Struggle

I know many of you are struggling out there with the dangerous levels of Porn. It is best not to keep it a hidden. The danger of sexual sin is that it pulls you really deep and it can distort your thinking levels on it. The worse thing is that you would treat the person wrongly from physical to emotions to mental and even spiritually.

Seeing another person naked is having it within the walls of marriage. God design it that way. Marriage is some thing that both male and female are to complement and grow spiritually together. Watching porn is just causing more damage to what God has design it. Even went you are marry, you shouldn't cheat on your spouse because is another way of committing adultery. It is said in Matthew 5:27-30. read it. There are other verses to support my view on this dangerous topic but Jesus Christ does put it nicely and plain for everyone to see. There are no two ways of seeing this portion of scripture.

I tell you better not destroy what God has design and purpose for it. Here is a article about porn addiction does to the person. Don't go down that road. It does really destroy the real you that God wanted you to be.

click here (this article is to tell you how bad porn addiction is, it is not to help you get out of it)

If you need help, talk to your leaders or pastor or better your parents. It is better to get rid of it as quickly as possible than letting it be.

God loves you but hates the sin,

Topics That We Shoug Fight to Win

Here

Is a topic that is going on for to long that people are to stubborn to realize God is to real for people. We Christians should the Word of God closely and understand it well. We must take a stand to defend our faith.

Without the people who are trying to fight off this people, Christians would not exist till today. So read the article

Prayer Power

What do prayer and grocery shopping have in common? Lists! Daniel Henderson, Assistant Professor of Renewal and Church Leadership at Liberty University, said it is common for people to pray because of a crisis or when they have a list of requests they want God to fulfill. At Wednesday’s convocation, Henderson — also the Pastor of Renewal at Thomas Road Baptist Church — challenged LU students to see prayer, instead, as a time of strengthening their relationship with God.

“God’s giving you the opportunity right now to experience something that will forever change your life,” he said. “Worship-based prayer doesn’t begin with a list — it begins with God’s word.”

There are many passages in the Bible that encourage and command Christians to seek God’s face, he said. II Chronicles 7:14 states: “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

“God’s hand is what He does for us, and God’s face is who He is,” Henderson explained.

Christians who spend time in prayer seeking God’s face instead of simply praying for specific requests will experience blessings while maturing their faith, he said. He encouraged students to open the Bible the next time they pray, in order to see how God’s word should shape their prayers.

“The life-changing power of worship-based prayer brings about five realities: God is glorified; I am sanctified; we are edified; the enemy is notified; and the world is mystified.”

I took this from my school convocation. It is such a powerful message. I think we should change our style of prayer.

prayer,

Fellowship.

Hello fellow readers of this blog. Sorry for the long pause in not posting anything here but i needed the break. I need to go deeper in God's Word to find more revelation from God Himself. I found out that there was more true than meets my eye.

I went back to basics to remind myself the level I'm in God. God just reveal so much to me in this scripture that all the youth leaders are looking for in their cell group and in the church.

Acts 2:42-47

The Fellowship of the Believers

⁴²They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. ⁴³Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. ⁴⁴All the believers were together and had everything in common. ⁴⁵Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. ⁴⁶Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, ⁴⁷praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

There was so much truth in this scripture that i thought over the past years. To my shock also that David used it during Word. The points i get are three G's: Genuine, Growth, Guaranteed. If you are trying to do Word, you usually try to make it easy for your people to understand and importantly remember what you say. That it why there are like points with the three G or three something that was simple to remember.

Anyway...

The first point. Genuine. The people were being real to one another. They wanted and crave of more of God in their lives. It says that they devoted themselves to the apostles and there was unity among themselves. They were transparent between themselves. In the end of it all they were bless with the wonders that the apostles did.

So we got to be real with God and don't play with Him. Lets make it all business. If you want God to help you in your life, you got to be real with God. No kidding. It is whether you are in or out. Being real. You want to do things to because you are simply touch by His love. alright?

The second point. Growth. There was growth among them. The level of their knowledge of God grow. Read Acts 2:44. the word everything in common. They were on the same wave length. Wanting to learn. Wanting to GROW!!!. Everything they did turn into countless blessing from God.

You want growth in your life. It is time to start learning more of God's word. Find every way to learn what the Bible is telling you. Read, read ,read ,read over, over, over, over again the scripture you are reading. Find in the Internet. Search. Still don't know, ASK!!! Ask your Pastor, ask the leaders. If no help. Write down the question for that scripture and file it. In the future most likely you be able to answer that question you ask yourself over the years. Do everything possible to learn more of God. Get into the relationship. Come on!!! you can do it!!!

i got verses to back this point. There are Psalms 1:1-2, Psalms 119:32, Psalms 119:9-11, Ecc 12:13, Psalms 119:105, John 17:17

the third point. Guaranteed. This last point is when you got both point in your heart. God has a guaranteed on you. I'm sure that God will help you in all levels from school to personal life to parents to anything.

See if you are walking so close to God. You would be able to hear from God anytime anywhere. You be in a different level. The level in thinking of God's wave length. I for sure guaranteed you one thing. If you are walking very close to God you would fulfill the prophet Joel prophecy in the Bible. Read Joel 2:28-32

Lets not live a lie. It is better to be cold or hot than being lukewarm. God hates lukewarm people than cold people. i tell you. Don't mess with Him even though we have grace but don't live on this alone, you got to start being geninue then you would see the seeds start to grow.

I pray that you all here would understand what i mean. I pray that you all would be empowered to learn more.

God love you. Now is the matter that whether you love God back. He has done all for us, it is matter for you to walk the path.

Jer 33:3.

Jeremiah 33

Promise of Restoration

¹ While Jeremiah was still confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the LORD came to him a second time: ² "This is what the LORD says, he who made the earth, the LORD who formed it and established it—the LORD is his name: ³ 'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.' ⁴ For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says about the houses in this city and the royal palaces of Judah that have been torn down to be used against the siege ramps and the sword ⁵ in the fight with the Babylonians: 'They will be filled with the dead bodies of the men I will slay in my anger and wrath. I will hide my face from this city because of all its wickedness.

⁶ " 'Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security. ⁷ I will bring Judah and Israel back from captivity and will rebuild them as they were before. ⁸ I will cleanse them from all the sin they have committed against me and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against me. ⁹ Then this city will bring me renown, joy, praise and honor before all nations on earth that hear of all the good things I do for it; and they will be in awe and will tremble at the abundant prosperity and peace I provide for it.'

¹⁰ "This is what the LORD says: 'You say about this place, "It is a desolate waste, without men or animals." Yet in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem that are deserted, inhabited by neither men nor animals, there will be heard once more ¹¹ the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those who bring thank offerings to the house of the LORD, saying,
"Give thanks to the LORD Almighty,
for the LORD is good;
his love endures forever."
For I will restore the fortunes of the land as they were before,' says the LORD.

¹² "This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'In this place, desolate and without men or animals—in all its towns there will again be pastures for shepherds to rest their flocks. ¹³ In the towns of the hill country, of the western foothills and of the Negev, in the territory of Benjamin, in the villages around Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah, flocks will again pass under the hand of the one who counts them,' says the LORD.

¹⁴ " 'The days are coming,' declares the LORD, 'when I will fulfill the gracious promise I made to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.

¹⁵ " 'In those days and at that time
I will make a righteous Branch sprout from David's line;
he will do what is just and right in the land.

¹⁶ In those days Judah will be saved
and Jerusalem will live in safety.
This is the name by which it will be called:
The LORD Our Righteousness.'

¹⁷ For this is what the LORD says: 'David will never fail to have a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel, ¹⁸ nor will the priests, who are Levites, ever fail to have a man to stand before me continually to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings and to present sacrifices.' "

¹⁹ The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: ²⁰ "This is what the LORD says: 'If you can break my covenant with the day and my covenant with the night, so that day and night no longer come at their appointed time, ²¹ then my covenant with David my servant—and my covenant with the Levites who are priests ministering before me—can be broken and David will no longer have a descendant to reign on his throne. ²² I will make the descendants of David my servant and the Levites who minister before me as countless as the stars of the sky and as measureless as the sand on the seashore.' "

²³ The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: ²⁴ "Have you not noticed that these people are saying, 'The LORD has rejected the two kingdoms he chose'? So they despise my people and no longer regard them as a nation. ²⁵ This is what the LORD says: 'If I have not established my covenant with day and night and the fixed laws of heaven and earth, ²⁶ then I will reject the descendants of Jacob and David my servant and will not choose one of his sons to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes and have compassion on them.' "

The Prophet Jeremiah to many researches call him the depress Prophet. Because many of the jews wouldn't want to listen to him. Most of the time Jeremiah spoke to God more than the people.

So hope you enjoy reading his book.

amasses it for another, who will be kind to the poor.

even his prayers are detestable.

This chapter is a interesting. It has so many levels of wisdom in here that i believe we can use in our daily lifes. So let this scripture speak to your heart.

God loves you

Philippians 4

¹Therefore, my brothers, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, that is how you should stand firm in the Lord, dear friends!

Exhortations

²I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to agree with each other in the Lord. ³Yes, and I ask you, loyal yokefellow, help these women who have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

⁴Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! ⁵Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. ⁶Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ⁷And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

⁸Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. ⁹Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Thanks for Their Gifts

¹⁰I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. ¹¹I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. ¹²I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. ¹³I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

¹⁴Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles. ¹⁵Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only; ¹⁶for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid again and again when I was in need. ¹⁷Not that I am looking for a gift, but I am looking for what may be credited to your account. ¹⁸I have received full payment and even more; I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. ¹⁹And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

²⁰To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Final Greetings

²¹Greet all the saints in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send greetings. ²²All the saints send you greetings, especially those who belong to Caesar's household.

²³The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

Philippians is a great book to read about courage, keep on going for Jesus Chirst, and stay focus. Is a book that you need to read in one shot and then interpret it. Overall, don't look back.

God loves you

Wisdom

More from Proverbs. I like to give it to you and interpret it yourself because it is best that you have your own interpretation and once you have than you read the same portion that you read. I'm sure that you will surely get a different interpretation than your first one.

So let's read this chapter in Proverbs...

Proverbs 22

¹ A good name is more desirable than great riches;
to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.

² Rich and poor have this in common:
The LORD is the Maker of them all.

³ A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge,
but the simple keep going and suffer for it.

⁴ Humility and the fear of the LORD
bring wealth and honor and life.

⁵ In the paths of the wicked lie thorns and snares,
but he who guards his soul stays far from them.

⁶ Train a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not turn from it.

⁷ The rich rule over the poor,
and the borrower is servant to the lender.

⁸ He who sows wickedness reaps trouble,
and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.

⁹ A generous man will himself be blessed,
for he shares his food with the poor.

¹⁰ Drive out the mocker, and out goes strife;
quarrels and insults are ended.

¹¹ He who loves a pure heart and whose speech is gracious
will have the king for his friend.

¹² The eyes of the LORD keep watch over knowledge,
but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.

¹³ The sluggard says, "There is a lion outside!"
or, "I will be murdered in the streets!"

¹⁴ The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit;
he who is under the LORD's wrath will fall into it.

¹⁵ Folly is bound up in the heart of a child,
but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him.

¹⁶ He who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth
and he who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty.

Sayings of the Wise

¹⁷ Pay attention and listen to the sayings of the wise;
apply your heart to what I teach,

¹⁸ for it is pleasing when you keep them in your heart
and have all of them ready on your lips.

¹⁹ So that your trust may be in the LORD,
I teach you today, even you.

²⁰ Have I not written thirty sayings for you,
sayings of counsel and knowledge,

²¹ teaching you true and reliable words,
so that you can give sound answers
to him who sent you?

²² Do not exploit the poor because they are poor
and do not crush the needy in court,

²³ for the LORD will take up their case
and will plunder those who plunder them.

²⁴ Do not make friends with a hot-tempered man,
do not associate with one easily angered,

²⁵ or you may learn his ways
and get yourself ensnared.

²⁶ Do not be a man who strikes hands in pledge
or puts up security for debts;

²⁷ if you lack the means to pay,
your very bed will be snatched from under you.

²⁸ Do not move an ancient boundary stone
set up by your forefathers.

²⁹ Do you see a man skilled in his work?
He will serve before kings;
he will not serve before obscure men.

Do your own interpretation of this chapter and do as many as you can. Then do another one the next day and so on. You will get different results. I want you to be inspired to read and understand God better. Having different interpretation of a chapter or portion of scripture is not wrong. Is just what God is revealing to you in different ways through that portion of scripture that you are reading.

So enjoy

God loves you

More Wisdom...

I'm a man that just simply love reading Proverbs. Reading different version of book of Proverbs just opens more of my mind to see God's plan for us. The best version i read so far is the kids version.

Anyway, let's read...

Proverbs 20

¹ Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler;
whoever is led astray by them is not wise.

² A king's wrath is like the roar of a lion;
he who angers him forfeits his life.

³ It is to a man's honor to avoid strife,
but every fool is quick to quarrel.

⁴ A sluggard does not plow in season;
so at harvest time he looks but finds nothing.

⁵ The purposes of a man's heart are deep waters,
but a man of understanding draws them out.

⁶ Many a man claims to have unfailing love,
but a faithful man who can find?

⁷ The righteous man leads a blameless life;
blessed are his children after him.

⁸ When a king sits on his throne to judge,
he winnows out all evil with his eyes.

⁹ Who can say, "I have kept my heart pure;
I am clean and without sin"?

¹⁰ Differing weights and differing measures—
the LORD detests them both.

¹¹ Even a child is known by his actions,
by whether his conduct is pure and right.

¹² Ears that hear and eyes that see—
the LORD has made them both.

¹³ Do not love sleep or you will grow poor;
stay awake and you will have food to spare.

¹⁴ "It's no good, it's no good!" says the buyer;
then off he goes and boasts about his purchase.

¹⁵ Gold there is, and rubies in abundance,
but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel.

¹⁶ Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger;
hold it in pledge if he does it for a wayward woman.

¹⁷ Food gained by fraud tastes sweet to a man,
but he ends up with a mouth full of gravel.

¹⁸ Make plans by seeking advice;
if you wage war, obtain guidance.

¹⁹ A gossip betrays a confidence;
so avoid a man who talks too much.

²⁰ If a man curses his father or mother,
his lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness.

²¹ An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning
will not be blessed at the end.

²² Do not say, "I'll pay you back for this wrong!"
Wait for the LORD, and he will deliver you.

²³ The LORD detests differing weights,
and dishonest scales do not please him.

²⁴ A man's steps are directed by the LORD.
How then can anyone understand his own way?

²⁵ It is a trap for a man to dedicate something rashly
and only later to consider his vows.

²⁶ A wise king winnows out the wicked;
he drives the threshing wheel over them.

²⁷ The lamp of the LORD searches the spirit of a man;
it searches out his inmost being.

²⁸ Love and faithfulness keep a king safe;
through love his throne is made secure.

²⁹ The glory of young men is their strength,
gray hair the splendor of the old.

³⁰ Blows and wounds cleanse away evil,
and beatings purge the inmost being.

I think there is a lot of truth in this chapter that is happening in the Church. So lets look deep in you hearts, soul and mind to understand ourselves better and also God.

God loves you

Food

Mark 8

Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand

¹During those days another large crowd gathered. Since they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said, ²"I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. ³If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way, because some of them have come a long distance."

⁴His disciples answered, "But where in this remote place can anyone get enough bread to feed them?"

⁵"How many loaves do you have?" Jesus asked.
"Seven," they replied.

⁶He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. When he had taken the seven loaves and given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people, and they did so. ⁷They had a few small fish as well; he gave thanks for them also and told the disciples to distribute them. ⁸The people ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. ⁹About four thousand men were present. And having sent them away, ¹⁰he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.

¹¹The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven. ¹²He sighed deeply and said, "Why does this generation ask for a miraculous sign? I tell you the truth, no sign will be given to it." ¹³Then he left them, got back into the boat and crossed to the other side.

The Yeast of the Pharisees and Herod

¹⁴The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat. ¹⁵"Be careful," Jesus warned them. "Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod."

¹⁶They discussed this with one another and said, "It is because we have no bread."

¹⁷Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: "Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened? ¹⁸Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don't you remember? ¹⁹When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?"
"Twelve," they replied.

²⁰"And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?"
They answered, "Seven."

²¹He said to them, "Do you still not understand?"

The Healing of a Blind Man at Bethsaida

²²They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. ²³He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man's eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, "Do you see anything?"

²⁴He looked up and said, "I see people; they look like trees walking around."

²⁵Once more Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. ²⁶Jesus sent him home, saying, "Don't go into the village."

Peter's Confession of Christ

²⁷Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, "Who do people say I am?"

²⁸They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets."

²⁹"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"
Peter answered, "You are the Christ."

³⁰Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.

Jesus Predicts His Death

³¹He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again. ³²He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

³³But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. "Get behind me, Satan!" he said. "You do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men."

³⁴Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. ³⁵For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. ³⁶What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? ³⁷Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? ³⁸If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."

I think many of you have read this verses a lot and is taught in Sunday School a lot too. enjoy this reading and don't be afraid to question the scriptures.

Human knowledge

In the book of Ecclesiastes, King Solomon from a different view and it is in human view. This book is full of emotion is like King Solomon as cannot take it anymore in life. But he always manages to redeem himself and see God's power.

lets look into chapter

Ecclesiastes 2

Pleasures Are Meaningless

¹ I thought in my heart, "Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good." But that also proved to be meaningless. ² "Laughter," I said, "is foolish. And what does pleasure accomplish?" ³ I tried cheering myself with wine, and embracing folly—my mind still guiding me with wisdom. I wanted to see what was worthwhile for men to do under heaven during the few days of their lives.

⁴ I undertook great projects: I built houses for myself and planted vineyards. ⁵ I made gardens and parks and planted all kinds of fruit trees in them. ⁶ I made reservoirs to water groves of flourishing trees. ⁷ I bought male and female slaves and had other slaves who were born in my house. I also owned more herds and flocks than anyone in Jerusalem before me. ⁸ I amassed silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and provinces. I acquired men and women singers, and a harem as well—the delights of the heart of man. ⁹ I became greater by far than anyone in Jerusalem before me. In all this my wisdom stayed with me.

¹⁰ I denied myself nothing my eyes desired;
I refused my heart no pleasure.
My heart took delight in all my work,
and this was the reward for all my labor.

¹¹ Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done
and what I had toiled to achieve,
everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind;
nothing was gained under the sun.

Wisdom and Folly Are Meaningless

¹² Then I turned my thoughts to consider wisdom,
and also madness and folly.
What more can the king's successor do
than what has already been done?

¹³ I saw that wisdom is better than folly,
just as light is better than darkness.

¹⁴ The wise man has eyes in his head,
while the fool walks in the darkness;
but I came to realize
that the same fate overtakes them both.

¹⁵ Then I thought in my heart,
"The fate of the fool will overtake me also.
What then do I gain by being wise?"
I said in my heart,
"This too is meaningless."

¹⁶ For the wise man, like the fool, will not be long remembered;
in days to come both will be forgotten.
Like the fool, the wise man too must die!

Toil Is Meaningless

¹⁷ So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. ¹⁸ I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me. ¹⁹ And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will have control over all the work into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun. This too is meaningless. ²⁰ So my heart began to despair over all my toilsome labor under the sun. ²¹ For a man may do his work with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then he must leave all he owns to someone who has not worked for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune. ²² What does a man get for all the toil and anxious striving with which he labors under the sun? ²³ All his days his work is pain and grief; even at night his mind does not rest. This too is meaningless. ²⁴ A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, ²⁵ for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment? ²⁶ To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind




Hope you always focus on God. Never ever get to smart for yourself in other words Selfish or Cocky.

Psalms

Here is another Psalm that can help you through your day.

Psalm 68

For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. A song.

¹ May God arise, may his enemies be scattered;
may his foes flee before him.

² As smoke is blown away by the wind,
may you blow them away;
as wax melts before the fire,
may the wicked perish before God.

³ But may the righteous be glad
and rejoice before God;
may they be happy and joyful.

⁴ Sing to God, sing praise to his name,
extol him who rides on the clouds —
his name is the LORD—
and rejoice before him.

⁵ A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows,
is God in his holy dwelling.

⁶ God sets the lonely in families,
he leads forth the prisoners with singing;
but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.

⁷ When you went out before your people, O God,
when you marched through the wasteland,
Selah

⁸ the earth shook,
the heavens poured down rain,
before God, the One of Sinai,
before God, the God of Israel.

⁹ You gave abundant showers, O God;
you refreshed your weary inheritance.

¹⁰ Your people settled in it,
and from your bounty, O God, you provided for the poor.

¹¹ The Lord announced the word,
and great was the company of those who proclaimed it:

¹² "Kings and armies flee in haste;
in the camps men divide the plunder.

¹³ Even while you sleep among the campfires,
the wings of my dove are sheathed with silver,
its feathers with shining gold."

¹⁴ When the Almighty scattered the kings in the land,
it was like snow fallen on Zalmon.

¹⁵ The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains;
rugged are the mountains of Bashan.

¹⁶ Why gaze in envy, O rugged mountains,
at the mountain where God chooses to reign,
where the LORD himself will dwell forever?

¹⁷ The chariots of God are tens of thousands
and thousands of thousands;
the Lord has come from Sinai into his sanctuary.

¹⁸ When you ascended on high,
you led captives in your train;
you received gifts from men,
even from the rebellious—
that you, O LORD God, might dwell there.

¹⁹ Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior,
who daily bears our burdens.
Selah

²⁰ Our God is a God who saves;
from the Sovereign LORD comes escape from death.

²¹ Surely God will crush the heads of his enemies,
the hairy crowns of those who go on in their sins.

²² The Lord says, "I will bring them from Bashan;
I will bring them from the depths of the sea,

²³ that you may plunge your feet in the blood of your foes,
while the tongues of your dogs have their share."

²⁴ Your procession has come into view, O God,
the procession of my God and King into the sanctuary.

²⁵ In front are the singers, after them the musicians;
with them are the maidens playing tambourines.

²⁶ Praise God in the great congregation;
praise the LORD in the assembly of Israel.

²⁷ There is the little tribe of Benjamin, leading them,
there the great throng of Judah's princes,
and there the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali.

²⁸ Summon your power, O God;
show us your strength, O God, as you have done before.

²⁹ Because of your temple at Jerusalem
kings will bring you gifts.

³⁰ Rebuke the beast among the reeds,
the herd of bulls among the calves of the nations.
Humbled, may it bring bars of silver.
Scatter the nations who delight in war.

³¹ Envoys will come from Egypt;
Cush will submit herself to God.

³² Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth,
sing praise to the Lord,
Selah

³³ to him who rides the ancient skies above,
who thunders with mighty voice.

³⁴ Proclaim the power of God,
whose majesty is over Israel,
whose power is in the skies.

³⁵ You are awesome, O God, in your sanctuary;
the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people.
Praise be to God!

God is great,

Salvation

Salvation is a on going process that all of us have to earn it is by through faith and obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ. To understand Salvation, you got to read Galatians, James and Romans. Those three books speak a lot about Faith, Salvation and Righteousness.

But we are going to read one chapter from Romans today which is

Romans 15

¹We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. ²Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. ³For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: "The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me." ⁴For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

⁵May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, ⁶so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁷Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. ⁸For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God's truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs ⁹so that the Gentiles may glorify God for his mercy, as it is written:
"Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles;
I will sing hymns to your name." ¹⁰Again, it says,
"Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people." ¹¹And again,
"Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
and sing praises to him, all you peoples." ¹²And again, Isaiah says,
"The Root of Jesse will spring up,
one who will arise to rule over the nations;
the Gentiles will hope in him."

¹³May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Paul the Minister to the Gentiles

¹⁴I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, complete in knowledge and competent to instruct one another. ¹⁵I have written you quite boldly on some points, as if to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me ¹⁶to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles with the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God. ¹⁸I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done— ¹⁹by the power of signs and miracles, through the power of the Spirit. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ. ²⁰It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else's foundation. ²¹Rather, as it is written:
"Those who were not told about him will see,
and those who have not heard will understand." ²²This is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.

Paul's Plan to Visit Rome

²³But now that there is no more place for me to work in these regions, and since I have been longing for many years to see you, ²⁴I plan to do so when I go to Spain. I hope to visit you while passing through and to have you assist me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while. ²⁵Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem in the service of the saints there. ²⁶For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem. ²⁷They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews' spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings. ²⁸So after I have completed this task and have made sure that they have received this fruit, I will go to Spain and visit you on the way. ²⁹I know that when I come to you, I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ.

³⁰I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me. ³¹Pray that I may be rescued from the unbelievers in Judea and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there, ³²so that by God's will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed. ³³The God of peace be with you all. Amen.

Read it carefully, don't miss out on any word. And always question it and have that sense of believing and craving for more of Jesus Christ in your heart.

Real Stories

Reading all the Old Testament scripture has it all pointing towards Jesus Christ coming. So if you are reading any of the Old Testament try to think what the chapters, verses, scripture is telling you about Jesus Christ.

Exodus 33

¹ Then the LORD said to Moses, "Leave this place, you and the people you brought up out of Egypt, and go up to the land I promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, 'I will give it to your descendants.' ² I will send an angel before you and drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. ³ Go up to the land flowing with milk and honey. But I will not go with you, because you are a stiff-necked people and I might destroy you on the way."

⁴ When the people heard these distressing words, they began to mourn and no one put on any ornaments. ⁵ For the LORD had said to Moses, "Tell the Israelites, 'You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go with you even for a moment, I might destroy you. Now take off your ornaments and I will decide what to do with you.' " ⁶ So the Israelites stripped off their ornaments at Mount Horeb.

The Tent of Meeting

⁷ Now Moses used to take a tent and pitch it outside the camp some distance away, calling it the "tent of meeting." Anyone inquiring of the LORD would go to the tent of meeting outside the camp. ⁸ And whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose and stood at the entrances to their tents, watching Moses until he entered the tent. ⁹ As Moses went into the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and stay at the entrance, while the LORD spoke with Moses. ¹⁰ Whenever the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they all stood and worshiped, each at the entrance to his tent. ¹¹ The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent.

Moses and the Glory of the LORD

¹² Moses said to the LORD, "You have been telling me, 'Lead these people,' but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, 'I know you by name and you have found favor with me.' ¹³ If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people."

¹⁴ The LORD replied, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."

¹⁵ Then Moses said to him, "If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. ¹⁶ How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?"

¹⁷ And the LORD said to Moses, "I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name."

¹⁸ Then Moses said, "Now show me your glory."

¹⁹ And the LORD said, "I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the LORD, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. ²⁰ But," he said, "you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live."

²¹ Then the LORD said, "There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. ²² When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. ²³ Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen."

Book of John

John was a really smart guy. He didn't use any of the other Gospel to write his book about Jesus Christ. He did other miracles and wonders that the other Gospel didn't have. John wanted everyone that read his book to know and understand that Jesus Christ is God. So reading the book of John, hope that you see that God is really powerful and God can do everything.

John 1

The Word Became Flesh

¹In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ²He was with God in the beginning.

³Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. ⁴In him was life, and that life was the light of men. ⁵The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.

⁶There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. ⁷He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. ⁸He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. ⁹The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.

¹⁰He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. ¹¹He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. ¹²Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— ¹³children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.

¹⁴The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

¹⁵John testifies concerning him. He cries out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.' " ¹⁶From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. ¹⁷For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. ¹⁸No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.

John the Baptist Denies Being the Christ

¹⁹Now this was John's testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. ²⁰He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, "I am not the Christ."

²¹They asked him, "Then who are you? Are you Elijah?"
He said, "I am not."
"Are you the Prophet?"
He answered, "No."

²²Finally they said, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

²³John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, "I am the voice of one calling in the desert, 'Make straight the way for the Lord.' "

²⁴Now some Pharisees who had been sent ²⁵questioned him, "Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"

²⁶"I baptize with water," John replied, "but among you stands one you do not know. ²⁷He is the one who comes after me, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie."

²⁸This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

Jesus the Lamb of God

²⁹The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! ³⁰This is the one I meant when I said, 'A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.' ³¹I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing with water was that he might be revealed to Israel."

³²Then John gave this testimony: "I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. ³³I would not have known him, except that the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, 'The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is he who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.' ³⁴I have seen and I testify that this is the Son of God."

Jesus' First Disciples

³⁵The next day John was there again with two of his disciples. ³⁶When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of God!"

³⁷When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. ³⁸Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, "What do you want?"
They said, "Rabbi" (which means Teacher), "where are you staying?"

³⁹"Come," he replied, "and you will see."
So they went and saw where he was staying, and spent that day with him. It was about the tenth hour.

⁴⁰Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. ⁴¹The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, "We have found the Messiah" (that is, the Christ). ⁴²And he brought him to Jesus.
Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which, when translated, is Peter).

Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael

⁴³The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, "Follow me."

⁴⁴Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida. ⁴⁵Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

⁴⁶"Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?" Nathanael asked.
"Come and see," said Philip.

⁴⁷When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, "Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is nothing false."

⁴⁸"How do you know me?" Nathanael asked.
Jesus answered, "I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you."

⁴⁹Then Nathanael declared, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel."

⁵⁰Jesus said, "You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You shall see greater things than that." ⁵¹He then added, "I tell you the truth, you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

Power of Jesus.

Luke 6

Lord of the Sabbath

¹One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and his disciples began to pick some heads of grain, rub them in their hands and eat the kernels. ²Some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?"

³Jesus answered them, "Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? ⁴He entered the house of God, and taking the consecrated bread, he ate what is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions." ⁵Then Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath."

⁶On another Sabbath he went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was shriveled. ⁷The Pharisees and the teachers of the law were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath. ⁸But Jesus knew what they were thinking and said to the man with the shriveled hand, "Get up and stand in front of everyone." So he got up and stood there.

⁹Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?"

¹⁰He looked around at them all, and then said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did so, and his hand was completely restored. ¹¹But they were furious and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus.

The Twelve Apostles

¹²One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. ¹³When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles: ¹⁴Simon (whom he named Peter), his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, ¹⁵Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called the Zealot, ¹⁶Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

Blessings and Woes

¹⁷He went down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of his disciples was there and a great number of people from all over Judea, from Jerusalem, and from the coast of Tyre and Sidon, ¹⁸who had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Those troubled by evil spirits were cured, ¹⁹and the people all tried to touch him, because power was coming from him and healing them all.

²⁰Looking at his disciples, he said:
"Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.
²¹Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.
²²Blessed are you when men hate you,
when they exclude you and insult you
and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.

²³"Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their fathers treated the prophets.
²⁴"But woe to you who are rich,
for you have already received your comfort.
²⁵Woe to you who are well fed now,
for you will go hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will mourn and weep.
²⁶Woe to you when all men speak well of you,
for that is how their fathers treated the false prophets.

Love for Enemies

²⁷"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, ²⁸bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. ²⁹If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. ³⁰Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. ³¹Do to others as you would have them do to you.

³²"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. ³³And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. ³⁴And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. ³⁵But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. ³⁶Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

Judging Others

³⁷"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. ³⁸Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."

³⁹He also told them this parable: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? ⁴⁰A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.

⁴¹"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? ⁴²How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

A Tree and Its Fruit

⁴³"No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. ⁴⁴Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. ⁴⁵The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.

The Wise and Foolish Builders

⁴⁶"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? ⁴⁷I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. ⁴⁸He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. ⁴⁹But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete."




Jesus Christ spoke in Parables because he wanted people that crave for God only and only these people will understand what Jesus Christ was saying in the parables. These people will unlock the mysteries of God's Kingdom and are ready to be disciples of Christ.



Hope you enjoy reading it. I pray and hope that you understand the parables and would want more of God.

Psalms

Psalm 30

A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple. Of David.

¹ I will exalt you, O LORD,
for you lifted me out of the depths
and did not let my enemies gloat over me.

² O LORD my God, I called to you for help
and you healed me.

³ O LORD, you brought me up from the grave;
you spared me from going down into the pit.

⁴ Sing to the LORD, you saints of his;
praise his holy name.

⁵ For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may remain for a night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.

⁶ When I felt secure, I said,
"I will never be shaken."

⁷ O LORD, when you favored me,
you made my mountain stand firm;
but when you hid your face,
I was dismayed.

⁸ To you, O LORD, I called;
to the Lord I cried for mercy:

⁹ "What gain is there in my destruction,
in my going down into the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it proclaim your faithfulness?

¹⁰ Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me;
O LORD, be my help."

¹¹ You turned my wailing into dancing;
you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,

¹² that my heart may sing to you and not be silent.
O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever.

The highlighted verse is the key verse. It tells you a lot about that chapter. Read it and be blessed.

Psalm

Psalm 55

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. Amaskil of David.

¹ Listen to my prayer, O God,
do not ignore my plea;

² hear me and answer me.
My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught

³ at the voice of the enemy,
at the stares of the wicked;
for they bring down suffering upon me
and revile me in their anger.

⁴ My heart is in anguish within me;
the terrors of death assail me.

⁵ Fear and trembling have beset me;
horror has overwhelmed me.

⁶ I said, "Oh, that I had the wings of a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest-

⁷ I would flee far away
and stay in the desert;
Selah

⁸ I would hurry to my place of shelter,
far from the tempest and storm."

⁹ Confuse the wicked, O Lord, confound their speech,
for I see violence and strife in the city.

¹⁰ Day and night they prowl about on its walls;
malice and abuse are within it.

¹¹ Destructive forces are at work in the city;
threats and lies never leave its streets.

¹² If an enemy were insulting me,
I could endure it;
if a foe were raising himself against me,
I could hide from him.

¹³ But it is you, a man like myself,
my companion, my close friend,

¹⁴ with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship
as we walked with the throng at the house of God.

¹⁵ Let death take my enemies by surprise;
let them go down alive to the grave,
for evil finds lodging among them.

¹⁶ But I call to God,
and the LORD saves me.

¹⁷ Evening, morning and noon
I cry out in distress,
and he hears my voice.

¹⁸ He ransoms me unharmed
from the battle waged against me,
even though many oppose me.

¹⁹ God, who is enthroned forever,
will hear them and afflict them—
Selah
men who never change their ways
and have no fear of God.

²⁰ My companion attacks his friends;
he violates his covenant.

²¹ His speech is smooth as butter,
yet war is in his heart;
his words are more soothing than oil,
yet they are drawn swords.

²² Cast your cares on the LORD
and he will sustain you;
he will never let the righteous fall.

²³ But you, O God, will bring down the wicked
into the pit of corruption;
bloodthirsty and deceitful men
will not live out half their days.
But as for me, I trust in you.

There is so much truth revealed. Read it and be blessed.

King David truly understand God so well and he crave for more of God. Writing love songs, talking to God daily and everything for God. David did everything for God and he didn't think one bit for himself. If you think of yourselves before God, you have fallen into darkness. That is all the evil one needs you to do.


If you want God to bless you and help you? you got to give everything to him, your mind, soul, spirit, and heart. Because God deserve all of ourselves.

Think about it.




God loves you
