Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are theundefiled (the upright, truly sincere, and blameless) in theway [oftherevealed will ofGod], who walk (order their conduct and conversation) in thelaw oftheLord (thewhole ofGod‘s revealed will).Psalm 119:1The Holy Bible Amplified Version
When I was a teenager I was driven crazy by my peers. One would be telling me to do this with my life, another would be telling me to do that with my life. There was so many voices I did not know what to do.
It was years later that Jehovah slowly began to reveal His intentions in my life. He did not reveal the whole plan to me, I think that is because I would not have believed it anyway. He took it one step at a time. When the first step was matured then the next was taken. Sometimes the steps were quick, sometimes they were slow.
Over the course of forty years it has been awesome what He has accomplished in me using this method.
I am sure He still has intentions for furthering my maturity and service unto Him.
Now I am free from the confusing and demanding direction given to me by others because of the knowledge that I am guided by the best Guidance Councillor there is.
“Let a man set his heart only on doing the will of God and he is instantly free. No one can hinder him.” — A. W. Tozer
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah El-Deah (God of knowledge) for blessing me that when I set my mind, body and spirit on doing Your will, I am not tossed about like a ship in a raging storm not knowing where to go or what to do to please those in the world. Thank you for blessing me with Your bright light to shine the path of life to take. I exalt You in the name of the light of the world Jesus Christ. Amen
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love fill your heart today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
On my morning walk today I went to the grocery store. I did not want to go because it is usually very busy but there was a prodding feeling to go. I was blessed that there was a nice roast on mark down and no line ups at the grocery store. Usually there is at least a twenty minute wait and I hate being in crowds.
From there I felt a prodding to go to the Farmers Market and was blessed that the lady that sells me organic honey had just two jars left which is exactly what I wanted to get. I forgot that I was out of honey until putting the jars away at home.
After that I walked to a discount store at the other end of town and was prodded into going in. I looked at some stores in the mall where the grocery store for a watch and could not find anything less than twenty dollars and refused to pay that much. At the discount store there was a really good one for two dollars in the sports section. While there there was a small but powerful light that can be used in the Tabernacle when it is dark to read and write, again for just two dollars.
Finally, during the last stretch of the five mile walk I stopped for a rest in the park. While resting on a bench these swans came and preformed a beautiful ballet for me while song birds were serenading them. Wow, that was so beautiful of a blessing.
Prayer; Thank you Jehovah (El Deah God of knowledge) for blessing me with the knowledge to go where You were prodding me to go. Being obedient unto You brought such wonderful blessings to me today.
Whatever is beautiful, whatever is meaningful, whatever brings you joy, may you be blessed with an abundance of it this every day this year.
Blessings in the park. Today I was blessed that the Lord encouraged me to take a insulated pad to volunteer at the park ( the ground is cold and damp right now so the pad kept me dry) as the Christmas decorations were taken down. My Love blessed me with inspiring me to bring my own tools and getting me to inform the volunteer coordinator I would be bringing my own tools and working solo (Many of the others like to stand around and talk. When I go, I go to work).
We were blessed with good weather today.
Today the Lord blessed me with Divine sense. Working with smokers there was an urge to ask for one I ( it has been about two weeks since having one). The Holy Spirit encouraged me that going this long it would be stupid to go back. I silently told satan to take a hike and the urge left to not return.
The coordinator complimented me that I got as much work done in one morning as the others did in four days (now you know why I prefer to work solo).
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah El Roi. (You are the God who sees ) for seeing into the future and preparing me for a productive day in helping out the local community. I praise You in the name of He who prepared His disciples to serve in their community Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed with Jehovahs guidance this day and every day.
But the wisdom from above is first pure [morally and spiritually undefiled], then peace-loving [courteous, considerate], gentle, reasonable [and willing to listen], full of compassion and good fruits. It is unwavering, without [self-righteous] hypocrisy [and self-serving guile].James 3:17 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
We Christians are all teachers to the dark world. We do not have to attend some university to become Christs teachers. We have to sit at the masters feet and listen to Him.
First He must teach us to be moral because without this we are no different than those stumbling to Hell in the darkness.
Then we must learn to be spiritually in harmony with our Beloved wise Teachers.
After that we must learn to be courteous (do not shove Christ down anyone’s throat. If they reject Him we must accept that.) We need to consider where they are in life without putting ourselves above them (one way some do this is by pitying others while feeling superior to them ). We must be patient and gentle with them (while being firm when necessary, do not allow anyone to walk all over you. Jesus never did so why should you?).
It is necessary to be reasonable with others while being uncompromising in Christs teachings. Sometimes they are not mature enough to understand what we are trying to teach them. Sometimes there is a cultural difference.
We must be compassionate with others because we all have our battle scars and battles we are enduring at the present. That does not mean we are to be a crutch for them but rather be someone they can pour out their hurt and anger to as we share the healing power of Christ with them.
This is not a week or month long endevour but one that will mean years of commitment towards them. It takes years for some fruit to be produced while at other time it only can take maybe a month.
I have heard many so called intellectually superiors discuss matters that leaves me looking at them and wondering what planet they are from. They are usually very arrogant and love to pump their egos up. They are some of the most pitiful creature ever encountered.
To receive Heavens tutorship from above you have to keep both feet planted firmly on the rock of Christ. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Praise You Jehovah Rabbi (God our Teacher) for being such a patient Teacher with this difficult student. Please bless me to reciprocate with those eager to learn about You as I reveal You to them.
Thank you for the never ending tutorship as You mold me to emulate the greatest teacher to ever bless this world, Your supreme astute Teacher Jesus Christ. I exalt The in the name of the greatest Teacher Jesus Christ. Amen
May Gods sunshine always bless you with brightening your day with His love, joy and peace. Joseph a son of Jehovah
“I will put My Spirit in you and you will come to life, and I will place you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and fulfilled it,” says the Lord.’” Ezekiel 37:14 Holy Bible, Amplified Version
One night while sleeping in the back yard in a tent I was awoken by a blue flame above my head. Thinking the house was on fire I frantically attempted to open the zipper on the tent to get mom out of the house. I was so upset I, at first, did not realize I was vainly attempting to find the zipper on the wrong side of the tent. When I did manage to finally open the tent door and rush outside, there was no flames at all. Confused I crawled back into the tent and promptly fell asleep.
When I woke up the next morning all of my finger tips were tingling, my heart felt as if it was going to burst and my head felt electrified. No, it was not a physical ailment that caused this, I am as strong as a horse.
During morning Bible reading this verse burned into my eyes.
There is concern about what will happen to me when mom passes on to the other side (I am an unpaid caregiver with no savings). Every morning I thank the Lord that even though I do not know what is going to happen, one thing for certain is that He will always take care of me.
In the four years of being a caregiver I have worked tirelessly fixing this place up by myself. The only help the rest of the family is, is when they help themselves to moms money every month. They never come down to help and only call when they want money.
One day after crying out to the Lord about the unfairness of it all, He directed me to go sit out on a trail with my Bible. He spent three hours with verse after verse educating me that the wicked shall lose their inheritance and the righteous shall inherit theirs. I kept on replying that I know my inheritance is in Heaven and that is all I want but it would be nice to have some help from the rest of the family in caring for mom. Finally I have taken the attitude that I get what can be done done and not stress out or work myself into exhaustion attempting to do all the work myself.
This verse seems to be His word pounding into my thick skull that all the work I have done is not for someone else (the wicked family) to profit from (because of the beautification of the property the house has increased in value, which I do not care about but they do because it means they get more money from the inheritance). I shall dwell upon this land in peace, love, joy and security because Jehovah says so and He never lies.
‘Do not fear [anything], for I am with you;Do not be afraid, for I am your God.I will strengthen you, be assured I will help you;I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation].’Isaiah 41:10 Holy Bible Amplified Version
“Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.Because He lives all fear is gone.Because I know, I KNOW, He holds the future,And life is worth the living just because He lives.”Bill & Gloria Gaither
For I have taken all this to heart, exploring and examining it all, how the righteous (those in right standing with God) and the wise and their deeds are in the hands of God. Ecclesiastes 9: 1Holy Bible Amplified Version
If you are serving the Lord and are concerned about anything I pray this article has blessed you with strength, confidence, peace and joy.
Prayer : Thank you Jehovah Jireh ( God provides ) for blessing me with Your Divine provision through out all of my life. Thank you for promising me a wonderful retirement plan which surpasses anything the world can offer. I exalt Thee in the name of He who will greet me in Your greatest retirement Home every conceived Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
Even a child is known by his deeds, Whether what he does is pure and right. Proverbs 20:11 Holy Bible Amplified Version
When I was a teacher sometimes the children would misbehave. When I went to punish them they pleaded not to be punished and promised not to be naughty again. I agreed not to punish them if they would behave. Not even five minutes later they would be little monsters again. When I reminded them of their promise they laughed in my face and refused to acknowledge their promise. That is when the hammer came down and they received worse punishment. That quickly put a permanent end to that unacceptable behavior.
They knew what they were doing was wrong.
Without discipline there is chaos. Joseph a son of Jehovah.
I see it so often today when children are delinquent and the liberal judges let them off. This is wrong. Let the punishment fit the crime otherwise they just get worse.
You can bet with the teenagers when they are terrible you can trace it back to their childhood and lack of discipline in the family and in the schools. Then when they become adults they foolishly believe they can do what ever they want and there is no retribution for their behavior.
Most times they are disrespectful on their own initiatives.
Do not tell me it is not their fault it is societies fault, I did not make them do it. Do not tell me it is because they are poor, some of the most respectful folks I have ever met were dirt poor, do not tell me it is the families fault, I have met many respectful families whose children are little monsters and a heavy burden on the parents.
It does not matter how good or bad parents raise their children it is the childrens choices in their lives and the decisions they make will come back to either bless them or curse them. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Please Jehovah Hashopet (The Lord is the supreme Judge) bless me to wisely teach the youth of today wisdom, integrity and righteous morals so as to avoid Your terrible judgement. I sincerely request this in the name of the Supreme Judge Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
If anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat. 2 Thessalonians 3:10 Holy Bible Amplified Version
I live in a farming community. When a boy it was understood that if you wanted to eat you had to work.
Today farmers bring in off shore workers because the welfare bums refuse to go out an do an honest days work. They believe they should be pampered and given everything with no effort on their own behalf. This goes down through generations. Yes they are bums.
Bums are described as a person who avoids work and sponges on others; loafer; idler. They avoid work like the plague, they are idle and always getting into trouble, usually with alcohol and drugs and yes they are parasites of society living off of others because we have to pay for their laziness with our taxes.
Instead of the liberals cry babying about how bad these dregs of society are why not force them to go out and earn their keep?
They do not appreciate help when given to them because they believe it is owed to them.
I know of many food banks and soup kitchens that have closed down because these bums demand money from the volunteers and threaten them if they do not give them money, in many instances the police were called. Finally they could not get any volunteers so it had to be closed down. Instead of using their free loading money (welfare) to buy food they go out and get tattoos and drugs and then cry because they have no food and expect us to feed them. I unfortunately see it all to frequently here.
Instead why not have churches support working families in their own church or of neighbors they know who are the working poor?
The flip side of the coin is these big corporations that are constantly cry babying (scamming) for money to help folks in the third world countries. The CEO’S make millions a year in salary and the feeble trickle of money that does go to the countries goes to corrupt government leaders. The other problem is that these NGO’s put the local businesses out of business.
Why not put money into investments to help the local folks in those countries start their own business?
The other one is for these big corporations asking for money to help cure disease or to help the local hospitals. Again the CEO’s make millions and why do we pay money for taxes if not to be used for health care?
Be generous but be wise in where you give. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Kal El (voice of God) for blessing me with speaking to me and guiding me to use the resources You provide me with to invest them wisely. I thank you in the name of He who is the wisest of all Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
God talks to us every day. Better share than keep it for your self. For His glory. Anything you read here or in general, confirm it and test it by reading Gods word, the Bible and pray
