A Though for today by Papa “J”

The spiral staircase of life will rise upward for the soul of the wise, if that soul has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Even King Solomon knew this as he writes in Proverbs 15:24. (Hell is for Satan)!

MORE THOUGHTS

Every few years the ships of the seas need to go into dry dock to remove the barnacles that accumulate from travelling the oceans. If this is not done the ship becomes sluggish with the extra weight. It uses excessive fuel and can even become unseaworthy. Would you consider this for a moment? When is the last time you personally entered a haven of rest with God. As we live in the world around us it is very much like being in an ocean or sea of people. We are near enough to catch a disease, close enough to become a friend and loud enough to sway the thoughts and intentions of each other. Barnacles and more barnacles (SIN) of life will dull our consciousness of the existence of God. That Divine Institution that God places in each of us is the first foundation that the world’s counterfeit system under the influence of Satan will cause to crumble. Genesis 3:1-24; Matthew 13:10-17 and James 1:21-27. Study the Word of God and know that He personally loves you. Jesus is the only way to escape this adulterous generation.

Psalm 38:15-16

The soul that is forgiven must totally rely and wait on the LORD for Him to work all things together for good for those who love God. Romans 8:27-30. We really need to see that it is sin that gets us into the messy circumstances of life and if we have gone to God for forgiveness, than any hope of reconciliation will be accomplished according to His purposes.

Thus we will cry out often for the LORD to hear our prayer and concern as people who know our circumstance aggressively try to undermine our walk of hope and faith in the forgiveness offered and received by the grace of God. If our foot slips and sometimes does the world and Satan feel as though they have a victory, the question is; do you agree with the world, or do you run to Psalm 23:1-6.

Have this assurance found in John 10:27-30 and Hebrews 13:5-6. Do not let your consciousness of God slip because of the works of man around you. There is no temptation that is not common, what tempts you also tempts the person next to you but be of good cheer. Jesus has overcome the world and given you through His Sacrifice a heavenly Inheritance that is incorruptible and undefiled. In other words it will not perish. 1 Peter 1:3-8 or if you have the time, all of this epistle.
