Oh That it Might Be

I meditate on the blessed obedience and order of angels, without which no peace could be in heaven, and oh that it might be so on earth!

Because, He Gave Us The

God wants us to love and obey him with “everything we’ve got. Because, He gave us the most precious one He has, Jesus. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

The Care Giving Disciple

When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Matthew 9:36 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

Jesus see’s our elderly parents who are not quick on the draw anymore and has compassion on them. He sends us who are His disciples to go and care for them.

There are so many times we feel lost and confused, not knowing how to properly care for them.

Most people do not want to hear our problems and have no advice to give us. It is extremely frustrating.

That is why we need to unload our frustrations and anger on Jesus. His shoulders are big enough to take it.

Then when have exhausted ourselves, He gently assures us He loves us, cares for us and offers suggestions on how best to handle the situation.

It often is not easy to obey His instructions but it must be done for our own sanity as well as the best care for our parents.

Name your problems one by one with Jesus. He is in no hurry and wants you to unload on Him. He will not be offended by your anger, frustration and pain. Then, be still and listen to His soft, gentle loving voice as He comforts you, encourages you and heals you. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

This is not just for those caring for elderly ( most often abusive and ungrateful parents ) but those taking care of disabled wives and husbands, and of course those taking care of handicapped children.

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Machsi (Psalms 91:9 The LORD My Refuge)that when the stress and abuse is unbearable when caring for others I can always take refuge in Your loving, caring arms. I praise You in the name of He who comforted so many when He walked amongst them, 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.

And to Protect Me From It

I will obey God and trust Christ to defeat sin and evil in my own life and to protect me from it in the world around me. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

That is the Best Medicine

 I will lie down and sleep in peace. O Lord, You alone keep me safe. Psalms 4: 8 The Holy Bible The New Life Version

No matter what the stressful situation every time I take it to Poppa, He blesses me with assurance, comfort and peace. That is the best medicine to take. You do not need to see a psychiatrist or start popping poison called pharmaceutical pills which only get you addicted and breaks down your body so you have to take more poison. Yeah the pharma shareholders like it but your body sure does not.

Now of course the second part of the equation is that we must have faith and obey what Poppa instructs us to do.

So we will say you have gallstones and Poppa instructs you to cut back on your coffee.

Your reply is up yours.

Then you cry because you have gallstone.

Duh?

This morning, I prayed because my cat ( my comforter which is needed because of the challenge of being a live in care giver which is the most stressful thing I have ever done ) due to concerns he was still having elliptic seizure even though he has started taking medication. Because I love him there was a concern of putting him down because I do not want him to suffer.

I left the choice in Poppas loving hands and trusted Him while having rivers of tears flowing down my cheeks.

When I got on the internet later in the day, He guided me to a site that explained the medication much more in depth and that it would take a while for the medication to take effect. I greatly praised Him as now my heart beats with joy again.

The reason worriers die sooner than non-worriers is because we have peace of mind that can only come from trusting Jehovah in every aspect of our lives. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Jireth (Genesis 22:14 The LORD Shall Provide ) for blessing me with the medicine to help my buddy and the knowledge that everything will be alright and it will just take a while. I praise You in the name of He who raised Lazarus when the time was right, Jesus Christ, Amen

Seleh- stop and think about it.

Lessons Satan Taught Me

For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation

I have found satan constantly torments me when I am swimming laps.

I do three different types of strokes for fifteen minutes each.

He constantly torments me that I am too tiered, the time is too long, my body is too old to do these anymore. You almost did fifteen minutes why not quit now.

I persist in continuing and at the end feel pretty good about the accomplishment.

If satan constantly torments me in the pool, think of how much he torments each of us in our daily walk with Jesus and to just slack off a little bit here and there or not bother with this or that as Christ is directing us. We can put it off or quit early.

I do not believe The Holy Spirit will help us but that we must make the commitment ourselves to be obedient unto Christ rather than the world.

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Immeka (Judges 6:12 The LORD Is with You ) for blessing me with The Holy Spirit to encourage me to succeed while satan it tormenting me to surrender in defeat. I praise You in the name of He who defeated satan on the cross, Jesus Christ.

AmenSeleh- stop and think about it.

To Find Out If

The Bereans were eager to hear what Paul and Silas said and studied the Scriptures every day to find out if these things were true. Acts 17:11 The Holy Bible The New Life Version

If everybody behaved like the Bereans did, do you think we would have suffered through two years of the covid scam?

How many other scams and suffering could be prevented if men and women would stop being so lazy and take the time and energy to listen to the opposing side of a debate?

And of course if we all searched the scriptures every day and obeyed what The Holy Spirit is speaking to us how many of us would not fall for scams because Jehovah was warning us about them?

Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Immeka (Judges 6:12 The LORD Is with You ) for blessing me with the best tutor, The Holy Spirit to guide me to verses in Your Book of wisdom ( the Bible ) and explaining them to me in a easy manner for me to understand how to live by Gods Law which affects every aspect f my mental, physical, financial, and spiritual welfare. I praise You in the name of the best Rabbi, Jesus Christ. Amen

Seleh- stop and think about it.

The Surest Sign of a Fool.

Understanding and believing are not the same thing. Believing and not putting into practice is the surest sign of a fool. Joseph- Anthony a son of Jehovah
