A Though for today by Papa “J”

The cave is a den of spiders and other creepy creatures, but normally a cave is not a den of thieves! The thieves den is found in the conference room or office full of nice people!

MORE THOUGHTS

Is there progressive revelation? Some people seem to be prone or bent to find a path that leads to new revelation. They give their heart and soul to things like searching out UFO’s, the Lock Ness monster or the Abominable Snowman. These futile efforts turn into religious or devout practices that can be classified by those involved as progressive. Well, the truth is that these efforts of mankind are just a progressive waste of time and human life. We need to be careful with our human endeavors. Do you know that there is only ONE Revelation for mankind? I am talking about the complete revelation of God to Man, called the Holy Bible. The Word of the Living God is not progressive, it is complete! There will never be any new revelation from God. However, what you know about the Holy Bible is limited revelation to you as you study the Word. God will progressively add to your knowledge of Him by the Holy Spirit whom God has given to you for that very purpose. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10; 2 Timothy 2:15; John 14:26 and this progressive revelation is an eternal reward, like that found in 1 Peter 1:3-12. So be progressive in your study, but utilize the Power of God the Holy Spirit who will guide you into all revealed Truth. John 15:13-15.

Psalm 107:1-8

How often do you give thanks to the LORD? The next time you are in prayer take heed to your words! God who hears all prayer is worthy of our thanks and here are just a two of many reasons that proves that He alone is worthy. He is GOOD to you and me; He is MERCIFUL to you and me. Why? Because He has Redeemed us and Purchased by His Love. John 3:16

By His Hand of Mercy and Goodness we have been lifted out of the enemy’s land, some from the East and West, some from the North and the South, but all who are lifted out were baptized through the Blood of Christ, Colossians 2:11-12. If you’ve not been buried with Him in this baptism, then you still dwell in the land of the dead and have not been raised up to the land of the living.

Ask yourself today, just where are you dwelling? Do you wander about in a desolate way? Are you hungry and thirsty for good things? Does your soul faint at the future forecast of troubling days? Do not give up! God is able to deliver you out of all of your distress. He alone can lead you in the way that is right. “Oh, that we would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness and for His wonderful works to the children of men.”
