the name of our Lord is to be praised.
His steadfast love is never ceasing, His mercies towards us never end and through our Lord Christ Jesus, He has made us sons and daughters.

He is our bestest Daddy forever, Amen!!!

You already know this but it’s worth remembering. How do we keep our children safe from the current madness and darkness in the world today? Same old and faithful answer

Deuteronomy 6:4-9
4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.
7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
9 Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates.
