daily scripture and thoughts

For I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:20 HCSB)

Dear Ones- 
Unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Scribes and Pharisees you will never enter the kingdom of heaven-

What does that mean? 

Well at the time of Christ the most righteous people where the ones who read the scrolls and interpretted the scrolls which were the Scribes and Pharisees- and in that time they were the "righteous" ones  because of their wisdom, though they did not manifest the Words of The Lord in their lives or even interpretted the Word correctly. In their culture they were righteous. Though Christ called them hyprocrites because of the lack of the Word manifesting in their lives- these Words were to give us a comparison how righteousness. 

Many of us do not know what righteous is, what it looks like or how to manifest in our lives.
We seek for our leaders within the church to guide us and manifest righteousness in their lives for us to follow. The Jewish people were no different.. except that many did not read, and no one had access to the scrolls, so they totally relied on the Pharisees and Scribes to manifest the truth for them. We are able to seek out righteousness through the Word for ourselves. Most of us can read, and see for ourselves what The Lord expects of us as Children of the King of Kings.

If you desire to live righteously, if you desire to know what the narrow path looks like - open the Word of Jesus Christ and allow His teaching to guide you.


Thank you Father- that you have shown us clearly what the path to righteousness is. Thank you that you have sent us your son! Lord guide us and open our eyes to truth.

In Jesus Name

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...
