I will never leave you nor forsake you. Joshua 1:5 The Holy Bible, The New International Version
Oh my Heavenly Love I ,with great glee, love to praise You in the good times.
In the difficult times I look forward to understanding what You are teaching me in them and thank You for them.
It is in reflecting back on Your guidance and protection during the previous crisis which calms my heart, blesses me with assurance You are there now during the present hard times. This fills my heart with bubbling over songs of love, praise, gratitude and adoration for my most precious Heavenly Love.
In the name of He who sang songs of praise to You on the night before His crucifixion, Jesus Christ I exalt You. Amen
May love be in your life, may hope be in your heart and may peace be in your every day walk with Christ.Joseph a son of Jehovah

Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.” Matthew 19:26 The Holy Bible The New Living Translation
Oh my awesome majestic King, You constantly amaze me with Your supreme prowess.
There have been countless situations where I am at wits end and know not where to turn nor what to do in oh so many difficult circumstances in my service unto You.
Then, I upon my knees, with rivers of tears streaming down my weary cheeks in desperation I call out to You for Your gracious Divine providence.
Then, You compassionately softly answer my prayer, You extinguish the searing sun of frustration boiling in my brain. You either take control of the situation and bring about solutions to these contentious issues or situations or, You guide me on how to resolve them myself. Sometimes, You help me with the resolution or sometimes You have trust in my competency and allow me to resolve them myself when You have kindly supplied me with the wisdom and tools needed for victory.
No matter which method You use my Love, I know Your gentle but firm hand extinguishes the scorching flames with in my mind and replaces them with soft gentle assurance that the situation is under Your control and because You love me, it will always work out for my good.
I thank You in the name of He who always took good care of those under His care (His disciples), Jesus Christ. Amen
Christ blesses us with love, peace and joy. May you be blessed with many opportunities to share these with others today. Joseph a son of Jehovah
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 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
In our walk with Jehovah there is constant fear. That is because Jehovah is constantly calling us to step out into the known and trust in His guidance and provision.
From personal experience it can not be fearful but down right terrifying.
He always calls us out in baby steps in the beginning of our walk with Him and each time we listen and obey we see His providence and then He asks us to take bigger steps as we mature in our relationship with Him. When you are obedient unto Him, you will be amazed at the incredible things He will accomplish in your life and through your life.
Even for us that have walked with Him for a long time there are still times of fear in listening to and obeying Him. The thing is though, that the more you step out into the unknown in obedience, the more you learn to trust and have confidence in Him. In reflection in our walk with Him we will be in constant awe and admiration for Him for succeeding in doing so many impossible feats in our lives and what He has done through our lives .
“At times all of us experience fear. But don’t allow fear to keep you from being used by God. He has kept you thus far; trust Him for the rest of the way.” — Woodroll Kroll
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Immanuel (God is with us) for benefiting me with Your Holy presence throughout my life. May my confidence in You and the rest of the trinity grow stronger every day. I exalt Thee in the name of He who encourages me constantly Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you are right in doing so, for that is whoI am.John 13:13 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
Many in the Christian community love to chant that Christ is their Savior (which He is) and their best Friend (which He is) but how many talk about how He is their Lord?
Because, in a Christians life, that is who He is, Lord over all. How many daily live by the motto:Christ first, others second, self last?
In todays world of me first, others second and who cares about Jesus a Christian is to be different.
Do you put Christ first in your finances?
Do you put Christ first in your time?
Do you put Christ first in your hobbies?
Do you put Christ first in your family?
If not, how can you expect Him to say: “Well done good and faithful servant” to you at Heavens Gate?
Or, do you think He will say: Get away from Me thou wicked one. You served other Gods now go live with them for an eternity in Hell.”
The Christian motto is: Not my will but Thy will be done my Lord. Show me where You want me to go. Teach me what You want me to do for You that I may bring glory and honour unto Thee and bring the little lost sheep unto Thee.” Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Hamelech ( Jesus my Lord King ) for blessing me with teaching this meek servant of Yours to always put You above all others, including myself. I relish every opportunity to place the best of everything You bless me with as a loving gift unto You my cherished King. In You majestic name I exalt Thee amen.
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love fill your heart today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
For the love of money [that is, the greedy desire for it and the willingness to gain it unethically] is a root of all sorts of evil.1 Timothy 6:10 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
I have seen many try to reach the end of the rainbow and destroy their lives and those around them in the process. Of course we all know there is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. By the same terms there is never enough money for the greedy, they always want more and they do not care who they hurt in the process. The price they pay is a cold heart unto others and being loved by none in return. That is a sad trade off for things which cannot love you back.
As well, there is also the arrogance that comes from success. There is the attitude of I am a self made man, giving no credit unto Jehovah for the blessings. That is arrogant, rude, disrespectful and down right stupid.
A reason for this is because just as Jehovah has blessed you, so too can He take away the blessings in the blink of an eye. I have seen many in soup kitchens that at one time lived in mansions.
Success has ruined more people than failure. It has been said that money is the most dangerous thing God can put into your trust.
Of the two, I choose Christ’s love over the love of dead material things which cannot love back. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Heseh (God is love) incredible blessing of sharing Your Divine love with me. This is indeed the greatest treasure of all. I exalt Thee in the name of He who emulated Your love for us while He walked amongst us Jesus Christ. Amen.
May Gods sunshine always bless you with brightening your day with His love, joy and peace. Joseph a son of Jehovah
‘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].’ “Indeed, all those who are angry with you will be put to shame and humiliated; Those who strive against you will be as nothing and will perish. Isaiah 41:10-11 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
When you experience Jehovah calling you out into the unknown do not be afraid. This of course is easier said then done.
For me I used to call out and say as the man said to Jesus: “ I believe, help me in my unbelief.” In essence he was saying I know You can do it but there are still doubts, please help me conquer my doubts.” There is nothing wrong with that. It is being perfectly honest with Jehovah which is what He desires of us.
Of course the longer we walk into the unknown with our Master the more trust we have in Him.
Do you notice how it says to take hold of His right hand?
The right hand signified supreme authority, Divine blessing, strength, justice and power.
So Jehovah is informing you to freely and confidently call upon His right hand to deliver Divine justice while abundantly pouring out His majestic strength and power into your spirit to conquer any wicked ones that stupidly attack one who belongs to the Supreme King. Of course we see the results at the final passage and it will not be pleasant to your attackers.
Prayer: Thank youJehovah Helech ‘Olam (The Lord our King Forever) for blessing this humble child of Your with Your limitless strength, provisions, justice, provisions and wisdom while following the path You have chosen for me to take to the Heavenly home You have prepared for me to take. I exalt You in the name of He who depended upon Your Divine strength to walk all the way to the cross for me Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
Let your character [your moral essence, your inner nature] be free from the love of money [shun greed—be financially ethical], being content with what you have; for He has said, “I will never [under any circumstances] desert you [nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless], nor will I forsakeorlet you downorrelax My hold on you [assuredly not]!” Hebrews 13:5 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
Are you calling Jehovah a liar?
Notice how He said for He will NEVER desert us nor forsake us. . That is a direct promise from Him unto us.
To forsake us means turn away from entirely. That is like saying you turn your back on someone. Jehovah will never turn His back on you as long as you never turn your back on Him. He will see your daily needs and supply you with them. Sometimes He will abundantly, sometimes frugally but always supply your daily needs.
If you turn your back on Him and refuse to obey Him then He most certainly will turn His back on you ( read about it in the Old Testament before the Israelites and Judeans were destroyed by the Chaldeans and Babylonians ).
It is not that Jehovah walks away from you but that you have walked away and turned your back on Him. Joseph son of Jehovah
To desert us means to leave usually without intent to return. That means to walk away from someone.
As long as you do not walk away from Jehovah, He will not walk away from you. He will never walk away from you when you are experiencing difficulties.
When you doubt your circumstances outcome you doubt that He will provide for you. That is calling Him a liar.
Notice how we are commanded to be content with what we have. That means we are not to be suckers and foolishly go out and get into debt ( which is becoming a slave by the way) buying things we do not need like a new car when there is nothing wrong with the old one, or buying a house you cannot afford or buying a new mobile phone just because it has some new gadget this year when there is nothing wrong with the old one. These things are a form of gluttony and pride. Both of them are disgusting unto Jehovah.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Emunah (God is faithful) for always being faithful unto Your word to this loved child of Yours. I take great comfort and strength in Your Holy Word. I praise you in the name of the greatest Word of truth Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
Do not cast me off nor send me away in the time of old age;do not abandon me when my strength fails and I am weak. Psalm 71:9 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
Have you ever heard the old saying: “Old age has crept up on me.”
It has not crept up on me. It has come with numerous calling cards. I was reflecting upon this recently. I still go for long walks but now find there is a need for frequent stops for rest. Working in the garden all day doing heavy manual chores is a thing of the past. Even volunteering has taught me old age has not come a knocking but is already in my house ( my body). I used to be able to walk all day in the seniors home going from living area to living area. Now my knees will not take it. Working for Habitat for Humanity is challenging. I used to work very vigorously for ten hours straight in very difficult circumstances being a tree planter with no breaks but now there is a need frequent rests while doing things that were a breeze just a few short years ago.
“I thought growing older would take longer.” Unknown
The upside of it of course is the deeper wisdom Jehovah has blessed me with all these years. I love sharing it with the younger ones ( that are willing to listen).
Now there is less confidence in my abilities and complete confidence in Jehovahs unending abilities to take care of me.
There is so much less stress now. Now I can say with complete confidence that I know Jehovah will never desert me nor leave me.
We spend more time walking together and talking together ( no that is no senility it is a very real presence and conversation) which is deeply cherished.
So for all of you old fogies that despair of getting old I say I revel it my aging because it is so sweet, indeed, even Divine.
And, the most cherished of all, is having faith that there really is a heavenly home waiting for me where there is no such thing as an old dilapidated body but an awesome one which will be regenerated by my loving Heavenly Father.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Emunah (God is faithful) that You are faithful unto Your Divine vows to care for me in my old age. I exalt You in the name of my Faithful King whom shall greet me to the Heavenly Home He has faithfully promised awaits me upon my departure from this world Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
Once more Jesus addressed the crowd. He said, “I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” John 8:12 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
Every night for the past few weeks when I wake up during the night there is a light that shines through the window onto me. This verse always comes to my mind.
It is the Holy Spirit confirming unto me that as a Christian I am walking in Christs Divine light in every aspect of my life. It is like second nature unto me.
When ever there comes a crisis the first thing is to automatically go to Christ in prayer and then meditate upon His Divine word. The Holy Spirit faithfully guides me to verses and their meaning which directs me to the proper manner in which to handle the situation. Whenever there is something required in my life a decision to be made the first priority to go to Christ in prayer.
Again The Holy Spirit faithfully guides me to verses and their meaning which directs me to the proper manner in which to handle the situation.
Whenever there is trouble coming my way the first priority to go to Christ in prayer.
Again The Holy Spirit faithfully guides me to verses and their meaning which directs me to the proper manner in which to handle the situation.
In every aspect of my life this process is repeated. Jesus never fails me. He always answers my prayer and guides me to the successful victory through every situation in my life like a lighthouse beam that guides a ship through treacherous waters.
Walking in the light prevents many treacherous pit falls in the darkness that surrounds every Christian. Joseph son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah ‘Ori (the Lord is my Light) for being the wonderful light in my life. I praise You in the name of He who is the light of life Jesus Christ. Amen
May the gentle assurance of Jesus’ sweet love encompass you today and every day.
