God's Words of wisdom from the Bible for Thursday 14 July 2011

"Greeting in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on 14 July 2011"

Today's Bible Verse: Psalm 16:11 "You will show me the path of life (past); In Your presence is fullness of joy (present); At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore (futures)."

In this verse it turns out, that sometimes you CAN have your cake and eat it too!  God himself promises!  We would never have found that path of true faith ourselves as we wandered through life's wilderness.  Jesus searched for us and brought us home to life in His family, His church, here on earth.

Throughout our earthly lives, He will continue to fill us with joy in His presence.  Regardless of how we fill at any given moment, regardless of whether we happily eat birthday cake or coke down the dry bread of grief, our Lord's presence buoys our hopes and calms our fears and anxieties.

Our eyelids will one day close in death, but that will not end our pleasure in God's presence.  Instead, we will experience even fuller joys, joys we can't even imagine now.  We'll inherit the 'eternal pleasures' of God's presence, all because of the life, death and resurrection of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to whom we owe our eternal gratitude.

Today's Hymn: "Jesus Paid It All" (verse 4)

Lord, now indeed I find, Thy power and Thine alone,
Can change the leper's spots, and melt the heart of stone
Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, as we look back on our lives, we see the sustaining power of Your presence.  As we think about Your presence in our life today, our hearts overflow with thanksgiving and praise.  As for your promise of future joy, we are at a loss for words for all your love and saving grace, but the words that do come to our minds are "Thank You" for loving us before we loved YOU.
                                                                                            Amen

Today's Biblical Truth: "Eternal life is given by the resurrected Savior to all those who trust and believe in Him"

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day.  Go in Peace and Serve the Lord with Gladness.  Love God More Today and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T",  God Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".

Jesus Reigns,
