A Word from Papa “J”
The Holy Bible is not a vehicle to wage war on the world; the Holy Bible is the only source of Revelation that God Loves the world. John 3:16 and you say…” I know that”! And I say; “yes you do, but do you know this? 1 John 4:7-11
Good Morning
Over the last five years I have been typing and sending my thoughts and convictions all over the world through a very convenient electronic highway. With friends and acquaintances in Northern Europe and Israel and by those folks; to other parts of the world these daily devotionals have reached a lot of people and to that end I thank God.
I seem to be at a cross road though and wonder if I can continue. Lately I have been rewriting some of the older devotionals and reviewing some of the topical studies of the Holy Bible and thinking that it has all been very exciting for ME, yet there is a developing emptiness that seems to follow the excitement like a shadow. That shadow speaks with an uncomfortable voice that repeatedly says. So what’s the point of all those words of the past and present?
Would it not be better if I just thought about these events and prayed with a heart of thanksgiving over my experiences? Would it not be better if I devoted myself to prayer that God should rescue this failing nation; could I have done something else with all these past stories? Woulda; shoulda and coulda! Well, no doubt I could have, I would have, but I shouldn’t have. Why is that?
Because I have given God thanksgiving for the events of life and the stories that followed; also I thank God for this country, the military, and our freedom still available for YOU and ME. And WE as a nation need to cultivate our recent victories and defeats through real life experiences in order to harvest a new crop of ideas and opportunity for our young people to grow on and thrive as a FREE people. Fresh voices of opportunity laced in prayer to God with thanksgiving.
Starting on November One, I will begin sending the devotional out on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I would be interested if someone would like to join me in the writing of these daily devotionals to fill in for Tuesday and Thursday, then in 2013 launching from this old platform a vitally needed message to the world around us that Jesus is coming again. Revelation 22:12-21.
Well these are my thoughts and my prayer today, let’s see what lies ahead. In the thought of this I am reminded that we should all seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33 and what are those things? Godliness in Life, Righteousness in Liberty and Justice in the pursuit of Happiness as in Christ; nothing else matters.
