Walk On The Water With Me! 6/4/17
Hosea 6:3 (KJV)
3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
Psalm 111:10 (KJV)
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
Proverbs 9:10 (KJV)
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Proverbs 1:7 (KJV)
7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Like many of you, I watched in silent horror the event unfolding in England last night.
There is and was no respite from the carnage aptly portrayed in HD on every "news" outlet.
Proverbs 1:7 (KJV)
7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
A very wise person once said:
"
THE JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILES BEGINS WITH THE FIRST STEP!"
Hosea 6:3 (KJV)
3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
The ONLY way to find out the possible is to attempt the impossible!!!!
As Rod Stewart sang, "I wish I knew THEN what I know now-when I was younger."
Yes, "youth is wasted on the young!"
To quote another rock and roll band, The Moody Blues," who penned this truth:
"
The ain't nothing I can tell you that your won't find out for yourself!!"
AND, was it not The Marshall Tucker Band who wailed, "CAN'T YOU SEE????"
ENOUGH with the rock and rollers!!??
Doth not these wise Words of Solomon ring even more true today"
Proverbs 1:20-33 (KJV)
20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
Beloved, our SAFETY and SECURITY is found ONLY in the Lord!!!
Psalm 91:1 (KJV)
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Psalm 127:1 (KJV)
1
Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
TODAY, if your soul desires "SAFETY" and "quiet from the fear of evil,"
"
HEARKENETH" unto Him-The Lord Jesus Christ!!!!
As I close out today's message, the words from an OLD song I sang MANY times comes to my remembrance:
"
COME ON AND WALK ON THE WATER WITH ME-YOU WILL NOT FAIL!
STEP OUT IN FAITH AND THE WINDS WILL OBEY!
THE ONE WHO CALLS YOU IS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!
YOU CAN'T LOOK DOWN KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE LORD!
YOU WILL NOT FAIL-YOU WILL NOT FAIL!!!
GOD BLESS YOU!
