The Lord Is My Helper, I Will Not Fear

-

 For me, at times, fear is a roadblock, a feeling of inadequacy, like, today, starting a new job.  At 66 no less!  The Lord is so good and supportive for giving me this chance!  His timing is impeccable; a phone interview not going as well as i expected from one company--i mean, i had done my research on that company's website, had all the right questions.  It turned out that i knew more than the phone interviewer because he was new to the company and hadn't yet done his own research.  i wondered how is it that he was even doing the interview?  


Right after that i turned on my computer and there was an email from Walmart.  i had applied to Walmart through Indeed many times. They were telling me to go ahead and apply through the company website.  Did that.  Got a screening phone interview with them as well.  God was with me because i felt they really wanted me.  Had a person-to-person interview the next day and now begin orientation today!  It'll be the shorted commute to work in 15 years!  Praise the Lord!  I know You are a good God and that You will bless Walmart with Your protective hands

The roadblock is gone.  If that didn't help me build up my faith i don't know what will. The Lord is my Helper; I will not fear.  What can man do to me?--[Hebrews 13:6]  Lord, i know You will be there through my orientation today.  You are so good to me, and You will be good to the awesome coworkers You provide for me by bringing out their good nature for me.  Thank You for the good work environment from now on.  i await You to ordain my outcomes in this new career, my final career.  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...
