A Though for today by Papa “J”

One of the temporal joys of waking up in the morning is the comfort of your spouse next to you. What excitement it is for God’s children to have confidence that eternal joy is coming and that Jesus will be that JOY! John 14:3

MORE THOUGHTS

Tsunami, earthquakes and reports of injury and death. Some say that these events in the world are not on the increase, but that the technology of reporting such occurrences has made the world more aware of these natural disasters. My thoughts are that whatever the case. If these events are on the increase or if our ability to report the event is better, there is still this world of increased knowledge that draws us to what the Holy Bible has already said. When I read Matthew 24 and 25, I see that Jesus traveled the “Information Highway” long before some computer geek coined the phrase. Notice please; Jesus states in (Matthew 24:5) that many will come, saying that they are the Christ. Remember a few days ago we talked about Father Divine and Yahweh Ben Yahweh. Yesterday we covered suffering and trauma. Again, Jesus in (Matthew 24:32) explains that Israel will begin to grow again. Israel’s soil is cultivated and the seed is showing signs of life. Israel is experiencing a rebirth. Yes our times are troubling, but also these times of life are exciting. Many people have no personal faith in Jesus Christ. Even, most if not ALL religions of the day have no hope in tomorrow. You say to me; “Why is that Jesse”? Please note: John 5:31-47. Only the witness of Jesus the Son of God is true. Moses, David, Jeremiah, Matthew, John and Paul; just a few of the thirty seven writers of the Living Word of God, and yet all of them wrote and testified that the Son of God, (namely) Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life. Get in the Boat with Jesus and be safe.

Lamentations 3

Lamentations 3:12 – I notice that some of the people of God today are spiritually feeble. Our conservative bent has been good to place us in a strong standing as being opposed to abortion, misappropriation of our taxes, immorality a host of the public sins of the nation. But we have allowed our selves to become weak by rejecting the suffering that goes on in our heart and soul being placed there by well aimed arrows of the LORD as He guides us through troubling times.

Lamentations 3:13 – I see and feel the pain and suffering on the faces of God’s people, yet we are so reluctant to seek relief. When we talk of this, we tend to dance around the edges, afraid even among our selves to share. The result is that God aims a little lower with His arrows and strikes our loins. From the heart to the lions (kidneys) or better put our emotions. From the pulpit we choke back the tears.

Lamentations 3:14 – As a nation we face troubling times. Our pastors and teachers stand on the threshold of ridicule, even among those who call themselves “Christian”. What a pity! Maybe you can already hear their taunting song? 2 Peter 3:3-4.
