It is my duty (which is an act of love) to be obedient and do as the Holy Spirit directs me to do in service to my Heavenly King, Jesus.
When feeling rejected or bitter, I am to stay focused on Jesus’ satisfaction and rewards not mans. I obey King Jesus and leave the results to Him.
It then becomes obvious that Jehovah, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and I have a deep loving relationship. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Helech ‘Olam (The Lord our King Forever) Ps10:16 for blessing me with the honour of serving such an awesome King as You and depending upon You and You alone for praise. It is in Your magnificent name I pray amen.
May you be blessed with abundant joy in your heart filled with love and your life overflowing with laughter every day this year.
If the godly give in to the wicked, it’s like polluting a fountain or muddying a spring. Proverbs 25:26 The Holy Bible, New Living Translation
This means that if a righteous man surrenders their principal to the wicked the words of their mouth is like a spring that has been muddied by someone walking through it.
Just as the water is undrinkable so too are the words of the righteous who has surrendered his Godly principals to the wicked.
Anyone who has walked through a forest on a hot day and becomes thirsty can tell you how frustrating it is because some idiot chose to walk through the stream upstream making it undrinkable for everyone else. I sure can.
So too are the words of the compromised righteous mans words disgusting to those around them.
To surrender your morals to the wicked is to pee in the stream of Gods word. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer:Thank you Jehovah Tsidkenu (The Lord is Righteousness) I Cor 1:30 for blessing me with a strong back bone to not surrender to the wicked and for sending the Holy Spirit to help me in my times of weakness so I do not compromise Your Holy standards for my life. I praise You in the name of He who is the most righteous Jesus Christ. Amen
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love fill your heart today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
It seems like the majority of folks today are like spoiled babies always crying gimme, gimme, gimme. It does not matter if the are young or old, man or woman (and as much as the lie berals like to pollute Gods design, that is the only two sexes there is naturally). It does not matter if the are rich or poor or what ethnically they are.
Yet, in this deafening screeching is the sound of silence of gratitude and service.
What can I offer the Lord for all he has done for me? Psalm 116:12 Holy Bible New Living Translation
Here is my gimme list
Please my Love gimme a grateful heart to thank you for all of your blessing both great and small every day.
Please my Love gimme eyes to see the subtle blessing You abundantly shower upon me every day so I can praise You more and more every day.
Please my Love, bless me with a heart that expands its love for You more and more every day.
Please my Love, gimme a mind and body that is submissive to Your will in my life every day.
Please my Love, gimme a forgiving heart to those who have offended me just as You forgive me when I repent.
Please my Love, open my eyes unto the needy not the lazy and ungrateful but rather those who are in genuine need and are appreciative of the help given.
Please my Love guide me where to invest Your tenth of my salary to You where it will do the most good for Your kingdom.
All of these are a gift of thanksgiving for my salvation and adoption into my Loving Heavenly Fathers family.
I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving Psalm 116:17 Holy Bible New Living Translation
Can you think of any other gimmes that should be on this list?
A Christian always has two open hands. One to receive the blessing of our Beloved Poppa in Heaven and the other to share those gifts with others. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Please Jehovah Abba (God our Poppa) guide me to give back unto You as You have abundantly give unto me. I know I can never even match You much less surpass You but I would sure like to try. I sincerely ask this in the name of He who gave me the greatest blessing of all, an open door directly to You, Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed with abundant joy in your heart filled with love and your life overflowing with laughter every day this year.
Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men Colossians 3:23 The Holy Bible, Amplified Version
Have you ever worked for the “not good enoughs”?
These are ungrateful folks that no matter how hard you try it is never good enough for them. I used to be a people pleaser. It was not that their praise was needed for my ego but that there was a genuine desire to make others happy. It was and still is devastating to try your best only to experience their gratitude by slowly slicing it apart as with a knife with their complaints on how it is not good enough.
Now, that I am a more mature Christian, I seek Jesus’ pleasure not mans. He does not make a big deal out of it but there is a gentle loving feeling in the heart when He softly whispers:” Well done My good and faithful servant.” That is more rewarding than anyone else could say or do.
Work for Christ nor man. He is much easier to work for and much more appreciative. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jesus Hamelech ( Jesus my Lord King ) – Psalm 98:6 for blessing me with the honour of being Your obedient servant. I am filled with such wonderful joy when You esteem my dedication unto You in daily service to the King I adore. I thank you in Your majestic name. Amen
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love fill your heart today and every day. Joseph a son of Jehovah
May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Ephesians 3:19 Holy Bible, New Living Translation
How can this be?
I have heard the old saying that men will never understand a woman (and vise versa) which to a degree is true.
But, how can a love be so great that we cannot understand it?
That is amazing.
We have all been in loving relationships but we understood the manner of our love for each other and why we love each other. That is logical.
By our standards Jehovah has to be the most illogical being we have ever encountered. That is because His ways are so much higher than ours. That is because He loves us so much more than we can ever give back in return. That is why I deeply desire to love Him more and more every day. Not because I want more of His love but because just once I would like to love Him back almost as much as He loves me.
I believe that for every ounce of love we give Jesus, He gives us a pound more back in return. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah GELAH RAZ ( the God of the Revealer of Mysteries) for revealing the mystery of You and for the anticipation of always expanding that knowledge. I love learning more and more about You every day. I praise You for this awesome gift in the name of Your most precious gift to this world Jesus Christ. Amen
May the sunshine of Jesus’ sweet love bless you today and every day.
For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged. Matthew 7:2 Holy Bible, New Living Translation
Be careful of the words you say to someone today (especially the young ones), it may affect them the rest of their lives.
I grew up with very strong negative inputs in my life. I was constantly reminded of what a failure I was and that nothing was going to come of me. After moving away from these Negative Neliies it took me many decades to gain confidence in myself and that I was not a failure. The Holy Spirit had His work cut out with me. I like to say that I have succeeded in life in spite of those around me not because of them.
The good thing about this is that I was extremely sensitive to my children when a teacher.
No, I did not give them false beliefs like so many today that they can accomplish anything they desire and put their mind to. I did explain to them that sometimes there are things you cannot do but that does not make you a failure.
I did not puff them up when they succeeded but did praise and encourage them to expand their skills and knowledge from a sincere heart for their good.
They knew it and loved teacher for it.
I often wonder just how much I influenced their lives for good by my example.
And just remember this: what goes around, comes around. As you do unto others, so too will it be done back unto you. I have seen it oh so many times and believe me, it ain’t pretty.
“It is easier to ridicule than commend.” — Thomas Fuller
Prayer: Please Jehovah Ghmolah (The God of Recompense) put a lock on my lips when filth is about to be spewed from it and open it wide when sweet words of encouragement are about to flow from it. I deeply desire my speech to emulate Yours with whom have spoken so encouragingly to me. May I encourage others as You have me. I meekly request this in Your beautiful sons name who spoke so eloquently, like I deeply desire to, Jesus Christ. Amen
May the light of Christs love shine brightly in your heart today and every day
Because we understand our fearful responsibility to the Lord 2 Corinthians 5:11 New Living Translation Bible
Yes, as Christians we have a responsibility unto Jesus. He is our King and we are to serve Him.
Fearful in this context means being respectful. That means we are not to go before the King (in other words we are not to choose the type of service we offer to Christ but must be obedient unto His calling in life). We are not to sit on our hands and do nothing either. When the King calls we are to take responsibility and move where, when and how He asks us to. We are to take responsibility and do the work He has assigned for us to do.
I will sacrifice a voluntary offering to you; I will praise your name, O Lord, for it is good. Psalm 54:6 New Living Translation Bible
Yes, as Christians we are to give sacrifices unto Jehovah. That pleases Him.
No these sacrifices are not animals nor humans.
These are sacrifices of love, joy and gratitude.
Because Jehovah has blessed us we are to share the blessing with others and not hoard it. Our offering of the one tenth of everything is a sacrifice to Jehovah. That means not just money but if growing a garden the first one tenth is to be given to Jehovah. May I suggest you talk with a local church to share with the working poor, or the elderly that are on limited pensions or those that are sick or hurt and cannot work.
After seeing the lazy ungrateful welfare bums that go to food banks and soup kitchens I refuse to donate to them. That is a waste.
Sacrifice on tenth of your time. Again, go to a church and ask where they need help. It may be cutting the lawn or visiting someone in the hospital or seniors home.
“Love always involves responsibility, and love always involves sacrifice. And we do not really love Christ unless we are prepared to face His task and to take up His Cross.” — William Barclay
Prayer: It is an honour Jesus Hamelech ( Jesus my Lord King ) to suffer my Beloved King for You as You have suffered for me. It brings greater appreciation for the sacrifice You made for me. I extol You in Your magnificent loving name. Amen
May you be blessed with the gift of love, the gift of peace, the gift of joy. May you be blessed with numerous opportunities to share these gifts with others today.
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus," Ephesians 2:4-6
