Daily Scripture and thoughts




What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4:9 ESV)

Dear Ones
 Paul is encouraging believers that he discipled and shared The Word with to follow after and live according to what they have seen and learned. 

Human beings are mimickers- they follow after each other doing as the others do- if a certain shirt is In style- then everyone is wearing it. Piercings are a fad- everyone is punching holes all over their body, tattoos are the latest and greatest and guess what,yep everyone is doing it.

 When you think independently then going against the flow then you are considered strange or weird.

Following hard after Christ is not popular. Allowing His Word to manifest it self, standing for purity of body and mind, foresaking your flesh is uncommon.  Loving others more than yourself, no we live by the philosophy it's a dog eat dog world. Loving our neighbors, and our enemies, NO way... Whether less set a guard over our mouths, or honor our mother and father or even take care of the orphans and widows -- now you are asking way too much. 

To justify sin people actually say we are not in the stone ages we are in the 21 st century after all. I wonder what kind of justification they gave in Sodom and Gamorah? 

The last statement the God of peace will be with you... So if you wonder why you do not have a life of peace, examine your life, guaranteed you will find sin, and you will see you are not following hard after Christ. Peace is given to those who diligently seek after Him. You will not find peace in this World, and everything in this World goes against Our Lord.

If you say you love The Lord, then how can you pray to Him asking Him for favor knowing you have sin in your life you are willing to release or change? 

Lord forgive us for not being a peculiar people. For not having the level of love we should, to die to our selves, our flesh and be truly different from this world. Lord we take advantage of You, Your Word, and Your Grace, forgive us and help us. Open our eyes so that we may see the visions of truth you have!

In Jesus Name- Amen

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

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...
