Cry Out For Discernment

-

 When pride comes, then comes shame; but with the humble is wisdom. -[Proverbs 11:2]

So, Noah means "comfort and rest."  Yet we need to be made aware of the days of Noah, for they are indeed here again.  The kind of rest we're engaging in now only epitomizes our laziness to a point where there's no call to rest at all.  Resting can only bring on a quicker destruction.  There's far too many of us resting or "camping."  We're all too content in dealing with the devices of the devil.  It's time to get ourselves upright!  To make the better choice to obey God and follow through on His commands.  To say to ourselves: "I've got to see what God wants me to do today!  I'm going to discover today some of the ways God wants me to live and respond and initiate action."  It's time to read our Bibles for guidance for our lives, not just to have something good to read for our minds.

My son, if you receive my word, And treasure my commands within you, So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding; Yes if you cry out for discernment, And lift up your voice for understanding, If you seek her as silver, And search for her as for hidden treasures; Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, And find the knowledge of God. -[Proverbs 2: 1-5]

Abba Father, thank You for the Holy Spirit who is designed to give me promptings, immediate knowing of what to say, what to do.  He is my survival kit on how to respond to dangers from demonic spirits.  He gives me comfort and serenity that only You can provide anyway, making me aware that by losing i am really winning.  A wise man fears and departs from evil, but a fool rages and is self-confident. -[Proverbs 14:16]  i hear a lot of us followers saying we can't wait for the Rapture, and there are many who need to be made aware and reminded of the White Throne Judgment.  We also know that Satan must have a very long chain.

 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...
