Daily Scripture and Thoughts





Genesis 12:1-5
Chapter 12
The Call of Abram
 Now the Lord said to Abram, “ Go from your country and your kindred and your father 's house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy- five years old when he departed from Haran. And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother' s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people that they had acquired in Haran, and they set out to go to the land of Canaan. 

Dear Ones-

Have you wondered what does obedience look like? 
Have you wondered if The Lord called what exactly would you do?

Abram- was a man like other men except that when God told him to do something he immediately obeyed. Imagine living some where for 75 years. You are well establised. You know people and are loved, and he says go and leave this place, and take everything and everyone with you. I can only imagine how crazy Sarai must have thought he was. She probably said - no way! Inspite of any objection he might have received, inspite of how Sarai might have reacted HE OBEYED.

The promise of blessings is incredible... because of his obedience.

Dear Ones- as we walk with The Lord in the light of His Word we are expected to have that same reaction as Abram- immediate and complete obedience in all things. We expect the blessings but do not want to fullfill our part. Our part is to relinquish ourselves, die to our flesh and follow hard after Him.

Do you struggle in sin? 
Do you find yourself battling the same things over and over and over again? 
Your lack of obedience and submission to the Word is manifesting. If you battle with sexual sin- and the internet is riddled with it- why are you on the internet??? 
If you battle with lying, stealing, manipulating truth for your own selfish gain-- Why?? 
The enemy has convinced you that you can only get things this way! Be truthful- allow God to cleanse you through His Word and stand for TRUTH... 

Lord Help us to be a people who immediate obey when we hear your voice. Help us to love you more than we love ourselves. Lord- every time I sin, every time I find myself in that place am I am willing to nail my flesh to the cross and die to it. HOW MUCH MORE DO I LOVE YOU over my own flesh????

Lord help me Heavenly Father to love you more than my own life. 
Where you lead I will follow!!

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...
