Genesis 31.42b
It is important to know where we stand with the Lord.
It is important because, there are often times in our spiritual life when people give us a hard time. But we should KNOW where we stand, and we KNOW the Lord sees our heart, our attitude and our actions, and He defends us. “God hath seen… and rebuked thee…”
That is the point of having a Daily Walk with the Lord. (A time of prayer, Bible reading and meditation/thinking over what we have read.) And that’s the point of having Humility.

Jonah 3.5
I find myself often saying, “Thank the Lord for the Lord!” I think what I mean by that is that when I fail – God does not!
We can see this from Jonah’s life (chapter 1).

1 Chronicles 9.13
The above verse is speaking specifically about the priests and Levites, men who worked in the Temple of the Old Testament.
We no longer have the Temple of the Old Testament, but we can thank the Lord for always providing, “very able men”, (and very able women and young people) who love and enjoy serving the Lord in their local New Testament Church!

Luke 8:39
First, we see that Jesus has healed a man who had an “unclean spirit”, in fact, he had been possessed of devils for a long time and no one could help him!
“he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.”
His life was in ruins.

Genesis 47.28-29
When Jacob described his life he said, “few and evil have the days of the years of my life been” (Genesis 47.9). He realized that he had lived much of his life selfishly and immaturely... and now the truth was, he MUST die.
“And Jacob lived... And the time drew nigh that Israel must die...”

Matthew 1.23
How can that be?
God... with us?
First of all, it definitely isn’t a question, it happened! Full stop.
Then, it just amazes me that God the Father sent Jesus, and that Jesus willing obeyed. (Philippians 2.5-8)
It amazes me because I will spend my life thinking about this verse, believing it and accepting it with all my heart, but it is so far beyond my mind that I could never completely understand it.

Philippians 2:15
The darker the night the brighter the light, so our lights as born again Christians need to shine for the Lord Jesus Christ!
“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;” Philippians 2:13-15

Romans 10:1
Does your heart ever ache for someone to be saved?
“…my heart's desire and prayer to God for
(fill in the blank) is,
that they might be saved.”
Keep praying for the words to say and scripture to share!
Keep saying that you care!
May we be sensitive to God leading us in what to do and say:
Listen. Truly and honestly listen! Care. Be Kind. Be Honest and be Truthful.
Share verses about Salvation. Give a Gospel tract/Scripture brochure…

Psalm 90.14
Over the next few weeks people will be looking for some sort of satisfaction.
That is not a bad thing – the verse above speaks of being satisfied. The tricky thing is how people will go looking for satisfaction.
