Closet or dark secrets WILL BE REVEALED- Luke 8:17; Daniel 2:22; Mark 4:22

 

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!!

  As we travel through this life, watch tv, or just listen to people we find that LIES are the norm.  What?  What are you talking about?  Have you ever asked your spouse what is wrong and they say nothing.  Something is, but they just don't want to reveal it.  You watch tv and whether sit coms or dramas the problem usually exists around a lie or something not told which we call SECRETS!

  Whether we like it or not, my secrets, your secrets, aka lies will be known.  Let me give you an example of one that caught me.  Often after taking some of my pills and vitamins in the morning I need something on my stomach.  So, often on my way to the gym (you will see the irony here) I would stop and get an old fashioned donut with chocolate. (yep, calories and going to the gym).

  Well, one morning I was feeling I needed something, my wife was with me and I said I was going to stop and get an old fashioned.  To make it look better I ordered a regular one with no chocolate.  When the lady brought it to the window she said, "this is regular, you usually get chocolate, it this okay" to which I replied yes.

  Oh, yeah, my wife looked at me and says, "so she knows you and you usually get chocolate"?  My little secret was now out in the open.  This, however, was a humorous moment, but many have serious other secrets.  Pornography, unfaithful, lust, lies, stealing, etc. and think they will never be caught.  We just forget one major thing:  GOD SEES AND KNOWS ALL!!!!

  Read the verses below and just know that God will reveal to the light what you think you have hidden in the darkness.

Luke 8:17  For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light.

Daniel 2:22  He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.

Mark 4:22  For nothing is hidden except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret except to come to light

Jesus is the light and HE reveals all that is in the darkness.  Take time to confess your "secrets" to God, ask forgiveness, and repent (which means to walk away from that sin).  Thank you for reading with me today. Love y'all.

In Christ's Love and Grace

Do you receive what you deserve? Job 34:10-12

 

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!

  As we look around and see the "EVIL" that is prevalent in our nation and world we become bewildered, frustrated, angry, confused, and wonder why?  Why?  Where did the common sense go?  Why have people either abandoned God or pick and choose parts of the Bible they wish to use?

   There are many ways to do many things, HOWEVER, there is only 1, yes ONE WAY to live eternally in heaven with our LORD and Saviour.  That is through the blood and sacrifice of JESUS CHRIST!!

  We may wonder where is God?  HE is still there, on the throne and HE is in control.  If you read the Old Testament, the chosen people, the Israelites, would stray and worship baal, then God would intervene when HE had enough of their idol worship.  WELLLLLLLL, get ready as the world pluments out of control with all the idol worship, the evil, and the attempted crushing of Christians.  When God has enough, HE WILL INTERVENE!

  God does not do evil, and when HE is tired of it, all I can say is: 

                                 BRACE YOURSELF!!

Job 34: ¹⁰ “So listen to me, you men of understanding.
    Far be it from God to do evil,
    from the Almighty to do wrong.
¹¹ He repays everyone for what they have done;
    he brings on them what their conduct deserves.
¹² It is unthinkable that God would do wrong,
    that the Almighty would pervert justice.

The time is coming and as Christians we need to be prepared and ready.  I am not saying Doomsday Preppers, but just be prepared. Read your Bible daily, pray, and stay in tune with the LIVING GOD!  Thanks for reading. Love y'all.

Job 10-20 Are you, as a friend, encouraging or discouraging?

 

Good morning all.  God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  YOU ARE BLESSED----YOU ARE A CHILD OF THE LIVING GOD!!!!!

   Prayers please, for friends, family, nation and world as we travel through this fear of COVID and time where everything is free by our politicians.  Thank you.

  Okay, since I have started reading the Bible, chronologically, and am in Job; which started me thinking.  A question for me and for you: Are you encouraging or discouraging?  When you say something to someone do you stop and think about the "after effects" of what you are about to say?

   Job, a man struck with disaster, has 3 friends come to "encourage" him; a wife to "encourage" him, yet none of that happens.

   His wife says curse God and die.  His friends say you did sinful things, we know, just look at you and what has happened.

   How often we are judgmental toward others; whether it be jokingly or sincerely and what or how may it damage the other person.  Do we stop and think.  Little words can cause damamge, like: stupid, dummy, idiot, fatty, or possibly phrases such as: are you going to wear that?  have you look in the mirror?  what were you thinking?

  My prayer for me is to be the kind of husband, father, and friend that is encouraging and understanding.  Often our best help is to be silent and just sit or cry with someone -- no words -- just action.

  So that is my thoughts for today.  Pray for me as I for you.  Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
