Don't Look Now! 7/3/16
Luke 9:62 (KJV) 62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
Matthew 6:34 (KJV) 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
AND a possible HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the birth of my FIRST GREAT GRANDBABY!!??
Madison, (Wendy's daughter), is in labor as I type!
I actually slept ALL night last night, first arising at the LOVELY hour of 6 AM and then going back to sleep until 7:30 AM-PRAISE THE LORD!!
I don't know about you but I am TIRED of being a victim-a victim of this evil world!!!
I DESIRE to replace the IM with IO!!
VICTIM VS. VICTOR!!
Can I get an amen!!??
For those of you who have BEEN suffering and/or ARE suffering, claim with me:
Job 42:10 (KJV) 10 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
AND:
Isaiah 61:3 (KJV) 3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
I am MORE THAN READY to "see the goodness of the Lord IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING!!!!!!!!!!!"
Psalm 27:13 (KJV) 13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
As I enjoyed a rare lunch with a dear friend last week, I brought up a tidbit of the "NEWS?" that POLLUTES our ears and eyes daily!
You well know-the LIES and propaganda that spills forth from our internet and TV's daily.
The TALKING HEADS, the pundits, the politicians and yes, even our pulpits.
I remember this line form an OLD song:
"
EVERYBODY'S TALKING NOW-I CAN'T HEAR A WORD THEIR SAYING!"
The tidbit of "NEWS?" I referred to she immediately rebuked and cast aside, replying earnestly "I can't worry about that!!"
And she was right- "I CAN'T FIX IT" has become my most favorite reply lately!
"
I CAN'T FIX IT!!!"
And I cannot stop the future or change the past!!!
My one vote will matter little in the coming Presidential election nor will my opinion change many/ANY political views-no matter how bold print and/or enticing my Facebook posts.
All I/WE have is today-that is why today is called THE PRESENT!!!
CAN YOU SAY "HERE IN THE REAL WORLD!!??"
Which reminds of a PRESENT song I have learned to play/sing:
"
LET THE CHURCH SAY AMEN" by the late Andre Crouch.
The closing line says this about the WORD OF GOD:
"
YOU CAN'T CHANGE IT, REARRAINGE IT!
GOD SAID IT-JUST BELIEVE IT!!!"
Here is what God SAID versus ANY politician/pundit/talking head or preacher:
Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
EXPECTED-from
<H6960>
(qavah); literal a
cord
(as an
attachment
[compare
<H6961>
(qaveh)]); figurative
expectancy
:- expectation ([-ted]), hope, live, thing that I long for.
Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary.
Please note that GOD SAID He WOULD/WILL/IS going to/has/fixin to:
"
GIVE YOU AN EXPECTED/THING THAT I LONG FOR EXPECTED END!"
Paul exhorts us to:
Philippians 4:6 (KJV)
6
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
TODAY:
Philippians 4:8 (KJV)
8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things
are
honest, whatsoever things
are
just, whatsoever things
are
pure, whatsoever things
are
lovely, whatsoever things
are
of good report; if
there be
any virtue, and if
there be
any praise, think on these things.
"
THINK ON THESE THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
HAVE A GREAT DAY AND HAPPY INDEPENDANCE DAY!
GOD BLESS YOU!
