Jesus, I Need Your Clear Guidance Today

-

I know I lack the wisdom that only You can provide for me, and that's why I ask You to set me on the right path.  Should I get hired by Goodwill, then I know You want me to work for Goodwill.  I know that You, Heavenly Father, want me to experience all the challenges and benefits that will glorify Your name and strengthen my testimony.

I know that I have yet to return to church.  All the books I've been reading, including the last one by Dr. Billy Graham, encourages the assembly of Christians, so that we're able to express our love and support for each other.  And only You, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, know what's in my heart when it comes to dealing with other people.  Please guide me to the way You want me to go when it comes to neighbors and acquaintances and enemies. 

Give me more patience to wait on You and to wait for the right answers nd solutions with my problems and issues.  I know I seek Your guidance in becoming the best steward of Your money. I affirm that I want what You have planned for me.  Show me Your will and Your path for me.  I ask that You speak to me through more and more Scriptures and keep me excited to read Your Word every day.

May Your peace alert me to the fact that i am on the right track, and thank You for loving me so much that You would never leave me here on my own.  I glorify Your name because You understand my heart and know the way I feel because You were here on earth one time before and suffered on the cross for me.  Until we meet again my love and devotion to You will grow stronger in Jesus' name.  Amen

 As He taught them a shadow of the cross fell across the old testament and their "eyes were opened."  He was that ram at Abraham's alter.  He was that spotless Passover Lamb whose blood was shed to bring freedom from slavery and deliverance from death.  He was that scarlet thread that hung out Rahab's window.  The Shepherd King:  David spoke so much about Him in the Psalter.  He was Isaiah's suffering servant, the fourth man in the furnace with Shadrach, Meshash, and Abed-Nego.  And yet He will never vanish from my sight unless i allow it.  Jesus' purpose isn't to push Himself onto anyone.  As humans, as mortals, He wants us to come to Him.  That's probably the only Hunger He ever has!  Is for us to come to Him.  i was the other disciple walking along the road to Emmaus.  i've gone from the road to Damascus to the road to Emmaus.  i've been writing about what Christ has done for me. Praise goes to the Lord! ...

Having Seen the Lord on the Road

 1 Timothy:  Make sure no other doctrine is taught, no fables which cause dispute, where there is no godly edification. Timothy, prevent the spread of false teaching. Legalists cannot mix law and grace.  They engage in idle talk, having strayed with their meaningless babble.  The law is not made for the righteous person, but for the lawless, ungodly, unholy, and profane, something of which i was guilty for so long and even have the temptation to fall back into the pit from time to time.  i obtained God's mercy because i committed those wrongs in unbelief, or as a back-slider and as someone prone to worldly and fleshly desire and lust. Now i believe in Jesus Christ and only by His grace will i obtain everlasting life.  Grace by faith and trust in Him.  In Him alone.  If i were to be a young man's mentor, i would want to be a quiet encourager, a serene influence, i would want to interest him by saying as little meaningless babble as possible and lea...

When I Haven't Removed the Plank From My Own Eye

Heavenly Father, help me align myself to Your will.  Shall i take advantage of the free time and begin at the seminary?  Could i use this motel room as a sanctuary despite the distractions?  Please help me before idolatry decays my soul any further.  Don't let this defeating habit in my life rob me of my confidence in Your power to give me victory over sin making me hesitant to offer Christ as the answer to others controlled by sin.  Don't let this habit destroy my incentive to share my faith because of feeling like a hypocrite.  How could i witness to others when i haven't removed the plank from my own eye? --[Matthew 7: 1-5] Sin always results in death of some kind. It is worth the continual struggle to combat temptation.  The awful, never-ending process of combating temptation is God's means of maturing me and confirming me to the image of Christ.  To throw my hands up in defeat is to abandon the process and to miss out on life's most important...
