The Devotional



Papa “J” and his thoughts?



The accused and the accuser occupy the same path. One inherits the wind, while the other inherits wisdom. These are not the thoughts of an idle tongue! Read the Holy Bible and see for yourself! Proverbs 13:22-25



For a few days we have been looking at our environment (natural and mechanical) through the eyes of my past experience on submarines. That was a long time ago and some have recently asked if what I write about is fiction or theory. To the best of my recollection what I have to say is factual and truthful, but that does not mean that what I say is without error. There is only one Book, or Writing in the world that is “Without Error” and that would be the Holy Bible. If I quote from this document a verse or two, then that quote is without error, but everything else written is subject to question. However, one needs to remember this, what I have experienced in life, I have no intention of making it fiction or an outright lie. So I do not by purpose; relate to things in blind faith, since this faith has no resting place. My soul has found solid (personal) faith and rest in Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God. “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” This is a quote from the Holy Bible in Matthew 11:28-30. It is without error, it is the truth. Believe it and find faith and peace for your soul. You'll be glad you did?



HEBREWS



Hebrews 13:4 What we hear and believe today about marriage is appalling. This is not my mindset or my personal frame of reference. Take a moment and clear your mind from the buzz of current social disciplines and civil rights. If your conscience has not been seared, then your norms and standards will tell you that our nation is caving in over morality and the lack of it. Have we become enlightened of a greater dynamics surrounding marriage, family and nation, or has our pants fallen well below the waistline of defilement? 1 Timothy 4:1-5



We do not like to hear these words! Fornication and adultery, we would like to erase these words out of our minds, but not out of our way of life. Our abuse of life has carried us one step further down this darkened path and the bed is defiled when two men or two women make themselves one in the eyes of their Creator. God will judge this activity. Jude 1:7-8.



Well I do not want to end on an unhappy note today since tomorrow I will not be writing as it is Christmas Eve. And remember that Christmas is a day that for centuries has honored the Birth of God's Son, the LORD Jesus Christ. He is also known as “Immanuel” or translated, “God with us” Meaning that Christ (Messiah) was and is that Baby, born of the Virgin Mary. So if you are inclined to say; “Happy Holidays” just remember that by interpretation – holiday is two words put together as one and those words are: Holy and Day. The Birthday celebration of the Christ Child is then the holiest day of the year. Happy Holy-Day!
