The One And Only True God

To those who are dealings with worshiping idols; Hear and listen to what God
said about this issue:

(Isaiah 44:16-20)
Half of the wood he burns in the fire; over it he prepares his meal,
   he roasts his meat and eats his fill. He also warms himself and says,
   "Ah! I am warm; I see the fire." From the rest he makes a god,
    his idol; he bows down to it and worship. He prays to it and says,
   "Save me! You are my god!"
They know nothing, they understand nothing, their eyes are plastered
over so they cannot see, and their minds closed so they cannot understand.
No one stops to think, no one has the knowledge or understanding to say,
"Half of it I used for fuel; I even baked bread over its coals, I roasted
 meat and I ate. Shall I make a detestable thing from what is left?
 Shall I bow down to a block of wood?"
 Such a person feeds on ashes; a deluded heart misleads him;
 he cannot save himself, or say, "Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?"

Is not God in the heights of heaven? And see how lofty are the highest stars!
Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:
Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and
calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength,
not one of them is missing.  (Job 22:12) (Isa.40:25-26)

The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. 
(Isa.40:28)

"To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal? says the Holy One. 
  (v.25)

I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God. (Isa.44:6,8)
Is there any God besides me? No, there is no other Rock; I know not one.

I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise
to idols. (Isa.42:8)

For God is a consuming fire, a jealous God, He wanted us to worship Him only.
(Deuteronomy 4:24)


 

A Grateful Heart!

What are the things we have reminded of the goodness of the Lord?
I thank God for His merciful and the salvation I received.
Is a celebration of his goodness, freedom and the many blessings to me
and to you! As this Scriptures said in Psalms 116:12-14


What shall I return to the Lord for all his goodness to me?
I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord. 
I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people. 

Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, 
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (23:6)

Thankful and grateful for God as this Scripture said,
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. (Isaiah 61:10)

 

                                                   THANK YOU JESUS!

Whom shall I Fear?

Psalms 27:1

The Lord is my light and my salvation--whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life--of whom shall I be afraid?
Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though 
war break out against me, even then I will be confident. (v.3)

For in the day of trouble He will keep me safe in His dwelling;
He will hide me in the shelter of His sacred tent and set me
high upon the rock. Amen! (v.5)

Knowing God

A Full Joy in Knowing God!!!
I say to the Lord, "You are my Lord; apart from you 
I have no good thing."

You make known to me the path of life; you will fill 
me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures 
at your right hand. 
(Psalms 16:2,11)

If this is true for you. Let us continue to thank God and praise Him for his wonderful
works among us.
It is good to know that God is all we need. Our contentment in Life. Amen.

                                                           In The Presence Of Jehovah

Through our Darkest Hour

God often deals with us most when we are having our greatest troubles,
illnesses, disappointments and failures. It is God's nature to show himself 
"Holy" among us and reveal to us that there is nothing He can't do to
 help us in our struggles as we completely trust in Him in all things.
So that in Him He can show his wonderful works in our life, working
in all aspects of our lives so that our trust may be always in Him,
not in men or in the flawed things that this world has to offer.
And when that Day comes when God delivers us we can boast in Him
and exclaim, "TRULY THERE IS A GOD!"

Remember Moses when God called him to a mission, to speak To Pharaoh,
king of Egypt? to tell Pharaoh to let his people go (the Israelites).
Exodus 9:13-17

    "Let my people go, so that they may worship me, or this time I will send 
     the full force of my plagues against you and against your officials and 
     your people, SO YOU MAY KNOW THAT THERE IS NO ONE LIKE ME 
     IN ALL THE EARTH.
     For by now I could have stretched out my hand and struck you and your 
     people with a plague that would have wiped you off the earth.
    BUT I HAVE RAISED YOU UP FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE, THAT I
    MIGHT SHOW YOU MY POWER AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE
    PROCLAIMED IN ALL THE EARTH." 
          
Don't feel sorrowful when God deals with you. Take it as a blessing!
It helps to make us focus our attention on God. It makes us stronger in the days
to come when we are facing bigger troubles. In every battle we endure, our faith
builds up and grows even stronger!

Hear the words of  Charles Spurgeon from his devotional book entitled,
Beside Still Waters by Roy H. Clarke.

      "You may not understand this now, because it appears to you as if
       God's saints live in perpetual sunshine. Not so! Those that God highly
       honors will tell you quite another tale. God has a way of taking his
       children behind the door and showing them some of their abominations.
       Yet at the same time, He is showing them the beauties of Christ and
       enabling them to feed on Him."

What Kind Of Wisdom?

What kind of wisdom is God telling us to have?
Is it the wisdom of the world, or the wisdom that comes from God?
The wisdom God is talking about is to fear Him and to live constantly in His presence.

To fear God means to live your life knowing that there is something much
greater than you that controls your destiny, and that something is a someone (God).
It is living respectfully knowing that you will be held accountable for the manner
in which you live your life.

(Proverbs 1:6)
THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM.

And knowing God is wisdom.  (Prov.9:10)

(Proverbs 2:1-5)
"My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you,
 turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding,
 and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding,
 and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure,
 THEN YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE FEAR OF THE LORD AND
 FIND THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD."

Wisdom doesn't means feeling frightened or terrorized by God.
It is an awareness of Gods ultimate wisdom in all things. It is an understanding 
that we have no understanding on our own. It is only God who gives meaning to 
all of life's mysteries, storms and blessings.

If you need wisdom ask God for it!
James 1:5 said,
"If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously
 to all  without finding fault, and it will be given to him."
 (read also Provers 2:6)

If we ask God for wisdom and honor Him above all else...nothing will keep Him
from blessing us with the fruits of the spirit we need in our daily life. 
(Gal.5:22-23) (12:15)

How delightful it is when we possess God's gift of wisdom!
Gaining wisdom is what God is pleased to give to those who ask Him.

Proverbs 3:13-18
"Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding,
 for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.
 She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her.
 Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
 Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace.
 She is a tree of life to those who embrace her; those who lay hold of her
 will be blessed."

The wisdom of God is so important into our daily lives, as we go out on the streets
and public places. Also when we are facing difficulties and temptations, we needs
God's help to discern the situation according to God's Word.

As God instruct us in Proverbs 4:20-22
"My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to  my words.
 Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart;
 For they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body."

The Fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, turning a person from the snares of death.
(Prov.14:27)

"I AM"

(Proverbs 8:22-31)

The Lord brought me forth as the first of his works, before his deeds of old;
I was appointed from eternity, from the beginning, before the world began.
When there were no oeans, I was given birth, when there were no springs
  abounding with water;
before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills,
I was given birth, before he made the earth or its fields or any of the
dust of the earth.
I WAS THERE when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out
 the horizon on the face of the deep, when he etablished the clouds
 above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep,
when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep
his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
Then I was the CRAFTSMAN AT HIS SIDE. I was filled with delight
day after day, rejoicing always in his whole world and delighting in mankind. 

Who has gone up to heaven and come down?
Whose hands have gathered up the wind?
Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak? Who has established all the ends
  of the earth? 
What is his name, and what is the name of his son? Surely you know!
(Proverbs 30:4)

                                                    JESUS, "THE GREAT I AM."
