Kindness, Justice And Righteousness

Jeremiah 9:24

But let him who boasts boast about this: That he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on Earth, for in these I delight, declares the Lord.

Kindness. Justice. Righteousness.

O my Father, teach me how to be Jesus to others, in practicing kindness, justice and righteousness in all my relationships with my family and friends and others.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

Whoever Is Wise

Psalm 107:43

Whoever is wise, let him heed these things and consider the great love of the Lord.

O my Father, always remind me of "these things;" how You have satisfied my thirstiness and filled my hunger with good things (v. 9); how You have brought me out of darkness and broke away my chains (v. 14); how You have saved me from my distress, healed me and rescued me from the grave (vs. 19-20). Help me continually to tell of Your works with songs of joy!

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

Planting For The Kingdom

Mark 4:26-29

This is what the Kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. All by itself the soil produces grain--first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.

O my Father, teach me how to plant my words, my dollars, my works into the proper fields that will grow these seeds, then at the proper harvest time, teach me to harvest the crop. Help me, Father, to know what to do, and then to do it.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

Who Is Jesus?

John 5:26-27

For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself. And He has given Him authority to judge because He is the Son of Man.

God the Father "has life in Himself," that is, is self-existent; and He has given Jesus to also "have life in Himself," self-existent, as God. So Jesus is as much God as God the Father is God. This is beyond my understanding, but I believe it to be so. And the Father has given Jesus all "authority to judge because He is the Son of Man;" Jesus is also just as human as you and I. He lived a whole life as a human being, always making the right choices and obeying. And He purchased us all with His precious Blood; so is our legal and righteous Judge.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

Created For Good Works

Ephesians 2:10

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

God didn't just plan out our lives, He also prepared the way for us, to be able to do the good works He created us to do. He made each one of us to be different from everyone else, specially suited to do the things He intends for us to accomplish. He wants us to be His hands and feet, and He has prepared the way for each of us to do the specific things no one else can do, so that His purposes will be accomplished according to His plans, in His ways and in His time, to bring Him all the glory; and to bring in His kingdom.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

God's Laws

Psalm 19:14

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

O my Father, thank you for giving us Your Word, our Bible, written for our learning and benefit, and Your glory. Father, You have chosen to reveal Yourself to us so that we can know You. Help me to learn ever more of You, Your ways and Your will for me and all You have made. You formed the whole universe and set forth all the laws that govern it. You have formed this Earth to be our home while we're here, and set the laws to govern it. And You have formed us to live with You forever, and Your laws for us are righteous and sweet.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

Detestable Things

Deuteronomy 12:31

You must not worship the Lord your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the Lord hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.

O my Father, in America today, we are, in our society, doing all the kinds of detestable things the Lord says He hates, and many even in the churches are doing and approving these perversions. Christians are being harassed and put down for standing openly to preserve God's standards, because the world doesn't understand God's ways, and feels condemned in the light of the Truth. And our evil government is trying to destroy our prosperity so that all nations will be equal. Please, Father, get hold of those who are leading us astray and turn them around and teach them Your ways. If they will not, please remove them and replace them with Your children who will lead us back to our simple Constitution to restore Your righteousness here before the end.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
