Somebody Needs To Do This!!

"The Fear of the Lord Is the Key...."

"He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is the key this treasure."  (Isaiah 33:6, NIV)

Well, that is all you and I need.  Jesus, is our, "Foundation for your times," Jesus is, "a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge;.., and, "the fear of Jesus is the key to this treasure," and this, "treasure," is not a "plan," concept, etc.  He is a Person, The Person, the Living Triune God, only "available" to us in  our Glorious Lord Jesus Christ.

Father, in Jesus Name, Thank You so much that in Jesus Christ we see, hear, know, and have You.  Amen.

"....This Is For All Humanity."

"When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: fear God and keep His Commands, because this is for all humanity.  For God will bring every act to judgment, including every hidden thing, whether good or evil."  (Ecc. 12:13, 14--CSB)

I finished reading through the Book of Ecclesiastes yesterday.  If I may share a suggestion: I have a suspicion that many of the "spirituals" among us rarely read Ecclesiastes.  Do it.  The old "preacher," the one who penned Proverbs and the Song of Solomon, had a "heaven-come-to-earth" experience.  

There is a message here of Jesus, "The Word of God," which is most likely, rarely considered in worship gatherings, sermons, "prophetic utterances."  I know from experience that modern "evangelicalism" struggles with the content.  Even though you and I may resist the "raw" truth of the Words in Ecclesiastes, may you and I never forget that, "All Scripture is God-Breathed," and as Our Lord Jesus Christ continually reminds us, "The Words that I speak to you (all of Them) are spirit and they are life."

Father, in Jesus' Name, I thank you for ALL Your Words.  Amen.

"Birthing Person's Day"- Cannot Imagine What Comes Nest

"For the leaders of the earth belong to God; He is greatly exalted."  (Psalm 47:9b, CSB)

Now it's, "birthing person's day."  Yet our text rules.

Psalm 24 affirms our text, "The earth is the Lord's and everything in it.  Ponder this/Him, meditate on this/Him, and you will have a good day.  "Jesus Christ is Lord," says so much more than you and I can imagine.

Father, in Jesus' Name, I so thank You that, "....the leaders of the earth belong to [You]"!  Amen.
