What Papa “J” has to say! #323
Once a proverb is written it becomes a foundation to live or die by. Written to give purpose and direction for life; life without direction and purpose does not negate enigma, just the individual. Proverbs 1:1-6
The Devotional
Like the song relates to each of us… “There is a great day a coming, for all the peoples of the world” just the thought of this causes tears to rush my eyes. There are many, many people with a sad and broken countenance these days. I see this in there eyes, don’t you? Maybe you are one of those folks that are crying inside? I have a short story. Standing one day at a window was a young man about to jump to his death; but a voice in his mind said, “don’t do that; you’ve never given me a chance” knowing who it was the young man stepped back and said out loud. “If you are real then get me a bible”! Before a hour past, a brand new Holy Bible was placed in his hands by someone whom the LORD had also spoken too that morning. That young person was me and the other person was a business associate who to this point in time I had never met, but did talk with her most every day. I did not even know she was a believer in Jesus. Here is the rub! That was the grandest day of my life, May 21, 1975 when I died to the world and came alive by the grace gift of Jesus Christ and yet; there is a greater day a coming, for all the peoples of the world. The Name of Jesus Christ is above every name, there is no reason to look for another, He will return… soon! Are you ready to meet Jesus? You can stand complete in Jesus, just as the lame man in Acts 4:1-12.
ECCLESIASTES 6
Ecclesiastes 6:1-12 – Reaping and sowing, I have not heard much about this in these days of our lives; have you? About the only place would be if you went to church occasionally, then you might hear the pastor make some mention about the church budget and throw in a verse or two about the benefits of sowing and reaping. Did you notice the change? The devil wants you and me to sow to the flesh in order to reap the whirlwind to follow. But the gift of God is that we reap of Him; then we sow to Him in return. Isaiah 55:1-13.
God gives riches to man, do you believe this? I am confident of this, what I have comes from the Hand of God and even the cup He gives me to carry what He has given runs over… I am not bragging; First and foremost is the soul where eternity resides must be fulfilled, Ecclesiastes 3:11 and 6:7 since both the wise and the fool have a soul. When the heart is filled with Jesus Christ we have reaped all that God has to offer us. Abundant Life, a great and fulfilled life just as John 10:7-18 describes.
One of the saddest journeys in life is to live a selfish life. At this time of year there are many a scrooge who know this all too well. They have plenty all around them, but they do not have what matters most. They have no love and no one too love. They go down to their grave in sadness of heart simply because they have missed the most important event in His Story. Luke 2:8-14. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus the sweetest Name that will sweeten the soul of everyone who names Him as their Savior and LORD; Romans 10:9-13
