"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 3 May 2012"
Today's Bible Verses: 1 Timothy 6:6-7 "Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this word, and it is certain that we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content."
In verse 6, "godliness" suggests a reverent faith which expresses its awe of God in glad obedience to Him.
In verse 7, "and it is certain we can carry nothing out," or, "because we are unable to carry anything out," means that men and women enter the world at birth possessing nothing, in order to teach him or her that they will exit the world in the same manner, taking nothing with them. This is a divine means of showing us that since material wealth is relatively insignificant, we should pursue the things that are important like: righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience and meekness.
While we will leave everything material behind us, we take along a far greater treasure. We take a personality that has begun to experience God's transforming work, a mind more attuned to heaven, a heart that beats closer to God's own, a will that has made choice after choice that glorifies God. What we take with us when we leave this world is a treasure house. What we as Christians leave behind is nothing.
Today's Biblical Truth: "Men and Women of God should pursue godliness, not materialism with all our being."
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, create within us a loving and caring heart that we might be open to those around us and that Your Light might shine from us as we reach out to that that are in darkness. Create within a spirit that others will want what we have. Help me not to lay my treasures here upon this earth, but lay them up in heaven. Amen
Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. Pray for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ who are being persecuted for their Faith and Trust in Jesus. Pray fro Youcef Nardarkhani the Iranian who has been sentenced to death fro his refusal to denounce Jesus Christ as His Lord and Savior. Pray for God's peace on the city of Jerusalem and His Blessings on the Nation of Israel. 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."
"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of god in Christ Jesus for you." 1 Thessalonians 5:16
May God's Love, Peace, Strength and grace be with all of you.
Your Sister in Christ,
