Light of Life Lamp

'Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.' Psalm 119:105 (ESV)

What a dark place the world would be without the Word of God. The world is a dark place and I must walk through it with faith. I must live by faith and not by sight. God in His mercy has given me Faith. Faith and the Word. Faith is the force that God has give me to guide me. Faith comes from hearing the Word. The Word is like a lamp, a light, a candle, the Holy Spirit provides the oil. 

The Holy Spirit provides the fuel for the lamp. This lamp at my feet lights my path. Never too bright in that it illuminates everything, but just enough for the next step. So that I might see and not trip. So that I might not stumble and fall. So that I might not wander off. So that I might trust and not fear. So that I might feel safe in that God is always with me, through each and every day, right beside me and guiding me through His Way. 

Word of God be my guide. God, I make You Lord over my life, my Lord today and everyday. Here is His Word to me for the day. To God be the Glory. Here is my prayer...

 Dear Father. Thank you for speaking directly to me today. Thank you for giving me a personal Word for the day. Thank you for Your mercy and grace and for Your Word which instructs me. I need You every hour God. I need Your Word to guide me everyday. It shows me Your Will. It shows me right from wrong. It is my light shining in the dark places of life. I cannot take even one step forward in life without You. Thank you Holy Spirit for providing the fuel that keeps my Light of Life lamp lit until that Great Day of the Lord when the Son of Righteousness shall return and I will see Him face to face. In Jesus's name. Amen.

The Day of the Lord Approaches

' not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches.' Hebrews 10:25 (VOICE) Days of future trials are coming and yet are here. Last days. The day of His return approaches. No one knows the hour. So we are told to be even more diligent in our calling. We should be always watching, praying and bringing a word of encouragement to one another through the power of God. For what signs and wonders happen in the House of the Lord! Oh so amazing. The Miraculous. God provides the Fire. The battle is the Lords. We are told not to fret but only to enjoy the ride as we thank Him. So as I pray I want to thank you Lord. I am totally devoted to You. Equip me to preach the gospel. Now is the time and I will not forget my mission. As I arise I will not forget to put on my Full Armor of God. I will cling to your Bible. I am committed to carry it with me. I will hold it up as a sword in the town ...

Mixing Oil and Water

Image
 ' Behold, how good and pleasant it is     when brothers dwell in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head,      running down upon the beard,   upon the beard of Aaron,      running down on the collar of his robes! It is like the dew of Hermon,      which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the Lord has commanded the blessing,      life for evermore. Psalm 133:1-3(RSV) Unity? Unity is what God sees and demands of us because He loves us. Uniformity is what men wrongly try to force on one another and try to do to one another and to those things around them. Uniformity leads to chaos. It's a challenge to try to live together in unity when we see the things around us as they really area, different. It's a lot like trying to mix oil and water. There truly are so many things to deal with in life, all of various sizes and shapes and colors and purposes....

Up is Down Times

‘What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.’ Isaiah 5:20.   The Word of God really is like a light unto my feet, it illuminates my thoughts, it justifies my behaviors. The Word of God is good.    The Word of God is good because it reveals the Truth. God is Truth. God warns those that light up the darkness in order to rebel against Him. Darkness is sin. And in darkness sin is used to cover up sin. Lies are told to justify the ungodly; bitter is sweet, dark is light, up is down. Woe to those that condone and therefore justify sin. God will deal with them justly. God is Holy. Justice will be served.   And don't we see it being played out on the intellectual side? Being smart in the ways of the world might gain you some position of power and some stuff, but worldliness is lacking in righteousness and it will never prevail. There is nothing wrong with having ...
