The correct way

Well, I’m on a roll here, messages and thoughts are coming fast today and this is my second thought / blog post of the day.  God bless you, thanks for your viewing today!!

Once again, while traveling to work in my Ford F150 pickup truck, after I dropped off my son at his work, I came upon a very busy intersection.  Many people were trying to turn onto the interstate and go south bound towards Atlanta.  Well, the turn was backed up with a lot of cars and many of the commuters will go to the next light, make a U turn and enter the interstate from the other direction.  I have seen this from time to time, most of the time I blew it off, because it did not involve me, and I thought to each his own, but then the Lord spoke to my mind and heart.

To be honest, I could write about being in a hurry and not waiting, but I want to go in a different thought here.  Doing the correct thing is my thought here. While being innovative in car travel may be a good thing, the practical lesson is notable, there’s one way to go, as it is with salvation that is of the Lord. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father but by me.”   Some will try their own way and make U turns in their car travels, but when we are talking about coming God and getting into Heaven there’s only one way.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. ¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

My friend, don't try short cuts, U turns or your own energy,  you can call on Him today!! While He is near, He will hear you!!  He will hear your prayer for salvation; why not call on Him today.

God Bless you Friend,

God's Light on YOU

 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:5

The other day, as I was taking my son to work in my Ford pickup truck.  We went down the road in my sub-division to the main road. Well, I thought my wind-shield was clean and transparent until, the SUN light shined on  it and it exposed all the blemishes, then GOD spoke to my mind and heart.

We live in this world and we think everything is all right spiritually in our life. Our walk, our words, our ways and our wisdom, are so transparent and nothing is seen, no blemishes and no wrongs. Until we put the light of His Word in our life and then it exposes all. All the mental, emotional and physical things that are in our life.  There is such a push these days to accept secular "self helps" and not turn to the bible to show you the way.

It very interesting and I want to be careful here, as I write this blog, but the brightest room in our home will be the bath room. For there, we need light to correct our appearances and groom ourselves. The make up table, it will have many light for the actors / people who present themselves on TV and the public.  So if we need light to correct our outward look, how much more should we use the light of His word to correct us spiritually.

The scriptures says God is light and His words, ways and wisdom shall direct our lives, not the wisdom of this world !!  For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; Yes, we need the mirror with a great light, let us the Light of His word shine on us !!  Then it will be obvious what needs to be changed / corrected.

But first Friend, have you seen the LIGHT ??  The song of many years age says, "I saw the light !!" no more in darkness, no more night. Praise the Lord !! I saw the Light !!  And you can too my friend, call on the name of the Lord and be saved, accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, for whosoever shall call on the name of Lord shall be saved, for your heart man believes and with your mouth confession is made unto salvation, ye must be born again !!

Come, just as you are, unto the LORD !!

God Bless you friend, in the Lord and in HIS light !!

The Christian Friend

The Christian Friend

First, I must identify "the christian friend " I am talking about the praying / church going friend.  Jesus said there would be those who calls His name but He never knew them, but that's another blog someday. :-)

The secular world and carnal Christians will need a christian friend someday. And I was just thinking about it this morning.  I remembered some friends of mine who worked at the automobile plant in Atlanta, at one time there was two.  But many of the men  professed to be Christians and worked among the other workers. I heard of them having prayer times at their break time  and devotionals at lunch time, even a little worship service with guitars and music.

  

But they would sing, preach and pray at work. BUT then, came the scoffers. Many non church goers and non believers would make fun and joke at the Christians. Until sadness and tragedy came into their lives. Then all of sudden the Christians became relevant !!  And If I have heard it once, I heard it at least three or four times.  The regular automotive worker would go to the Christian and ask for prayer.

I say this and write this in humility, no brag, just facts. They were glad to be there and to be able to say a prayer for their co-workers.  In my life time, I have said a prayer for my co-workers and was glad to be able to do it. The world may scorn and make fun of us, but I am glad to be a Christian friend.

God Bless you,

What are you seeking

As I was going to work on a Wednesday morning, the Good Lord brought this scripture to my heart and mind through a song.  In the bible, in the New Testament, the book of John chapter 4, the woman at the well.

Like the woman at the well, are you seeking ??  If so, the bible bible says on call on the Lord. Many people are looking and searching as nothing of this world satisfies. Yet the in that book of wisdom, Proverbs, particularly Chapter 3 verse 5-6 says,
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.


Is this what you need dear friend ?? Don't rely on your own wisdom, seek God, while He may be found, while He has your attention.

The Spirit and the Bride says come, Jesus says "come" cone unto Him. There's an open invitation to all. The says it best in the Book of the Revelation Chapter 22 verse 17

 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

Call on God today, for whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved !! 

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His ^[e]only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

God bless you and have a great DAY in the Lord !!
