Breathing, Praying, Walking

 'Humans are like a passing breath; their time on earth is like a shadow that passes over us during the day and soon is gone.' Psalm 144:4 (VOICE)

 Humans compared. Only a passing breath? A vapor! Breathe on a mirror and watch how quickly your breath fades away. Why? How can this be?

My life. A life lived moment by moment with little substance. Then why do I care so deeply about so many things? Why do I think and over-think all my decisions?

A shadow. I can see it all so clearly now. My eternal soul is passionate about so many things in life while I am trapped in this poor as a shadow dying body that will soon pass away. So I must decide to live differently and to hold onto the things that will stand.

Then God. God's timing is flawless, He saves me from myself, my self-importance and my disrespectful behaviors by sending His Helper to me. When all else fails, I know where to turn. 

 Dear Father. Thank you for giving me life. Thank you for breathing Your perfect breath of Life into me. Thank you for each breath that I take. Thank you for sending Your Son Jesus Christ to save me.

Thank you Jesus for sending Your Holy Spirit and for giving me victory over sin and death. Life is short. Eternity is long. So I must decide today how I will schedule my time and place my focus on the important things that matter and are significant. I must decide to make You Lord of my life and to live for You. I must decide to walk in the Spirit.

Thank you for giving us a most honorable Purpose. Thank you for hearing my prayer. Stir my faith to make every day count for You.  Thank you Jesus for being a friend that sticks closer to me than a brother.

 In Jesus's name.

 Amen.

Called Forth to Life

'When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last—  the Living One. I was dead and, see, I am alive forever and ever! I also hold the keys of death and hell .' Revelation 1:17-18 (EHV) Dear Father.  Because of You and who You are I do not fear. You are Divine. You are Eternal. You are God. You were here before the world began and will be here at the end. Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son Jesus Christ, the Living One, to die for me. I recognized that I was a sinner and I made Jesus Lord of my life. Though You suffered and died, I know that Jesus lives and that He is my life source. Without Him I am nothing. He has complete authority. He has the power over life and death. He controls not only when I die but where I will go after I die as well.You comfort me with Your Word.  Let me be forever grateful and obey Your Word and live my life for Him. Jesus, You alone hav

Sending Out Invitations to the Concert

'We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan. ' Romans 8:28 (VOICE) One example of God's love can be seen in the book of Esther. Lessons from the Bible can reassure us of God's love for us and they show us that His ways are good and so much higher than our own. How powerful. In Chapter three, the evil ideas of Haman, to have all the Jews exterminated, had been decreed by the king, and the money set aside in an account for the diabolical deeds and the date was set on the calendar for the bloodshed! That part is so incredible, that one man was given that much power. Just imagine it if you were a Jew. The date for the destruction of your entire race was set and the preparations to follow through with it were being made. Thankfully, our God is greater. Our God is able. He is able to confuse the bad plans of men in power. O

To the 7th Degree

  ' Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual' Daniel 3:19 (NIV) To the leaders that are unprepared for the likes of young people full of passion. For the wicked rulers who demand men to bow a knee to them, and worship them like gods. To the world that has lost its way and punishes the faithful to the extreme, even death. We pray for thee. Let the world know that we worship no one but the One True God. Amen. Dear Father We pray for evil leaders that desire to turn their nation into evil. We lift up righteousness and righteous leaders, we lift You up. You are the One True God in whom we serve. You are the Holy God in whom we believe. You provide the God-fearing leaders that we need when we need them. We pray for those leaders. We pray for more people with courage to refuse to bow the knee to mere man. Even when we live in times when there seem
