Be My Child
Mk 10:15 — Mark this: Unless you accept God’s kingdom in the simplicity of a child, you’ll never get in.”
How NOW Shall We Live?
Life—its unpredictable, changing. As “they” say only death & taxes are predictable occurrences. The weather is certainly unpredictable. We’ve had quite a winter
here in our Ozarks. Everyone has said how beautiful the wintery scene is and yet crying out they are tired of snow and ice. Oh we are just like the Hebrew children wanting their Egyptian food, and God gave it to them didn’t He? Then they got sick of that! I’m Hungry! I’m Thirsty. I’m scared. I’m lonely. I’m fearful. I’m in bondage. I’m weak. I’m sick. I’m depressed, I’m discouraged.
The Psalmist cried out all these things too. But then He came to the conclusion:
Psalm 42:5 Why are you cast down, O my inner self? And why should you moan over me and be disquieted within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him, my Help and my God. Ps 42:11 — Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
1 Samuel 30:6 David was greatly distressed, for the men spoke of stoning him because the souls of them all were bitterly grieved, each man for his sons and daughters. But David encouraged and strengthened himself in the Lord his God.
Our whole world is full of terror, anger, war, earthquakes,famines, floods, fires, financial turmoil, hurricanes, tsunamis, rumors of war, diseases. We are on the verge of World War 3. Will we destroy our world or will it destroy us?
However there is HOPE, there is a FUTURE for those who BELIEVE! There is Perfect, Unconditional, Everlasting Enduring, Faithful Love. But its only found one place. Its found in the Son of the Living God. If You Believe in Yeshua/Jesus its yours. If you reject Yeshua, YOU are rejecting His Freedom, Future & Eternal Hope.
You decide. He gives you the choice. You decide if you will BELIEVE HIS WORD/PROMISES OF ETERNAL LIFE AND ACCEPT HIM AS YOUR SAVIOR & LORD. Yeshua never forces it upon any of His Creation but He gave His life that you may have life. A life loved eternally by Him.
How NOW shall we live in “such a time as this”?
Shall we accept His calling as Esther did? Shall we PROCLAIM & PRAY HIS WORD to release His healing, freedom, hope for ourselves and others?
Shall we live not just for ourselves and join in the battle as Soldiers of Faith, fighting the good fight of faith?
Shall we Follow our Lord Adonai Yeshua in His Way, Truth & Life?
Shall we Walk in Communion with the One Who gave His life that we might have abundant eternal life?
Shall we BELIEVE HIS WORD & LIVE IT, PROCLAIM IT, AND PRAY IT?
Shall we be ambassadors, soldiers, letters, fragrances of CHRIST to a weary dying, frightened, sin-sick world?
How NOW shall we live in these days of our lives? Toward God? Toward Our Bros & Sis in the faith? Toward others? Toward our enemies?
Ro 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God? You are not your own, You were bought with a price [purchased with a preciousness and paid for, made His own]. So then, honor God and bring glory to Him in your body.
Ezekiel 33:10 And you, son of man, say to the house of Israel, Thus you have said: Truly our transgressions and our sins are upon us, and we waste away because of them; how then can we live?
1 Peter 2:11-12 Beloved, I implore you as aliens and strangers and exiles [in this world] to abstain from the sensual urges (the evil desires, the passions of the flesh, your lower nature) that wage war against the soul. 12 Conduct yourselves properly (honorably, righteously) among the Gentiles, so that, although they may slander you as evildoers, [yet] they may by witnessing your good deeds [come to] glorify God in the day of inspection [when God shall look upon you wanderers as a pastor or shepherd looks over his flock].
1 Peter 3:9 Never return evil for evil or insult for insult (scolding, tongue-lashing, berating), but on the contrary blessing [praying for their welfare, happiness, and protection, and truly pitying and loving them]. For know that to this you have been called, that you may yourselves inherit a blessing [from God—that you may obtain a blessing as heirs, bringing welfare and happiness and protection].
Beloved, we are to live as CHRIST ONES so as to make others jealous for what we have. No matter what our circumstances, situations, conditions of life we have a future and a hope secured in Christs life, sacrifice & death and resurrection. We have His strength, supply, protection & peace. We have all that Christ took hold of for us in His Victory, even NOW. We have the Hope secure we will see & participate His final victory over the enemy once for all.
Romans 11:11 So I ask, Have they stumbled so as to fall [to their utter spiritual ruin, irretrievably]? By no means! But through their false step and transgression salvation [has come] to the Gentiles (Believers in Yeshua), so as to arouse Israel (Unbelievers in Yeshua) [to see and feel what they forfeited] and so to make them jealous.
