I work willingly at whatever I do, as though I am working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give me an inheritance as my reward, and that the Master I am serving is Christ. Colossians 3:23-24 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Today I commit everything I do into the Lords hands. That He will guide me on where and how to serve Him. That He will bless me with the tools to succeed. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Please Holy Spirit always remind me the one I am serving is Jesus not man. I honestly request this in the name of the King I dedicate my life to serving, Jesus Christ. Amen
May you have a grateful heart towards He who has given so much to you. indeovi vas ( may you live with Jesus in Latin )
Seleh- stop and think about it.

Yes we all go through that experience of fear no matter how long we have walked with Christ.
But He will calm our fears by reminding us of how He walked through difficult and dangerous times before, He will send a brother or sister to encourage us with their reflections on how Jesus walked through the tough and dangerous times with them and or He will assure us through Bible verses.

Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father . James 1:17 The Holy Bible The New Living Translation
Today as I was bicycling five miles to the vets to get our cat his medicine the pedal fell of the bike a mile from the hospital.
At first I was not too impressed until The Holy Spirit spoke to me and encouraged me to walk the bike home along at trail.
The weather was fantastic, the trail quiet and sitting on a bench I shared a wonderful time being in communion with Poppa.
Oh and a added benefit was that when I asked the vet how much the medicine cost I thought she said it was $50. When I got there the receptionist informed me it was only $ 15.
Mom was scheduled to have a doctors appointment tomorrow.
The problem is that it is supposed to rain all day and she gets around on a scooter. To go with a cab would cost almost $ 20. She talked with the nurse and a patient had cancelled so she got the appointment today with good weather.
Wow, what a good day this has been.
Oh, and the pedal is easy to put a new one on.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah ELOHIM YAKOL (God, the Most Able 2 Corinthians 9:8 ) for turning what appears to be a disaster into a blessing. I praise You in the name of my greatest blessing Jesus Christ. Amen

Salvation is entirely apart from any self-help. We are not saved by imitation of the crucifixion or by Christ’s example, but as Luther concluded, “that high crucifying whereby sin, the devil, and death, are crucified in Christ and not in me.”
The Bible says, “The soul that sins will surely die.” Christ died that we may live. He paid our debt to the righteousness of God. Two thousand years ago Christ paid a moral debt that belonged to you and me. His death secured our freedom from the debt and stamped the receipt “paid in full.” His death released us from all obligation to pay our spiritual debt.
The death of Christ is a historical fact at a time and place, but Christ crucified is also an eternal fact touching all time with equal nearness. The crucifixion of Christ is an ever-present reality in the mind and heart of God. Our reconciliation to God depends entirely upon that central fact of the ages.
By faith we lay our hands upon the head of the Lamb of God who was slain for our sins. In the sacrificial system of the Jewish tabernacle, the person offering the sacrifice laid his hands upon the head of the offering and declared by identification his sins upon that offering. The confessing Christian by faith lays his hand upon the head of God’s perfect sacrifice on his behalf. There is a solemn unity in the suffering of Christ and the believer. Christ made full atonement for the believing sinner. His death for the believer is intensely personal.
There is such an identification that the apostle Paul can say in Romans 6:6, “knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, that our body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.”
Not only did Christ die that we might live, but in a very real sense He died that we might die. “In one death for all, then all die.”
This is all true of us and we accept it by faith. Christ died for us. He bore our sins and paid our penalty. Because of our identity with Him through faith, we have been “crucified with Christ.” My soul says let me hear that Christ died in the stead of sinners, of whom I am chief; that He was forsaken of God, during these fearful agonies, because He had taken my place. On His cross He paid the penalty of my guilt. Let me hear the message that His blood cleanses from all sin, and that I may now appear before the bar of God, not only pardoned, but declared acquitted. I was in effect crucified on Calvary, and He will in effect stand before the throne in my person.
Because of my vital union with Christ, I can declare: His the penalty, mine the salvation; His the shame, mine the glory; His the thorns, mine the crown; His the merit, mine the reward.
May you have a grateful heart towards He who has given so much to you.

Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ Matthew 22:37 The Holy Bible, The New Living Testament
The whole Christian life is best summed up as a loving relationship with Jehovah, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
To accomplish this everything that stands between them and us must be crucified. I say crucified because many times it will be the most painful experience of your life to give up many things that stand between you and Christ.
My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20 The Holy Bible, The New Living Testament
To accomplish this we must always be obedient unto The Holy Spirits guidance in every aspect of our lives.
But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything John 14:26 The Holy Bible, The New Living Testament
Then and only then we will be blessed with the most awesome love affair there could ever be both now and for eternity. I am with you always Matthew 28:20 The Holy Bible, The New Living Testament
Being a Christian is not living according to a creed nor a religion but in walking daily with Christ. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah ‘Immeku (The Lord Is With You Judges 6:12 ) for blessing me with The Holy Spirit to guide my steps through out the day. Thank you for the most precious gift, a loving relationship with You, Jesus and The Holy Spirit. I praise You in the name of my big brother whom I adore, Jesus Christ. Amen
May you have a grateful heart towards He who has given so much to you.

“I am inwardly fashioned for faith, not for fear. Fear is not my native land; faith is. I am so made that worry and anxiety are sand in the machinery of life; faith is the oil. I live better by faith and confidence than by fear, doubt, and anxiety. In anxiety and worry, my being is gasping for breath–these are not my native air. But in faith and confidence, I breathe freely–these are my native air.” Stanley Jones
