Tomorrow!!! 7/7/24
Philippians 4:19 (KJV)
19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Greetings from HOT and HUMID GA!!!!!! “They” say we will reach over 100 degrees heat index AGAIN today. God be with those who have to work in this heat!!!!
It has been a eventful two weeks since I posted here. I have been sick, (possibly ANOTHER kidney stone) and I celebrated my birthday with a visit to Trion, Ga. I was able to spend the night with my beloved friend in Cedartown AND visit my son Joshua for the first time in FIVE years on my birthday, June 30.
My beloved friend Bill Lyman, Sr. also passed away during this period and a special SHOUT OUT to the grieving family.
Philippians 4:19 (KJV)
19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Even after ALL these years of following and serving Christ Jesus I AGAIN find myself AMAZED at God's CONTINUES provision. Nothing special or nothing MIRACULOUS has occurred-just AGAIN God allowing me to pay my bills!
Psalm 103:1-5 (KJV)
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Full disclosure-I AM A TITHER!! I have TITHED ALL my income for over 45 years-as far back as I can remember.
TITHING is something, I believe, that cannot be taught-IT MUST BE CAUGHT.
This message today is NOT about TITHING nor is my intent to PREACH tithing to anyone. I merely state my belief and everybody can “work out your own salvation with fear (respect) and trembling.”
Philippians 2:12 (KJV)
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
It is my experience to have seen and experienced the TRUTH of Jesus' PROMISE:
Luke 6:38 (KJV)
38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
MANY, MANY, MANY times I have EXPERIENCED this in both my personal life and Church finance. God will speak to me in that “still, small Voice” to GIVE to someone or some ministry and then God will GIVE back to me or this ministry MUCH more than given!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I could site COUNTLESS. COUNTLESS instances where God showed up and showed out!!!! Times when I “thought” I was gonna' lose my house, not afford groceries, been sick with fear of never being well again..............................
Then there is that age and OLD question too often asked of us:
Doug, (fill in your name here)..................................
WHATAYAGONNA DO IF..............................................
I have the answer for YOU here today:
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.
Brothers and sisters, THERE IS NO OTHER ANSWER FOR.ABOUT TOMORROW!!
God WILL NOT and DOES NOT give us the answer for tomorrow today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deuteronomy 33:25 (KJV)
25 Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.
Can YOU believe this???
Deuteronomy 29:5 (KJV)
5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.
For FORTY YEARS they wandered in the wilderness-NO Amazon Prime, no Walmart, no shopping centers or gardens, wells with water, or clothing stores...................
Deuteronomy 29:5 (KJV)
5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.
Yes, they griped and grumbled!!!! It may not have been lobster for dinner-perhaps beenie-weenies????- and maybe not the latest fashion or luxurious accommodations....
BUT..................
Philippians 4:19 (KJV)
19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
I may never be able to move to my desire of a beach front existance. In fact, I may never even get to go to the beach again????
Again, I simply state the TRUTH- THIS WORLD IS NOT MY HOME OR MY FINAL DESTINATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MY treasure lies not in this world:
Matthew 6:19-21 (KJV)
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????????
Should not EACJH of us heed God's Word:
Hebrews 13:5 (KJV)
5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
1 Timothy 6:6-8 (KJV)
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
I SMILE and close with Solomon's wise Words:
Ecclesiastes 2:16 (KJV)
16 For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.
“AND HOW DIETH THE WISE MAN....................
AS A FOOL!!!!!”
YA CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ENJOY TODAY!! WORRY NOT ABOUT TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
