God's Words of Wisdom from the Bible for Wednesday 18 May 2011

"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"

Today's Bible Verse: Exodus 20:3  "You shall have no other gods before Me"

For the next ten days the Holy Spirit has put on my heart to review the Ten Commandments.  In the world that we live in a review of God's Ten Commandments will be a reminder to the believer of how our Almighty God wants us to live our lives.

"No other gods", means that God must be given absolute priority.  This commandment is key to all the others.  Unless we commit ourselves to God, and to God alone, our hearts will be drawn away from the righteousness the Ten Commandments command.  For ancient Israel "other gods" were pagan idols.  For us today "other gods" may be the pursuit of wealth or pleasure.  If our commitment to the Lord is complete, keeping the rest of the Ten Commandments will follow naturally.

God was not to be viewed by Israel as one God among many nor as the best of the gods.  He was and still is the only living God.  He and He alone was to be worshiped, obeyed, and adored by the Israelites then and us today.

Today's Hymn: "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" 

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy Grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing, calls for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it, mount of Thy redeeming love.

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit  As we serve you the One true and Living God may we as we live our lives for you not place the things of "THIS WORLD" above our worshiping you as the Almight God.  May we give you our hearts and minds and and make You the priority of our lives, and may we "NOT BE OF THIS WORLD".
                                                                                                                           Amen

Today's Biblical Truth:  "The lingering effects of righteousness will last far longer than the lingering effects of wickedness"

God's Word's of Wisdom from the Bible for Sunday 15 May 2011

"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"

Today's Bible Verse: Galatians 5:22,23  "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control.  Against such there is no law."

In contrast to the works of the flesh, which any individual is capable of preforming, the fruit of the Holy Spirit can be produced only by God.  Christians character thus results from "Christ living within us".  For this fruit to develop, all nine aspects of the fruit of the Spirit must mature.  The character of Christ is the fullest manifestation of this fruit in the New Testament.  Though Jesus did not recognize the traditions of men, His enemies were unable to prove any charges against Him. 

We as Christians today should allow the Holy Spirit to develop this character within us, so that we might be blameless before others and not hinder the testimony of Christ.  The Spirit is also like an engine.  It provides energy for the new nature, which drives the new believer in the opposite direction from the sin nature.  The Holy Spirits works are obvious, for the Spirit produces the fruit of the Spirit in the believer's personality. ("Praise God for that life changing experience")

Today's Hymn: "Love Lifted Me" (verse 2)

All my heart to Him I'll give,ever to Him I'll cling
In His blessed presence live, ever His praises sing.
Love so mighty and so true merits my soul's best songs;
Faithful, loving service, too, to Him belong
Love Lifted me! (even me), Love lifted me! (even me)
When nothing else could help, Love lifted me!

Heavenly Father  Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit  How thankful we are for the fruits of the Spirit.  Holy Spirit help us to grow and mature into the fruits of the Spirit so that we will be more Christ like and bear fruit for the Kingdom of God.
                                                                                                                      Amen

God's Words of Wisdom from the Bible for saturday 14 May 2011

"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"

I am sorry that these haven't gotten out to you in a few days but the site was down for repairs.  But PRAISE GOD  it is back up and I am now able to send out the GOOD NEWS about JESUS once again.

Today's Bible Verse: Deuteronomy 6:4,5 "Hear O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is One!  You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength."

The fundamental concept of the Shema (the name of the passage, which is the first word in Hebrew: Hear!) is that God is one and not many god's.  By definition, there can be only one all-powerful, infinite, limitless God.  To speak of more than one supreme, absolute, perfect, and almighty Being is to say something contradictory.  There cannot be two absolutes, for then there would be no absolute.  By revelation, we know that only YAHWEH is that one God.  Therefore nothing in your life that should come between you and God.

Moses repeatedly exhorted the Israelites to respond to God's love and devotion.  In this context, the word translated love may mean "to takes ones choice in".  God commanded His people to choose Him with all their being, and in the process to deny all other supposed deities.  Complete love for our Abba Father should not be a duty but a daily desire to have His arms wrapped around us and showering us with His Love, His Care and His NEVER ENDING Grace.

Today's Hymn: "Child Of The King"

My Father is rich in houses and lands
He holdeth the wealth of the world in His hands!
Of rubies and diamonds, of silver and gold
His coffers are full, He has riches untold
I'm a child of the King, A child of the King
With Jesus my Savior, I'm a child of the King

Abba Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit  How thankful we are to be a Child of the King.  Thank you Heavenly Father for Your compassion, love and mercy for us.  May we as Your children love You more each day and find a total and complete peace in You.
                                                                                                            Amen

Today's Biblical Truth: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength"

The Blog Site is back up ("PRAISE GOD") So please click on the lick at http://www.cindidavis.blogspot.com/ for Today' Scripture from Psalm 39:1-13 and is Titled: "Putting Pain in Perspective".

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 tell out, "I CAN'T",  God Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".

God's Words of Wisdom for Wednesday 11 May 2011

"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"

Today's Bible Verse: Psalm 37:31 "The law of his God is in his heart; None of his steps shall slide."


The law of God is the extension of God's nature and expression of God's will in His creation.  God's law is expressed in different forms, relating to different areas of His creation.  The physical law of God includes the laws of nature which govern the continuous physical existence of this world.  The moral law, also called "the perfect law of liberty", governs the immaterial issues of life.  The social law of God affects interpersonal relationships and can be summarized by the "royal law".  The spiritual law deals with men's and women's relationship with God.

The purpose of the law is to reveal the sovereignty of God, and place a restraint on the sinner, to show the greatness and reality of sin, and to lead the sinner to Christ.  The purpose of the law DID NOT CHANGE with the gospel.  As Christians we should be concerned to live decently and orderly  We should declare our love for God's law and make every effort to make it part of our life.

Today's Hymn:  "Give Of Your Best To The Master"

Give of your best to the Master, give of the strength, of your youth
Throw your soul's fresh glowing ardor, into the battle for truth
Jesus set the example, dauntless was He, young and brave;
Give Him your loyal devotion, give Him the best that you have
Give of your best to the Master; Give of the strength, of your youth
Clad in Salvation's full armor; Join in the battle for truth

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit  May we as Christians and as children of the King give You our loyal devotion and the best that we have.  Help us Lord to make Your laws a part of our lives so that we will be more like You .
                                                                                                         Amen

Today's Biblical Truth: "God knows that our days on earth are only the beginning of our days with Him in eternity" ("Praise God")

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".

Yours in Christ,

God's Words of wisdom for Tuesday 10 May 2011

"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"

Today's Bible Verse: Hebrews 4:16  "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need."

On Monday's I am attending a Woman's Bible Study at JPL Bible Church from the book "Love to Pray".  Last week on Tuesday I discussed week 4 of the study from 1 Timothy 2:1.  Since prayer is such a vital importance in the Christian Life I have been compelled to go back to week one and for the next seven weeks on Tuesday's take information from this book and include it in the daily writing.  I have learned so much about prayer from this study thus far and it is my prayer that it will help you in your prayer life as well.

In verse 16 of today's Bible Verse "Let us come boldly" the word "come" means to draw near.  Because of Christ's priestly work, believers can approach God's presence.  The writer of Hebrews is expressing the openness of God's call in Christ "Come"

Boldness means "fearlessness", or "courage".  Believers should courageously approach God in prayer because He is a throne of grace, and our High Priest sits at His right hand interceding for us.    

What was taught in this lesson was (1) that prayer is about a love relationship with God (2) that all elements of prayer are elements of relationship (3) that true prayer starts and ends with God (4) that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all involved when we pray.

These are the Practical Suggestions: (1) Always start your prayers by asking the Holy Spirit to teach you what and how to pray and (2) As you begin to pray, pause in order to consciously recall that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit want what's best for you.

Today's Hymn:  "Beautiful Garden Of Prayer"

There's a garden where Jesus is waiting, There's a place that is wondrously fair;
For it grows with the light of His presence, 'Tis that beautiful garden of prayer
Oh, the beautiful garden, the garden of prayer; Oh, the beautiful garden of prayer 
There my Savior awaits, and He opens the gates, To the beautiful garden of prayer.

Heaven Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit  It is the request of every Christian as well as it was with the disciples, "Teach us to pray".  Help us to realize that prayer is nothing more than an ongoing and growing love relationship with You Abba Father, Your Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit.  May we grow to understand that praying is all about loving the One to whom we pray.
                                                                                                                                         Amen

God's Words of Wisdom frm the Bible for Monday 9 May 2011

"Greetings everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"

Today's Bible Verse: John 5:30  "I can of Myself do nothing.  As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent me."

Christ's judgment is righteous because it is in accordance with God's divine will.  In verse 19 of John 5 Jesus said, " The Son can do nothing of Himself";  here in this verse He says that He can do nothing independent of the Father.

Jesus publicly identifies Himself with God the Father and not only goes on at length to prove His claim is valid, but also insists that He is the source of eternal life. This claim is validated not only by Jesus' miracles, but by the Scriptures themself.  Any who rejects Him stands accused by the very book they claim to believe "God's Holy Word".

Today's Hymn: "You Are My All In All" (verse 2)

Taking my sin, my cross my shame, rising up again, I bless Your name
You are my all in all
When I fall down You pick me up, when I am dry You fill my cup
You are my all in all
Jesus, Lamb of God, Worthy is Your Name
Jesus, Lamb of God, Worthy is Your Name

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus Holy Spirit Thank you for Your Holy Word that tells us how we might be able to come to you boldly.  Thank you for your grace and the free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.  Thank You for picking us up when we do fall,  that we may always keep our focus on You and on the Cross.
                                                                                                                Amen

God's Words of Wisdom from the Bible on Mother's Day 8 May 2011

"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"

Happy Mother's day to all the Mother's who read this Blog and to those who don't read it.  May God's richest Blessings be with you and this your Special Day.  Today's Bible Scripture and poem are dictated to you.

Today's Bible Verses: Proverbs 31:10-31
Today's Key Verse: Proverbs 31:26  "She opens her mouth with Wisdom, And her tongue is the law of kindness."

Today's Scripture Verses emphasizes a different quality about the excellent wife: (1) she is rare (2) trustworthy (3) constant in her love (4) industrious (5) thrifty (6) self starting (7) willing to do hard work (8) willing to work long hours (9) willing to do monotonous work (10) compassionate (11) not swayed by circumstances (12) a good seamstress (13) married to a leader (14) an entrepreneur (15) not satisfied with the mediocre (20) a woman of God (21) praiseworthy (22) a woman of means (23) a woman of great skills and abilities.

She is a woman of God who is enterprising and deciated to her home.  Perhaps the statement on being the excellent wife is placed at the end of Proverbs because she, above all others, will be the most able to demonstrate the principles of wisdom in the house.

                                                 "A Mother's Love"
         A Mother's Love is like an island, in life's ocean vast and wide
         A Mother's Love is a peaceful shelter, from the wind, rain and tide
         A Mother's Love is bound on the north by Hope, By patience on the west
         By tender counsel on the south and on the east by rest
         A Mother's Love is like a beacon of light, that radiates faith, truth and prayer
         And through the changing scenes of life, I find haven in a Mother's Love.

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit,  Today as we honor Mother's it is my prayer that you will bless each Mother throughout the world. I thank you for my Mom who is such a godly woman who continues to be a blessing to me.  May we honor and respect our Mother's for all that they do for us, and for there continuing love and being that quite shelter in this thing we call life.
                                                                                                                                 Amen

Today's Biblical Truth: "The virtuous woman is blessed by her family, by her children as well as her husband"

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 out out, "I CAN'T",  God Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".

Yours in Christ,
Cindi
