I chose you. John 15:19 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
The next time you are feeling down just remember, you are a chosen one.
You did not come to Jesus, He came to you.
He did not come for you to sit on your hands and wait for Him but rather for you to serving the Supreme King. He has a specific job just for you. You were created to serve the most loving, special King of Kings.
Now how are we to know how to serve Jesus?
Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3:6 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Your will be done, not mine is the Christian motto. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Melech Olam (Psalms 10:16 The LORD King Forever ) for coming a knocking at the door of my heart and choosing to have me as one of Your loyal free will servants. It is the greatest honour that can be bestowed upon anyone. Thank you that through this relationship You have blessed with with nurturing a ever closer loving relationship with each other very day. I praise You in Your majestic name. Amen
May you be blessed with many opportunities to serve our Heavenly King today. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3:5-6 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Being independent is satans trick to get us to plunge ourselves into painful failures and distance ourselves from Jehovah Joseph a son of Jehovah
In my infancy in Jehovahs family it was exceedingly difficult to trust in Jehovah and leave it in His hands. It is inherent in the fleshly family to be fiercely independent, which of course leads to many unnecessary disasters and hard times. It took many years and suffering to finally surrender it all to Him.
Even now, even though I know this is the right thing to do , sometimes it takes great battles to surrender my will to His.
There is great battle, which the weapons of Christ is memorizing Bible verses and intense prayer. These are guaranteed to bring victory to the soul, mind and spirit of every Christian.
When You give your problem unto Jehovah, leave it in His hands. Trust Him that He will do what is right, not what you want.
There is no sense in asking Him for His advice if you insist on not waiting for Him but going out and doing what you think is right. That always leads to disaster. Joseph a son of Jehovah
The other problem with depending upon yourself is that it lulls you into the false sense of security in your own intellect and physical prowess. This causes us to refuse to include Jehovah in our daily living. This only leads to catastrophe.
Self achievement brings a false sense of assurance that somehow we can live a pure life in our own ability. This attitude ultimately leads us to cut ourselves off from the heart of God and, in turn, to deny our true identity in Christ.” David Edwards
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah for blessing me with sending me The Holy Spirit Elohim Ozer Li (Psalms 54:4 GOD My Helper) to help guide me along the trail of life You have chosen for me to travel. May it always glorify Your name and help guide others along the path You have chosen for them to travel. I praise You in the name of He who obeyed You all the way to the path that lead to Calvary Jesus Christ. Amen
May Gods sunshine always bless you with brightening your day along the path He has chosen for you to walk with His love, joy and peace. Joseph a son of Jehovah

Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. Psalm 51:10The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
With all the filth constantly around us every day in TV, movies, radio, and society at large we need to have constant reconstructive surgery every day.
We need the Holy Spirit to renew our spirits unto Christ while washing away the filth of the world.
That is why it is so important every day to spend quiet time alone with Jehovah, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. They will purge the filth and replace it with Divine love, wisdom and strength.
The Holy Spirit gives us the best bath we could ever have. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Machsi (Psalms 91:9 The LORD My Refuge ) for being my refuge in this dark world. I delight in spending time in Your oasis in this filthy world. It is the sweetest refuge of all. I thank you in the name of He with whom I love to take quiet refuse with every day, Jesus Christ. Amen
May the light of Christs love shine brightly in your heart today and every dayJoseph a son of Jehovah

The godly can look forward to a reward, while the wicked can expect only judgment. Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything. The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. If you search for good, you will find favor; but if you search for evil, it will find you! Trust in your money and down you go! But the godly flourish like leaves in spring. Those who bring trouble on their families inherit the wind. The fool will be a servant to the wise. The seeds of good deeds become a tree of life; a wise person wins friends. If the righteous are rewarded here on earth, what will happen to wicked sinners? Proverbs 11:23-31 Holy Bible New Living Translation
One day while volunteering with a Christian organization delivering furniture to the needy we delivered furniture to welfare bums. They were so lazy they refused to even carry the free blankets used to keep them warm. They were ungrateful.
But, you know what else they were?
Very sad and ashamed .
It was because they knew their lifestyle was wrong not because of us.
We were respectful and friendly with them.
Listening to them talk amongst themselves we hear them constantly brag about themselves while drinking and smoking cigarettes. This is vanity and it comes from a selfish heart. But the sad thing is that:
When you surround yourself with yourself you end up with nobody but yourself. That is a very lonely place to be. Joseph a son of Jehovah
They were living a destructive lifestyle and it was only destroying themselves.
For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body. 2 Corinthians 5:10 Holy Bible New Living Translation
Later we did deliver furniture to low income folks who were very grateful so it more than evened out for being a rewarding day knowing that we helped the truly needy. And, because we are Christians and those we helped were not, we gave glory to Jesus and by His grace used this as a conutit to guide them to Him.
And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God. Hebrews 13:16 Holy Bible New Living Translation
There is a difference between those in need and those who are too lazy to support themselves. Supporting the later is a waste of the resources Jehovah has given you to help those who are truly in need. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Please Elohim Ozer Li (Psalms 54:4 GOD My Helper ) bless me with helping me discern the difference between those that need help and those that are parasites upon society. The one my heart dance with joy for the opportunity to help. The other is a waste of time, energy and resources. I humbly request this in the name of He who only gave salvation to those who were willing to become His servants and work for His kingdoms interest Jesus Christ. Amen
Whatever is beautiful, whatever is meaningful, whatever brings you joy, may you be blessed with an abundance of it this every day this year.Joseph a son of Jehovah
So don’t be too good or too wise! Why destroy yourself? On the other hand, don’t be too wicked either. Don’t be a fool! Why die before your time? Ecclesiastes 7:16-17 The Holy Bible The New Living Translation
Too much wisdom can lead to self righteousness. Being a do gooder for the praise of others or as a bargaining chip with Jehovah(i.e. Look at all the good things I have done, now you owe me).
Too wise is when you have an arrogant ego over those who know less about being a Christian than you do or know less about the Bible than you do.
If you know more than others, one of the first things you must know is that Jehovah hates arrogance and that our wisdom comes from the grace and understanding that was given through the Holy Spirit. Joseph a son of Jehovah
How can being a fool cause you to die before your time?
Could it be that being a thrill seeker unnecessarily puts your life a risk , like bungee jumping or kayaking dangerous rapids or try to out ski an avalanche or living a dangerous lifestyle like homosexuality?
Could it be that living in excess of indulgences as gluttony and or drugs and booze destroys your body quicker than normal aging does?
Could it be that lying, cheating and abusing folks means you will get seven times back by Jehovahs ultimate court of justice?
You dance with the devil, you are going to get burned. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Holy Spirit Elohim Ozer Li (Psalms 54:4 GOD My Helper) for knocking me off of any high horse I climb on in order to prevent my head from getting too big.
Thank you for guiding me away from dangerous activities that can lead to disaster.
I praise you in the name of the humblest of with whom I adore and try, with Your help, to emulate Jesus Christ. Amen
May the light of Christs love shine brightly in your heart today and every dayJoseph a son of Jehovah
Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” Matthew 6:25-27 The Holy Bible, New Living Translation
This is for the worry worts.
You know they type, if there isn’t a crisis in their life, they will make one.
Why do you waste your time, effort and health on such frivolous things?
Not me, I give it all away.
Give it all away to Jesus that is. If you claim to be a Christian that is what you are supposed to do. Give all your troubles to Jehovah. Believe in Him. Believe He will soothe all your frets and provide a solution to you.
After all He took care of an entire nation, feeding them and caring for them, for forty years in the dessert, we are of course talking about the Israelite’s in the Exodus. And, they numbered over two million. If He can do that, what is your problem compared to that.
Worry is an insult to Jehovah. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Pray a sincere prayer and read your Bible.
Sometimes you may have to wait for your solution. How long did Abraham wait for the birth of Isaac. You cannot rush God; He works on His time, not yours.
Another thing, God is all wise. His answer may not be what you want, but is always in your best interest. He knows much more than you.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him Romans 8:28 The Holy Bible, New Living Translation.
So, when you finally receive your answer, don’t sit on your hands, take action. It is a partnership. He will supply the solution to your problem and the tools necessary to resolve the situation. BUT, YOU must take the action needed for resolution. It is teamwork.
And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us.” 2 Corinthians 1:10 The Holy Bible, New Living Translation
So, what are you waiting for?
Do it now. Open up your heart and pour all your worry upon Him. He is waiting to hear from you.
You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling Psalms 116:8 The Holy Bible, New Living Translation
“For I am convinced that neither deathnor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor thefuture, nor any powers neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38 39 The Holy Bible,New Living Translation
I have confidence in the only confident thing in this world: That the Holy Spirit is right by my side through it all. Both, the good times and the bad. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Here I am my beloved Jehovah Hossanha (God our maker). Mold me into the vessel You wish me to be, in Your own time and manner. I trust You completely to guide me and know You walk with me in good times and bad. In the name of Him who gave completely to You and for us Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
May your house be filled with joy in the morning and sweet dreams at night. May it be a home where love has come to live. Joseph a son of Jehovah
“Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.” (Joshua 1:8 New International Version)
Let this always be our first move.
Before you make any decisions in life may I offer you some advice from an experienced old man?
I have heard that the Jews have a custom. Before making any decision they pray for three days first.
Let’s expand on that shall we?
Let’s pray and read the Bible for three days first.
If someone is trying the pressure tactics on you, whether it be to buy something, sign a contract or go somewhere or do something no, don’t walk away, RUN away. It is a trap!!! They are offering you sugar but really it is rubbish. When you stand your ground and REFUSE to surrender to their scams they will walk away looking for another stupid sucker.
When you take the time to read the Bible and pray it is saying to God: Okay big daddy, I know You are the smartest kid on the block. I know You love me and have promised to take care of me, so I will wait for Your divine guidance and trust Your providence.” You may not like His conclusion in the short run, but in the long run He will never let you down.
I was once offered what I thought was a jewel of a contract. The benefits alone were very generous, as was the pay. I informed them I had to wait three days and pray. While reading the Bible the reoccurring theme came up about laying snares to catch the innocent. It broke my heart, but I turned the contract down. Another teacher took the job. For three months he was always bragging about how good it was. We were green with envy. Then they sprang their trap. He was treated worse than you would a dog. He was given twice the classes they told him, had many extra duties dumped on him and had to come a running and teach class at his masters every beck and call (for no extra pay). Then he was the laughing stock of the teaching community. Now I danced with exalted joy for listening to the wise advice given by the best guidance councilor (the Holy Spirit).
Do you understand now children?
We have limited view of things. God has the WHOLE view of them.
Where are you going to go for advice? So let your first step ALWAYS be:
1) Wait. He who rushes in is a fool in a hurry for a disaster. Joseph a son of Jehovah
2) Pray: Think of praying as sharing a problem with your most trusted friend. Don’t be afraid. God loves you and wants you to pour out your heart to Him like a beautiful offering. “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (James 5:16).
I call on you, my God, for you will answer me; turn your ear to me and hear my prayer. Psalms 16:7 3)
Meditate.
Now meditating does not mean sitting like a pretzel and contemplating your belly button lint. What it does mean is to read the word of God and to dink it in. Please do not try to gulp it down like a cheap beer. Rather take your time and sip it down like fine wine. Many times a verse will jump out at you. Write it down. Think about what it is saying. Pray for God to open your eyes to the awesome wisdom He is revealing to you.
Finally, with complete faith in God, take action. No worries, no regrets, just complete and total faith in our Holy God and His providence for us.
In the LORD I take refuge. Psalms 11:1 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
“The thief’s purpose is to steal, kill and destroy. My purpose is to give life in all its fullness” John 10:10 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
I would like to close by saying: good luck.” But that would be stupid. It’s not luck, it’s Gods gift to you. Take it from an old fart. It really works. I am living proof.
Faith without action is no faith at all. Joseph a son of Jehovah
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Emet (God of truth) for blessing me with this recipe to avoid the schemes and scams of satans minions and to follow the true path of life that can only be given by He who is the God of truth. I praise You in the name of He who set the example of living a life of truth Jesus Christ. Amen
Whatever is beautiful, whatever is meaningful, whatever brings you joy, may you be blessed with an abundance of it this every day this year.Joseph a son of Jehovah
Weeping may last through the night but joy comes with the morning. Psalm 30:5 The Holy Bible New Living Translation
When we are sad, discouraged and or heavy burdened it seems as if clouds of darkness envelope us in the darkest of darkness.
Yet, when the Lord come to help us, encourage us and lifts that burden from our shoulders when we surrender to them, the dark clouds dissipate and flutter away. They are replaced with the sunshine of Jehovahs love and joy which make our hearts dance with delight and praise.
“The greater my knowledge of the goodness and grace of God on my life, the more likely I am to praise Him in the storm.” Matt Chandler
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah ‘Immeku (The Lord Is With You) Judges 6:12 for blessing me with Your encouragement, strength, comfort and guidance not just in the dark days but in all my days. Thank is one of the greatest blessings there can ever be. I exalt You in the name of my most cherished blessing Jesus Christ. Amen
Whatever is beautiful, whatever is meaningful, whatever brings you joy, may you be blessed with an abundance of it this every day this year.
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.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart. The Holy Bible New Living Translation
I may not understand how everything will work out, but I trust you.
I don’t see a way, but I know you will make a way.
I have faith at this very moment you are touching hearts, opening doors, and lining up the right break and opportunities.
Things look dark and bleak now, but I have faith that my dawn is coming!
In Jesus’ name, Amen! Anonymous
“[Christians], at their best, know that often they don’t know. They do not have all the answers. They do not have God in their pocket. We cannot answer every question that any bright boy in the back row might ask. We have only light enough to walk by.” — Howard A. Johnson
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Hoshe’ah ( The Lord Saves ) Psalm 20: 9 that even when I do not see the way, I trust in Your Divine providence to save the lost and guide those walking in darkness into Your brilliant light of love. I thank You in the name of He who is the light of the world 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.
