Daily Scripture and Thoughts

Matthew 4
17From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say,Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.



This verse is not uncommon to most believers, but truth be told not lived out in their lives. Repentance what is it?
What does it mean to be truly repenttive?
Do believers live understanding that the Kingdom of heaven is at hand?
Do we realize that we know NOT the hour that a Savior will return?
Do we live our lives with that  belief and understanding in our fore front?

Or do live in sin today not thinking about when or if we will see tomorrow?

re·pent·ance

  [ri-pen-tns, -pen-tuhns] 
noun
1.
deep sorrow, compunction, or contrition for a past sin, wrongdoing, or the like.
2.
regret for any past action.


True repentance brings someone to a point where they do not want to do whatever they were doing again. They turn from it without ever looking back.

Is that how you live? Or do you continually live in a state of sin? Does that sin control you instead of you controlling it?

Dear Ones,
Sin sneaks up on all of us. We think that we can keep control of it. Truly we can not control sin. It controls us. When stress welds up in your life, what do you turn to?
When things seem to not go your way, what do you turn to?

We must have a understanding that we are to live in a constant state of repentance. Humbling ourselves constantly before the eyes of God with an understanding that The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Thank you Lord for your Word ever lasting. Help us to live in a state of repentance, confessing our sins, and seeking accountability in our lives if necessary.- In Jesus Name- Amen

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Traditions…

At this time of the year everyone is filled with traditions. Things they do every year  to prepare their hearts to celebrate the greatest, and truest meaning of this season- celebrating the Birth of our Savior. We are no exception.. we started this tradition last year. Our hearts were to focus ourselves completely on what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating it so every evening, we light these candles…   gather around the table to read the scripture for the night, we sing the corresponding carol/hymn, then daddy reads a story. The story normally goes with which every figure we must pull and set up for our nativity scene. So far this is what we have out: The Donkey was first- because he carried Mary to Bethlehem, then the cow- was probably in the stable, the sheep were probably brought by the Shepherds who came to see the Savior, and then the Shepherd. This scene is such a humbling scene, one that reminds us that our Lord did not arrive in a mansion, or place b...
